  1. If he can build a farm with the best of them, let it ride. And then augment with the overpayment of free agents. Why couldn't he have done that?
  2. Bwahahaha I'd be doing a murder bit if that's what happened. Canadian jail time is easily served.
  3. Being immature is way better than pretending to be something you're not or don't want or need to be.
  4. Santos999 called the Aaron Hill trade before it was announced.
  5. Doesn't every team's FO pretty much give a positive spin on their team to their fans about the upcoming season? So I'm not really sure where this we're supposed to contend is coming from. Is it coming from you being spoon-fed what the media has slopped on your plate, or did you really think this team last year or this was a contender?
  6. So is MLB eliminating hard slides at the plate as well? Because I've never seen Rasmus launch himself like Cousins, Pete Rose or Lawrie at a 2B or SS.
  7. If you're talking about interfering with a thrown baseball, that's another discussion. I'm talking about blatant collisions where the two players are standing. I'm not even talking about sliding like you're talking about. The whole gist of this is to prevent head injuries.....not interference of players getting spiked during a slide like you're harping on.
  8. The rule is that if they're able to touch the base when sliding, they're good. And intentionally trying to disrupt, tangle the 2B or SS up to prevent them from making a further play. I can't say I've ever seen a player charge the fielder at 2B sparking a collision to intentionally knock the ball out of the fielder's glove. And some of the players I see slide within easy touching of 2B but still trying to disrupt the play, are far from gritty. Rasmus is a common one on the Jays and I consider him a soft'ish player.
  9. Players are sliding at 2B & 3B. And besides AROD slapping at the ball on his way to 1B, or Albert Belle smoking Fernando Vina with his forearms, I never see players charging or launching themselves like linebackers at 1B or 2B men. There not talking about removing hard slides at the plate out, just collisions like these guys think they're in the NFL.
  10. With expanded replay to determine intention if its needed. If the runner makes an intentional move towards the catcher and not the plate, he should be called out.
  11. I don't see how it was backhanded. Posey was receiving the ball on the 1B side of the plate and being out of position and attempting to come across and tag Cousins out, got smoked. If Zaun was receiving the same throw there's no way he'd be in the position of "squaring up the shins", he speaks of.
  12. Really? Maybe in the NHL & NFL, but not baseball. A player running home should not be looking to collide with the catcher opposed to touching the plate as an afterthought. If the catcher is gonna block home without the ball, he's obstructing the runner. If he has the ball or gets it and makes a play for the plate, the runner should still be making an attempt at the plate and not to bowl over the catcher.
  13. So what it boils down to is, you're not looking to contend?
  14. And in typical Jays fan fashion they'll steal the Rally Specs craze and pretend they invented it.
  15. Young's 8 months older than Ellis.
  16. Dude, we've got a 1 year window to win and Bautista's a 4WAR OF. We must trudge on. Tickets to retirement party bought.....check (same applies to Edwin......we must never trade)
  17. I don't remember too much projection for Thon. I remember a lot of college/pro' chatter. But I don't remember his tools being talked up, or how great he was.
  18. I was posting on the ESPN forum when it sounded like adolf was in fine form on the MLB forum. He wasn't on the MLB forum long after I joined.
  19. I was torn between leaving the other forum and joining this one, so I continued to post on both. It was just a matter of habit visiting the other site and preference for the format and ease of use on the MLB site. And you're correct. I've been doing my best to keep things civil.....that is unless someone wants to be a dink.
  20. If the money could go to Infante or spend more on Tanaka, I'd much rather go Tanaka.
  21. Beeston told him to.
  22. I think he deserves one last shot at the rotation, but eventually moves to the pen. Shorter appearances = less time to come undone mentally, can focus on a lesser amount of pitches that he has better success with (FG shows he historically gets hammered using his 4 seamer) fastball would get an uptick in velocity to sit 92-94/93-95, bigger separation from the change, meaning a better change.
