    Ew! Not at the dude thing, at marriage in general.
  2. Dr. Dinger
    Oh god I'm so bored too. Shut up King.
  3. Dr. Dinger
    Syndergaard is a lot better, I don't know what kinda game you're playing here.
  4. Dr. Dinger
    Are you implying that he isn't?
  5. Dr. Dinger
    Rightly so
  6. Dr. Dinger
    Confirmed
  7. Dr. Dinger
    If anybody has prospects they need to cut, I would trade picks or RPs (Madson, Diekman) for them.

    Ok which one of you asked this in the BP Chat? --- PompeyCanuck (Ottawa): Do you think that the White Sox, Blue Jays, & Pirates could find a 3 team deal that would send McCutcheon to the Jays, Quintana to the Pirates, and prospects to the White Sox? (I ask as I think the Jays want McCutcheon, but don't really have what the Pirates would want in return) Bryan Grosnick: So, I think that Quintana is obviously the highest-value guy in the deal right now ... which is bananas to think about from a start-of-2016 point of view. So the Pirates toss a guy to the Sox such as ... Taillon, maybe? The Jays would certainly have to send Reid-Foley as well as either Alford and/or Guerrero to the White Sox ... so it probably comes down to who the Sox' scouts like, and whether or not they'd want someone who is closer to the bigs or further away. If I'm the Sox, I go for a premium prospect in the mold of a Giolito or Moncada ... a true Top 10 guy ... if I'm dealing Quintana. I don't play around with quantity over quality.

    Well $200M was never realistic, but $170M is.
  10. Dr. Dinger
    I disagree. The Blue Jays have now proven that a successful team will fill the stadium. The impetus is now on the front office to maintain success in order to keep those gate revenues high. Falling back out of contention will surely kill off that revenue stream. You're not sinking 100% of that money back into the payroll, but it's much easier to justify increasing the payroll now that we know what the potential revenue of a soldout stadium is in this decade.
  11. Dr. Dinger
    It's not really an equal analogy, because we can always reduce payroll in subsequent years when attendance drops. We have no large contracts on the books at all.
  12. Dr. Dinger
    Well if selling out every game and getting to the ALCS back to back years doesn't increase payroll, I don't know what would.
  13. Dr. Dinger
    Actually you'd be surprised.

    Dave Cameron stealing my comps again. 12:07 Otis Redding: Are you a Keon Broxton fan? Can he cut down on his K%, and improve his .AVG? 12:07 Dave Cameron: Improving a K% is difficult, but I like Broxton even with the whiffs. He’s a legit center fielder with some power, so even with the strikeouts, there’s a chance for him to be a poor man’s Carlos Gomez.
  15. Dr. Dinger
    Sorry, no. I don't care.
  16. Dr. Dinger
    RJF going full troll.
  17. Dr. Dinger
    Double negative. Are you saying they ARE ugly?
  18. Dr. Dinger
    Pittsburgh is so strapped for cash that they gave us prospects just to take Liriano's contract. Quintana would be considerable cost savings for them even over the next two years.
  19. Dr. Dinger
    I dunno how accurate they are. These are averages, but you have to keep in mind prospects carry considerable risk, especially pitchers.
  20. Dr. Dinger
    $35.6M for our two prospects plus $40-70M for Glasnow is right in the ballpark of Quintana's expected value.
  21. Dr. Dinger
    Since you are interested Hitters ranked 75-100 (Alford) = $20M Pitchers ranked 75-100 (SRF) = $15.6M Total value of Jays offer = ~$35.6M compared to projected surplus value of $27M for two years of Cutch at 3 WAR per. So perhaps you have undervalued our prospects a touch. It's not as crazy as you might think.
  22. Dr. Dinger
    Actually what that table shows is that even if Cutch posts 12 WAR over the next two seasons, the additional surplus value of Quintana's contract is still worth a pitching prospect ranked 11-25 in baseball.
  23. Dr. Dinger
    We can only guess, really, but based on recent history, the value of 1 WAR inflates by about half a million per year. Just a few years ago we were making these calculations based on $6M or $7M per WAR. This offseason, $9M seems to be the typical figure.
  24. Dr. Dinger
    This is strictly a comparison between the value of the contracts of the two MLBers.
  25. Dr. Dinger
    2017 is present value then $500,000 inflation per year. This may seem inconsequential now, but it makes Quintana's contract that much more valuable 3-4 years from now.
