  1. This isn't rocket science. Dickey sucks. He's only going to suck more two seasons from now.
  2. What kind of projected value are we talking about with 2017 Dickey? He's already a guy who needed 214 innings to scrap his way to 2 wins last year. You're essentially advocating dedicating two roster spots in 2017 for what? A 1.0 to 1.5 win garbage tosser? f*** this s***. Enough already.
  3. I always prefer to give up on a guy too soon than too late. I already feel like we're pushing it in 2016. You add the difficulties he creates for catchers and it would be kind of nice to just move on.
  4. Dickey's going to hit a wall sooner rather than later. Throwing a knuckleball isn't the fountain of youth. It made sense to use the option this year for cost security and whatever but next year when things are wide open, it would be nice to explore other options.
  5. There's no real grounds for this assumption and it's the premise for what follows.
  6. http://no-take-backs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/giphy.gif
  7. Once. Seemed like an obnoxious show about a bunch of *******s.
  8. Except that he doesn't actually have a fluid role. He's basically a 7th inning closer.
  9. Well maybe I'm just using the wrong terminology. Physically, he profiles as a guy who should be a good OF but he isn't and the problem seems to be between the ears.
  10. And that's why the Jays will never get one of those competitive balance picks.
  11. I don't believe this. Carrera has all the tools to be a MLB 4th OF which makes it all the more frustrating that his utter lack of baseball instincts hold him back but you have to figure his instincts will improve over time not get worse. Maybe he needs ADHD meds or something.
  12. Picking up Will Venable off the trash heap would have been preferable to rostering 'Zeke.
  13. Smoak = Smoak Barney = Goins (not a popular opining but I really think they're basically the same guy) I don't really like Navarro but it's not hard to be better than Thole and Pompey is obviously a lot better than Zeke.
  14. I think he's probably a decent loogy but I had my doubts that he would be used properly if included on the roster. The switch pitching thing is such a cool novelty that you can easily imagine it seducing a manager into giving him too much non-loogy work. Ultimately, the loogy job is Loup's anyways.
  15. Busts: Anthony Alford, Max Pentecost, Andy Burns, Conner Greene, Vlad Guerrero Junior, Rowdy Tellez, Jon Harris, Sean Reid-Foley, Danny Jansen, Richard Urena, Dwight Smith, Jesus Tinoco, Shane Dawson, Francisco Rios, Clinton Hollon, Ryan Borucki. New Legit Guy: Hansel Rodriguez Sleepers: Yorman Rodriguez, Norberto Obeso, Sterling Guzman, Daniel Rodriguez, Jose Espada
  16. Pretty prophetic quote from Giboons in that piece: We’ll see where that goes but (a second lefty) not something we have to have.
  17. [h=1]MLB The Show 16 to keep Venditte unique[/h] http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/mlb-show-16-keep-venditte-unique/
  18. Not in this league. Not sure what his priority was but it wasn't #1. I had #1 and still do. Speaking of waiver claims... Word is Andrew Bailey starts the season in the minors.
  19. I agree with everything you said...
  20. Because the though that the new front office actually thinks just like Gibby is too depressing to contemplate.
  21. You don't like Hendriks? That's cool he's gone. Pillar hits leadoff? Sure why not. You want Sanchez to start? Done. You like Osuna in the closer role? Here you go. It really seems like Gibby is running the asylum.
