    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

    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.

    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.

    "“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.

    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.
  12. John_Havok
    Good compliment
  13. John_Havok
    Compared to most on here, that's nothing.

    I've got some ideas for next year's contest. Nothing major, just minor tweaks. I'll pm them though

    What would you prefer him to say?

    Teams generally don't trade for volatile #5 starters when they're readily available in free agency for cheap. Unless you're Alex, then you give away assets for them.

    Tha dude who asked about international scouting lobbed a softball.... That question should have been why are the jays letting all their direct competition sign up all the international FA's while they do nothing?
  20. John_Havok
    So rotation next year will be the same as this year likely... Dickey, pit bull, Happ, Stroman and hutch with norris, sanchez, Graveman headlining Buffalo.
  21. John_Havok
    Looks like Happ is coming back.
  22. John_Havok
    No kidding, he'll get 4 at absolute maximum from any team, there no need to even think that him getting 5+ years is a con ern
  23. John_Havok
    I don't disagree, I'm just wondering how close or far apart it really was from a value standpoint
  24. John_Havok
    Very likely yes I agree.
  25. John_Havok
    Devils advocate, the two pitchers who pitched in his hypothetical spot were MCGowan until sent to the pen and Stroman. or Happ. For the 15 million, would he have provided markedly better value than those guys at their salaries? Who's willing to do the legwork and the comparison for my lazy weekend ass?
