Is this your own quote? It's brilliant
-
Do you mean like, career options outside of baseball?
-
The problem is that in any one post it's not apparent that it's trolling. You have to see what that person is posting consistently to get that it's all hot garbage. So they manage to incite a lot of responses
-
Wait, Smoak is getting a raise to $3.9M? That seems too high.
-
Isn't it patently obvious to everyone that there are two extremes for trolling? A) In good humour, funny, light hearted. Meant to be positive in the long run by increasing the levity of the board. More people are included than excluded from the "joke". (see half of my posts). Meant to annoy as many people as possible. Strictly negative. Brings no value to the board. Only annoys people in the long term. The "joke" excludes virtually everybody aside from the poster. (see everything RealAccountant posts) Sure, some people like HERPDERP fall somewhere in the middle and make things confusing, but when someone it obviously in the latter category and it can be demonstrated by a large sample of worthless content then they should be banned because they suck
-
It was a meniscus removal. Still sort of routine but I think it's more likely to lead to minor chronic issues, chronic knee pain for Saunders.
-
Of course I don't know why that poster hasn't been perma-banned. He's an obvious troll...

I find it kind of absurd that they would non-tender him, unless they have inside info that his injury is so severe that his career is maybe over.
-
Don't worry, Craig Gentry just elected free agency!
-
too lazy i like being pessimistic anyway, especially with arms

It looks like Samardzija is smelling his fingers
-
When Greinke gets 6/$200 and Samardzija gets $100M+, JA Happ might look a bit more handsome
-
That's what I thought was happening but then I saw the final trade, where the M's threw in some controllable LHP that they got in that Karns/Miller trade.
-
And Hutch was also the #3 starter a few weeks ago. Suck eggs, you cynical dirt squirrel!
-
Like why not just non-tender TRUMBO, keep CJ and sign s***** CATCHER? hmmmmmm?
-
yes, true
-
Good!
-
I don't understand why the Mariners would want to do that trade Must think Clevenger is a frame god or something
-
Yes if the mods can remove any lists until we are done it will help avoid biases and influences. This is important work and should be taken seriously, or not done at all.
-
So Ike Davis is firmly getting non-tendered then Might be marginally better than Smoak.
-
It would end up being a lot less than 128 because he'll inevitably need other days off for day game after night game, nagging injury reasons, etc.
-
- All he did was look at offense in a 21 game sample size. It doesn't really mean anything. - Even if his conclusion was correct, you would assume it would affect any catcher so you might as well let Martin catch and then you at least benefit from his arm. - The only real consideration for having Martin not catch Dickey is the "toll on his body", which is common sense, but even then I don't support sitting Martin for 1/5 of the team's games. He should still catch some Dickey starts + DH some of the ones he doesn't.

Does RA Dickey's other Dickey effect cancel out the famous Dickey effect? Earlier tonight I saw this article from October: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-culmination-of-the-r-a-dickey-experiment/ Apparently Martin was -16 Blocking Runs below average, thanks to Dickey. That's about 1.5 wins down the drain. What did CC estimate Dickey's "Dickey Effect" on other pitchers was worth initially? +1.5 WAR. Hmmm. The run value on blocking seems way too high though. If you look at passed balls, Martin averages about 4/5 and this year he had 19. Wild pitches were close to his career norm. There's no way that 15 extra passed balls would = 15 extra runs.
