  1. James Loney 2015 edit: nvm, I thought he was good at defense, fangraphs shows him as s*** o.o
  2. I'm a bit hesitant on Votto though - the guy has knee problems and the turf will not help him one bit. If we can work out on getting Kemp for say, 10-15 m per year, I wouldn't mind giving up guys like Osuna +
  3. Fangraphs article on Donaldson's defense http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-thing-about-josh-donaldsons-defense/ He gets nearly all his defensive value from his range. His throwing can be problematic. Worse than E5 problematic.
  4. Matt Kemp 2015 confirmed, got it.
  5. Still pissed off we didn't get Ryan Franklin last year, but I wouldn't mind getting Ackley and putting him @ 2nd. I hear his defense is above adequate?
  6. Hitting analysis case study on Donaldson vs Bautista, and how Donaldson can improve (he can get some good tips from Bautista) http://hittingperformancelab.com/josh-donaldson/
  7. What is Melky expected to sign for anyway? Kemp has 5 years left at $109, or a bit over $20m a year. His defense is atrocious, sure, but the other option (Melky) is average at best and his bat is nowhere near Kemp's. And LF isn't entirely a position that requires a whole lot of defense to begin with, and we can just have Pompey shade a bit to LF when righties come up.
  8. How do you guys feel about taking all of Matt Kemp's salary and putting him in LF? Or would you take him and put him as DH? Or would you rather have Melky, or use DH as a rotational position like how the Yankees used it in 2013?
  9. its crazy how far he's fallen off. He came so close to being 40/40 a few years ago and I remember he said he plans to become the first 50/50 player. He wasn't too bad last year, but dat contract.
  10. Oops I derped. When I checked his account I thought he said he writes for @MLB but that's not the case. HOWEVER, the same time this came out this article came out: http://m.mlb.com/news/article/102779328/the-orioles-and-dodgers-have-reportedly-talked-about-a-trade-involving-matt-kemp mod delete if needed
  11. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/102779328/the-orioles-and-dodgers-have-reportedly-talked-about-a-trade-involving-matt-kemp edit: changed title from 'close' to discussed.
  12. We already have Izzy, why would we want this guy?!
  13. I don't mind having Goins right now, honestly. Saves us a few mil to go after someone else and his defense is enough to cover his shortcoming. I'm not sure what we'll do with Maicer, though.
  14. do not use that source anymore someone on baseball reddit figured it out - this guy was filtering through twitter and 'stealing' other people's sources Details here
  15. I hope the pressure doesn't get to him. People in Oakland are gonna expect great things from him, and I just don't see him replicating Donaldson.
  16. I think Donaldson at 2 is a waste. I believe all the power hitters should be 3 and below. And I don't mind having them three straight. As much as possible I'd like a lefty in the #2 slot. Hopefully Pompey ends up there over the course of the season. Or we can just resign Melky.
  17. I'm surprised Keith Law didn't go out of his way to praise Barreto.
  18. Jane Lee @JaneMLB · 47m 47 minutes ago Donaldson was playing video games, watching golf when he got a "Blue Jays?" text. Says, "At the end of the day, no one's untouchable." Jane Lee @JaneMLB · 45m 45 minutes ago Donaldson in shock, still processing news, but made it a priority to call back beat writers first. That's the kind of guy he is. Jane Lee @JaneMLB · 41m 41 minutes ago Beane says both pitchers he got are big-league ready. Lawrie to play third base. 0 replies 29 retweets 28 favorites Reply Retweet29 Favorite28 More
  19. "but we didn't have a middle of the order bat to go with Bautista/EE." Wat? Bautista and E5 were enough. Not that I'm complaining lol
  20. I was supposed to be playing Dragon Age tonight. Now I can't, too excited and have to read/listen to all reactions.
  21. Beane said the key to this deal is Barreto.
  22. Beane said they had Jays inquire about him back in October, and trade picked up last week.
  23. If anyone wants to fap over Donaldson home runs: http://www.hittrackeronline.com/detail.php?id=2014_2441&type=hitter
  24. I don't think anyone doubted, as she had a previous track record of one trade. Though, this makes me think that Stoeten is a good source now. Apparently Fairservice also 'predicted' Donaldson, or maybe fed the info from Stoeten.
