    Clearly you've never tried to f*** a goat
  2. Laika
    So what you're saying is that the fact that Osuna is younger is a viable argument for taking him over Syndergaard for the next five years, or in five years, or whatever the question is?
  3. Laika
    f*** you, you scab. Garbage bike enabling piece of crap mod.
  4. Laika
    Ok, that's weird. To what end? His BABIP and HR/FB against are still totally normal.
  5. Laika
    Wow, this thread is amazing and hilarious but it also makes me pretty sad. So many morons here. Waste of time.

    Chen is fine but I just can't escape the opinion that he's not the guy I'd spend my moneys on or give a long term deal to. I'm not really sure why. It's just a lot of money and years to give an ever so slightly above league average pitcher who doesn't strike guys out, get a lot of groundballs, manipulate contact, throw particularly hard, hasn't touched 3 WAR or 200 innings ever. I dunno.

    Bud Norris fWAR by year: 0.5 1.7 2.0 1.7 2.7 1.5 0.0 PROJECTION for 2016 = 1.5 Lost absolutely no velocity this year. Only 30 years old. Braves sign him for 1/$2.5 Remarkable. And watch Mike Leake get a five year deal. Note the talent comparison --> http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2010&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=9492,10130 Baseball is weird.

    Not sure if you noticed but Fister was sitting at about 86mph this year. Didn't even touch 90 once. That's down 2.5 - 4 mph from his peak

    @Ken_Rosenthal: "While Price...is open to returning to Toronto, the Jays are not expected to be a major factor in his free agency"
  10. Laika
    I could see them taking a catcher, just in case getting Navarro back or another backup doesn't work out. Maybe Taylor Davis (was on BA's list). Obviously they could take any number of mid 90s relievers with control problems. Matt Bowman is kind of interesting as a SP.
  11. Laika
    not crazy just adding a bunch of cheap depth is a viable strategy
  12. Laika
    Probably not. All of this "Price likes Toronto" stuff probably just means that IF Toronto offers him a market value deal then he will accept. He's not going to leave money on the table for Toronto.
  13. Laika
    Hypothetically, let's say that Toronto reaches out to every free agent pitcher and finds out that the following guys are the only ones that will sign with Toronto (at these prices): Price 7/$210 Chen 5/$80 Happ 3/$42 Fister 1/$10 Pelfrey 2/$15 Is it really such an easy decision to not sign Price?
  14. Laika
    The thing about the free agent market is that it's not exactly a market. There needs to be mutual interest. Who knows if any of the obvious value guys like Iwakuma or Shark even have Toronto on their radar.
  15. Laika
    I am of two minds. 1) Mega-contracts to pitchers in their 30s are bad and if I were the GM I wouldn't even consider it 2) It's not my money and David Price is awesome and exactly what the team needs to maximize short term World Series chances and apparently he want sto be here so do it I will probably be an apologist no matter what they do
  16. Laika
    Well obviously you'd have to take Appel. He's like two years younger and Webster has already dug himself a -1.1 hole.
  17. Laika
    By technique I mean more to do with his footwork and routes before he throws. Having good footwork, a quick exchange, and making good throwing decisions and accurate throws. I agree that his specific throwing technique isn't great and his arm strength isn't great, maybe somewhat as a result.
  18. Laika
    So like, 2.3?
  19. Laika
    Dear god, Jed. Semien to 2B Lawrie 3rd Lawrie and Valencia can also swap in at 2B and 3B
  20. Laika
    Webster becomes a must own in all formats
  21. Laika
    I missed edit and hit reply. Pane? Do you mean tab? Who says pane?
  22. Laika
    The decision by Boston to sign him and plop him in LF was one of the weirdest big money front office decisions I have ever seen. Positional adjustment be damned, I don't know why anybody in their right mind would have thought that Hanley would be better or more valuable in LF than, say, third base. And then the layer on top of that is the green monster factor. I just don't get it. He's been a bad SS his entire career, did he really decline that much in LA? I don't think so. They should put Sandoval out of his misery and plop Hanley at 3rd. It probably improves the team defense.
  23. Laika
    Shoulder injury was basically chronic last season. I think he'll bounce back offensively I agree that he should get a tighter helmet
  24. Laika
    If you think he's say 7% below league average, then how good does he have to remain on defense to stay an above average player? How likely do you think he is to remain that good? Crunch the numbers. Do the math. Make a point.
  25. Laika
    Why even bin him at all though? It's just a generalization to fit your argument. Our scale for offense is a lot more sophisticated than "he good, he bad"
