The official 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame thread
John_Havok replied to 43211234's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
40 really isn't a big enough sample size, and the fact that there's a 10 player limit is a big part of the problem, so even if it was duplicated here, it would basically just prove that it's still a broken process in dire need of being fixed. -
2nd half was good but the first half, they were settling for way too many jump shots.
-
Adam Lind sighting at the Raps game tonight, has a terrible beard and looked really chunky
-
No dice for Shaw Direct customers yet - My response from Shaw: "We do have some space open on our 3rd satellite in order to add on new channels. We have been getting a lot of requests about the MLB channel lately, so hopefully we will be adding this channel in the future."
-
Great effort even in the loss tonight, they were right there in the final 30 seconds against Miami.
-
Of course not, my quote didn't specifically say only trading those two, just using 1 or both as part of the deal. They'd obviously have to give up something with value as well.
-
Contracts work a lot different in the NBA, making salaries work and whether contracts are expiring or not often supercedes talent being equal.
-
I get trading Lowry, but that wouldn't be improving the team for a playoff run. I think that's where the Raps are going this year since tank Nation is obviously dead.
-
That's not exactly impressive when all the premier power forwards are in the west. Again, I don't profess to be an expert on the NBA but what other position would they target an upgrade? JV, Lowry and DeRozan aren't going anywhere, that leaves Ross and Amir.
-
I don't follow the NBA close enough to know, is there a team out there they can trade with too make an addition for a playoff run? I'm not thinking these Raps are suddenly elite by any stretch, but really, a Legit PF that could push Amir to the bench whilst trading Landry Fields or Steve Novak or both would seem to be a good idea.
-
Coach of the month for Dwane Casey, cool.
-
On a completely unrelated note, there's a defenseman on Winnipeg named Grant Clitsome. That's just awesome...
-
James Neal...Taylor hall....Patrick Marleau...joe Thornton
-
So who's on expiring contracts... Lowry and Patterson?
-
Jesse Crain was on his way to a huge season last year before he got hurt. 1.9 WAR in 36.2 innings
-
I don't see how they can miss the playoffs with their division being so absolutely awful. I don't think they can out-tank the bottom feeders even if they trade Lowry now.
-
Raptors Tank nation is on life support. 4 straight wins including beating Indiana when the Raps where on the second night of a back to back, the last few games have actually not been agony to watch.
-
Dan Shaughnessy and BBWAA are a joke.
John_Havok replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
It would be really admirable of him to point this out as a negative, if he didn't spend the rest of his article being a prime example of it. -
He did throw all his pitches in all locations, it was just easier for him since he only threw one pitch
-
Will Gibbons be the Manager on Opening Day 2014?
John_Havok replied to oakville69's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
There's nothing on that old board other than dj dumbass stroking his own ego every 5 minutes, it's a cesspool of blissful ignorance. -
Have to be willing/able to throw all pitches in multiple locations or a pitcher would be way too predictable.
-
Will be interesting to see how you come up with numbers on a change up, considering speed is very important, but its importance is tied to how much slower it is than the pitcher's fastball.
-
Yes. In 2007 the BBWAA expanded it's membership to allow "full-time baseball writers who work for websites that are credentialed by MLB for post-season coverage." No bloggers allowed. Read all the fun stuff here: http://bbwaa.com/constitution/

And the way it started out was writers in each baseball city were given votes because way back in the day, writers only really followed their own teams around, national exposure was just nowhere near the level it is today. And you never lose you vote, so the 80 year old dinosaurs that haven't covered baseball in 20 years still get to vote. It's too bad Stephen Brunt gave up his vote years ago knowing the controversy that the steroid era would cause, he'd be a guy I'd really like to hear from about all this
-
I like it too, but when you put something like this out there and then end with "I won’t pretend my ballot is perfect. No ballot is perfect. All voters can do is take their best shot every year. And then try again." .... You're basically saying " I have a vote for the HOF and I can be as retarded as I want to be every year since nobody can really tell me I'm wrong."
