KingKat

Do the calendar dates line up?

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I'm not trying to disingenuously torpedo someone else's asset. I still have residual attachment to the guy and my catching isn't great so if I could find the appeal, I might do something. I wish I could see more there than I do.

I'm struggling to figure out Travis D'arnaud's fantasy appeal at this point. He's 27. In theory, he should be peaking offensively but if this is his offensive peak than he's just not going to provide value in the fake game (real game might be a different story but that's irrelevant).

Yeah I mean if the idea is to replace production from EE, you should at least try to sign EE for a smaller deal before contemplating taking on the Votto deak especially since it's doubtful that EE would lift his nose at a competitive offer from the place where he's had the most success. EE can realistically be signed (and by Toronto specifically) to a smaller deal than Votto's.

How exactly did he get the job? Did Vizcaino just s*** the bed? I'd be all for acquiring a low end closer and sneaking him past the off-season cut if there was a reasonable chance of him keeping the job.

Well I'm only KingKat so this is what you get... http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/56/56b000400d9f3f564c07b5f2d6f159fa71c41a49885923ec4679d813ce81da7f.jpg

Pillar back AND Tepera gone! That's a double yes.

Then why did you bump it?

It's not exactly a new phenomenon.

Article says chlamydia and genital herpes.

So did Canada screw up by not giving him the ball? I'm unclear on the rules for starting pitchers. I thought it was a one game on, one game off rule.

Not looking good. Is this the same pitcher who went against Japan?

This is an elimination game right?

Prospects in cold weather states and/or Canada get less exposure.

Yeah I mean I get that but if so what's the injury and what's the recovery? That's the millions dollar question.

In a pure sense, Harper is better but he's also a mystery. What the hell happened and is it reversible? I'm not ready to write off the possibility that he's the best player in baseball.

Likewise.

Oh super old. Louis says that he's 39 in the bit. I have been listening to a lot of his old bits lately.

It's a funny bit. I was glad to have an opening to post it.

Maybe I'm the world's most boring person but this is basically how I feel. Cheating seems like way, way more trouble than it's worth.

I don't have the numbers handy but IIRC the context neutral difference in WPA between a walk and a single is fairly small.

I'm hope Boxy's team is motivated to kick my ass back into the lottery. I have nothing to win, he has nothing to lose.

All the good faith washed away in the time between the bat flip and the punch.

It's good to remember that some guys aren't even drafted yet at 21 year old. He's not a prospect I particularly like but he's not a write off by any means.
