    Ok, just not sure why else you would mention that he was "back", North.

    Are you calling him up?

    Throwing harder than ever because his timing is probably even worse. I bet Fernandez goes down again within the next five years (although as an organization you probably wouldn't care about that, unless you had him signed to a mega extension).

    Fiers is very good. 3.1 fWAR and a 3.12 ERA in his last 178.2 major league innings (2014-2015). If the rumour is true, and it seems plausible, then I think you can count Toronto out for all of the big rentals. They are probably looking at more controllable players without big 2015 salaries. Non-Rental Targets Tyson Ross - $5.2M salary - controllable through 2017. Jesse Chavez - $2.2M salary - controllable through 2016. Andrew Cashner - $4M salary - controllable through 2016. Jon Niese - $7M salary - controllable through 2018 (two team options). The list isn't very long though. Hard to find guys that fit the bill. Shields and Hamels - controllable BUT expensive. Jose Quintana and Alex Wood - controllable BUT expensive in terms of prospects. Gallardo, Haren, Colon, Leake - Not controllable, particularly sexy, or cheap in terms of $$, but wouldn't cost a very good prospect.

    Pretty easy to test. "Top 100" prospects get traded all the time - just look at expected WAR vs top 100 position for all prospects and traded prospects (or traded vs. not traded). I'm with North. I bet the traded prospects underperform a bit, on average. It's not always the case but lots of the time when a team trades someone, it's because they aren't in love with them as much as the field is.

    All he does is swing wood at a projectile and run around really fast on grass. He plays cave man in a funny uniform for money. I don't see how the impending doom of his father would affect that so significantly. Now, trying to sit around in a cubicle all day staring at Windows98 while your father's life ticks down to nothing - that would be tough. Mad at God for giving your loved one stage four dick cancer? Swing the stick harder, in anger. Sports are practically an outlet for such feelings. Almora should be BETTER because his dad is dying.

    Most people's dads are dying from cancer, we just don't know it yet. Not really a great excuse for being an overrated putz.

    Estrada is probably more talented, sure, but peripherals and projections think it's pretty close. Teams like Oakland and Tampa Bay make a habit out of selling guys like Estrada (or just letting them walk), and bringing in guys like Doubront (currently, Erasmo Ramirez).

    I dunno, some of those older fax machines...
  22. Laika
    they are way closer in talent than you think
  23. Laika
    I'm pretty sure you're right, and it's something like 5 or 6 years of service time.
  24. Laika
    I like that you have a lunch box

    wow you f***ing suck Gustavo Chacin retired like 5 years ago
