    Exactly. If we're going to roll into the season with Dickey, Morrow, McGowan, Jeffress and Happ which was suggested earlier, who cares what our depth is?
  2. L54
    Who gives a s*** if you have the best depth in the league if there is nothing on top? Pretty pointless if you ask me.
  3. L54
    Just because you can list a whole bunch of names, doesn't quantify them as the best depth in the league. Depth of guys who are all #4-5 and swingman type pitchers really isn't that big of a deal.

    My vote went to Sanchez. I would keep Stroman, though.
  5. L54
    So the Red Sox are worse because they lost Ellsbury, and the Yankees aren't any better because they added Ellsbury, because they're banking on continued performance? Right.

    Merry Christmas? From, AA

    Saunders is interesting, Montero is JPA with a bat. Ackley/Franklin would be real nice. I guess if you're dumb enough to overbid by 70 million for Cano you just might overpay for saves. Creates a logjam in the OF, but 2015 looks bleak anyhow. PLUS HE'S CANADIAN! MARKETABILITY!

    I really don't see the need to. If AA can sign Garza, it is definitely better than trading Sanchez/Stroman. Hutch the first call when someone inevitably goes down. Dickey Garza MB Morrow Happ/Esmil/Nolin Stroman addition at AS break So much depends on Morrow staying healthy and making 25+ starts. If you could substitute the 5 spot with Hutch, and have Happ/Esmil/Nolin/Stroman as depth, with Sanchez still on the farm, it has the potential to keep us in games. I know thats not what people want to hear, but it's realistic. Absolutely need to add one more starter, whether its Garza or Tanaka (ya right).

    Sorry Ang, Jack Z is dumb but I doubt he's that dumb.

    Weight lifting doesn't stunt growth. That's a myth spewed by uninformed individuals. Although at a young age, kids should focus on resistance training and less on trying to become "big". Technique first, and then weight. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Very encouraging.
  12. L54
    That one worked out well!
  13. L54
    Not the MLB per se, but the Jays I was referring to. If Darvish is worth 110, I'm assuming we will see roughly the same for Tanaka (because of hype, and Darvish's success). 5/75?
  14. L54
    I'm assuming lower posting fee ups the total money for the player
  15. L54
    Bidding, and being serious about a contract will be two different things. What's he worth? 5/70?
  16. L54
    That's easy to do when you're one of the best franchises in the MLB. I'm sure it wouldn't have been that easy for AA to lure Ellis here. I'm not disagreeing he should've been a target, but this isn't takeout where you just call and order what you want and pick it up.
  17. L54
    Sadly, probably true. FFS if he can't add one #2 at least, there is virtually no point in trying to compete. Blow it up. I have confidence in a guy like Hutch, but who knows how many innings he can realistically throw. Until I see Drabek throw strikes at the ML level I see no reason to believe he can start, Morrow is glass and Happ is Happ. Watch our pen get taxed this year, and all of our ace relievers get injured because of the workload.
  18. L54
    Does this give the Jays a better chance? It seemed evident AA would never put an aggressive posting bid in, but now that it's only 20 million to negotiate, he should be inclined to at least bid that and give himself a chance. Teams that are close to the luxury tax may shy away, since I'm assuming a larger AAV will be given to players. Probably just all wishful thinking on my part.
  19. L54
    Agreed. I know people who travelled 5 hours to go to Saskatoon or Winnipeg last year just for this.
  20. L54
    So since things didn't workout as he thought, AA should sit on his hands and roll out another subpar team? Right.
  21. L54
    Wouldn't it be a lot easier for teams to make adjustments when they see a knuckleballer twice in the same series? Not that it would happen every series, but every third or fourth one it would (I just took a final, don't give a s*** about figuring out the math). Remember last year, when the biggest problem this time was figuring out what order our rotation was going to be? Knuckleballer, POWER, soft, POWER, whoever. Oh the good ol days.
  22. L54
    Ellis please. Seems to be the most realistic option. What could AA possibly be waiting for? If our biggest acquisition this winter is Navarro this team will be a f***ing disaster.
  23. L54
    Best part of this video is the reporter says spring training is a few weeks away. Then the reporter asks Rajai when his juices started flowing for the upcoming season. Rajai replies with the juices started flowing a couple days ago, when he picked up a bat. Said he remembers how to hold it. Uh, shouldn't you have been hitting most of the offseason, not two weeks before ST? Love the guy, hope he does well in DET.
  24. L54
    This rumor is so much derp. If AA actually did this deal, I'd seriously have trouble watching this team unless they signed Choo or until he was fired.
  25. L54
    No, I knew someone would misinterpret that.
