  1. Didn't even know O'Day was a FA. Yes plz.
  2. Well, he's a bit weird because I would have normally said yes but his GB rate dropped a ton this year. Fewer swinging strikes and hitters are swinging and making contact a lot more often, both in and out of the zone. His velocity hasn't declined so idk what's up. The White Sox are terrible at everything so it's possible that they gave him bad advice or something.
  3. He had what, 3 starts? Yeah, I don't see that having much of an impact but then he was just as good during the season.
  4. Yes, obviously you would be buying low on his inherent talent.
  5. His playoff performance will play a very small role. Insignificant, if you like.
  6. Shark and Lackey for me. Maybe also a flier on Rich Hill.
  7. are you actually responding to the dogg?
  8. Can't go outside this time of night in murcuh
  9. What an absolute shock that you seem to have a warped sense of reality.
  10. Yes, it's definitely not that your ideas and issues are absurd, but that everyone else is a dumbass.
  11. Yeah and yet he hit just as many home runs with runners on as the best of the best middle of the order hitters.
  12. That's actually a pretty good ratio, lol. Mike Trout: 31 of 41 homers were solo shots. Nelson Cruz: 31 of 44 Bryce Harper: 25 of 42 Why do you post something like that when you don't even know it works against the point you're clumsily trying to make?
  13. They won 93 games after being a .500 team in late July... Seriously, all these "DURR MOAR SMAL BALL" *******s need to kindly f*** off.
  14. Also, here is the Blue Jays version of the Royals lineup: Revere Tulowitzki Pillar Bautista Encarnacion Colabello Travis Donaldson Martin
  15. Yes. We scored like 200 more runs than the Royals but let's try to be exactly like them. Awful.
  16. When they moved him to third for a while a few years ago, he said he felt he serves the team best in the OF but if they needed him elsewhere it was fine. He just didn't like moving around on the fly. So, he's no Ben Zobrist but I think he will understand that he's not the defender he once was (which wasn't special to begin with.)
  17. Heyward gets good reads and takes good routes. He's not a, basically, all speed defender like, say, Pillar is. (disclaimer: Pillar is great but he doesn't always get great reads or take good routes is my point)
  18. He's gotta realize he's a liability. He seems like a team first guy and if the team thinks it's best I doubt he'll raise a stink.
  19. I would kill to have Bartolo Colon on this team. Kill.
  20. Then you have to give the Royals healthy Holland.
  21. How can you be a major league manager and not know that Liam Hendriks and Mark Lowe are your best right handed relievers? Just the mere thought that Gibbons does not know this makes me really question his awareness of the game. Such a basic thing to not know.
  22. I'm not worried about a Heyward deal but I'm not spending big on pitching. I actually also forgot John Lackey is a free agent, I'd definitely go hard after him too. Old and probably won't cost an arm and a leg.
  23. Man just imagine it... Heyward Donaldson Bautista Encarnacion Tulowitzki Martin Travis Pillar Pompey I'd break the bank for Heyward. Whatever it takes.
  24. True, but this offseason can transfer momentum. If they make a spash this offseason after a playoff appearance when they became the best team in baseball, they could get back into the 4 million attendance range. Has to factor in, plus ad revenue.
  25. Well, obviously I'd prefer Zimmermann to Estrada but there will be a massive difference in cost. I dunno how much Heyward will cost but I'm sure the FO recognizes that he would be the most beneficial acquisition for this team for the price. I'd hate it if they went out and signed Chris Davis or something but I'm pretty sure they won't.
