    True, but Trout would break the system, much like Kimbrel would have if he had gone through it.
  2. John_Havok
    Freeman got 8/135. Trout is worth double that easy without blinking. The thing with Trout though, is really how much more is he going to improve? He's already playing at the highest level out of everyone so chances are he's already peaked. It's how long his peak lasts that will be the question.

    Yup. It's an interesting shift lately from some FO's being willing to pay market value for players in their prime, rather than say signing them to team friendly deals and wind up overpaying for older veterans who no longer provide positive value on their deals. THe qualifying offer in a few years is going to 20 million at this rate.

    This is all Atlanta's fault. Signing their core players to market value deals rather than the team friendly ones that used to happen for guys still under team control. I bet the players union is loving Wren right now.

    Interesting guesstimate. I think Trout would smash 13 million in his first arbitration contract if he really wanted to go that route. What argument would the Angels have to pay him less? He could submit a number of 20 million and if the Angels came in at 13, he'd only have to prove he was worth more than 16.5, and then point to all the players he's better than who are making more than 16.5. Would be the easiest case for an arbitrator.

    Wow. that would be a pretty big discount for the Angels.

    Yep. even going position by position... Rotation is about the same. Pen - Toronto Catcher - Baltimore 1b - I prefer Edwin personally because I think Davis' 30% K rate will ultimately catch up with him. CAll it a tie 2b - both suck SS - Edge Toronto 3b - edge Orioles RF - Toronto CF - Very close.. Jones better pop, doesn't walk as much but doesn't K as much either, Rasmus better D. Call it a tie LF - A healthy Cabrera would give this to Toronto DH - Lind vs Criz... tie Really, anyone who's down on the Jays should be just as down on the Orioles. There's just as many question marks for them and they have just as big a checklist of things that need to go right in order to contend. Health and who ends up with the most checks on their list of things to go right will finish better.

    Yup, and you know what happens? Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get f***ed by dicks.
  9. John_Havok
    What's really sad is that a great GM would be a hybrid between the two. AA's ability to build a farm coupled with Ricciardi's bigger belief in sabermetric analysis and willingness to actually pay free agents to play in Toronto... one can't keep his mouth shut and the other won't say s*** if his mouth was full of it... a happy medium would be nice.

    He should be putting Hendriks through too, there's no reason to have so many inconsequential arms on your 40 man roster.

    3 possession game with 4 seconds left and Cleveland coach calls a timeout? That's just unnecessary waste of time

    Nice to see Cleveland still fighting it out with no chance to win.

    Do you have to wait to ban eightyfivetista or can you just do it now before he posts?

    Yup, just raped Salmons off the dribble and drew a foul. Sure he missed the shot but he's gonna do it every time down the floor until Ross is back in. And Ross is back in...good job Casey.

    I've reported already as well, whichever mod logs on first will turf his sorry ass

    Cleveland coach being smart here, putting Irving back in while Ross in on the bench.

    Everything Hawk says is ridiculous. Helen Keller would call play-by-play better

    It's those kinds of fouls from Hansborough that drive me crazy, open floor running, there's just no need to get tangled like that

    I do actually but only with clowns and mimes.

    He's been DFA'd three times already this offseason, first by Minnesota, claimed by the cubs, the DFA'd and picked up by the O's, the DFA'd again and picked up by Toronto. Just wondering why AA didn't put in a claim for him when he was picked up by the Orioles since Toronto would have been lower in the claim chain. Why grab him now if you didn't want him then?
  23. John_Havok
    Well aren't you the life of the bar mitzvah.
  24. John_Havok
    I'd invent a time machine, go back in time and prevent your conception. f***ing trolls...

    Read a f***ing story. It's being reported EVERYWHERE that Philly turned in the player as well as another one of their unsigned picks. STFU with your constant contrary ******** http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/report-phillies-turned-unsigned-draft-pick-ben-wetzler-060611771--mlb.html
