    Damn, I really want that guy of yours that I want.
  2. KingKat
    Is that sarcasm? JPA is a good framer in that over a huge sample size in 2013 his contribution was positive but on a per game basis he's nothing to right home about. A good framer, sure, better than Navarro but certainly not as good as Kratz and not necesarily as good as Thole either.
  3. KingKat
    Thole's true talent probably lies somewhere between what we've seen so far this year and the absolutely abysmal hitter he was last year. In his early years he put up respectable OBPs for the Mets. A Thole/Kratz platoon would have probably be just fine behind the plate. Navarro provides more offense but he gives a lot of that back behind the plate. The three-headed monster with Navarro getting DH starts against lefties is a pretty good setup to be honest.

    Sent you a wise offer.

    How about that guy I asked you about last week about which you never got back to me?
  6. KingKat
    Anyone want Drew now that he has finally signed?

    Might as well give me the Dodgers. I'm picking ahead of them with the Clevelands so it won't really be more work to do them the Dodgers right after and it will speed things up if I make two consecutive picks.

    Devon White was another CF who sold out for power early in his career. He had 24 homeruns with the angels in 1987 but his OBP hovered around .300 during those Angels years. He eventually became a consistent .330 OBP guy and ended his career at a respectable .319.

    Poor man's Darren Oiver? I like this more if he has options.

    I don't understand why anyone minds the Hendricks call-up. When you pick up a guy like this and he does well, there's no harm in giving him a shot. He could be Jesse Chavez 2.0. If it doesn't work out you can still give the shot to Stroman once he's stretched out. If they called up Hendricks and kept Stroman in the bullpen not stretched out, that would be a lot worse but this is pretty much exactly right. The mistake was calling up Stroman to be a reliever in the first place and they compounded that by keeping him there even after Janssen came back.

    Suprised by the pronounciation of Roughned Odor's name although I don't entirely trust Buck with those.

    Rajai is available.

    Best prospect in baseball.

    The Terry Fox Foundation is a good charity. Most of the work is done by volunteers and they give money for actual cancer research not useless awareness campaigns like Run for the Cure does.

    Hey puckheads, anyone know if Zenon Konopka is the first NHL player to get a banned substance suspension? http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/10937649/zenon-konopka-buffalo-sabres-suspended-20-games-nhl

    Zaun was in the Mitchell report. I hate JPA but anything he said about Zaun is a truth bomb.

    Why should we protect GMs from their own stupidity?
  18. KingKat
    So I see Scott Atchison come out and I think, he looks prehistoric. I check his age and of course it's the same as mine.
  19. KingKat
    Five and dive. That's the Happ motto.

    There's been grumblings that Dwight Smith Jr. would get moved to 2B but he's only played OF this year.
  21. KingKat
    Everything you post comes off at least 20% more douchy since you picked that avatar. I suspect that you're fine with this.
  22. KingKat
    Moving McGowan to the pen kills two birds with one stone. The bullpen might simply be improved by not having to cover for both him and Happ and he should be an effective reliever in his own right. What they are doing with Stroman doesn't make much sense. If he's not replacing McGowan then I agree he should be in the minors and getting ready to come back as a starter. What he is doing now is a waste of his service time and the more it goes on the less he'll be able to start effectively if and when he's called upon.

    His title was Consultant to Baseball Operations. He was recommended by DePodesta himself. By the end, his title became Special Assistant to the GM.
  24. KingKat
    Even though he's kind of a douche, I would love to hear/read Keith Law's reaction to this. He was the analytics guy under J.P. Ricciardi called him his "Depodesta".
  25. KingKat
    Teams will adjust especially now that it's all spelled out in a bloody FanGraphs article.
