    He's certainly beeeeeg and strooooong.
  2. Laika
    Every time I've seen Smoak play it's like he's swinging a pool noodle.
  3. Laika
    Yeah he's got surprisingly little pop. Big enough to muscle 20 out of the Rogers Centre, but he's not going to be hitting many second deckers or anything. This is evident in his minor league SLG and OPS along with the MLB ISO.
  4. Laika
    No. In all honestly it's probably just Boras leaking fake Blue Jays interest to the Japanese media in order to increase Toritani's leverage. Maybe all Toritani wants is more money from his NPB team so he hired Boras to fake legitimate interest to cross the ocean.

    lol @ a mean projection that low. Goins ranked 112th in wRC+ out of the 119 2B that Steamer projects. At least he's projected to outhit Cesar Izturis though.
  6. Laika
    Yeah I don't trust any offensive numbers from Korea

    Who really knows. Fiers throws like 88. If he gives up some homerz in spring training, he could lose the gig, projectable talent be damned. Recall that this isn't the first time that Fiers has "emerged".
  8. Laika
    Throw is Handsome Jake and Jackie Bradley and we might have a deal...
  9. Laika
    Yeah he certainly looks like a viable SS, at least in highlight packages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrmjJs5Ak_Q

    lol 4 years for Asdrubal. I guess it's possible when the market is so weak.
  11. Laika
    Well I might think about moving Steve for Harvey or Correa.
  12. Laika
    Obviously I like my own side of the trade but I think you might be buying into Pearce a little too strongly. Like I said, Steve Pearce is OTB so make me a wise offer, puta.

    A lot of those guys were out of favour on their clubs for relationship reasons but I wouldn't call them "bad eggs" by any means. Only Melky really had any past off the field issues. ECab is a different animal with his issues and with AA's more recent ostensible focus on clubhouse chemistry I really doubt that he's even in consideration. It goes beyond a basic buy-low which is essentially all that Melky, Rasmus, Escobar, and Saunders were (and Morrow).
  14. Laika
    And Saunders and Smoak! All defensive upgrades, and some of them very significant (at least I'm assuming Donaldson over Lawrie is a numerical defensive upgrade).
  15. Laika
    lol, I don't think it's a bad trade. Fowler is two years younger and he's a CF eligible who has a long track record of posting decent numbers and had a 124 wRC+ even after leaving Coors. Pearce didn't even get 400 PA last year.
  16. Laika
    Well, he can read my post, realize he's wrong, but save face by simply never responding.
  17. Laika
    I know you said you're "done" with the topic, but have a look at the possible equivalents for me. Second Basemen Gordon Beckham (28) Emilio Bonifacio (30) Daniel Descalso (28) Mark Ellis (38) Rafael Furcal (37) Jonathan Herrera (30) Brandon Hicks (29) Kelly Johnson (33) Ed Lucas (33) Ramon Santiago (35) Chris Valaika (29) Rickie Weeks (32) Josh Wilson (34) Shortstops Asdrubal Cabrera (29) Everth Cabrera (28) Stephen Drew (32) Jonathan Herrera (30) Jed Lowrie (31) Ed Lucas (33) John McDonald (40) There's just nothing there even close to Lowrie, other than Asdrubal and maybe Drew. Drew is going to want to sign as a starting SS, so count him out. Cabrera has declined pretty hard in the last two years, ostensibly, and he no longer seems like a league average player. He's a tick below Lowrie, all things considered (similar hitter but much worse defensively) and given the limited talent out there he might get an uncomfortable amount of money.

    Implicitly calling yourself a shark is pretty gauche. You're more of a secondary consumer anyway, like a mackerel. Boxy is phytoplankton.
  19. Laika
    I refuse to use the word biweekly due to gross ambiguity: I mean, c'mon English.
  20. Laika
    I think he said on twitter that he's doing semi-regular things for the post... weekly or fortnightly.
  21. Laika
    Facetious PED remarks aside, as much as it makes sense on paper, apparently he's a "bad egg" for reasons that I can't really remember. Maybe it's just the insidious/surreptitious Padres post-breakup propaganda getting to me. AA only likes good eggs.
  22. Laika
    Steve Pearce OTB
  23. Laika
    truth
  24. Laika
    Jake Fox hit 38 bombs in Mexico last year, kids. Should be good for at least 30 in the show.
  25. Laika
    That's his favourite type of guy though... You can't punish an alcoholic by giving him a beer.
