  1. I haven't watched a single video since Cenk's Sam Harris clusterf*** a couple months ago.
  2. I was joking. She brings it up every chance she gets, and it's annoying. Ana suxxxx.
  3. She teaches at college tho.
  4. Watching Gallardo pitch is excruciating. And it feels like the wheels are going to fall off at any time.
  5. There's absolutely no way Rogers pressured him to unload the farm to get a 0.500 team to the playoffs. The plan was in place to sacrifice him to appease the fans after the playoffs.
  6. I think a vastly different set of transactions are made if AA isn't cheesed at Rogers with a foot out the door. Those were the moves of a guy who knows he'll be gone in three months.
  7. Teasing an org's drafting from their development is a fool's errand.
  8. The deadline is always an inefficient way to add wins. You're typically talking about giving up 6 years of control of talented prospects for 3 months of control of a good major league player.
  9. You'll stop supporting a GM for opting not to buy talent at it's peak price? Buying high is a pretty bad plan.
  10. Other teams likely want the best guys in your system. How often would you be an a position to trade a highly regarded prospect with big market value that you're pretty sure will bust? If Toronto, for example, had the payroll restrictions of Cleveland or TB, Syndergaard, d'Arnaud, Desclafani, Hechavarria, and Dyson putting up tons of wins for league min on other teams would have absolutely crippled the team's chances to compete. And evaluation is hard. Toronto drafted Sanchez and Syndergaard, and still preferred Sanchez to Syndergaard at the time of the Dickey trade. They had Yan Gomes in the system for half a decade and didn't think he could catch. They had JPA in the system for half a decade and thought he could catch. Keeping talented minor leaguers rather than selling them for expensive vets is really the only way a team with a below-average payroll can hope to string together playoff seasons.
  11. Cleveland rarely traded from their prospect pool. Similarly, teams like TB and St. Louis rarely trade from their prospect pools. Trying to win consistently under significant payroll restraints requires a constant influx of cheap wins.
  12. Yes. There's no way GD offered that.
  13. That 0.330-0.350 SLG is brutal though. That's like 70 points less than you want to be as a team.
  14. Please do the following things: 1. Take a look at the Indians roster. 2. Note the players that were drafted by them, signed as international free agents, or acquired as prospects and developed by them. 3. Realize that Cleveland's development under Shapiro was pretty much elite. 4. Stop complaining about nothing.
  15. So Mikie Mahtook is still available if anyone wants to buy into his short MLB stint. The next JD Martinez? Maybe! (but almost certainly not).
  16. I love you, Olerud363
  17. Does he go first round in the waiver draft?
  18. This post made and thanked exclusively by guys with a collective zero forum titles.
