Yeah I agree that we shouldn't be debating how avoidable or unavoidable the death was. It's more a question of measuring the sudden impact on future value. Is there any reasonably valuable player whose death wouldn't come as a surprise? Is there any reasonably valuable player whose death wouldn't come as a shock? I don't think so. It's not uncommon for young men to engage in risky behaviour and athletes are not immune from that. That doesn't make it reasonable for us to expect them to drop dead at any moment whether it's because of an accident, and O.D., a suicide or any other cause.

Jose Fernandez killed in boating accident

Agreed and enforced. -
Ha! I knew you would.

Remaining schedule for all AL wild card chasers.

Wasn't he one of those cheap senior signs like Desclafani? Those guys don't get much hype even when they pitch well in the minors. Doesn't mean they can't be good of course. -
GDT - Yanks @ Jays Game 1 of 4 7:07 PM EST

That's two different kinds of processed cheese. Give me a sandwich with real cheddar over that any day. -
Dickey got three outs. Two of them were botched by Donaldson.
-
Holy f*** does Pillar have terrible ABs. It's a wonder he even has what little success he does have.
-
That much seems painfully obvious. Guess Dickey comes in to the game now. Heck, I hope Dickey comes in to the game because I sure as hell don't want to see Tepera.
-
Why is tepera still a thing!?!
-
There is even the slightest resemblance between Stoeten's and Moogy's respective writing styles.

O.K. I perma-banned Jiminy but I'm going to bed shortly. Everybody play nice for the rest of the night, m'kay?

Holy s***! I must have a sixth sense for this sort of thing. Literally just logged in.

For a show, that really wasn't that amazing Frasier sure won a bunch of emmies. It won five consecutive Outstanding Comedy Series awards and it was nominated against Seinfeld all five times.

I have Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson as my fantasy QBs. Should I pick up Joe Flacco? Maybe instead of Jameis? This is a keeper league but we only keep four so in an ideal world I have enough ball carriers to not have to worry about the keeper value of any of these guys.

So that's the exact quote from Cafardo. There's no real substance to it. Purely speculative. No source or anything. Just three names he figure are in the mix for their Cleveland connections. They aren't bad guesses but he has no real insight into the front offices' thinking.

General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread
KingKat replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah... Seems to have very troll-ish tendencies. Weird guy. Hard to like at times. His third book was good. -

Hey don't forget that he's the better version of Mookie Betts.

Holy s***, that's the entire game. Um... no thanks. I lived through that. I don't need to relive it. That being said, I listened long enough to hear them mention Stieb being dropped from the rotation by Williams that year. I remember that happening and then him coming back into the rotation. Looking at his game log, it seems like he only made two relief appearance and the second one was an emergency first inning replacement that essentially brought him right back into the rotation. That made me look as his stats. He had a 1.32 K/BB which by today's standards is pretty bad and I guess would somewhat vindicate Williams' decision but it turns out his career K/BB was only 1.61 and this is a guy who for most of his career was the ace of the staff. It really was a different era back then and it doesn't seem like Stieb was that bad by his own standards and those of the era. Williams was a weird crotchety old coot who made oddball decisions so it was probably more Williams being Williams that prompted that bizarre little turn.

His free agent record isn't that bad. It really depends on what year you're looking at. The 2012-2013 featured a lot of decent low to medium risk signings that worked out well. Mike Napoli 3.9 fWAR David Ross 0.8 fWAR (in only 36 games) Shane Victorino 5.9 fWAR Stephen Drew 3.4 fWAR Koji Uehara 3.1 fWAR He also got a 26 million two year extension on Ortiz good, signed Ryan Dempster and Jonny Gomes (meh) and did the aforementioned Hanrahan trade (bad). Overall, a very good off-season. Seems like he got pressured into making higher risk moves later on.
