I wish I still owned Porcello so that I could f***ing cut him this spring. *******
-
I know that I dropped Richards in like the first month of this league. Also I think I owned Blackmon before 2014 but didn't keep him past the cut. I don't think I've ever let a really elite player slip away, but might be forgetting.

Defense and pitching aren't as severable as hitting and defense. Pitching IS defense!

Let's just take a moment tonight to reflect on the fact that jaysblue dropped Jake Arrieta, I picked him up, and then he instantly became amazing.
-
It's actually very similar to the AL vote! Price is Greinke, Sale is Kershaw.

A bunch of things like - Basketball teams should basically never take a 2pt jumpshot - always either drive the rim for a foul/layup or shoot a 3 (I might be wrong). - Football teams should almost always onside kick (I might be wrong). - Baseball teams should pretty much never let a SP face an order for the 3rd time - Baseball teams should hit their most talented batters in the following lineup spots, descending: #1, #4, #2, #5, #3, #6, #7, #8, #9 - Hockey teams should never have more than one racial minority in their locker room.

This is the first time Gibbers has ever expressed real interest in trading for an established MLB roster player, I think. We are already in uncharted territory.
-
Why? Extreme groundball tendencies limit FB rate, but not HR/FB rate (at least I don't see why they would).
-
This isn't really true. There are things in every sport that make all the sense in the world on paper, but no team will ever really do them largely because of tradition and optics and all that jazz.
-
So Keuchel was better than Price in those, but worse than Sale. Better than Sale at ERA, but worse than Price. Behind both of them in FIP and fWAR and K's and K rate. I still don't get it. Wins, baby. 20 wins.
-
Why was Price worse?
-
Why? Aside from pitcher Wins, the only thing in his favour is IP.

nice

Players get type cast as defensemen very early in their hockey careers, and stereotyping, stubbornness, and hockey tradition largely prevents position changes. But forwards are just better at hockey, generally. Faster, better with the puck, better at scoring and creating offense and driving shot chances - these are the reasons that they get put up front in the first place, way back when they are wee little lads. Progressive teams could benefit by drafting less unskilled defensemen and converting some skilled forwards to the blue line.
-
Do you have an age threshold? I have Carlos Santana available. Also, Neil Walker or Ben Zobrist. Could also trade Alex Gordon or Chris Davis.
-
mmmmm disagree
-
Duly noted. I'll file this opinion under "things said about Marco Estrada"
-
Ugh I want any one of Kluber/Carrasco/Salazar so god damn bad I'll be gutted if the Yankees land one of them.
-
Yeah but Karlsson is basically just a forward that's out of position.
-
Devon Travis to have shoulder surgery and miss start of ST
Laika replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Cheap as f*** option - Kelly Johnson. Can throw him at 2B, 3B, LF, RF, and 1B. Maybe even platoon a bit with Colabello or Travis depending on what happens. -
Gimme Torey Krug if we're playing 3 on 3! Reilly would be good at it though. Hedman, Chara, Ekblad candidates. If it's fan votes you might see Markov.
-
I guess they'll probably be forced to have 3 Dmen on each team. If I'm making an ideal 3 on 3 team it wouldn't have any defensemen, obviously.
-
I love what the NHL is doing with the All Star game this year. Four teams of two goalies and nine skaters will be selected. One for each division. The boring 60 minute game of 5 on 5 pond hockey is replaced by a little tournament of 20 minute 3 on 3 games. The winning team also splits a $1M purse, so there is some incentive. Should be kind of cool.
-
Yeah but that's a pretty specific time from which to judge his value. You've only got so many contending teams looking to add a non-impact OF. His offseason market should be much bigger
