    It's technically not language against a qualifying offer, it just means that Philly won't ever have the option to offer one for next season based on the mutual/player option. If Selig saw language that specifically said a QO couldn't be offered, he would nix the contract. This is just a creative way around it

    Basically, he's not retiring, so the Red Sox can place him on the restricted list rather than the DL, meaning they don't have to pay him this year. He was on MLB network radio today and he explained that his neck is really f***ing with him right now, so he knew he couldn't start and rather than maybe be effective as a reliever, he went this route to give it a full year to heal

    Minor league deal with invite to spring training. Would be a great guy coming off the bench as a pinch runner, multiple defensive uses. Used correctly, would probably be a positive asset.

    AA: "We're still trying to sign a starter" Three words....f***ing try harder!

    Nice bail out by the refs there for Atlanta... Should be a 3 point game but they hand Atlanta 2 free throws on a brutal call I guess the plus here is that was one of the worst quarters I've seen this year and they're only down by 5. Problem is, the second unit is going to be in the game and they can't score for s*** right now.

    Raps starting 2-15 shooting. JV 0-5 all in the paint, aeveryone else launching 3's or long 2's.... Awful Good boards though

    Won't take long either, home opener weekend series against the Yankees, we'll hear Buck and tabler gobble jeter's knob for three days straight.

    His rationale is horrid, but I'd take Jeter on my team any day of the week and twice on Sunday. I'd just put him at second.
  12. John_Havok
    Agreed. As much he was an overrated defender, he was one of the best with the bat at the position in history. Should be first ballot Hall of Famer

    He's okay defensively but you don't even need to defend him, he's option 8 on offense with only 5 guys on the floor. The problem with Hansborough is usually fouls, he's so aggressive that he inevitably picks up more than his share and can't stay on the floor for long. He was good tonight though.
  14. John_Havok
    I doubt it, I think it's just a matter of him not likely making the rotation out of spring so they don't want to pay a swingman 6 million straight up

    Part 2 of AA's Offseason is saved as a draft if you want to check it over. I will publish later on tonight.
  16. John_Havok
    Also, think of the additional value Miggy would provide if he wasn't the third worst defender at 3b last year, ahead of only Michael Young and David Freese.
  17. John_Havok
    Defense is a thing.
  18. John_Havok
    Slider is filthy

    Money in the game is shifting. Look at Freeman's extension and recent pitcher deals for arms that aren't even front or even mid rotation guys. These guys are enjoying the money flowing into the game from these regional tv deals, and the costs of signing even moderate talent is going up. This scares the hell out of me for the Jays since it's very clear AA is not interested in paying those kinds of prices to try and improve the team and recent history is showing that the talent development system is really suspect. Combine those two factors and the future looks pretty grim. You can't trade for everyone Alex and your farm system isn't good enough to make up for ignoring the free agent market as a way of acquiring talent. Sure, every year there will some guys out there that turn out to be bargains for a variety of reasons, but even then, there's no reason to think AA has eyes on these guys and even if he does... Waiting them all out isn't a viable strategy that will pay off every year.

    As son as they can find a way to tweak the system to benefit the big spending teams like the Yankees. And before people start with the "conspiracy" crap, just think about all the recent changes to the system and the types of teams it has helped.

    Well I'd didn't see this game but ... What can you say about that foul call? It's terrible, it would be like an umpire calling strike 3 on a ball that slipped out of the pitchers hand and was flung into the dugout with the bases loaded in a tie game in the bottom of the 9th with 2 out.
  22. John_Havok
    I'll even take it a step further. A player is paid to make as few outs as possible.
  23. John_Havok
    A valid point. However he's had 4 seasons to improve his eye, or his realization that some of the curveballs aren't strikes...and failed. He also sucks against the fastball, slider, and change. Pitchers know he chases so they don't throw him strikes. His swing rate on balls out of the strike zone has increased every year
  24. John_Havok
    Wow. So much ignorance in one post.
  25. John_Havok
    I know. But seriously, just because it isn't really a bannable thing to post, it's pretty ridiculous to drag it through all these other threads.
