  1. I voted 'good'. I loved the Estrada and Happ signings. Addressing the rotation before pitching prices spiralled out of control was a great strategy. I also loved the restraint the FO showed. After last year's success, there was no doubt great temptation to continue to feed fan momentum, but they resisted the urge to risk more of the future for short term success. I'm not yet sold on the Chavez for Hendriks trade. I thought there were other ways to add rotation depth, and losing five years of Hendriks hurts. I'm also not convinced that trading Revere for Storen helped the team if another OF isn't brought in. If there is an acquisition (Bruce? Jackson?) then I don't think anyone can take issue with the sequence.
  2. ST is here, and the offseason is almost over. Shapiro took over on November 1st, so the entire offseason has been guided by the new regime. Key moves: MLB Free Agent Signings J.A. Happ (3/36) Marco Estrada (2/26) Darwin Barney (1/1.05) Gavin Floyd (1/1 + 1M in incentives) Josh Thole (1/0.8) Trades Liam Hendriks for Jesse Chavez Ben Revere for Drew Storen with Washington covering difference in salary Options Picked up Bautista (1/14) in lieu of 1M buyout Picked up Encarnacion (1/10) in lieu of 2M buyout Picked up Dickey (1/12) in lieu of 1M buyout How would you rate the offseason?
  3. Edwin is such a pro
  4. fatter ass: Sanchez or Anthopoulos?
  5. It's amazing how effectively his power play was turned around on him.
  6. Boxy is scooping up all shares of Domonic Brown
  7. You forgot the part where he threw the first dart by throwing ownership under the bus to national media. The team has effectively punched back.
  8. Jose getting a free lesson in how to conduct your business.
  9. love this
  10. You guys must all know each other IRL too.
  11. Awful post. Nobody actually cares about $/WAR except in the context of a budget which is very much a real constraint. Obviously the decision making process is largely going to be a determination of whether $25 or $30 million for Bautista is the best expenditure of limited resources in 2019 and 2020. That's what all roster decisions ultimately come down to: is this the most efficient and productive use of money and a roster spot? Your "lol real fans don't care about &/WAR" posts make you sound like a very silly person.
  12. Thanks for clearing all of this up
  13. People here seem to think he's kind of a bag of dicks, but everyone knew that already.
  14. food porn is best porn
  15. I love a good creamy coleslaw, but it's really unhealthy so I almost never eat it.
  16. ^ This guy knows cabbage.
  17. No kidding. I would have been obese.
  18. Is there truth behind the idea that that A) Bautista is some kind of athletic freak relative to other MLB players, and that being in the 98th percentile or whatever of players his age in terms of fitness is a significant consideration when trying to determine how well he'll hold up? Some of the only guys to hold up into their late 30s recently are Ortiz, V-Mart, Manny, Thome, Bonds, and Beltran. Some huge guys, but probably not better than average fitness for players their age.
  19. This absolutely seems like something he would do.
  20. Yeah. He's been a joy to watch, but his prima donna act is really wearing thin. He's single-handedly engineered a bad situation right at the outset of camp. Just what you want from your best player.
  21. That just seems silly, even for an initial proposal.
  22. Trolling Boxy with BP write-ups on his stat-scouted players has become a surprisingly enjoyable meme.
  23. From the comments section in the article: Kind of drives home the idea that this is a potential landmine.
