  1. Ensuring that competitors actually have to pay market rates for talent is itself a good reason to bid. Or we can just say that only losers try, and continue to watch teams like New York and Houston kidnap talent like Brantley, DJL, etc.
  2. Could not disagree more. Have a nice weekend, Jim.
  3. The best thing about a 37 year old is that he probably only takes a one year deal. It’s a win win. Upgrade on Tellez, good PR move, short term commitment. Edwin was pretty good this year. Don’t be agist. There is essentially no reason not to do it... although Rogers will find $15M reasons not to do it probably.
  4. Is this an inside joke or do you not know your punctuation?
  5. He can’t be because he wasn’t taken 17th overall also that's racist
  6. He’d be a star. Even if he’s just a shittier version of Hamilton the draft pick would be a resounding success
  7. Yup - what you have done is an order of magnitude sadder than what BTS did and the irony is wonderful. Dunking on stupid Fangraphs writers is entertaining though!
  8. Amazing. He spiked the Beede bold prediction!
  9. * Jules Mayweather
  10. As opposed to not regretting blowing a playoff game?
  11. Love to see the Cardinals get destroyed
  12. The latter. Absolutely
  13. I know Alan doesn’t care but this is a bad precedent. Exposing real names, posting chat screen grabs... should delete the whole thread and ban King so that it is clear this is over the line It’s also not even funny so ban him just for that
  14. Delete and ban
  15. So close yet so retarded
  16. I think ~$30M is a game changer no matter how f***ing rich somebody is.
  17. I think if Toronto wants to be the high bidder and give him the richest pitching contract in baseball history then he'll come to Toronto. At this point you have to imagine that the high bidder will be giving him the Price/Scherzer contract + some inflation and it will set a SP record. They won't do that and they probably shouldn't do that so at some point it becomes silly to even talk about it.
  18. I know you are mostly just a troll, but this is not a great point. There is a huge difference between adding someone like Cole to the 2015/2016 team that was already bloated with old players and veteran contracts on top of a thin farm and adding someone like Cole to a lean and mean 6-7 year team like the current Blue Jays appear to be.
  19. The nice thing about prospects is that it's almost always at least somewhat realistic to hope for big improvements. Look at Trent Grisham (Clark) for instance - dude hit .230 with no power for three straight seasons and then in 2019 looked like an elite prospect with all of the tools. Kevin Smith's 2018 showed that he has the tools. His 2019 showed that he is, like Justin Trudeau, just not ready. Can he recover or will his professional career be tarnished by the blackface of his 2018 stats? Who knows!
  20. Okay, one of you needs to go for it and switch to the Nats. Mikolas is not that good!
  21. I don’t think your point is even remotely fair. Hicks had more WAR in the 2/3 of a season before his stinker than Brandon Drury has in his whole career.
  22. Can I get a Wander Franco jersey instead of a Vladdy one when I win?
  23. Once in a lifetime opportunity here!!!!! The oldest running message board dynasty league that matters is in need of one new owner! The Darrell Dynasty League is what it's called. It's named from an inside joke with a dead umpire, I think. The team you would be taking over is stacked and won the league three times in the last five years. We play on Fantrax and it's a 7x7 head to head league with minor league rosters and stuff. YOU will be not a nincompoop, preferably a frequent poster, and preferably a smart fantasy baseball player. Send a resume to Boxcar's DMs and he will pick the lucky person.
  24. I feel better and better about the Rays every hour.
