  1. It's a shame, I was going to post JP as a joke yesterday... Rasmus for me today.
  2. A computer can't calculate PRODUKSHUN bro! But seriously if it's not too much trouble mind recapping the main ideas for someone with slow internet?
  3. Isn't this an amazing deal for the Astros? Or has he been struggling really bad or getting injured a lot? If this is last year's Altuve then it's a freaking steal.
  4. Yeah it is unfortunate but looking like it. I also agree about the Dodgers deal being really helpful to their payroll flexibility so kudos to him on that.
  5. I wasn't questioning that part, you do realize that Yunel doesn't live in Cuba? Or for that matter has to request a bunch of permits just to visit.
  6. True, but although managers do play somewhat of a role they have a good core like it was already mentioned, in my personal opinion I never like trading a manager for a player since you can just sign the manager and keep the player, I might understand just giving up some random never-will-make-it player but to give away a utility man like Aviles might be too much IMO.
  7. Cherington has had a fair share of questionable moves though. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't trades like the Lowrie and Reddick ones considered pretty bad? Also there's the fact that he traded a decent utility guy for a manager.
  8. This guy's not a winner; sub .500 record are you serious? Proven winners win championships.
  9. I agree, I was being a bit extreme there, I just hope he doesn't become the next Verlander so the trade doesn't always come back to remind us of what a bad deal it was.
  10. Lol yeah in that scenario I see that you have to pump him up to future buyers, or just for the sheer feeling of telling everyone to suck it.
  11. I have nothing against the guy, but am I the only that secretly wishes he blows out his arm and d'Arnaud can't ever play a game at catcher anymore? I just need some comfort, because if they both become stars I don't know how we'll be able to cope with it. Again, nothing against either guy, loved them while they were here and the farm still looked promising. On the bright (sort of) side, if they do become stars then it exposes the horrible deal to even casuals of the colossal failure of that trade.
  12. Oh yeah, I'm really loving the way the team is performing, the terrible offseason moves, losing all the prospects for old, injury prone players on giant contracts, I'm all smiles. Seriously, the O's pitching as a whole is terrible, and you honestly can't say that isn't true without letting hatred cloud your judgement. They still have one of the best offenses in the MLB. So what, you think the Yankees' team is all stars too?
  13. Dude, let's not cloud our eyes with hatred towards our own team, the O's rotation is absolute garbage, ours is miles better if the pitchers were only performing 75% of their usual (Johnson, Dickey for example).
  14. This isn´t the NL West, one push doesn`t get you even close in our division, even if we were to win 11 straight once again our chances keep looking dim. It makes sense to NOT get a rental player, however, for those ruling out the likes of Garza (if he is even being considered), a good player with a reasonable extension for a reasonable package (this is obviously the hard part) I`m sure would be the org`s intention, likely not happening though.
  15. Did it look intentional? Is it brawl worthy? Stare Shaw down Bautista, ALA Robertson.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
