    Right in the tweet... "Arencibia, who has drawn interest from other teams in trade talks..." Make no mistake, catchers with 30 hr potential will always get picked up by teams that want to be the one to figure out whatever his problem is. Same with pitchers who throw 95 with little command.

    Lind 58 wRC career vs LHP, loney 83 Lind 125 wRC career vs RHP, loney 113 It's really not that big a difference overall, but clearly both of them are no better than a platoon bat that should only face RHP, and if that's the case where you're going to get a lefty masher platoon partner, you might as well stay with the guy who hits RHP better.

    I skimmed through all the threads and didn't see it, maybe I didn't skim closely enough

    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/twins-joe-mauer-moving-catcher-171420787--mlb.html Doctor's said that was best for him, so they are doing it.

    Chris Young would fit that description, plus he can play all the OF positions and will be relatively cheap-ish.

    Keeping in mind AA's policy about keeping stuff private and in house. Not hearing rumours about the Jays is not a surprise.

    #1, but make your words move slower and fix the weird sentence structures.

    You need to brush up on anatomy. All those tendons and ligaments in your forearm run through your elbow. It's all connected

    TO be fair, if he'd chosen football, he'd probably be as roided up as they all are and would fit in just fine. Guys like Lawrie could probably have chosen any sport they wanted and played at a high level.

    I heard the Jays were in on McCann at 3/45 with 2 club options for 15 each again, 1m buyout.
  12. John_Havok
    Yeah I don't even think Selig can try and spin the QO system into anything resembling a competitive balance system. It's just a way to try and keep salaries lower
  13. John_Havok
    The point isn't so much that they br ought back DeRosa, but that they did it in like the first day of the offseason, when the kind of player he is is readily available for next to nothing all through the offseason, and if any effort was put in, they could likely find someone to proved far more value at similar cost. 0.1 WAR bench players shouldn't be your first offseason move.

    The first example of good luck in the offseason, Napoli's hip problem. Got the same performance but saved the Sox a ton of money.
  15. John_Havok
    Don't indulge the troll. There's examples nearly every year of teams who don't sign high school picks that turn down big bonuses that get picked again 2 years later. Failure to sign Beede isn't an indicator of anything other than AA trying to go big with high school talent
  16. John_Havok
    Yeah, if the sox hang on here and go back to Boston up 3-2, there's really no way to would f*** it up. The horseshoes are firmly lodged. The Cards have to win tonight to have a chance

    The last part of it though, the umpire has to use his discretion and judge whether or not the runner would have advanced safely if the play had gone on without obstruction. For example, if that play had happened the exact same way but the throw home beat the runner by 20 feet, the umpire could have called him out, even with obstruction. IN this case, since it was a semi-close play at home, the home plate ump ruled that the runner would have scored if he had not been obstructed.

    Chris Davis... negative fielder by any metrics... and eyes, but 50 HR = Gold glove nomintation.. why do they make a mockery of their award nominations?

    I used to date a girl named April, that was never a problem

    An interesting perspective on Farrell's personality from TO to Boston. http://www.thestar.com/sports/bluejays/2013/10/22/why_red_sox_manager_john_farrell_isnt_the_dour_sod_he_was_with_the_blue_jays_kelly.html

    Point more so being that Manager of the Year is really a pointless award since the manager makes very little difference in the grand scheme of how well a team plays. It really is just a "holy s*** your team did way better than anyone thought so all credit to you" award. Then the same team wins more games the next year with a very similar roster, but the manager gets no award, because it wasn't a surprise anymore.
  22. John_Havok
    Meh, it's like congratulating Jeter for winning Gold Gloves. It's so blatantly stupid it's barely worth mentioning.
  23. John_Havok
    Congrats to Farrell for being the "AL Manager of the team who did way better than anyone thought they would since they got very break to roll their way this year" award. Maddon should win this every year in the AL, it's too bad now he's expected to do well with crap players so it's not a surprise, hence, no managerial award.
  24. John_Havok
    There's no "might" about it. It would be far worse.
  25. John_Havok
    Would easily be the worst contract ever handed out. There is absolutely no way any pitcher should be offered a contract length in double digits ever, let alone one that pays out 300 million. Any pitcher is one arm injury away from being toast.
