    Hyperbole sure, but the 80 games thing...it would be a pleasant surprise to see him over 80 games of actual healthy ball.
  2. John_Havok
    Obviously Mr and Mrs Walker did....
  3. John_Havok
    Opening day 2019 maybe. I doubt he plays 80 games this season

    He also brought another young arm that failed that same year, then got traded to Colorado in the Tulo deal. Also, I'd rather see Jansen get full time action in AAA or AA than be nothing but a backup playing once a week. If they bring him north as a backup, that's essentially giving up on him being a full time player.

    Can't see why player agents are whining about contracts when guys like Hosmer pull down these types if deals.
  6. John_Havok
    Both top guys have the same average ranking #1 on 2/3rds of the lists they appear on and #2 on the others
  7. John_Havok
    Okay, but on what are you basing your opinion? Articles you've read about Tulo specifically stating he likes being seen as the go to player on his team and if he's not that guy he feels it disrupts his ability to play? If so, please link them. Otherwise it's just pure speculation with no basis in reality Which, btw if theres even a shrednof truth to your statement of opinion, why would he have waived his no trade clause and accepted a trade to Toronto when he did, knowing full well Jose and Edwin and Martin and Donaldson were already here and he wouldn't be seen as the man?

    How do you know he doesn't like being second fiddle? Which, btw he still is behind JD

    You know James is gone at the end of the year too, so I think this is just Cleveland's way of saying they are tired of his 1 year commitments and trying to piece a team around him 1 year at a time.

    Raptors valued at 1.4 billion per Forbes. 12th highest in the league Every team in NBA is worth at least 1 billion. NBA is looking up

    Haven't watched at all but being up 23 at the end of 3 is a pretty big deal. Is it just the Raps playing that well or is Boston just playing that bad? Bit of both?

    With the rhetoric being tossed around right now, is there anyway we don't see a work stoppage in 2021 for MLB? Hell, a strike seems to be a growing possibility at this point even sooner http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/baseball-agent-rising-tide-among-players-radical-change/ And as usual since it's a sportsnet post, the comments section is full of retardation

    Weighted baseball training causes injuries and is dangerous for young arms according to this article and studies referenced. Also makes very clear that further study is needed https://www.topvelocity.net/weighted-baseball-training-causes-serious-injury/

    I doubt Lackey signs a minor league deal at this point in his career. He's 39. If he doesn't get a major league deal he'd probably just hang 'em up.
  15. John_Havok
    Same, he will want a lengthier deal but just won't get it. I doubt he gets more than 2 years, with maybe an option from the team he eventually signs with.

    Can't wait to see the first Barton Colon commercials for the local BBQ shack.
  17. John_Havok
    Yeah, of all remaining guys I think Cobb has the best shot at being more than just an innings eater. Ricky Nolasco would be interesting just because he's always been such a tease. Pretty good stuff but when he gets hit, he gets hit hard.
  18. John_Havok
    I think they will make the decision based on how they show in minor league camp. I believe this FO will let the players dictate where they play. if they blow everyone away in camp I don't think they'll hold them back in Dunedin again. If there's something specific they want them to work on before going to AA, they'll start in Dunedin.
  19. John_Havok
    Yet some are worth 50 million easy, but will never get that either. I honestly think it's not so much about the dollars per year that bothers owners, it's the stupid lengths of deals that players want which largely ends up being dead money on a terribly performing player for 4-5 years, just to get the last 2 or 3 good years. BtW, Hosmer put up 4 WAR last year and is projected near 3 next year, so him wanting 25 million isn't actually crazy, it's pretty in line with his projected performance next season. It's the 7 seasons of declining performance after that owners done want to gamble with.

    Awe gimme a break. ... I found a gray hair today too. It's all downhill from here guess
  21. John_Havok
    Also fom fangraphs today and article on Patrick Murphy... Exactly.... who? https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/blue-jays-prospect-patrick-murphy-curveballs-his-injury-demons/
  22. John_Havok
    Show Hey O’Tawny: Outside of the big 3 of Guerrero, Bichette, and Alford, what other Blue Jays prospects do you recommend keeping an eye on? Kiley McDaniel: Nate Pearson! CW: Where do you stand on Danny Jansen? His 2017 was ridiculous in every way. Kiley McDaniel: We really like Danny Jansen! Like more than you’re expecting us to like him Nothing really substantive from that chat today but he did mention the top 100 from Fangraphs would drop on Monday, maybe from his comment on Jansen he could crack the list.
  23. John_Havok
    Redundant statement.
  24. John_Havok
    I think they're suddenly concerned because when Miami and Pittsburgh and others are seemingly always in sell mode, avoid big contracts and still get heaps of revenue sharing, without reinvesting it into the team and paying players, it defeats the entire point of revenue sharing. The intent of that whole system was to narrow the gap between the super rich teams in huge markets with endless cash flows, and the smaller markets with finite resources and to allow those small market teams to retain their star players. Now they're just selling off their big stars anyways, while pocketing the revenue sharing.

    Sure there is but adding the DH to the NL is still a few years away
