OUCH /cringe

Is there any reason why we didn't bid on Guerrero or Abreu? ESPECIALLY Guerrero, he's a 2B for god sakes

Yes, MVPMods.com! I love that site, I've been grabbing mods from there since 2007, it's a crazy modding community. There's no MVP 14 mod, but you can grab the MVP 13 mod and add the new roster files to it.

He did it deliberately and gave a reason for it... something to do with fear that NSFW vids will be posted in this section of the forum (keeps it clean for the people at work) I think.

I don't know why EA doesn't reboot MVP Baseball. Honestly, if they would just update the graphics, rosters, portraits/uniforms/logos and add a 'My Player' mode it would be a success. MVP Baseball 2005's gameplay is still better than that of any MLB 2K game.

Going by what I saw, only JPA/Melky/2B was s***. Reyes, Bautista, Lind/EE were average and Rasmus + Lawrie were above average. I think I might be blind or bad at knowing what's good from bad (I can only compare what I see to previous Jays seasons) because only Rasmus was above average defensively, Boni + Bautista + Lawrie are all about average and everyone else is s*** according to Fangraphs. Then again I'm starting to question UZR because JP's 3rd best (though I know it doesn't take some parts of catching into account) and our worst fielders are EE and Lind (which cannot be true)

You know what we're going to do with our commanding position? Lose it because we're going to penny-pinch as usual

Us too you know

Travis Sawchik ‏@Sawchik_Trib 8m A.J. Burnett will return to pitch in '14, per source. Burnett will be open to pitching for a club other than the Pirates Travis Sawchik ‏@Sawchik_Trib 5m Source on A.J. Burnett's decision to return: "I suspect he is going to open himself up to the market." If we're still going for it, might as well try to get him on board

Sure thing

Exams are eating me alive

It's great to see Selig making a great move as the Yankees GM! Shredding Arod's salary was a great idea! It's good that AA held out this whole time this offseason. Pull the f***ing plug. No way we're matching the Yankees or Red Sox, this is mid 2000s baseball all over again.

@Ken_Rosenthal: BREAKING: Tanaka to #Yankees, seven years, $155M, opt-out after fourth year.

Ban for threatening two people in one thread!

Happy holidays erryone!

Link is wrong I think? Taking me to a dead page

I feel 50/50 leaning towards bad right now considering his whole career. On one hand he had a great mindset to start from the beginning. He dumped Wells for good package (shame that we didn't keep Napoli), took a closer by the name of Brandon Morrow and turned him into a great starter, got a great package for a Halladay who didn't want to stay here (not his fault that Drabek and Gose aren't exactly preforming as they were projected to preform, his fault for not keeping TDA) and has signed Bautista and Encarnacion to cheap long term deals, all while rebuilding the farm from scratch and abusing the FA draft compensation, to the point that it influenced the way the draft compensation is thanks to the new CBA. Now here's the down side: ever since the Happ trade, and Rogers gave him a boat load of money to spend, it changed the way he thought. He burned his hard work he's put into the farm for Happ, Buherle, Dickey, Reyes, Johnson and Bonifacio. It's sad just writing about this, but he chose to go this way, and so far he's not doing anything this off season to justify us jays fans to believe we can go for it, especially when we see the Yankees and Red Sox spend the way they have been spending in the East, and the way Seattle, Texas and A's have been bolstering their teams, limiting the chance for the 2 wild card spots.

AL West is very rapidly becoming more like the AL East.

I don't think so. If you use Chrome you can grab a nifty extension called Lazurus. It saves all things you wrote in a text field so you can pull it up again

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 43s Choo deal is for $130M with texas Direct Link

Rename it to Around Baseball 2014! Sounds much better that way

And Fielder...

Why do you try to make yourself look bad? You're not much better as a poster in my eyes right now. While a dude is trying to add to conversation, there you are being all judgmental. It's the internet bro, no need to be a keyboard warrior. Relax.

Well as long as he's not polluting the forum he shouldn't be banned. If we start banning people for being "stupid" we're going to have a handful of users that all think the same, no diversity. It's not like MohYou isn't improving as a poster either. Go easy on people lol
