farts move down wind

actually it probably makes it more likely that he loses his job since Pompey is literally better than him
-
worse park for LHB HR
-
You'll need to do a better job than that of explaining the value the Bruce would provide that isn't captured by WAR.
-
I feel like 2015 Jay Bruce was maybe basically the same dude as 2008-2013 Jay Bruce, just with worse luck and worse defense.
-
I should write those things. I wonder if they're hiring.
-
Did teams just start shifting on him in 2014? Lawrie has less IQ points than your goat
-
The book isn't quite closed on Jay Bruce, guys. His ISO and K% were both at career norms last year. His GB% was back to normal (was way up in 2014). His hard hit % was back to normal (was down in 2014). It's entirely possible that he largely got BABIP'd last year (.251) and his true demonstrated talent equated to that of a comfortably above average hitter. It's not like he's dead. Still only 28.

I like Jay Bruce and I think his hat from yesterday is cool http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/69972428/v543939483/jay-bruce-arrives-at-camp-discusses-trade-rumors/?query=Jay%2BBruce I also went to a Reds game in Cincinnati once and sat in his seats. So there's that.
-
Of course recent seasons should mean more. Use your common sense, Olerud.
-
Yeah they could just think Bruce is fixable / has been unlucky or something. Even if payroll goes up by ~$5M, if they think Bruce should be better than Saunders then fine. But $10M isn't insignificant. Curious. Most curious.
-
If it's just Saunders out, Bruce in, how much money needs to be eaten for it to even be defensible? Desirable? Is there even a $ amount shy of $10M where we should prefer Bruce to Saunders? I don't think so.
-
Have to sneak a guy like Tropeano or Cingrani into it somehow. Saunders for Bruce makes less than no sense.

the stove is HOT jay bruce is NOT

There is honestly nothing wrong with employing Jose and EE for 2016, taking another run at the ship, and then qualifying them and watching them become Red Sox. It would be fine. Most of us would survive. -
What he meant to say is that basic talk about MLB team revenues and payrolls with Rogers and the Blue Jays makes no sense because of their unique ownership situation. "It's really unfair to talk about revenue, payroll and all of that stuff to me, because I know that for this organization those types of normal considerations and constraints are non-existent"
-
Holy f*** Jose Bautista the accountant pulls Rogers' pants down so everyone can see the sneaky hidden money in their tightey whiteys. Toronto Blue Jays Jose Bautista's days are numbered
-
wrongly
-
Jose is talking to Rogers, I think.
-
He's just a big mouth. His heart believes in hometown discounts because it will help him become a sports legend.
-
that was a good one
-
Should trade Riemer/Reimer. the NHL is so dumb was it Paul Gaustad that got traded for a 1st rounder a few years ago?
-
He had his worst offensive season since 2008, so all things considered maybe the worst season of his career in terms of production. In Blue, he never once looked like the real Troy Tulowitzki.
-
I can't believe any team even wants players like Matthias and Spaling
