  1. I'm not sure how a BABIP of .306 could be construed as a warning sign for a fast player with a strong LD%. If I had to put money on it, I'd bet that it gets higher, not lower.
  2. 27 years old, injury free, normal BABIP, nothing out of line with minor league stats. Common sense would indicate a similar season if his fielding numbers were accurate, but we won't know that for a couple more years.
  3. Why do you say that?
  4. If Cespedes were offered 7/210 by another team, he sure as hell wouldn't be talking to the Mets.
  5. He could be good value, but I'd like to see Pompey get a shot in the majors and I'd also like to spend any available money on pitching.
  6. He could also be a history buff. I dressed up for War of 1812 reenactments, but I'd never take part in cosplay in any other context.
  7. If we are going to sign either of them, it will be before they hit free agency.
  8. $1.80 per gallon in Sault Ste. Marie Michigan last week.
  9. I would rather resign Bautista for the same AAV and lesser term.
  10. Most backup catchers are near replacement level? That's a shocker. Some fool tried to convince me otherwise just yesterday.
  11. Not all of them, but I'd suggest the word 'irrespective' if you like the sound of the prefix.
  12. This isn't a word.
  13. That's interesting, I wonder why. I was under the impression that they only had 2 choices.
  14. Notice that I used past tense. I know they signed.
  15. Like who? Navarro and Flowers were pretty much the only available catches that are better than Thole. Shapiro is smart enough to know that the solid D is what matters, not 100 at-bats or whatever. Finding some additional depth would be nice, however.
  16. Why would you give him 12 million when he filed for less?
  17. Pretty reasonable. Let's hammer out a long term deal now.
  18. Absolutely right.
  19. I don't think he will be significantly cheaper.
  20. Thole projects for 0.1 WAR in 98 at-bats. His career wOBA is better than 11 teams got from their catchers last year, including the Mets and Cardinals. You have unrealistic expectations of a backup catcher.
  21. Thole will be fine. Could do worse than a LH hitter with good D.
  22. Critically endangered even. They were extirpated from the wild for a short time, actually.
  23. He's 27 years of age and has averaged nearly 7 BsR per 600 PA for his career. He's been even better in the past 2 seasons. The reason to project a precipitous decline eludes me. The number of infield hits he had was right in line with career norms. For you to conclude that his hitting will suffer at the RC after a small 50 game sample where he hit .319 is ill advised in my opinion.
  24. There's an area in Northern Ontario with 3 liquor stores along a ~300 km stretch of highway, but not a single town.
