    I don't think I ever chirped Parise. More so the decision to trade G for him.
  2. Laika
    This is f***ing hilarious. Fans on the internet arguing about reasonable compensation as if they are an extension of their favourite team.
  3. Laika
    That's bananas. I think you'd have to be ecstatic with a ~.360 + no missed time. It's hilarious how elite your offense would be if this was a 2011 league. Ellsbury - .321/32/39sb Bautista - .302/43 Braun - .332/33/33sb Cano - .302/28/118 rbi Miggy - .344/30/105 Pujols - .299/37/99 Ortiz - .309/29/96 Also, Craig and Desmond would have been assets.

    Basically, the Astros give up nothing and get a couple million + Valbuena + Straily.

    didn't realize we did that on PB midseason

    What are the odds that Toronto starts the year with Navarro and Thole both still on the 25 man? I'd say uncomfortably high.

    I don't even know what injuries he's had tbh. I remember he had surgery, and this year he had the mumps lol.
  8. Laika
    He has 2nd line / power play unit upside which could mean great things in Pittsburgh, but injuries have really stalled his development and any type of reasonable outlook has him probably playing mostly 3rd line minutes in the short term (rest of this year + start of next year). The Pens staff talk about the creativity/offense that he brings to the 3rd line but also the defensive influence that he brings to the 2nd line with Malkin... who really knows. He'll probably just get hurt again and I'll end up cutting him after 2015/16.
  9. Laika
    Last two years in the upper minors he's been a K-per-game player that's hit .230 and .267. His power in the minors hasn't been overly impressive, and on top of that, he smokes drugs!. Basically, I don't think he has enough power to cover for what I see as a very weak hit tool for a 1B prospect. I don't see him as a big leaguer, but even if he squeaks by I think he's a 20-25 HR version of Adam Dunn with a bit less walks, which would be, more or less, a replacement level player who only really gets consistent playing time based on "production".

    Maybe on opening day, but I don't think it will be long until Carter/Gattis are playing 1B/DH, Singleton is optioned or on the bench, and Marisnick/Grossman/Presley are in some OF spot.
  11. Laika
    BA just ranked Tapia 10th in Colorado's system. What? Anyone want to post the scouting report? I'm shocked that he's that low.
  12. Laika
    Should trade for Hamels. Give Philly Moran and/or Appel and some spare parts like Villar, Domingo, Marisnick, Woj,

    The next 4 would probably be Pentecost, Osuna, Travis, Castro (or SRF, Nay, Smoral, Smith Jr, Urena, Labourt)... they work as secondary pieces but I can't really see Washington even listening if it doesn't start with Sanchez and/or Pompey.
  15. Laika
    Hot beef is better, you gaylord.

    It'll be interesting to see what GB can get for St.Louis and Streit. I had them on the block for a few weeks and had basically no legitimate offers. Only one person even seemed semi-seriously interested.
  17. Laika
    How does one Jew out Jew another? I imagine you guys beyblade with your dradles, right?
  18. Laika
    Something's happening....

    What, do we live in a world where squares can't be rectangles?

    If a gyro is a sandwich then a folded pizza is a sandwich. I'm not sure we want to go there, as a culture. Here's a skill testing question - is an open faced "sandwich" with one slice of bread a sandwich? Or, is this just a misnomer?
  21. Laika
    Try! Just move along the line until you get to some point where you are as comfortable as possible + you think Washington might click 'accept', depending on Rizzo's mood.
  22. Laika
    I think Alcantara, in terms of public perception, is a victim of circumstance. If he was in some organization like Toronto with a glaring 2B hole he'd be viewed as a 2BOTF and a lot of people would care less about the projected OBP, since he can conceivably go 15/20 with a decent hit tool and play the middle infield. But in Chicago there's less than no room on the infield so the backdrop for his skillset is very different. Can he even play CF? Who knows. Not everyone slides down and around the spectrum with the saber-grace of a young Ben Zobrist.
  23. Laika
    Man I hope Almora maxes out and becomes the white Adam Jones just so we can shovel it in your face all day every day
  24. Laika
    Doner is the way you cook the meat. That's like saying, is barbeque a sandwich.
  25. Laika
    Is there a fourth word for Donair/Doner, Shawarma, and Gyro? If so, and we have four words that mean the same thing, we could rename our divisions for vertical spit meat synonyms. If not, I suppose we could just name Boxy's division after Falafel.
