Major sin by a writer.... Using words like "vicissitudes" in an article. It's like day 1 in Journalism school, you don't use words that 90% of your target audience don't know the meaning of. all it proves is how arrogant the writer is.

This just in, Kevin Barker on Tim and Sid, when speaking about the chances of Xander Bogaerts being traded says he's a good young, player, lots up upside at short stop, but he's a lot like Ryan Goins in then uncertainty of the bat. Yip, you heard it from Barker. Bogaerts is comparable to Ryan Goins. How is this guy employed?

Hi Kevin Durant. reasons why this will happen? 1. He grew up liking the Raptors. 2. Masai Ujiri 3. Want to go down in history? Be the centrepiece of the first Canadian NBA team to win a championship. Play to that ego. 4-10. MASAI f***ING UJIRI

And good god the west is stacked. 8th place team is 10-6 and every top 8 team is on a winning streak

Loving watching this team right now though. Seems that no matter what's going on in the game, they just shrug it off and know they have control over the situation. In seasons past, you could see it on the court that when something went wrong, they were beat. Now, no big deal, we got this.

I'm as on board with the Raps as anyone, but before I go over the deep end, I really want to see how they play against Dallas. Yes they beat Memphis, but their whole team was sick and had no depth that night, so while they still won a game thye should have one, I don't quite have the Raptors at the top of the heap yet. Play a good game against Dallas, Portalnd, Houston, Golden State.... and I'll be fully drinking the Kool-Aid

Will we ever see a 300 K season again from a starter?
John_Havok replied to jaysblue's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
A fair point but we'd also need to see starting pitchers throw more innings each year. That's the part I don't see happening with any consistency anytime soon. -
Red Sox close to signing Lester, 120-140
John_Havok replied to HERPDERP's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The Martin signing went enough on its own before any of the Boston signings. If all the Jays do is sign Martin on this offseason, it will be a failure. -

Possible but highly highly unlikely -
Nothing wrong with either of them in LF. Either of them there would probably be 25+ runs saved over the butchery of Melky.
-
Not sure what the price tag would be but it's definitely worth looking into.
-
If that's the case then yes, definitely. That was a steal of a trade and the worst part is the AZ front office doesn't even realize it.
-
Nope. Rasmus is gone, and they won't be bringing him back. A k rate north of 30% works if you're hitting 35 homers, not 15. Maybe last year wasn't the best example of his true talent, but the same could be said for his great 2013 also. He's just too volatile a player to be relied upon.

If you the Friedman gives a rats ass about ERA....you haven't been paying attention. He cares about stuff that matters

Dunno what Lou had for breakfast this morning, but holy hell he's en fuego
-
Wow, first a goaltend, then two chintzy foul calls right away. Lowry with 2 fouls early .... This isn't going well
-
Wish I was watching it.... Had our staff holiday party tonight and was bored out of my mind instead
-
Just got home and saw the score. Was it as big a beatdown as the score indicated?
-
Well he's certainly not going to be in the 1 year, 8 million range, that's for sure but a lot of it depends on his medicals.
-
Why not Masterson on a short term cheap deal? Bigtime groundbller, won't break the bank and has a legit chance to be a bounce-back candidate providing very good value. The fact that he'll likely be looking for a short term deal to re-establish his value is a major plus.

Adam Lind traded to Brewers for RHP Marco Estrada
John_Havok replied to reedjohnsonfan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I logged in from my vacation to check on things and I see that pile of crap trade. f*** this, I'm going back to the beach and drown myself in rum. -
Interesting read: Q&A with Cardinals Scouting Director
John_Havok replied to GeorgiaPeach's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
"“Just trying to find athletes, or up-the-middle guys… I’m asked that a lot but we don’t really look at it that way. It might be limiting for us if we stick to a rigid strategy that is not data-driven. What we’re trying to do with our draft is optimize it. We want to figure out how it’s going to save us the most money down the road and be the most productive for us. The profile of a player that is going to save us money down the road is based on quite a bit of analysis…and it is rarely obvious. It is also a lot easier said than done, because you still have to execute it and hit on certain players. I should add that our strategy being based on saving money in the future doesn’t mean we shy away from the high-upside guys. After all, if they pan out, they would save us the most money of all.” No pigeon holing based on athletes or up-the-middle guys.... data driven.... AA should be taking notes. -
Jose Bautista owning TSN's Steve Simmons on Twitter
John_Havok replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I think people are morons. All we hear is how players are boring, never say anything important, just recycle cliche after cliche... Then when a player actually gives an opinion that isn't tired and played out, people jump down his throat and say he should watch what he says. f***ing idiots. -
Good compliment
-
Compared to most on here, that's nothing.
