    Yeah any hope that he would just seemingly flick a switch like Grilli did has been dashed. He's definitely a work in progress. Thankfully, Stroman has re-established himself lately so the team doesn't need a much from Liriano as they would have otherwise.

    Stuff like that is the cost for players to learn the new rules. It's just part of the learning curve.
  3. KingKat
    I don't know if that's real but it's fantastic.

    Moogy doesn't write anything like Stoeten.
  5. KingKat
    More Robocop for me...

    This seems like a massive understatement.
  8. KingKat
    The team probably wants to be a bit more flexible, not as focused on pitching.

    Well maybe defense wasn't his strength exactly but the fact that he was a safe bet to stick at the position was considered a strength if that makes more sense.

    If I lived in a glass house, I wouldn't leave either.
  11. KingKat
    It's a shame too because at the draft that was considered his strength. Can't predict injuries though.

    The golf cart brings back memories of the era of cavernous astroturf dumps. Seems like those were always the places that used them. I suppose since you didn't live through that era, it wouldn't have any negative connotations for you.
  13. KingKat
    Please no. Bullpen golf carts look so derpy. I mean c'mon these are athletes. They can do the slow jog. I doubt the time saved is all that significant.

    This is KLaw's m.o. to at T. If the guy wasn't so full of himself he might actually stop repeating this mistake. The self defeating arrogance is stunning.
  15. KingKat
    Hum... KLaw disses him. Promising.

    Tony Barnette available to someone who needs holds. Matt Joyce to someone who could use a .900 OPS outfielder. Also dangling Adam Conley for anyone who could use a young SP. Pretty open as far as the return goes. It doesn't HAVE to be Puig, it could be something far less despairing.

    Gibby has his runs ins but with the exception of Shea they boil over. Lilly and him were tight and Pillar and him seem to have buried the hatchet a long time ago. Both Lilly and Pillar were being idiots and I think they know that.

    I don't think this means they didn't think he was good enough. It just means that they think that given the same amount of time, someone else might do better but not necessarily someone else coming in cold. I mean as you said, it's not like he didn't have successes.

    Jeff Sullivan doesn't present it as anything other than the statistical quirk it is and I don't think too many people here see it differently either. Jonn and a few others is not "the board".
  20. KingKat
    Touché.
  21. KingKat
    It's one of those things where by the time it stabilizes the skill set has likely changed so you can never really know. I suppose you could fill the gap by regressing like you do for platoon splits.
  22. KingKat
    Crazy.

    I don't think Havok's point was that there are too many threads on this board. I think he was just saying that he thought this thread in particular was a clown thread.
  24. KingKat
    Because they're grading on a curve. He's somewhere between actually smart and the blathering fools on sports radio. Depending on where you typically get your Jays commentary, that can be an oasis of common sense.
  25. KingKat
    Trading him for Bradley Zimmer was incredibly dumb in hindsight.
