I know you don't live in SA. Just was saying it's like that there too
-
Yeah it's shameful. There's so many places like that in SA too like Brazil and such that are SO rich in natural resources and 90% of people get f***ed
-
I don't know about Andruw Jones' UZR fueled lines are HOF deserving.. I mean .254 lifetime hitter. 111 wRC+.. some HR totals compiled in juice era.. I wouldn't vote him in
-
Oh. K. I just saw this
-
Yeah. At tourist places. But $100 US equals something like $4500 Dominican pesos. You can't but food locally for a month with that..at grocery places?
-
All joking aside. Could you eat like king for a month with $100US? Buying groceries and such I mean
-
Rich is pretty subjective. I bet if you sent Ang $100 he could prob get 10 good looking hookers down there..or eat like king for month+
-
I agree. Just saying what it is.
-
If I was the business owner of a MLB baseball team.. I would never put a god awful team on the field like HOU has in name of rebuild. Not like HOU is small city in nowhereville. You'd think local tv right would be pretty lucrative.
-
Listen.. PED guys don't get in hall. Not saying I agree but that's the case. Edgar had like 60hr entering his age 32 season.. I mean..come on..that time and everything..so obviously he was test and hgh fueled
-
Werent there whispers of Edgar and PEDs.. Of course Papi has those same whispers but is still good in the media's eyes because of his good personality with them
-
This ties into my yesterday rant but seriously..I think if all the books in Las Vegas decided they would hire some of best math minds around the world to look at baseball so they can generate projections and establish O/U for things like WAR..I bet you would see a far superior machine as the comp process would be much more precise based on the individuals. It would not be lazy system that doesnt differentiate apples from oranges.

Choo inks 7 year deal with Rangers - Worth $130m

They could also alternatively just turn the forum into some kind of version of "pattycake" and call it a day -
Youre prob right. Was such a brutal handling though. All AA had to say was Esco was a really great guy in the clubhouse/this wasnt like him and it was isolated incident. But they just fried him
-
Imagine if we locked up Lawrie after 2011 for like 8 years and big money..A LOT of posters were on board with that. Good posters I mean
-
Hopefully Jays learned that too
-
Yeah..tough giving him full credit on that just because he was prepared to dump that valuable asset for peanuts just because he wanted good PR for being PC. Big fag move. He totally overreacted and tossed Esco under bus damaging his value
-
I just realized how bad I am typing on phone compared to comp
-
I mean AA does have some good extensions like Joey and Edwin. I didn't didn't even opinion good or bad when those were announced. So he gets credit on those but shouldn't in case of Lind or Romero because "it seem fair at the time"
-
And there's that I guess..lol..thanks
-
I don't get paid hundreds of thousands or millions like coaches and managers do to evaluate that. They should be accountable..but not saying anyone can be perfect.
-
I don't agree. Money is important thing..but a team should be held accountable, good or bad, for who they extend. Take Lind or example.. Team friendly deal but there should have been some red flags with his work ethic and holes in his swing (pitch recognition) a "good move" wouldve been saying not sure if this is out guy and move hi at peak value. He proceeded to put up 1 WAR or less combined over next 3 years think and was someone team hoped up year in and year out during that time. Was always fail. Was fail in 2013 until Jays were out of it essentially
-
WAR now > WAR later. When you move a guy like that you get near ready blue chip prospects coming back. Not lottery tickets like TDA who was toss in. AA took Drabek and Wallace (via MT) and they both flopped badly and he did what he could to salvage it but it's been 4 years
-
How is Halladay "good" for instance.. Was good to trade literally best SP in mlb and have s*** to show for it 4 years later except "helping" land a broken down SP?
-
I thought a good portion of the highlighted items showed a clear bias. Author seems pro-AA
