    Might need to use my ignore list for the first time... Dec-10.... Dec-10.... Dec-10...

    I find it hard to believe this many people still don't understand that it takes two to tango, and constantly pin failed targets on the jays.
  3. Pulk_Pull
    Not sure how I'd feel about a move like that... Yanks would have to give up something significant and the Cubs ain't no fool.
  4. Pulk_Pull
    I think the constant mentions of 'adding depth' by Shapiro and the $3.9 mil owed to Smoak is a pretty clear indication that this team isn't looking at adding a big splash, or a starting 1B. The addition of a Chris Davis would be a precursor to something else, but as others have pointed, the one piece that you would want to move would need to approve of a trade. Just doesn't make sense in terms of the current offseason, team makeup and the god damn source.... Berger has been freelance for years now. There's a reason no one wants him.

    Damn, I thought I accidentally clicked on the 'Offseason Roster' thread given the amount of bitching and assumptions being made with regards to how the Jays are operating this offseason. Would of love Iwa on that deal but I Jays had no shot given the West Coast nature of the deal. Almost everything else feels like a bit much. I would take potentially take Sipp on that deal assuming Cecil gets a big payday next year somewhere else. I would of also liked the Cahill deal but again, who knows what the other factors are. It's not like he would be guaranteed a rotation spot or viewed Toronto as a value building org. Lowe's deal isn't terrible given it is short term but there are other RHP bullpen pieces in the sea.

    Mlbtr projected him at 2 mil... Would love to see a source for 4 mil http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/projected-arbitration-salaries-for-2016.html

    First move under the new regime that has me scratching my head.

    I don't see being negative as a trolling offence. Troll's can only eat what you feed them. That's what the IL is for.
  9. Pulk_Pull
    Happy to tender both. Every-time I hear the 'trade Revere' remark I remember what last Mat/June was like in LF and shudder. Furthermore, the idea that Pompey is ready for 150+ games of MLB ball is far from set in stone.

    The money argument gets thrown out the door when the majority of 'professional' baseball players barely make ends-meat while travelling in the minor leagues. Just like any industry, there are the few that will profit greatly and the majority will earn significantly less. Saying baseball players make too much is just as naive as saying actors make too much when the majority of actors have to work 2-3 jobs to earn room and board outside of the bit roles they get on a random cop drama.

    "Star" in big quotations

    Blue Jays offseason just getting all those Toronto sports fans ready for the Raptors upcoming offseason where they will fail to land a big fish as well.
  13. Pulk_Pull
    Nah, Price is one of the top free agents for a reason. I'd of rather watched the BoSox hand over significant money to Cueto or Zimmerman than Price on sheer talent alone. Yeah we may end up reaping the rewards of lost value in 3-4 years, but this is our chance to contend, and facing Price 3-4 times a year is gonna suck. Also, nice call by MLBTR (aside from the team)... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/2015-16-top-50-mlb-free-agents-with-predictions.html
  14. Pulk_Pull
    How did they 'officially' get worse? Price had no ties to this team anymore, whatsoever. Are we taking into account how the Jays got 'officially' better when they resigned Estrada and brought in Happ? Red Sox got better, for sure, but I'd avoid tying any form of subtraction from the Jays to this deal.... unless you somehow thought he was coming back.
  15. Pulk_Pull
    I'm sure they sat down with him or floated numbers to his agent. Once they were told they were WAY off in terms of years and money, there was no reason to offer a formal contract. Heck, I bet this happened IN season and they went into the offseason knowing it was never going to happen. The Toronto love BS was great value building but ultimately so transparent. The fact that the org didn't respond to any of the reports told you all you needed to know about how the Jays felt about their chances on bringing back Price.

    How long do we give before the gun aim is moved from Rogers' temple to Price's head? I'll go 24 hours... at some point tomorrow there will be a rise of 'I thought he liked it here?', right after a Lecava interview where he states that they were interested but not at that cost.
  18. Pulk_Pull
    I wouldn't go that far. They just got better, but the AL East will still be a dog fight. I expect the Red Sox to get a ton of Vegas bumps and subsequent action.
  19. Pulk_Pull
    Jays are a couple injuries away from being bottom dwellers in the division, so don't rag on Boston for the same lack of depth if you're going to say the Jays and Yanks are easily better. Three horse race in this division with lots of offseason left to go, IMO. Rays are always dangerous cause they are ninja like.
  20. Pulk_Pull
    Unlimited was hyperbole, but you get my point. $30 in the context of $200 mil is very different than $30 mil in the context of $140 mil.
  21. Pulk_Pull
    The bottom line is that this makes sense for a team that can afford the luxury tax. The Leafs, Lakers, Knicks, etc. would be doing this if they could. Heck the Nets tried and failed hard in the soft cap NBA. So I can see this as a net-positive for a team like the BoSox, even if they don't earn all their money back 'value' wise. They can afford to eat value if it means a front of the line player. However, if you apply the same deal in a budget team's payroll, it looks ridiculous, borderline insane (Exhibit A: http://www.spotrac.com/mlb/miami-marlins/); and if you apply it to a mid-tier team like the Blue Jays, it looks like a poor use of valuable 'salary space'. Therefore, I view this as one giant MEH. It makes sense for a team like Boston and in the grand scheme of things, shouldn't hinder them too much. This type of deal would be disaster for a team like the Jays or similar salary restricted team. So overall, meh. Just sucks it's in the AL East...

    http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/verlaju01.shtml Two +7.5 WAR years followed by.... It's just not prudent to sign aging pitchers to this kind of contract. But for a team like the Red Sox with a somewhat unlimited payroll, it's not as big of a deal.
  23. Pulk_Pull
    Probably
  24. Pulk_Pull
    Anyone now applying 'hindsight' on the Price trade really didn't fully grasp that he was never coming back.
  25. Pulk_Pull
    Would be happier if it were the Cubs but we knew the BoSox would be in on someone. Assuming $31 mil next year, going into 2016 the Sox have $90 million tied up in Hanley, Panda, Porcello and Price.... or more cash in 4 players than 8 team paid their entire roster in 2015. I'm ok with this.
