Martinez will be 31 next year and his bat at 1B isn't anything special. Nelson missed all of 2018, will be 30 next year and before his breakout 2017, he was a No. 4-5 starter.
LMAO WTF? I don't get the point you're trying to make here.
One is a pitcher, the other is a hitter. And even after 2009, Felix Hernandez was still pretty darn good till 2015.
This has to be the stupidest post of the year!
First place in the East will be so important. At least you save yourself from going through a team like Philly or Boston in the 2nd round. Milwaukee might even be in the mix for the 2nd or 3rd seed like they are now at the end of the season if they continue playing this well. The East just got a lot tougher.
I think we all saw this coming.
Its a tough call. I think his injuries and him moving off from catcher for the last several years might go against him. But from 2005-2013, he was definitely one of the best, if not best catcher in the game.
Funny thing, Sapporo isn't the most popular beer in Japan, unless you're in Hokkaido. Asahi, Kirin and Suntory are much more popular among the Japanese. As well, I never saw that 650 mL can of Sapporo in Japan. I think it's only in North America.
In Japan, they have vending machines on the street that sell beer.
Not a bad idea at ballgames. As well, wouldn't feel pressured tipping someone who just grabs a can from the fridge and opens it for you.
Kennys Vargas signing to play in Japan. Not a bad decision on his part. If he puts up video game numbers over there for the next 2-3 years, he likely could come back and sign a MLB deal similar to Eric Thames a couple of years ago.
Jays are likely signing Cahill for a two-year deal and probably someone like Ervin Santana or Drew Pomeranz for a one-year + incentives if they don't land a SP via trade.
Blue Jays will show interest in Jon Gray or Danny Salazar. Perfect targets.
