    I see what you did there.
  2. Grant77
    Try and let me know. Maybe you'll find some taste in music while it's on and we won't have to read your stupid lyrics.
  3. Grant77
    Two run bomb off of Pomeranz to put the Tigers up 2-1 on Boston.
  4. Grant77
    Jose Iglesias, you are truly a beaut.
  5. Grant77
    Hope MVP has been taking notes, Rea is getting predictable.

    I'm surprised to learn that Devlin has experience calling minor league games. He can't read a ball off of the bat to save his life. I can tell better from watching TV.
  7. Grant77
    Moreso than Dickey.
  8. Grant77
    Tough play. Probably should have been Sanchez at 1B.
  9. Grant77
    Kemp .279 OBP and 0.3 WAR lol

    I just fail to understand why they would hold back Barnes in favour of mediocre pitchers when we're trying to win. If they thought he could put up the ratios that steamer predicts, he certainly wouldn't be in AAA (excepting off field issues). That being said, I do agree with your second paragraph. I'm just not too upset that they haven't done it yet.
  11. Grant77
    I'm assuming that the Rays will want prospects and fair market value. They know a good pitcher when they see one.
  12. Grant77
    The numbers for Barnes are stellar, but Shapiro obviously sees something to suggest that he won't succeed at the major league level. Every team has a guy or two like this and they are rarely any good. RJ Swindle comes to mind. In the absence of a more detailed scouting report and experience watching Barnes, I'll just trust that they know that they are doing
  13. Grant77
    They would want at least two of SRF, Pompey, Alford, Harris, Tellez, Greene, Urena, and Vlad Jr. It's hard to speculate much further than that.
  14. Grant77
    If you say so. If you have the guts to challenge my original statement then the deal remains on the table. All this tells me is that you think there's a good chance that Beltran is dealt for a low end top 100 prospect, exactly what I said.
  15. Grant77
    Teheran, Gray, Odorizzi, Smyly, Santana, perhaps Eovaldi and Moore.
  16. Grant77
    Alford isn't a top 50 prospect on any updated list. He's hitting like Ryan Goins in a slump for the year.
  17. Grant77
    Deal?
  18. Grant77
    Considering Alford was just ranked 86th, that should be the benchmark. I'll agree to the same terms, not a sig of your choosing. If the Yankees include other pieces OR the other team does, the deal is off. If the other guy is junk I'll be reasonable and still give you a win. Could go either way if it happens, I'm not super confident. Deal?
  19. Grant77
    A win is a win regardless of what position it comes from. A worse hitting 2B isn't inherently more valuable than a better hitting DH. Use what old school narratives you wish, but I'll stick with WAR. Also, Alford's stock has obviously taken a hit this year in the eyes of scouts. Whether that is justified or not, I'll leave for another argument. I was simply proving my point using a respected publication.
  20. Grant77
    Well Beltran has the same WAR right now that Zobrist had for all of 2015, not to mention a hall of fame track record and a reputation as a postseason performer. Manaea was ranked 84 by BA and they also got another real prospect. You can argue Alford's value is underestimated by the consensus rankings, but my statement is decisively true. There are more examples as well.
  21. Grant77
    I'm not missing your point. I'm disagreeing with your statement based on the fact that comparable rental hitters got better prospects than Alford at last year's deadline. Maybe no teams will give up a top 100 prospect for Beltran this year, but you can't deny that the same kind of trade happens every year so the possibility exists.
  22. Grant77
    Two prospects can be better than Alford. I also think the Rangers would seriously consider giving Brinson in the right situation.
  23. Grant77
    Fangraphs gives that a 1.13% chance of happening. I'd rather focus on making the playoffs first.
  24. Grant77
    You don't think the Indians or Rangers would offer something similar? Beltran would be a huge bat in any lineup.
  25. Grant77
    The 4th prospect is just a throw in, outfielder Rashad Crawford.
