    In Knight's defense: a) the complainant's submissions said she had a skull fracture Molly Knight is not a medical professional who can read CT scan results ^ this is what her lawyers may say "willful ignorance" would generally speaking actually be an argument used by Bauer's camp. They would say something like "it is no defense that you did not know; it is your job to know. The mere fact that you did not know comes from wilfully failing to meet your journalistic responsibilities because you wanted, so madly, to defame Mr. Bauer"
  2. Laika
    yeah that would mean two starters on the IL at least
  3. Laika
    There are other ways to walk through the situation. "in an attempt to harm someone's reputation" would be subject to heavy debate. what was her actual intent? regarding the evidence - did she just misinterpret the medical evidence and truly believe she was reporting facts? how and why did she misinterpret the evidence? was it confusing, reasonably speaking, or was she negligent or wilfully blind in her review? it's complicated extremely unlikely that she a) knew it was false but tweeted it anyway with the explicit intent to harm Bauer's rep
  4. Laika
    Yeah that's probably the worst part for Molly Knight. The tweets.

    Replacement level projection but that STILL might be a slight improvement on the OF depth chart because guys like Mallex Smith and Palacios could be sub-replacement level for all we know.

    I was in a small Yahoo points league for years that did this. Not a draft n hold, it was a keeper, but the points system was based on linear weights. It was lots of fun. The only tricky part is balancing pitchers, I think. IP are worth so much and it is kind of boring if everyone just maximizes bulk SP.

    Yeah... I don't do litigation at all so really I have no idea and jimcanuk is probably more expert than I at the subject but Bauer's claim seems pretty flimsy on the whole "actual malice" part. Like, the media for sure reported and spread some information that was not factual but actual malice? Really? I dunno. And the stories being referenced from when Bauer was a free agent are kind of funny because of how TRUE they are in hindsight. Like, Ken reported teams were wary of signing Bauer because he might be a distraction? Well f*** yeah, look what happened lmao. So have fun in court with that argument, Bauer lawyers.

    If this lawsuit goes to the finish line the effect on Bauer's career will probably be more palpable when it comes time to assess damages because the suit would take years.
  9. Laika
    this doesn't mean that he's not if he has any mind to go after MLB I would guess he would assess that claim once his suspension saga is over
  10. Laika
    lmao good bump *snort*
  11. Laika
    it's the totality of things - ******** - not even a career blue jays - arguably overrated
  12. Laika
    Well yeah a bit. Semien will not have the counting stats he did in Toronto but the Rangers lineup is more mediocre than downright awful. Belt is always a performance and injury risk but he's a solid hitter. And when healthy a safe play. Taylor has some mild playing time risks in that lineup too

    Probate Tax is like 1.5%, sir. Your inheritance of the principal residence of your old protestant parents is mostly untaxed.

    Semien side if competing this year, for sure. Cronenworth if rebuilding I guess. But even then I'd prob just trade Semien for younger guys.
  15. Laika
    Yeah, I agree. And I have seen it all.
  16. Laika
    I really hate the three catcher roster. I hope they don't carry McGuire forever. Otto Lopez or Palacios or even Smith or Lukes would be better IMO.
  17. Laika
    Yeah it's probably near the top of the wish list as far as in season upgrades go. I would expect them to pick up a good defensive CF on a minor league deal later on in spring or early in the season, if there is one cut loose.
  18. Laika
    well he was with Toronto for less than 33% of his career, I guess that matters to some people
  19. Laika
    big sad someone fork fangraphs please
  20. Laika
    I'm not sure it's fair to say that Toronto has no reasonable CF backup. Tapia is not a GOOD centrefielder and he is probably decidedly below average, but it's not like he is going to be a -20. Playing mostly the corners he is an average outfielder by UZR and above average by OAA. He can probably cover CF and it won't be tooooooooooo painful depending on how long it is.
  21. Laika
    Yeah a Kike Hernandez would be sweet

    The year is 2022 You will own nothing, have no savings, encounter advertisements everywhere, and you will like it

    OMFG this new Fangraphs popup makes me want to scream
  24. Laika
