  1. Is UZR of any real utility for first basemen? EE: -11.6 runs per 150 games, career. Smoak: 0 runs per 150 games, career. Jays would benefit by roughly 1 full win by playing Smoak @ first everyday and keeping Edwin off the field. That extra 2%!
  2. Doesn't seem outlandish for a 185 lb man that was running ~16 mph. I didn't even take Physics in high school though, ha. I mean if you simply dropped him from a meter or two, the force of impact would probably be over 1000 pounds....
  3. I was insulting Sport Science, not Min Science. I'd assume that Min Science would be much more cleverer. They'd probably only make videos every 11 months though.
  4. lol, Sports Science is so dumb. I like the part where they told us how long his arm is.
  5. This is an excellent, excellent minor league signing. Carrera is a perfectly viable CF backup defensively, he's got plus speed, and he's actually shown some decent hitting ability in the minors. If Pompey flops, a Pillar/Carrera platoon in CF probably doesn't sink the team.
  6. Both the 14 year old super douche Wesley and the Rodriguez guy that he's referencing are just playing reporter on twitter. They either "report" something 5 minutes after someone else had the scoop, or they just blatantly make s*** up based on some rumour from earlier that day. It's pretty funny actually.
  7. Maybe I need to be more explicit. I'm just razzing him, boxy. hashtagRazzing hashtagRazzleDazzle hashtagDDL
  8. He's not that much better than Melky. Maybe not even better. Maybe worse!!!! Also not that cheap... arb4 this year and made over $7M in 2014. Salary + prospects = real cost for a mediocre dude.
  9. http://stores.wholesalecentral.com/Images/0Q5S50OJ6PMWULMO4GOMF0343MVCIA/8593355328.jpg
  10. Also, I persistently offered you Utley for Peavy which would have solved basically all of your problems but you were so f***ing afk that I traded him to Boxy (ugh).
  11. Just in case you were wondering.... literally all of your pitchers are 40 and possibly retiring mid-season, and about 4 of your starting position players have become utter s***, even for a 20 team league. The bolded names suck! 2nd Leg to Stanton (therealmin - TRM) BATS Yasmani Grandal Ryan Howard Kelly Johnson Josh Donaldson Erick Aybar Adam Jones Matt Holliday Michael Cuddyer Hanley Ramirez Alex Rios Giancarlo Stanton Martin Prado ARMS Dan Haren RA Dickey Kyle Kendrick Robbie Erlin Hiroki Kuroda Craig Kimbrel Tyler Clippard Jonathan Broxton Luke Gregerson Joe Nathan CJ Wilson Jeff Samardzija Jake Peavy Bartolo Colon
  12. Well look at this s*** bird that decided to pop in...
  13. Depends on how his partial season goes this year. If he leads the league in ERA and starter K/9 and adds those accomplishments to his ROY, 3rd place CYA finish in 2013... hard to say.
  14. Yeah but Medlen's came two years later. He was perfectly healthy in 2012 and 2013. I just cannot for the life of me understand why a team that itself publicly states that it needs pitching won't just give Medlen a few million. But, maybe they have an agreement to sign him back for some tiny incentive laden contract or something.
  15. Lincecum settled for $9M in first year I think, with the team filing at 8 and him filing for 12. Ryan Howard's first year was $10M I think. Certainly Fernandez would be awarded something more than $4M, if he continues to be a phenom.
  16. Holy f***, Braves non-tender Beachy AND Medlen. Medlen could probably get a f***ing multi year deal right now. It was just TJS. Beachy a bit different because the TJS came while recovering from an initial TJS, so he'll just get a flyer contract from someone.
  17. Definitely more. More like Lincecum's.
  18. Jesus Christ the Cardinals are annoyingly smart. Matt Belisle for 1 year, $3.5M. Guy has been very stellar for a half decade in Colorado and his FIP and velocity were just fine last year.
  19. Trade for Fleury!
  20. Maybe if they have Andrew Miller lined up, but otherwise, yeah. The Devon Travis acquisition certainly makes one think that the Blue Jays would be on someone like Souza. It all depends. Lots of time to sort the roster out, acquire another lefty, etc.
  21. I think he's just holding his ground on a previous offer to Melky that was much lower than Cruz's 4/$58.
  22. He makes no sense as a backup C, part time DH. Smoak is probably a better hitter and a significant defensive upgrade at 1B over Edwin. AA and Navarro should both want him to get traded pretty bad. I would basically give him away to save the $5M, personally, but I doubt it comes to that. Someone should flip an interesting reliever for him....
  23. Alexei, Semien, or Anderson. Alexei for Shark is actually pretty fair.
  24. I think it's likely that they overrate their own roster, and don't realize that players like LaRoche, Gillaspie, Viciedo, Garcia, Danks, Flowers, and some of their top RP are complete f***ing plugs.
