    I bet you are just an absolute joy to be around at parties, aren't you?
  2. Terminator
    Yeah from Colorado's perspective you can't really give the deal a final grade until we see what they do with Reyes. But getting a good prospect for him isn't going to be an easy task unless they eat some money IMO. We shall see, but right now they traded Tulo for 2 good but not elite prospects and a bad contract. You could make a good argument that the Reds got a better package for a half season of Cueto than the Rockies got for Tulo.
  3. Terminator
    I agree. The Mets, Yankees or Dodgers couldn't beat that package? Maybe the Rockies think they can move Reyes for an asset? Idk, I think AA did pretty well here.
  4. Terminator
    Is turf proven to cause more injuries?
  5. Terminator
    The more we hear about this deal the more it sounds like a salary dump.
  6. Terminator
    I can't imagine AA is done after this. I bet we see a starting pitcher heading this way before the deadline.
  7. Terminator
    It's possible. lol Not a great front office and hasn't been in their 20 years of existence.
  8. Terminator
    Well if you look at overall run prevention rather than starting pitching, relief pitching, and defense individually this does help by improving SS defense by a mile. Also adding a decent pen arm.
  9. Terminator
    LaTroy Hawkins included according to KR.
  10. Terminator
    Reyes and minor leaguers to the Rox. Confirmed by Ken.
  11. Terminator
    You would think he or Reyes would be involved. If it's Travis then perhaps Reyes moves to 2B? But the Rockies have LeMahieu, not sure that front office views Travis as an upgrade.
  12. Terminator
    holy s***.

    No worries, it's all good. With Rogers at the helm will anything change though? They'll likely just hire someone else who has one foot in and one foot out when it comes to advanced statistics. It'll be more of the same s***, hell it could be worse.

    Yeah my premise admits that we don't have a great team but the AL East and the AL in general isn't that great this year. We've got an outside shot at the AL East and a pretty darn good chance to snag a Wild Card. With a team that's old like this if we can find a trade that makes sense we might as well go for it. Yeah I seem to be getting a little heat for that post. I didn't mean a whole lot by it but I did think it's interesting that we lead that admittedly arbitrary criteria in RD. That's all.

    So in other words I should be depressed is what you're saying? Good points on all fronts although you do come across as a preachy *******. But don't teams that kick some serious ass over the first 100 games tend to do better over the next 62 games than teams who sucked over the first 100? Run differential isn't a great prediction of future vents but if we keep outscoring teams at the pace we are, we should do much better. I do disagree that our shot at a wild card is marginal though. After the division leaders and the Astros we've got a better chance than anybody.
  16. Terminator
    I don't know if this should make us depressed or hopeful.
  17. Terminator
    No because we are right in the thick of the playoff chase and this Front Office needs to at least win the WC. 6.5 back of the Yankees isn't great but we are in 2nd place and the O's and Rays aren't great teams. So even though we are 6.5 back it's not like we need to leap 3 teams to take the AL East, we just need to beat one. We also are only 3 back of the Twins and our main competition is from those some mediocre AL East teams. We also have played pretty well but we've been unlucky. If we keep playing well we've got a real shot at the playoffs. Fangraphs has us pegged at 34.5% right now, far better than any other team other than the division leaders or Houston.
  18. Terminator
    Yeah he could replace Beurhle in both innings pitched and salary.
  19. Terminator
    Yeah and that can happen with any stat really. Look at OBP, for example. When this whole Moneyball craze started everyone used that one stat to point at guys like Adam Dunn and wonder if he's a Hall of Famer. Statistic analysis should always be looked at through the scope of market inefficiencies to really take full advantage of sabremetrics.

    That in itself isn't a bad argument. But using Dominicans as evidence for that is just stupid. Comparing Bill Belichek to Domincan players is a laughable comparison. I could make just as dumb of a comparison by comparing Andrew Friedman to Frank Gore, who is mentally handicapped and can't even read.

    Cowherd is an idiot and is making a false equivalency argument on multiple levels. He's always hated baseball and he'll use any s***** argument he can to trash the game. Education and intelligence are two different things. Further to that, a traditional K-12 education doesn't translate to a baseball education. According to Cowherd's argument, it seems like someone with a Ph.D. would play sports at a more intelligent level than someone with merely a college degree? I'm not buying that. You could argue that these Dominican players who do nothing but play baseball since a very young age are MORE educated about the game of baseball than a U.S. player who focuses on school and then practices a couple hours a day during baseball season.

    Goins bat + serviceable LF defense = the worst LF in baseball
  23. Terminator
    And for what it's worth, fangraphs ranks the odds to win the division as follows: 1. Yankees 2. Jays 3. Orioles 4. Rays http://www.fangraphs.com/coolstandings.aspx
  24. Terminator
    I can't stand Morosi. I think he's probably the worst baseball writer out there - his twitter account is particularly bad.

    Trading EE for a good pitcher is going to be difficult. He's not a spring chicken so any team rebuilding is out. That leaves contenders and who wants to lose big league assets when in contention, especially pitching? It could happen as you do see contenders sometimes make deals together to tweak their rosters a bit but it's not very common. And frankly do the Jays want to lose big league assets? With AA needing some big league results I don't see him trading big league talent.
