yes, indeed 98% of the guys in baseball are good clubhouse guys

86, on Fangraphs. Projections are unreasonably low on Dickey and Estrada though. So call it 88. 90<- Boston 88 88 83<- Rays 77<- Orioles Actually, they have Goins and Travis flipped right now too. That's a two win flip. So the reasonable range is probably 86-90 wins right now. Easiest spots to add to: Relievers 5-7 are all around 0.0 WAR Smoakabello only project for like 1.1 WAR, combined Thole is at 0.1 WAR in 140 PA Ben Revere is only projected for like 1 WAR (this is questionable).

I would actually want no part of Papelbon, and I generally don't care much about the elusive concept of team chemistry.
-
King must just sit at his desk all day, one monitor on twitter, the other on BJMB, itching to copy pasta tweets. I get it, but to this extent it's a bit of a weird fetish
-
His velo was up this year!
-
lol that's a bad contract GMDM is back
-
How many do you have so far?
-
The Rockies seem to never sell high on hitters. They probably should start making a habit of it...
-
It's funny that Ed Rogers acquired the Toronto Blue Jays for like 1/2 of the $$$ that David Price just got paid to play for the Red Sox.
-
I wouldn't really say that. Roles are just a lot more blended these days. Atkins will probably do the vast majority of every day GM stuff, but I'm assuming Sha-pie-ro will have the final word on any significant moves, even if the budget is unaffected. Basically, Atkins' motto will be "What Would Mark Do?"

It's too bad that Toronto blew their load last year. I don't see any conceivable way that they can competitively acquire Chapman without making the MLB team worse. The Dodgers have a lot of good prospects. Some guys that are expendable to them, like Austin Barnes, Zach Lee, and Jose Peraza are MLB ready commodities that have actual value. Could see a couple of those guys as part of a Chapman package.
-
Toronto doesn't need an MLB lefty. Cecil is elite and Loup is good. They could use a RHP to slot in above Sanchez, though. Good thing there are, like, 100 available.
-
The modern "VP of Baseball Ops" is what the GM used to be. Lots of GMs today are functionally what used to be considered AGMs. Baseball front offices continue to expand as organizations realize the value of talented executives. New titles are needed for the extra suits.
-
It'll be interesting to see how Gallardo's contract compares to Estrada's.
-
Well of course he'll cost more, he's better. Do you mean that in a nutshell you think Happ is more talented than Lackey?
-
Well a lot of people liked to the look of some of the SP2/3 guys like Lackey and Iwakuma
-
Hard to like his projected $8.8M salary, though.
-
Nah. Everything from the WM fits cleanly into Around Baseball or the Offseason Roster Thread
-
burned
-
Yeah, no.
-
Billy Beane continues a string of bad moves, giving Madson 3/$22. Probably pushes Hendriks down into more of a secondary set up role.
-
They would probably ask for Pompey or Travis and not be all that interested in anything less. I don't really see the appeal in Cashner. He's a big injury risk and his production has to be pretty suspect too as a career Petco guy. He didn't even get a good amount of whiffs until last year.
-
It's not like Shark was amazing in Chicago. His RA9 skeez were not demonstrated even if the fWAR was good. His awesome 2014 kind of looks like an aberration. I mean he's good. I don't know if I would call him a strong #2 IRL.

The entire mobile industry in Canada is such a quagmire... the government made all those new rules to protect consumers but all it's seemed to have done is shift more costs to consumers. Sure, before you had to sign a 3 year contract but it seems like it was easier previously to get a $0 phone and a reasonable data plan. Now you just can't get anything reasonable with the major carriers. You're looking at spending $100+ out of pocket on a 2 year contract for any shiny phone, and then you HAVE to spend $75 to even get the discount on the "superphone". But even then, you probably get 1 GB tops for $75. So you're approaching $100 before you have anything reasonable. It's just not worth wading into. I'll just get hand me down last generation phones on the cheap from people that I know and try to keep my current plan forever. I'm currently paying $60 for 6GB and I feel like a pirate.
