If the Jays did blow it up - what could we get and how...
John_Havok replied to Key22's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I don't think a full on blow up is needed. With a bit of thought and less reactionary ******** from the FO(prefrrably an entirely new FO), this roster could be retooled pretty efficiently, without having to watch a team like Houston for 4 years. -
Would you pick up Brandon Morrow's 2015 option?
John_Havok replied to jays4life19's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yes, those types of incentives are allowed, as are incentives based on innings pitched, games started... Etc, just not actual performance stats like strikeouts, ERA, and stuff like that. -
http://www.rantsports.com/mlb/2014/02/10/one-of-the-pittsburgh-pirates-2008-free-agent-signings-is-about-to-pay-off/ There ya go, was a shoulder problem. I guess he could still pitch this year and next if he wasn't released already. His MiLB.com page still shows him as active. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=573653

Yes, not sure what injury though.
-
Singh was still in Pirates camp in this year's spring training though, his dream just ended. The other guy though was turfed in 2010. Interesting though that the contest they participated in in India was called Million Dollar Arm, but the prize was only 100k. Their signing bonuses for Pittsburgh only totalled 8k between them...
-
Hey that new baseball movie Million Dollar Arm about finding pitchers from India, wasn't it the Pirates that did that and brought over 2 kids?
-
Well in reality, it's almost impossible to have a true tie, the probability is really low. But to truly be able to differentiate what happens first in those situations, you'd have yo be able to go down to milliseconds.
-
No... And that really sucks to say
-
Is there an award to give a player after they're the comeback player of the year and the totally go to s*** again the next?
-
I just re-read the rule, a tie would go to the runner as the rule states and the runner or 1b must be tagged by the fielder before the runner hits first base. So, if they both there at the same time, the runner cannot be out.
-
Even if it was a tie, the runner should be out. The rule says the runner has to beat the ball to first. Technically, a tie goes to the defense.
-
Hate that myth of the tie going to the runner... It's not true
-
Surprised Rivera didn't send Encarnacion there to be thrown out by 20 feet. Nice rip by Lawrie
-
What wat? That's the rule
-
It's something where the intent is good, but the execution and implementation went wrong....
-
By the letter of the rule, it was legal. Catcher had to move to where he was to catch the ball, and prior to catching the ball, the runner did have a path to the plate (his foot was sort of in the path, but ...). As soon as Sanchez had possession of the ball he can move Into the base runners path if he chooses(which he did). At that point the runner is within his rights to run him over if he wants to. If Sanchez had decided to stay where he was when he caught the ball, the runner would have to avoid contact and slide in to home or just run across.

And it's a Tuesday.
-
Yup, and screw these new small stadiums. Should go back to the days where the fences were 500 feet away.
-
I don't. It's like watching retards try to hump a doorknob
-
Rivera has been absolutely awful with sending runners this year.
-
They've got nothing in the minors for Of prospects, they may as well take a flyer on a guy who had even minor success over a tiny time frame in mlb already.
-
No risk for a team claiming him, he either continues to suck and they do the same thing the jays did, or they might get a few weeks of use out of him while a guy is in the DL.
-
Pretty sure we just let him have him, something would have been announced by now if there was anything coming back
