    Yeah, it always costs a couple legit prospects and more for an albatross contract.... What a retard.

    Looks like his arm action slows down for the curve a bit, but other than that... Very free and easy.

    I think the Astros are going to spend a decent amount in the upcoming years, there's rumours now they have 40-50 million of money to play with in this offseason if they wanted to spend it. Not that anyone worth anything would sign there this year, but in a couple years just like Pittsburgh in the past few years, you might see guys willing to go there

    So Miami gets what 40 million handed to them next year while spending what 20 bucks on his team's payroll? f*** Loria and the system that allows that s*** to happen.
  6. John_Havok
    True, there's Nathan, Benoit, Rodney, Balfour, Mujica, and to a lesser extent for dem savez... Crain and Wilson all on the open market right now.

    I'll get my darts
  8. John_Havok
    Nah, not my thing. This early in the offseason, I could probably throw darts at a dartboard and be just as accurate as putting thought into it.

    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.
  15. John_Havok
    Keeping in mind AA's policy about keeping stuff private and in house. Not hearing rumours about the Jays is not a surprise.
  16. John_Havok
    #1, but make your words move slower and fix the weird sentence structures.
  17. John_Havok
    You need to brush up on anatomy. All those tendons and ligaments in your forearm run through your elbow. It's all connected
  18. John_Havok
    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.
  19. John_Havok
    I heard the Jays were in on McCann at 3/45 with 2 club options for 15 each again, 1m buyout.
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. John_Havok
    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.
  23. 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
  24. 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.
