    That would be a great trade for us but also makes some sense for the s***** ass Royals.
  2. Terminator
    I wonder if Pompey has been traded? Romano is back. Injuries to Axford and Tepera so we could probably use him.
  3. Terminator
    Everyone thought I was crazy for even asking if Luciano was going to make the team but at this point it has to be a big question mark. Sending him back and freeing up a 40 man spot has to be pretty tempting for the FO right now.
  4. Terminator
    100 million isn't enough for the boat I'd buy
  5. Terminator
    Yeah he'll negotiate an extension if he has to.
  6. Terminator
    Scott Boras has become the most successful sports agent of all time by giving his clients the exact opposite advice but what does he know?
  7. Terminator
    Geezus Jim, that's what we got for a turd like Dwight Smith Jr.
  8. Terminator
    So what's Justin Smoak then? He was worse than Pillar last year and is projected to put up less WAR than Pillar by both Zips and Steamer this year. If Pillar is below average then Smoak must suck?
  9. Terminator
    I agree I was just saying Vlad Jr., warts and all, signing an extension like this would have us all howling in delight. Tells you how good Bregman is and how much money he gave up to secure a guaranteed 100 mil.
  10. Terminator
    2 WAR players don't grow on trees, Jimbo.
  11. Terminator
    After seeing Mookie Bett's arb years where he's going to get close to 20 mil a year for 3 years I feel like Bregman did leave a good chunk of change out there. This deal buys out 2 FA years too which is probably going to take him out of the 10 year Machado-like extension when he hits FA. That said, he has yet to hit a gigantic payday and 100 mil is a lot of guaranteed money to turn down. Seems like a reasonable deal for both sides but I like this for the Astros. As an example, imagine if Vlad Jr. signed something like this after putting up 12 WAR in his first 2+ seasons. We'd be ecstatic.

    I'm sure Shatkins fielded offers for Pillar but they just didn't get anything worthwhile. He's a perfectly acceptable starting CF with two years of control left. We can't just give him away, especially just so we can clear a spot for Pompey. And I say this as someone who has been on Pompey's nuts all spring.
  13. Terminator
    Yeah they may just cut Pompey loose. There's a way to keep him for a little while while Buccholz gets his feet under him but it's going to be hard to roster 5 OFers. I would have liked to see them keep him somehow but McKinney and Teoscar probably need to be playing in the bigs and Alford is waiting in the wings and is a better asset.
  14. Terminator
    So either Teoscar gets optioned or Pompey is gone.
  15. Terminator
    Seems like a good deal for the Angels compared to the recent Harper and Machado deals.
  16. Terminator
    I remember when Rickey Henderson and Bobby Bonilla played cards during a playoff game.
  17. Terminator
    The Astros reportedly play Fortnite like crazy. I'm sure the Jays are just cutting it off a couple of hours before the game starts or something.
  18. Terminator
    They could option McKinney and have him work at 1B. Then the first time Smoak, Morales, or an outfielder gets hurt he could come up and find plenty of AB's.
  19. Terminator
    He's out of options so I think he either makes the team or we have to pass him through waivers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
  20. Terminator
    Well yeah for most diehard fans like us you could probably change nothing and the sport would be better off. The changes are designed for casual fans and to help the sport grow beyond it's regional fanbase into a more national brand.
  21. Terminator
    Thanks. The season is too long IMO. Especially for the s***** teams who are out of it by mid-May. It's endless, meaningless baseball. Especially when football ramps up in late August/September, then these games become even more pointless. The postseason lasts too long as well and it rewards a different type of roster than the regular season too. I'd eliminate some of the off days for that. Not huge changes but small tweaks that I think would help.
  22. Terminator
    Oh come on Jimbo, deep down I know you like me.
  23. Terminator
    If I were running things this is what I would do: Time/pace of play related changes: -Reduce the time between innings even more. I think I read that in the 1970s there was only a 1 minute break between each inning. MLB should do something like that and in order to make up for the ad revenue they could go split screen for the first minute they are back or something. That would be over 15 minutes shaved off. -The 20 second pitch clock isn't a bad idea. I'd probably do that too. -I wouldn't mind seeing them ditch replay during the regular season it takes up a lot of time. Maybe just let the booth review plays only and only if the game is close and late (7th inning and on, 3 run game or less)? Other changes: -I'd encourage more individuality and stuff like that as well. Letting players celebrate after good plays is a good way to allow more personalities to shine through. -I'd implement the DH in the NL. -Shorten the regular season to 154 games. -Condense the postseason by having fewer off days.
  24. Terminator
    I like: -July 31 hard trade deadline -slight reduction of commercial breaks I don't care: -All-Star voting changes -Home Run Derby -Mound visits -Position player pitching -28 man September rosters I hate: -Rosters expanding to 26 -3 batter minimum
  25. Terminator
    Man the NFL offseason is off to a great start. NBA has a pretty good one too. MLB used to be the premier offseason league for its Hotstove Season but I think the other leagues are catching up, especially when you factor in that the other leagues have much more marketable drafts.
