    Unfortunately, comparing salaries from the NBA to... virtually any other sport is an apples to oranges scenario. What do they have... 15 man rosters plus 3 more on 2 way deals maximum?
  2. John_Havok
    I don't think its that black and white. I think there should be a cap/floor system but it shouldn't be as tight as the NHLs where you can just see with near certainty who's gonna leave and who might stay 2 years in advance

    His secret was reshaping his delivery to basically copy Halladay.
  4. John_Havok
    Yep, and every team that was targeting him. Great news for Pittsburgh and Minnesota

    Wonder how Varsho's return is impacted by Buffalo's last 2 games being cancelled due to rain.
  6. John_Havok
    Orange birds in a bit of a funk, they just took 2 of 3 from Colorado, but 2 series losses out of the AS break losing 2 of 3 to the Rays and then 3 of 4 against Cleveland. Not exactly rolling
  7. John_Havok
    Mlb.com power rankings now have the Jays at #2 overall, behind the Cubs #1 Detroit dropped all the way to 8

    And if his range isnt great at SS, he'll have the same range issues at 2b. We see what he'll most likely look like at 30ish and onward with Clement. Theyre both the same types of hitters, though Bo has more power, and Clement has better D and speed.
  9. John_Havok
    You do. The raises that Manoah amd Bo turned down were pre-arb, and just generally done to try to reward guys a bit for having a great year. Each raise would have even helped them when arb finally started since arb numbers are bases on your pre-arb salary. I understand the need to protest the crappy arb system though and I think in general it still needs re-working so the people playing the most games and giving the most production are the ones getting paid commesurately. Free agency is great for superstars, but the average players get boned
  10. John_Havok
    Yup. It's gotta be DFA times soon as they land a reliever via trade
  11. John_Havok
    ffs. He has the brain of a dead ferret. Please stop quoting him
  12. John_Havok
    Yeah. Ignore list brother. Anyone so dumb to suggest Varsho be traded for middle relief is so far past stupid its not worth the effort
  13. John_Havok
    3 hits...3 runs. That's baseball some days
  14. John_Havok
    108 on the screws with a .760 hit chance. Tough luck Springer
  15. John_Havok
    Just meant the last inning. Also wasn't a judgement on the results, just saying he looks tired.
  16. John_Havok
    Body language-wise...Scherzer looks tired. Could be weather, could be all the time on the shelf and not getting a full ramp up, could be age. Maybe some combo of all of the above but he definitely looks a bit gassed
  17. John_Havok
    Sure. My thoughts are definitely based on my own interpretations of what he has said publicly in the past. I think these second generation star players just have much more insight into how the business side works, and, an assumption on my part that the father's imparted many examples of players being drastically underpaid, including themselves in some cases... which leads the sons to definitively want to test free agency and squeeze every dollar they can based on how they value themselves. Some projection here on my part for sure, but thats how I see it.

    Bichette has only ever indicated he wants max money, team friendly extensions don't give him that. He was the guy that turned down a pre-arbitration raise because it wasn't high enough. Nothing about Nimmala is any factor on whether Bichette signs or doesnt sign a new deal with the Jays
  19. John_Havok
    Bubic just went to the IL with shoulder problem, rotator cuff strain
  20. John_Havok
    Kirk is on the 7 day concussion IL Damn
  21. John_Havok
    If we look at genetics there is some hope too... Vlad sr never really slowed down with the bat until he was 34...and was still above average. He only had one year with an OPS+ under 100 and it was 98 in his age 36 season. If Jr follows the same track...his contract is only bad for maybe 4-5 years?
  22. John_Havok
    You just don't want to get teabagged...lol
  23. John_Havok
    And still lead the division by 8 games (7 if Cleveland wins game 2 of their doubleheader)...shows how weak the central is yet again.
  24. John_Havok
    K, now Hoffman can sit down i think. Let Green come in and give up 2 or 3
  25. John_Havok
    Hard to say to use Hoffman or not...he was already up and warming, hasn't pitched in 4 days... its not a bad call to have him pitch Well...that was before Springer made it 5 runs lol
