  1. I'm starting to think Mark Appel will never play in the majors.
  2. I don't see that happening, he was awesome last year. I would trade Osuna + Kepler for him.
  3. I would trade a closer, either David Robertson or Roberto Osuna. I'd want to get some thump at either OF or 1B/DH.
  4. Yes and no. It's certainly crass but the writing is usually pretty funny and topical. The main 5 characters all bring something to the table, which is crucial. I haven't seen the most recent couple of seasons so I can't speak to whether or not it's still good, but the first like 8 seasons were damn funny for the most part.
  5. It's crazy that they're on their 11th season. I mean, they're still about 60 episodes behind Seinfeld, but that's a really impressive run for a sitcom these days.
  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Always_Sunny_in_Philadelphia It's basically like Seinfeld except with 4 delusional alcoholic sociopaths instead of relative normal people.
  7. IMO his suspension should be shorter than Chapman's, in this case. Both charges were dropped, but Reyes didn't involve a firearm.
  8. Or PitchFX confused some of his curves and sliders. He threw it enough that he believed it was causing him arm troubles, so that's considerable.
  9. It's probably broken, but at least it's his right wrist.
  10. All things being equal, the incumbent will always win out. Besides, this is a tempest in a teapot. If Osuna blows a few saves and Storen is tight, it will quickly change... albeit not because of draft pick compensation.
  11. The type of Blue Jays fans who call Wilner have no idea how good Cecil really is. Even then, Wilner would probably say something retarded like "You can't have a lefty as your closer. You just can't!"
  12. An egomaniac whom Donaldson insulted, if you believe the rumours.
  13. You also never hear him discussed as a closer candidate and you never read about him saying he wants it. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors? Maybe he just really doesn't feel comfortable in that role.
  14. He blew a couple early last year but he also had shots the previous season IIRC. I kinda prefer it this way, it frees us up to use our best RP whenever we need him.
  15. Yep, objectively, Cecil is our best reliever and has been for three years. For whatever reason though, he does seem to choke when given a chance to close. Maybe SSS, or maybe he just doesn't thrive in high pressure situations. I dunno.
  16. That's because half this board lives in a fantasy land where bullpen roles are decided not on merit but on the possibility of future draft picks and arbitration salaries. Pay them no mind.
  17. I'm not even sure how this could be considered a troll. Probably at least 28/30 MLB teams use their best reliever as their closer, if not all of them. Osuna is our best reliever, not to mention the incumbent.
  18. Looks like scrapping his slider didn't work so well.
  19. You're still gonna make like 3x as much as me, so
  20. Yes it is. It's like a cowboy/rancher word, look it up in the dictionary, DICK.
  21. Are you planning on killing yourself? The other day this guy PMs me "If anything happens to me, my brother gets my fantasy team."
  22. Don't closers on mediocre teams get more saves? Every team in baseball is going to win at least 60 games, but our offence puts us in a lot of huge leads where saves don't apply.
