  1. True, BTS loves massive 4.6BB/9 walk rates
  2. Seriously, how the hell is Gagne not at the top of Betances' "similarity scores" on BR?
  3. I haven't had any Betances discussions! Ask BTS. I was thinking about offering Gordon but wasn't sure. I figured I'd ask the experts. Unfortunately, none of them have responded...
  4. Reliever abuse typically comes from pitching on back to back days, getting hot multiple times in a game, etc. Stuff like that that impedes the body's recovery process after the stress of pitching. So it's not wholly relevant that he's pitched a lot of innings before as a starter, a role in which usage is highly regulated and recovery is scheduled.
  5. Yeah, strictly from pitching 54 more innings with a lower K rate. I think Betances' usage has to raise significant concerns. He's used and abused like essentially no other RP in baseball.
  6. Yes, but it is nigh impossible to find breakout relievers on the cheap
  7. Yes, but that was mostly because of my misperceptions of Eaton. I had him pegged as a guy with zero HR power and marginal SB ability, based on 2014. I didn't expect him to go 14/18 this year. So, talent evaluation cookie for you. I just wrongly thought Eaton sucked.
  8. I no longer trust their lists and opinions. Still wildly useful for raw scouting data though. The eyewitness reports are great.
  9. Public opinion - is Alex Gordon a significantly better asset than Betances, marginally better, or about the same?
  10. Yeah but Betances isn't really a reliever, he's a weapon
  11. Back in high school while drunk I let my girlfriend punch me as hard as she could in the face. Pretty stupid, but I didn't even feel it. No marks. Really funny. Couple of weeks later, two friends do the same thing. But this chick was more butch... thick black arm hair and stuff. She knocked him out cold and to add injury to injury he clocked his head on a rock when he fell down. Meathead!
  12. They have become mens rights activists. Any domestic issue, no matter the facts, is a soapbox opportunity for these boys.
  13. Yeah you probably lost your credibility at that point when you skidded out the backdoor and hopped the chainlink in your wife beater
  14. Ummm can we delete this thread and ban BTS and Boxy? Thanks
  15. that's a good post, f***
  16. Couple MRA's getting all NRA up in here. #BJMBpoli
  17. Why does he even need a gun? Just carry around some baseballs and give any perps the heater.
  18. Obviously Fernandez is worth more than Stroman and you kind of have to do it, but it's still not an easy trade. Fernandez is a glass cannon. Prototypical infected Q delivery.
  19. http://blogimages.thescore.com/mlb/files/2012/02/bautista-royals-orioles.jpg
  20. CJ Wilson is on the trade block. It's only an interesting note because with his skill level, age, and $20M contract, he should be worth a little bit less than Dickey. So maybe if he gets dealt you can get a feel for Dickey's trade value.
  21. lol, you are getting nerfed hard. I'll give you Pap-smear for Jansen
  22. Wade Miley in Safeco - fantasy SP2, or just a strong SP3? (note - no other options)
  23. Guys the delta between Chris Davis and Jason Heyward could be well over $100 million, total contract. Heyward's contract might end up being Chris Davis' contract TIMES TWO, END TO END. A contract centipede, if you will. Ass to mouth contracts. It's silly to say that if they can sign Chris then they should just sign Jay. Just silly.
