Mauer & Morneau were a pretty good hitting tandem in their primes. Also, can't forget Jason Kubel lol.

I'll take RW Kailer Yamamoto

Add Eddie Rosario to that list.

I'll take GABRIEL VILARDI.

Missed Britton as well, damn.

I'll take Tyler Myers

Took Joe Thornton

After the second half Nunez had with the Boston? I think he'll get more than a 2 year contract from someone in what is a weak FA market. He's still only 30 and has displayed double digit power numbers along with averaging 30+ SB's the past two seasons.

They were all coming off good years and the Royals aren't really the smartest organization to begin with. Kennedy & Leake were both younger when they signed their deals. Hammels got 2 years/16 million after going 15-10 with a 3.83 ERA and 1.5 WAR. Colon was coming off a 2.9 WAR season with the Mets and the Braves probably had to overpay a bit to bring him to Atlanta.

It would be nice to add another No. 2 type starter, though they're aren't many available in free agency. Alex Cobb would be a nice add though not sure how much he costs. Not really a fan of Lance Lynn. As a swingman/No. 6 starter, Biagini should be a candidate though I still wouldn't mind adding another arm to fit that type of role as well. Trevor Cahill would be an interesting target. Not sure if a team will sign him as a starter, but when he was with the Padres he looked like a completely different pitcher and its not because of Petco. I don't think Chavez would come back to Toronto and Anderson likely would sign anywhere that offers him a rotation spot. Stroman Sanchez Cobb Happ Estrada Biagini Cahill That rotation above looks rock solid.

I don't think he gets a 3 year deal in free agency.

That's why I would never get season seats for the Blue Jays or any baseball team unless it was the Red Sox or Cubs. Too many games to try and sell, which like you said could be stressful and requires you to put a lot of time in. Tough thing about baseball is that you might be required to unload tickets to 6 or 7 straight games all in one week, unlike with basketball or hockey tickets. Only way you can really get season tickets is if you get 3-4 people to in with you, so you get around 20 games each. I'll just select & pay for the games I want to go to, even if it means sometimes spending $10-20 more above the season seat holder rate. Plus, like you said seats on StubHub are going for far below face value, so doesn't even make sense purchasing seats from the box office.

K/9 rates are really low. Doubtful I was using a keeper slot on him. Still the 29 holds were nice this season, though he hasn't been getting as much as late. You can thank me later.

I'll take Vladislav Namestnikov

Edwin Jackson was a disaster. Same with Bettis this week (though didn't stream him). Can't believe I came back to take the lead in ERA haha. Parker Bridwell was rock solid. Worried about starting Henderson Alvarez today & Chacin at Coors, though I guess I really don't have a choice since we're locked in a tie in wins and you have 3 guys going as well. Down 11-0 heading into the weekend, categories were still pretty close so glad that I've closed the gap a bit to give me a chance on the final day. Need another big day with the bats & some solid pitching. Looking forward to a tight finish hopefully.

Haha 48K each seat or is that a pair?

Had my eyes on 2-3 guys haha.

I'll take Ryan Strome.

Everyone taking goalies. Good thing I hung onto Howard.

Opening up the year with that outfield is a bit worrisome. I'd like to see the Jays at least target another veteran corner OF whether its Bruce, CarGo or JD Martinez. Other than Martinez who likely would cost the most, I don't see Bruce or CarGo being that crazy expensive. I really don't want to see Pearce & Carrera split time in the OF again. Would be depressing lol. Gurriel & Urena are solid replacements in case Tulo or Travis go on the DL. Depending on the length of the injury. If it's an extended amount of time again, might be best to give AB's to Gurriel, whereas Urena is a decent replacement for 1-2 weeks, though wouldn't want to see Urena getting 400 AB's. For the starting rotation, likely they bring back Estrada IMO as the No. 4 guy. A lot of possibilities for the No. 5 spot (Anderson, Liriano, Cahill, Fister, Chacin, Jimenez, Chatwood etc.). I'd keep Biagini either as the 6th starter, in case someone goes down with an injury. Prepare him as a starter in the offseason & ST. Bullpen: adding a LHP should be on the top of their list. McGee would be a nice add IMO. I'm fine with Osuna, Leone, Tepera, Barnes, Ramirez, Loup, and Biagini (long man) in the pen.

Ah when I did the spreadsheet search, nothing highlighted his name. But I see it now from doing it on my laptop. Damn. Thanks for the reminder though. I don't have anymore first rounders. So we would have had to come up with some other sort of punishment. Traded all my picks to Gibbers basically.

Cleveland gets a bad rap, though it's not that bad of a city to visit for a weekend if theres a sporting event going on. Went down last October for the ALCS. Cleveland fans are very friendly. As for some places to check out, Cleveland has a lot of good restaurants and craft beer places. East 4th Street is the happening area before and after baseball games. A lot of good bars & restaurants to check out. The Butcher & the Brewer is a real good spot for snacks and craft beer. The Greenhouse Tavern is a really good spot for dinner as well. Check out West Side Market one morning/afternoon. Pretty similar to the St. Lawrence Market. As well, the area around there is nice. A lot of good restaurants, bars & patios. Great Lakes Brewing Company is right nearby. As well, ate brunch at the Flying Fig which was a good spot! The Black Pig was also great and nearby as well. Checkout the cocktail bar on top of the Hilton downtown. They make good cocktails and you get a nice view at night of the surrounding area. Otherwise, never did any of the tourist stuff since we were only there for a weekend. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame I guess is something to see if you have time. Like other posters said, not much happening downtown. It's pretty much a ghost town at all parts of the day. Cleveland wasn't that bad. I'd go back again to catch some baseball games or maybe a Cavs/Raptors playoff game in the spring or something. Overall, if there really isn't any sporting event thats going on in the city, I wouldn't go out of my way just to visit Cleveland.

I'll just drop them

Both could end up s***ing the bed in 2018. I hope not though. You never know though with relievers, they're extremely volatile. Eg. Jeremy Accardo, Brandon League, Jesse Carlson, Shawn Camp etc.
