Yeah maybe, but Stras/Gio/Zimm/Fister is right there. I don't think much of Haren at this point and I think Tanaka is heading to the Yankees. I can't see Scherzer and Anibal being as good next year.
I doubt it, Tanaka is a stud. I'd be shocked if he doesn't get at least 6/$100M, not including the bid obviously. There will be a dozen or more teams that bid the $20M max.
He traded Frazier in FC, still owns him in DDL I believe. Actually I inquired on two prospects on his block, both position players. I think I've got a good stable of pitching prospects so I'm looking to add positional depth.
I was knocking him down a notch because he hasn't produced anything yet, I'm not knocking him for having a s***** team. I commend him for bottoming out at time at the right team (I think Rodon is going to be a franchise player).
Burnett and Liriano had great years, but I wouldn't bet on a repeat. Does no one remember the army training/hell's angels debacle? Because that was extremely bushleague.
Spam the board with ignorance but kowtow to the mods = acceptable
Contribute intelligent discussion frequently and occasionally tease a mod with clearly tongue-in-cheek statements = ban
I actually like gsnarls as a poster but this was a really terrible, knee-jerk decision.
Even a one day ban was f***ing retarded and power-trippy. We're all familiar with NJH's sardonic brand of humour, he's the best writer on the blog FFS.
