He means that it's not very deep as in it doesn't really make you think about things like good entertainment art tends to. Good entertainment art expands your point of view and makes you curious and introspective, it makes you explore things about yourself, other humans, and how you interact with others. When you watch Game of Thrones you just kind of enjoy the blood flying and try to hide your boner from whoever else is in the room. It's about as "deep" of an experience as playing Call of Duty.

Vasquez f***ing suxxxxxxx

I actually find it pretty boring compared to the books, for some reason.
-
Bit of a weird case because he's been consistently good, but he's a soft throwing righty. Unless he has a huge 2015, I bet he gets close to Garza/McCarthy money. But IIRC he had a shoulder strain and elbow inflammation last season. Could go down next year and ruin his earning potential.

Surprised a rebuilder doesn't want to throw you a milk bone for a flier on Buckles.

Phil Hughes' skill level changed.

Why do the Raps keep Nogueira and Caboclo on the end of their bench? Can't they send them down to the D league?
-
lol, if I was doing a rebrand like this I would probably let it "leak" early in the process just to gauge fan reaction.
-
yeah but to be fair the Jays rebrand was basically a tap in. The old brand was awesome and the metallijay was horrendous - took no brains. I question the timing of this Raptors rebrand though. Why during the season?
-
I don't really get the hate. New logo is legit. I liked the old ball and claws too but the font was really bad with the cheesy Jurassic park serifs and the jerseys were very boring. Looks like the only goof here was the original decision to release the black and white version which was too close to Brooklyn's (but better).

This tidbit was from before 2014, on Fangraphs:
-
Yeah sort of. They are just much worse to begin with.
-
I think it's a push for relevance and an attempt to change org culture, more than an attempt at actually making the playoffs. I mean, maybe if they get lucky and everyone stays healthy and they get 2 or 3 breakouts they can sneak into a wild card...
-
where is the gold/brown coming from?
-
Yeah I find it so frustrating how everybody is heaping praise on AJ Preller and saying it's so nice to see the Padres being so aggressive. I don't like a single move they've made, in a nutshell, except for maybe the Myers deal which I guess you could make a decent case for from San Diego's perspective. They have the biggest OF in baseball and now they have possibly the worst defensive unit patrolling it. I don't think they'll even be .500.

Sounds like Refsnyder/Pirela will be asked to fight for it
-
Having to pay league fees would be a big turnoff for me. If the DDL was going to be a Fantrax league we would have much different stats too.
-
Apparently he's not who I thought he was. Forget him. The guy they actually signed is a no-info 1996 Mexican named Jose Francisco Dominguez
-
The Blue Jays seem to be making a lot of solid waiver claims and minor league signings this offseason. Added guys like Chris Colabello, Caleb Gindl, Ezequil Carrera, this guy, Wilton Lopez, Kalish, Barton, Albers as stashable depth.

Maybin Venable Quentin Smith Liriano Most of them have to get traded. Quentin could platoon with Alonso and turn into a 1B/OF platoon guy. Venable could hang around as a bench piece I guess, but he'll be much easier to move than Maybin so Maybin is probably just the 4th OF. Seth Smith could play 1B (with Quentin) and they could trade Alonso for whatever. Rymer could simply start in AAA but him and Renfroe are kind of redundant as AAA RH COFers and they might be smart to just trade Rymer now while he's still just 23 and a "prospect". Although if he goes ham in the PCL they could get a better return in the future, maybe. Of course they could have him penciled in as the Upton replacement in 2016. They could do a lot of different things and they'll have to do at least some of them before the season. They could still flip an arm or two too, like Kelly or Despaigne, who are young and talented and way down the depth chart. Cashner Ross Kennedy Johnson Morrow Erlin Luebke Wisler Despaigne Kelly

I think his stock has nowhere to go but up at this point but you know I'm always open for business
-
Chris Davis gets his Adderall exemption again! Can't wait for my .400 OBP Votto and 50 HR Crush Davis 1B/UTIL tag team to hit the field.
-
The O's nixed a couple of FA signings recently due to medicals. The Napoli FA signing got nixed because of his degenerative hip (But I think he's ended up making more money than he would have on the 3 year contract anyway!).
-
It probably happens a bit more often than you think because with lots of minor deals you don't really even hear about them until the official announcement (or at least the day of the official announcement).
