    Yeah but even a non-contender wouldnt want a reclamation project at 18 million+
  2. John_Havok
    Yeah, I was pretty surprised at the landslide tbh. Voting for Adley over Rodriguez is completely defensible
  3. John_Havok
    He's alottery ticket because his command is crap. In the words of Crash Davis "he couldnt hit water if he fell out of a f***ing boat."
  4. John_Havok
    That's unfortunate. A Slovakian/Irish accent whilst speaking english would be friggin' awesome.
  5. John_Havok
    Yeah its friggin complicated now, the pick might be anywahere from 1st comp round to the 4th, there could be interntional spending reductions... all depends on the team that signs him, how much the signing is for, whether the team receives revenue sharing or not, or if they spent more than the luxury tax... lots of variables now
  6. John_Havok
    By that logic, there's only 1 front office every year that deserves any kudos. That's just stupid.
  7. John_Havok
    Replacing Haniger.

    For a GM in any league or sport - listening to fans is the quickest way to get fired.

    Fowler from age 25 - 31 was really good, but so ffar Nimmo has been quite a bit better. Still have 2 or maybe 3 good years before he turns into a pumpkin like Fowler did.

    In case anyone is wondering, Swanson's projected Arb 1 salary is 1.4 million.
  11. John_Havok
    The chances of the Jays signing Judge are about the same as ..... 0.
  12. John_Havok
    I wonder how the reaction would be different if the prospect coming back was an outfielder in High A rather than a pitcher.
  13. John_Havok
    Dynamite drop-in sir.
  14. John_Havok
    Hey, at least the first tradeof the offseas isn't boring. Gotta love the passion it's stirring up
  15. John_Havok
    I dont disagree, like I said in another thread earlier, i wasnt thrilled about the return either. Trading a 130 WRC+ OF for a reliever and a "What if ..." doesnt make a whole lot of sense in itself. BUT, the salary relief also has value, as long as they do something smart with it. Like signing Nimmo. Lets say they do sign Nimmo... then you look at the more overall transaction as Teoscar + slightly more money and you get Nimmo, Swanson and lotto ticket. Outfield Defense improves SIGNIFICANTLY, the offense likely doesnt suffer and the pen gets better.
  16. John_Havok
    Nah, not awful. Salary relief to spend on someone else has value beyond a straight OF for reliver + lottery ticket scenario. Swanson also has 3 years of control. You're right though, without some sort of corresponding move - if you look at the trade in a vaccum, it does seem gross.
  17. John_Havok
    Also got a lottery ticket pitcher, and payroll relief to spend on Nimmo. Should the Nimmo signing happen, that kind of even's things out.
  18. John_Havok
    The upside is real for sure. He's a strikeout machine that can't throw strikes consistently.
  19. John_Havok
    Well, one of my offseason predictions has come true already - Teo being traded Nimmo signing and a catcher trade would make it the trifecta.
  20. John_Havok
    If this clears a way to add Nimmo... I love it. Swanson is 1st year Arb eligible in 2023. 3 years of team control left. Here's his Statcast page from last season:
  21. John_Havok
    Teoscar for Swanson + Adam Macko Seems light to me. Swanson is legit but Macko is kind of a lottery ticket. starting Position player for reliever + Lottery ticket just rubs me the wrong way
  22. John_Havok
    9:52am: Seattle is sending right-handed reliever Erik Swanson and pitching prospect Adam Macko to the Blue Jays in the trade, Divish reports.
  23. John_Havok
    9:49am: TSN’s Scott Mitchell tweets that the Blue Jays will be getting bullpen help in return for Hernandez. Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times tweets that known trade candidate Chris Flexen is not a part of this deal. Can't be JUST pen help, there's gotta be more to it than that.
  24. John_Havok
    I always hate seeing the initial tweets without the return being known. Drives me crazy with anticipation! Also, I dont want Flexen at all, dude cant miss bats to save his friggin life.
  25. John_Havok
    Why the f*** would Milwaukee add Jon Singleton.... yes THAT Jon Singleton to their 40 man to protect him from the rule 5 draft?
