I was going to complain about Posey over DeGrom (and I'd probably still put DeGrom higher), but I realized that even after this year, the Giants will have a 28 year old Posey on a 6/130 contract. What a great extension.
-
If the contract that they initially signed him for expires prior to him having enough service time to become a free agent, he'd be arb-eligible just like anybody else with less than six years of service.

Well that's concerning. And it explains the low K's.

But how was that a mirage? There are average to extremely good defenders at every position outside of LF and 1B, and left field is only in that mess because Saunders was injured. You can fault them for not having a contingency in place beyond that, but Pillar was supposed to be that contingency, and Carrera was to back him up. Like you said, a Pompey promotion should remedy that, but you can't complain about them not having re-promoted him yet. Don't tell me that a team who regularly employs Kevin Pillar and Ryan Goins doesn't understand the merits of good defense.

So Colabello and Reyes each provide a net deficit of -4.0 WAR every five games? To be honest, that's actually pretty epic. You're right, but Dickey is still s*** despite that.

AA Approval Rating (All-Star Break)
TwistedLogic replied to North of 60's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Actually I agree completely. And it should be an even bigger credit that he actually listens to those people. For a guy to step into a front office after being a baseball player himself, it's very redeeming that he was able to embrace statistics and people who knew more than him, rather than religiously stick to scouting. It's more than most GMs could say. The problem that exists though, is that when the smartest of those smart people someday leave, how does he pick up the pieces? Signing Billy Butler to a three-year contract two weeks after Farhan Zaidi leaves your organization (and trading Donaldson two weeks after that) does not incite a ton of optimism in that regard. The Athletics front office is probably a very good one, but Billy Beane is probably not a very good general manager. -
AA Approval Rating (All-Star Break)

Decent chance that Billy Beane is a terrible GM who just surrounds himself with very smart people. -
Hoffman wants to be with one team like Jeter http://ryanisaac.ca/hoffman-wants-1-team-like-jeter/ For his part, the former ECU Pirate is more than happy to emerge from the off-season as a Blue Jay, and looks forward to remaining one well into the future. “Obviously I’m very happy,” the Shaker High School alumni said smiling. “I’d like to stick with the same team for a career like Derek Jeter did, that’d be pretty cool.”

You take pictures of women right after you've banged them? Kinda creepy.

Or Bautista needs to learn to shut the f*** up. If he does that, he's still in the game, regardless of how s***** the umps are.

What did Zaun say? I have an MLB.TV stream.

This is the best thing that could have happened to this thread. Gracias.

Someone please fix the atrocious title of this thread. It's so painful seeing it get bumped every other week.

2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.
TwistedLogic replied to jays4life19's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Are you joking? The idiots that are campaigning to trade Bautista and Edwin might be stupid, but they can't be stupid enough to think that the team would still contend in 2015 without them. Which means they're ready to tank in 2015 and set their sights on 2016, and in 2016, the Blue Jays have Stroman, Hutchison, Sanchez, Norris, Boyd and Osuna all ready for the majors, with maybe Castro and Hoffman on the way. How the hell is this team lacking controllable, MLB ready arms going into next season? -
2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.
TwistedLogic replied to jays4life19's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
So basically, they should trade the best of what they have, at positions where they have nothing else, for what they already have in excess? That and that alone is the way to Jays salvation?
