  1. The best part about that is those are the values before you count Gomes' framing.
  2. At least John Lackey is a super likable fellow who will fit right in.
  3. If what Rosenthal says is true and Lackey is honoring his contract, it's truly a great trade for the Cards.
  4. For once I made a pickup. I absolutely loathe myself for missing Brock Holt.
  5. Do you know how he ended up in this weird contract situation in the first place? It's not like he's a young player.
  6. Conversely, the pitchers they traded get a boost from their new environments, bandbox for Lester, NL park for Lackey. So at the very least, that boost should be factored as well. These trades will work for both sides. Boston hasn't raped anyone.
  7. Is this really so terrible for St-Louis? Is the upgrade from Kelly to Lackey not worth Craig?
  8. I picked up Kenny Vargas but then it occured to me that he might be owned. I can't check the sheet at work.
  9. I actully enjoy you as a poster for the most part so I won't do that. You help generate debate but you tend to jump into an argument all guns blazing and indignant. With a posting style like that you should expect some gentle (and not so gentle) ribbing.
  10. You're not wrong. You're just annoying.
  11. No regrets. Your whinning can get really over the top.
  12. A competitive balance pick in the hands of the Red Sox is bad news. Not a team you want having extra picks.
  13. http://weknowmemes.com/generator/uploads/generated/g1364481186281009993.jpg
  14. As I mentionned earlier, Rickard's White is literally Pale Moon under a different brand. Created in the U.S. by Coors.
  15. Basically North American knockoffs of Belgian Whites and not a bad way to get used to the style, especially when they are on tap. I'd recommend trying Cheval Blanc from Montreal if you come across it and Hoegaarden, if only because it's the template for all the rest (although there's debate about whether it still tastes the way it did originally or whether it has essentially become a knock-off of itself).
  16. Shocktop is LaBatt/Budweiser's answer to Molson/Coors' Rickard's White/Pale Moon (which are the exact same beer btw). If memory serves me right it's slightly better but I never made a straight up comparison and it's been awhile since I had it.
  17. They would have been better off going year to year with him. A 10 million dollar combine salary for 2014-2015 is peanuts, more than made up for by the 4 WAR season he provided last year. Now they have committed a bit too much and need him to become at least an average player again. It's not a ton of money but given their budget it hampers them going forward if he doesn't. Not sure if there's an explanation for this. He really shouldn't be this awfurl unless he's playing through an injury.
  18. Forgot to mention that I also liked how the conclusion wasn't heavy handed.
  19. In before someone says affirmative action.
  20. Would be awesomely hilarious if they sold Benoit to the Jays for pennies on the dollar because they didn't want to trade within the division.
  21. Good article btw. I like how you take your time with the concepts. Instead of the blog thread, this article is what should be brought to Kratz's twitter people's attention.
