    Has to be GD. I am in the weeds right now with finals and a massive term paper

    Hard to like or hate this. Jays need pitching, he's fine, doesn't cost a draft pick, has been OK here before, is a little bit intriguing because of Pittsburgh success/changes, and we live in a world where Feldman and Vargas have gotten deals like this already. Have to take what you can get in free agency.

    Tulo Donaldson Martin Bautista Edwin In 2017/2018 they could be paying five players around $100MM. Safe to say that if Price sign in Toronto, one of EE/Bautista has no chance of getting extended?

    http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/extension-candidate-jose-bautista.html How much would you offer both of them this offseason? Would you pick one over the other? Try to give them raises in 2016 in exchange for shorter terms?

    He was actually serviceable last year and would be a massive upgrade on any other MiLB depth options currently in the system
  6. Laika
    Wow, Deck was actually serviceable in AA and AAA last year. That's kind of terrifying.

    question all of your life choices

    Has anyone turned over their entire roster now? Almost my entire roster has come from trades. A couple of adds. The only remaining original Butt Stallion is Zobrist. Hisashi Iwakuma Danny Salazar Jake Arrieta Kyle Hendricks Hector Rondon Jonathan Papelbon Raisel Iglesias Brett Anderson Adam Wainwright Wily Peralta Joey Votto Neil Walker Evan Longoria Ben Zobrist Chris Davis Alex Gordon Dexter Fowler Brad Miller Corey Dickerson Tommy Pham

    Getting back on topic, decide for yourself if the 2016 roster is fragile:

    like Hope Solo it's when her gape is so big you can see sunshine in there
  13. Laika
    Well then I will assume you are a virgin

    Most Sunshine Girls are horses, Spanky. You'll need to provide pics or else it didn't happen (rule on the internet)

    I like to buy Pizza Pizza garlic dips from the grocery store and just spread it on my white toast in the morning

    per se
  17. Laika
    yeah but #1 is a traitor #3 actually scares me

    I think IQ and baseball IQ would be well correlated but not necessarily the same thing. Brett Lawrie is probably dumb in both regards. It's probably entirely possible to be a brick IRL but be smart at sports.
  19. Laika
    Being smart about baseball Everything Brett does well is instinctual. His defense is purely instinctual. When he succeeds at the plate it's all instinct and athleticism in a "see ball, hit ball" kind of way. It's hard to ever imagine him becoming a cerebral, patient hitter, isn't it?

    You don't throw it out the window, it's part of the sample. Noise isn't really a technical or scientific term but it's basically just unexplained variation from the truth/mean. I'm not really a stats nerd so I'm the wrong guy to explain anything. Too bad we had to put Nox in the ground earlier this year We can assume based on all prior information that Brett Lawrie's true defensive skill isn't -15 runs. Something noisy happened in 2015. I'm not sure what. But there could be some truth underneath the noise, if he did actually decline a bit. We won't know for a little while though.

    lol
  22. Laika
    It's not Steamer's fault that Burch has the inverted L and went the way of fellow phenom Mark Prior.
  23. Laika
    Lawrie only projects for 1.5 wins at this point. It's over, man. Maybe the best recent example of why personality matters in player development.
  24. Laika
    Ben Revere straight up? lol
  25. Laika
    Well the amount of reasonable/expected decline in defensive skill at 25 years old, with no debilitating injury, is very small. Actually, players should still be improving at 25. http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/625887/feilding.jpg?_ga=1.138826931.1292300710.1445115791 I don't know what the reasonable amount to "chalk up to noise" is. But we know that one season of UZR isn't a stable measurement of skill. Make your own conclusions about likelihood. We saw Lawrie play defense every day for a few years.
