  1. Have we talked about Grandal signing with the Brewers for 1 year 18.25 million? Ridiculously low number for him. The Rockies should have been all over that.
  2. What the hell are the Cardinals doing? How does a 45-50 career record at Texas Tech translate to NFL head coach success? If they really were enamored with Kingsbury's offense you'd think they'd just go after Mike Leach instead. He's more of a pioneer of that offense and has had success as a HC.
  3. Congrats P2F, well deserved!
  4. We should rename that thread The Communism Thread. We all did a political quiz recently and 3/4 of the people posting there are to the left of Karl Marx.
  5. I don't know if I'm actually a foreigner (I have Canadian citizenship but have never lived in Canada) but if you guys want to keep giving me this award I will keep accepting it. I'm not even sure I'd count Bob (who is also deserving of the award), Canadians are basically English-American hybrids anyway. Ang is the one true foreigner deserving of the award. Where is littlemoon from?
  6. I'm not mad about the team giving him one. It didn't really f*** as that bad and seemed like a good idea at the time. I just think his agent did an excellent job for him. We're talking never have to work again, generational money. There's definitely more lucrative mistakes but those are usually done via overspending in FA. I'm sure there are better examples but I can't think of a young player signing extension like this and it working out so well for that player. Jon Singleton would be another one.
  7. His agent should be a shoo-in
  8. I agree that he's a fine player and with his age 30 and 31 year old seasons under control we will probably get two more years of the same ole Pillar. Only reason to move him is because we are rebuilding this year and next so his control coincides with years where I won't expect us to be competitive. I can't see us extending him either. So I wouldn't mind seeing him go but it needs to be for something decent I wouldn't give him away.
  9. That extension he and his agent got was an all-time great.

  11. Richard probably out WARs Shoemaker next year.
  12. Now let's trade Stroman to them for Baez and Allen.
  13. Dont expect a ton out of Shoemaker but at that price it won't matter. He's basically free he just needs to be healthy enough to warrant his roster spot is all. Hopefully we can get 15 starts out of him.
  14. Yep, I've been thinking this for a while now. I'm cool with it. I just hope we trade some vets. Rockies paid a lot for Murphy too bad we couldn't have worked something out with them for Smoak.
  15. That's the only downside to the deal from their perspective. They need to make more moves though. In some ways this is like a way better version of the deal AA made with the Marlins.
  16. Yeah I think they did well too. I'm surprised the Dodgers couldn't find something better for that package
  17. Why is this even the least bit controversial? Surely you guys know me well enough by now to know that I'm not some casual fan screaming at the Jays for signing AAA trash. Of course all teams do it. Matter of fact I think we should tank this year. But think about it, we traded Diaz for a fringe prospect who probably won't contribute this year, said we were looking for a veteran SS and subsequently signed Sogard. We also need SPs and have watched numerous backend guys get taken off the board. The Sogard signing certainly doesn't preclude us from acquiring anyone better than him but nothing I've seen, read or heard about this offseason makes me think we will. I'm sure Sogard's team discussed this with the Jays before he signed as well. Not that he has any pull but he's going to go where he has a shot to make a team. So yeah, I think we are going to suck this year and the Sogard signing makes me slightly more certain of that. I hope I'm wrong though!
  18. Been saying it for a while but moves like this are further cementing it.
  19. I had no idea Anibal Sanchez was a thing again. Now he's getting 20 mil.
  20. Yeah I am slightly worried about that. This could be an ugly year which would make for 3 bad years in a row. I just hope ownership will be patient because the fans aren't going to be.
  21. Beat writers usually suck but Gregor Chisholm might be the exception. Decent Q and A about the offseason. https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/who-will-stick-as-blue-jays-shortstop/c-301972254
  22. They need to increase the veterans committee to like 500 voters or more and make them from different eras. When you get 20 guys all from Baines' era it's easy for nepotism and good 'ole boys to vote each other in. Harder to do that with a bigger, more diverse pool of veterans who are voting.
  23. We need to put some rules in. A nominating process, a 75% threshold, etc. We need a small Hall, not a big one. Spanky is a surefire no doubt first ballot hall of famer though. No question.
  24. Like much of California, San Fran is a city of haves and have-nots. If you're pulling in millions a year it's probably a great place to be.
