    I'm guessing this is because you rub a lot of BBDLers the wrong way and are generally disliked.
  2. Dr. Dinger
    I'm in as long as I get a Top 2 pick.
  3. Dr. Dinger
    Dat career postseason 487 wRC+!
  4. Dr. Dinger
    Maybe. Or maybe it's easy to crush a grooved fastball when it's an average pitch and the rest of the arsenal isn't good or getting thrown for strikes. When you throw 98 with sick movement like Sanchez, no one sits on the curve, so sometimes s*** like that will happen. It's especially true with a geezer like Ortiz, who has to cheat to get around on a fastball that good. In Hutch's case, the fastball is 91-94 with little movement, and there's no plus breaking ball to worry about, so hitters sit dead red on him. At least that was the case this year. If Hutch's slider magically re-emerges, I think we'll suddenly find that his fastball is also much more effective.

    Actually?
  6. Dr. Dinger
    I disagree, this is why control and command are two different things. Locating your fastball on the edges of the plate is very much a skill. Granted, the ability to do so can very from year to year, and I expect Hutchison to be better in 2016 than 2015. He really did misplace/"groove" a lot of heaters this year and got pounded for it. But also, this is a byproduct of not having a breaking ball to keep hitters honest. In 2014 his slider was (at times) nasty, in 2015 in abandoned him. Maybe he was tipping pitches too.

    Come ON!

    I don't think SRF really gets much attention outside of the Jays community. A full season of 6 BB/9 is pretty boner-killing.
  10. Dr. Dinger
    Your lack of enthusiasm is probably warranted given how little power he's shown and the fact that he really only hit this year. Still, his plate discipline is very impressive and he's ultra-athletic, so you can probably project a bit more power at maturity.

    That would be a perfect signing for the Pirates, though.
  12. Dr. Dinger
    Pirates release Allen Webster already. Odd move since they just bought him last month.
  13. Dr. Dinger
    I would bet he doesn't even get $70M. If he's holding out for $100M, he'll probably be the last guy to sign and take a 1 year deal.
  14. Dr. Dinger
    Repressed homosexuals need to come out on their own terms, don't judge him too harshly. I mean, just look at John Travolta. I don't judge him, I pity him.
  15. Dr. Dinger
    LOL @ how much more popular this thread is than the pospect rankings.
  16. Dr. Dinger
    LOL! Seriously? Wei-Yin Chen seeking 5 years, $100 million http://www.rotoworld.com/images/headshots/MLB/6888.jpg MASN's Roch Kubatko hears Wei-Yin Chen is looking for a five-year, $100 million contract. Might as well shoot for the moon in this market. Chen produced a career-best 3.34 ERA, 1.218 WHIP, and 153/41 K/BB ratio across 191 1/3 innings this past season for the Orioles. Those are better numbers than right-hander Jeff Samardzija posted in 2015, and he just scored a five-year, $90 million free agent contract from the Giants. Chen is even a few months younger than Samardzija, and he's left-handed. St. Louis and Baltimore are known to have interest.

    These things are just snapshots. The farm looks dreadful beyond Alford, but we still have a group of talented young players with 5-6 years of control who recently graduated. Pompey would be a consensus Top 2 on this list, and Osuna has never faced an MLB hitter younger than him. There is an intriguing core in place beyond our mid-late prime vets. Alford really looks like he can be an impact top of the order hitter and CF.
  18. Dr. Dinger
    So you agree that you're the bottom in this relationship? That's a good first step.
  19. Dr. Dinger
    I LIKE BIG NOSES, OK!? Jerks.
  20. Dr. Dinger
    lmao
  21. Dr. Dinger
    He can't hit and he doesn't walk at all. Really a headscratcher... surely the Reds could have gotten a sexier centrepiece for Frazier, who isn't even an impending FA.
  22. Dr. Dinger
    Pretty sure he said the same about Gattis.
  23. Dr. Dinger
    30% K, 13% SwStr... he could really be a monster closer some day if they go that direction.
  24. Dr. Dinger
    That could make sense. De Leon and Montas would be a starting point.
  25. Dr. Dinger
    Either that or they think he can step in and quickly be a high-leverage reliever, which I would be okay with.
