  1. The minority on this board perhaps....
  2. Stro is bringing it in his final start as a Jay. They better get a haul for him.
  3. I always liked Devon Travis. He's such a good dude. We're obviously going to release him and it's the right move no doubt. I hope he can find an opportunity somewhere and somehow stay healthy long enough get back to being a productive player. I'm not sure either will happen though.
  4. okay...sentiment leaked through the media....the gig is up. Management and Stroman can't stand each other. Couples counselling will not work. Every GM in the league knows this. The idea that we're only trading Stroman if we get a really great offer is a facade. We're going to take the best offer we get. Hopefully we can get a couple teams in a bidding war so we get a good return.
  5. Atkins public comments on Stroman. We're trading him because of cultural reasons. He's a bad clubhouse guy and we're desperate to trade him. Yeah, you might not want to get those expectations too high. Someone is going to get desperate, but it's likely going to be the nerd who called him a clubhouse cancer.
  6. Most of you think Stroman is reaching to try and get a 5 year 70 mil extension. Most of you feel 4 years 55 would be more appropriate. Yet on the trade market a team's 2nd, 3rd and 5th ranked prospect for a year and two months of Stroman isn't enough. There seems to be a disconnect between those two opinions.
  7. no slice of cheese cake to go along with that? When a fellow GM blocks your number, you know you've probably asked for too much.
  8. Ok....laugh away...we'll see what the return is.
  9. I think you guys should readjust your expectations for the return on Stroman. It seems like management is desperate to trade the guy. I wouldn't be shocked if we got Pivetta and some scrubs.
  10. dumb play, but he rarely makes those mistakes.
  11. just tuned into the game. I saw Drury at bat and said to myself he's garbage....and then boom 2 run bomb..lol
  12. Why do you make posts that make you sound like a teenager? You're older than me and I'm old.
  13. who cares....I'm pumped to watch Borucki on Monday.
  14. I should have just posted the link to article I read this in. https://deadspin.com/baseball-writer-jonah-keri-arrested-charged-with-assau-1836532809
  15. looks like this was wife number 2. 3 assault charges from 3 separate incidents. They were married in July of 18 and the first incident was July of 18....so much for the honeymoon phase.
  16. and your thoughts on Grichuk?
  17. I wasn't really being serious. I was just pointing out the obvious. Vlad needs to lose 15 pounds!
  18. this is all good news....dude you wanna cash in that million dollar cheque next year? Enough of grandma's cooking, lose 15 pounds and maybe you'll have a little more stamina and not run out of gas in the home run derby next year.
  19. maybe stro just faked an injury so he could get some one on one time
  20. so much for trading stroman this year.
  21. this seems like a fun exercise. What does everyone think we would get from the Yanks and Astros for stroman?
  22. The Yankees have just over 90 mil committed for 2021. That's just depressing. Sure their arb guys will eat up another 40 mil, but they can probably still spend 100+ million. Good luck out bidding the yankees in 2 years.
  23. why are you cherry picking the guys best contracts and ignoring all the overpaid crap contracts. Carrasoco was a lot older, with more injury risk and he took a team friendly deal. Hendricks is also a year and a half older than Stroman and he played for the cubs. He wanted the security and liked the team and took a team friendly deal. Now no young player can sign an early extension. Well look at Albies. You're not as good as him, so you get less money. That's silly. Lynn had tommy John and came off a tough year, Gray had a tough year, Happ was old. We're going to trade for Verlander and Cole. Who are we going to trade for these guys? We traded for a lot of prospects who don't look so good right now. Maybe the Stroman trade will provide fantastic results. The upside is probably higher by trading him, but the risks are also much higher. Stroman might take less than 5 for 80. Maybe 5 and 65 or 70 gets it done. I'm going with the safe play and at least making him an offer.
  24. I thought Vlad's wRC+ was 94 and with a .726 OPS..lol. I'm not really worried about Vlad, but I'm not counting his minor league stats.
