  1. I hate that Hutch got injured, he was looking like a sure-thing-3rd starter at the time, with some good pitching a very good #4 or 5. Increased velocity, control wasn't an issue, fastball command always seemed spot-on, and the offspeed were starting to work as well, f*** injuries.
  2. Lol hey bro, just trying to get some posts in on an interesting discussion. Still going to be hard to post on a regular basis but at least I might get one or two posts in on occasion. Great job on the GDT's btw.
  3. I know the Jays have a lot of support, but it's going to be hard for Delabar to make it with a Yankee in there, the Yankees have a massive fanbase, if Jeter wasn't injured I'm sure he would have made it again by a landslide no matter how good or bad he was playing. Don't rule out the Sox either, good fanbase plus savezz is not a good combination in Delabar's favor.
  4. I don't really agree with this reasoning at all. I mean, if you're the Marlins' GM you at least have to hope that by getting better prospects maybe some rich old billionaire would take interest in the team, buy it and give them a decent payroll. It doesn't make any sense to want worse players just because they won't earn as much money as other more valuable ones. Sure if the Dodgers just decided to give away Greinke they probably couldn't afford him but if you get a prospect you have some controllable years in them and then worst case scenario trade them for more prospects when their FA years come up. No team's strategy should ever be to purposely acquire bad players in exchange for good ones just for the sake of paying them little.
  5. I actually appreciate what the Marlins have been doing so far even though their owners are complete snakes. I admire getting rid of their highest paid players for prospects, valuable young players and other valuable players (like Escobar), it's absolutely a kick in the balls to the fans for making them think the team was serious for a year and then just went ahead and traded everyone when it all failed, but still as far as realizing their mistake and trying to capitalize by getting good young players it's a smart move. However, while I don't know much of the players in return, I think trading a solid pitcher like Nolasco for what appears to be 2 relievers and a 23 year old pitcher in the low minors is not very good for them, I'm sure a team desperate to compete (like the Dodgers themselves) or one looking to solidify their rotation (Orioles, Rangers (though Daniels is hard to trade with)) could have offered a better package. I get it, obvious salary dump, but like I said the players in return could've been better.
  6. Mark Buerhle's a bulldog bro. He gets out there everyday, doesn't give a s***, might give up 5 runs or none, you can book on 6+ innings, pinpoint control, not trying to blow anyone by, and yet still racks up the occasional K. #Bulldogmentality
  7. Born there. Also, did JP just take a walk?!?!?! Or is it just that the boxscore guy is really hitting the booze hard?
  8. I haven't got a clue, just speaking out of experience.
  9. NEVER GO TO THE STADIUM ON CAMP DAY!!! It's the worst thing in the world and the damn kids will scream obnoxiously loud for everything!! At least the game I went on was a good one because I don't think I could have handled any kind of loss.
  10. So I check in and Bautista hits a HR, good stuff. And now Edwin with the walk, awesome! Keep it going here.
  11. Sanchez + Osuna (is he eligible to be traded already?) + Lind for Utley and Howard. Am I doing it right AA? Seriously looking back at the offseason trades...I can find peace with the Marlins one but Dickey for d'Arnaud and Syndergaard? That one's the stinger. Edit: It wasn't supposed to be a reply but whatever, I agree about the Rasmus part, while he may be inconsistent he always has good power and good range in CF, certainly better than the scrubs we were throwing out there before we acquired him.
  12. Top 10 catchers, especially ones with 1 average to above average tools for the position shouldn't be in this discussion, not fair to the rest.
  13. Trout can post the same value, if not more. All are controllable for a few years (Puig's under contract so it's a bit different) while Miggy earns the bucks and surely to be near Pujols level when his next FA year comes by. Edit: This was a response to Dick_Pole's post.
  14. I agree with this, IMO Trout and Harper will be really close value-wise (pending health issues of course), one's got easily 5 tools, the other has crazy power and the other 5 above-average at least tools in which he can and probably will improve upon. Machado's great but I think he may be a notch below the first two. Puig's got a SSS and while I would love for my fellow countryman to keep it going he's likely not going to, however he's also fairly young and could really continue to make an impact on the league, so hopefully he still can carry out like Cespedes once his numbers start to drop to realistic measures.
  15. Thanks bro. Dangerous to see Kinsler back in the lineup, so hopefully Dickey works the heat.
  16. Wasn't Lindblom a reliever? Texas going with what they have I guess.
  17. Hey bro, awesome GDT as per usual. Sorry to completely miss your post last night, was typing in a hurry, I'm hoping to post more but it's tough. How's the knuckler looking guys? Good to see Lind staying hot!
  18. I know it's just fun teasing bro haha. No offense to spanky (and a lot of hockey enthusiasts) but I tend to agree with the last part
  19. I see, would be nice for him to make a name for himself, I'm sure he's got the stuff to do it as you mentioned. Thanks.
  20. Nice to have some representation lol. But yeah hope they keep it going, how's Fernandez doing in Miami? I remember watching last year's Futures Games, nice velo.
  21. I don't really know how this works but put EE down for me tomorrow. Are there backups in case players are given days-off? In that case it would be Rasmus.
