  1. or Shields, or Lester,or McCarthy.... someone reasonably good so that in 2016 the rotation is more than an almost 42 yr old Dickey and 4 kids douchebag
  2. Jays had 686 runs against.... O's 593 Team pitching peripherals very similar for both teams..... yet O's ERA more than 0.5 runs less. If we disregard park factors and luck.... better defense worth 0.5 runs a game???? This is why.... f*** Melky and Rasmus, roll with Bautista in LF, Pompey CF, Gose RF, sign Scherzer, trade Hutch for a good SS, move Reyes to 2B.... team gets the ace it needs and team defense is massively improved (fingers crossed Lawrie can stay healthy for once)
  3. Moreta is huge.... maybe Ang can tell us about that kid
  4. Lawrie is better suited for 3B with that accurate arm..... you try to get a true 2B first
  5. castro.... cubbies have two elite mif prospects ready
  6. No, the first of many... the kids a natural
  7. Wow! On a related note, I was looking at Oliver's projections for Melky. Have to say I believe those are more accurate, and he is unlikely to repeat this year's performance going forward. Bad body and all that stuff. Liability in the field. Would not be surprised if Pompey outperforms Melky in '15
  8. For the cost and what he provides at the plate, I would never sign Melky as a $15M a year DH, which is approx. what it will take Melky was playing for a contract, watch him sign somewhere else for 3 years and promptly suck
  9. Surprised at the negativity towards Gose... he was a very valuable player this year. In an extended time in the bigs, he's managed a .320 ish OBP. With some more experience I can see him levelling off at .335 OBP. He's a guy I see improving for the next few years with regular playing time. Said it before.... QO to Melky and let him walk, take the pick. Rasmus walks. Use funds freed up to sign one of the big 3 FA pitchers. I know, unlikely to come to TO unless its a big overpay. Hutch to the Cubbies for Starlin (sweeten the deal if you have to). Run with an OF of Gose, Pompey, Jose. Essentially replacing Melky with Pompey and I wouldn't be surprised if Pompey outperforms Melky in 2015.
  10. They have to pick up Happ's option.... crazy not to
  11. Greinke averaging 4.1 WAR over 10 yrs with a 9.1 WAR outlier MB averaging 3.7 WAR over 14 years as a durable innings eater
  12. 4 yrs ago on the old board I compared MB favourably to Greinke and got heavily slammed for it by the 'elite' on here Vindication
  13. eric kratz worth 19m a year. f*** me
  14. Berti has chance to carve out a career as a bench guy..... gold glove calibre defense and speed, and has carried a reasonable OBP
  15. Good... that earned the Jays a couple of extra wins
  16. WPA is not highly predictive. Generally, it is not used for player analysis and projecting the future. But it does give us a picture of which players helped their team the most during the course of a game. A fun way to think of WPA is as a storytelling statistic. It highlights the big (and most exciting) moments of a game as well as the players who contributed most to a win (or loss). Like RBIs and HRs, WPA is a counting statistic, meaning that players with more playing time will have more opportunities to accrue a higher WPA. Yer dumn
  17. You never used to be angry. Bad year?
  18. Ya, Navarro is the reason Delabar couldn't find the strike zone, McGowan served up meatballs, and Janssen got sick
  19. You aren't understanding the thread then. The thread is top 3 reasons jays failed in 2014. On April 1, the strength of this team was considered to be the offense followed closely by the bullpen. It's clear as f***ing glass why the jays failed to reach the PS
  20. Jays hitting 5/15 in AL Jays starting pitching 6/15 in AL Jays relief pitching 12/15 in AL Jays defence 10/15 in AL 1. Delabar 2. Rasmus (hitting AND defense) 3. Lawrie (his absence hurt defense)
  21. 10th in baseball, 5th in AL? where did the bullpen and defense rank
  22. Cubbies loaded with position prospects... their need going forward is pitching
  23. The failures of the bullpen (prime reason being Delabar non-performance) and defense (Rasmus and Lawrie absence chief culprits) is even more relevant to a discussion of why the jays failed to make PS
  24. True, but at some point you got to give him the chance.... why not 2015? Sure, it would be better if he spent a few months in Buffalo.... but when the return is Castro, you roll the dice
