    And they have decent depth to cover for a few injuries.
  2. John_Havok
    No kidding. Too many playes getting 1 or 2 PA at most until like the last week of ST. Keep it to the reg. season.
  3. John_Havok
    Be nice.

    Yeah that would be odd, but whenever stuff like this comes out I like to get into the projections and see exactly why they're projected so much lower. Clearly not having ellsbury, salty and drew will take it's toll on projections, because as much as the baseball world thinks Bogaerts is ready, replacing the 3.4 of drew will probably not happen. Ditto Bradley from ellsbury, that's an easy 4 WAR drop on it's own probably, if not more. Add in regression of a few WAR total from lackey and maybe Ortiz, Victorino and Koji... That's pretty significant

    They're just projections, good for talking points and ask g more questions. It's not crazy to think Boston Won't win 97 games again when you consider everything that went right for them last year. -16 is a stretch though.
  6. John_Havok
    I expect 1 - 1.5 WAR so my expectations are pretty mild.

    Drabek and Hutch have matching facial hair going too. I guess they're really close friends now after rehabbing together for the past year

    I dunno. I do know the Raptors have out scored their opponents in the second half for 14 straight games. That's not bad

    This the first thing you've ever said that I agree with. Love the snark too. Grade A
  10. John_Havok
    Exactly. I'm sure all these arguments were put forth back when batting helmets came out and the warning track was mandated. We take those safety measures as just part of the game because we grew up not knowing any different. It's just because this change is happening in the midst of our fandom that it's a big deal for some. I like the change, but really, if you're going to do a rule change as a test, why not try it in the minors first and see how it goes so you can adjust any obvious flaws before you put it in the majors?

    Steib, Alomar, Halladay, Fernandez
  12. John_Havok
    I think 160-165 or 170 tops would be the target, if they want him to be able to possibly go 200 in 2015.

    He ran around the court like a spaz today, want really sure what he was doing most of the time but he was only in a few minutes
  14. John_Havok
    If he hasn't learned that kind of basic stuff by now after all those years in the minors, expecting him to suddenly pick it at the major league level is pretty silly.

    ROFL, Magic announcers have checked out of this game, they've spent the last 2 minutes talking about the free pizza for the Raps getting 100 points and probably the win and how the bars were open early to serve booze for the hockey game, and general conversation about sweet potato fries and coleslaw.
  16. John_Havok
    It's his job to talk up the players and make people believe there's hope for the bat. I'm sure the conversation inside the office is a lot different than then one that gets told to the media.

    both De Colo and Patterson wearing masks... Orlanda announcer figure Ujiri made out like a bandit in the De Colo deal.

    Those deep three's are killer. I'm watching the Orlando stream online and they're just polishing Lowry's knob right now after he took over the third quarter.

    Yep, wish he would do it more. He's just a bit too casual still.
  20. John_Havok
    It's worse.
  21. John_Havok
    True, but Trout would break the system, much like Kimbrel would have if he had gone through it.
  22. 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.
  23. John_Havok
    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.
  24. John_Havok
    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.
  25. John_Havok
    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.
