    He is no Edwin Jackson but this hefty lefty looks pretty solid.
  2. BigCecil
    OMG....99 with that late movement inside on LHH. Yikes.
  3. BigCecil
    Love me some change up back to back.

    Whats up Spank? How is the health? Saw a post on facebook awhile ago about a medical issue. Gonna ignore clickbait post from Terminator ^ lol Hit me up on twitter and lets go at it lol. 124 ish days and counting.

    Haven’t been around in awhile. Just focussed on other things. Respect this forum and there are a lot of very smart posters, whether I agree with them or not all the time is irrelevant. I vent my political spleen on the cesspool also known as twitter and the occasional PM exchange with Terminator lol. Who is good guy. I think this is a wise move by the moderators. Focus on sports. Looking forward to MLB this year. Fingers crossed. Have started coaching Little League in Calgary again and thrilled the kids look they will get some form of a modified season in.

    Vlad “woke up”. LOL. Who gives a f*** about spring training. The ball was destroyed.

    Please please stay healthy Nate. This is f***ing delicious to watch. Kind of reminds me of when Thor came up, only he was wearing the wrong jersey.

    I’m soooo happy about this. His lifetime WAR and consistency. Just incredible given some of the injuries. The coors field argument was always a f***ing joke. His park adjusted stats are HOF worthy. Especially with some of the lesser players they have let in. So proud of him. So cool. Long long overdue.

    Was shocked to hear this last night. In the am I read the rumour and quickly dismissed it. I’m a mix of excited plus a bit of a pit in the stomach. If he can stay relatively healthy he is a big add for quality stability. Beats Edwin Jackson. It’s a gutsy signing. We had lots of $ room for this and it’s got to make our young players feel more a little more confident about the org stepping up. Merry Christmas all!

    LOL....I wasn't going to say it but that's what I was thinking too.

    Hadn't been following the A's closely but watched Hendricks close a tough game. Consistently 98-100 MPH 4S. Hi avg 2019 FB V is 96.4. Way over his career and a couple ticks over the last few years. 13 K/9 WTF happened? I haven't followed him closely this year. Anyone know what he attributes it to? Also, good for him.

    JD seems like a dickhead, but I love watching him play, and respect his competitiveness. If the Braves are on I never turn the channel. He is still a hell of a ballplayer. I doubt he would ever come back to this FO. I just wish we would have moved him in 2017 at deadline or summer. I always wonder if Rogers stopped the FO from making that move. Its hard to conclude his 2017 value would increase incrementally more in '18.
  13. BigCecil
    no and yes

    I did not say Toronto FO was stupid as evidenced by Grichuk ext. Can’t we even discuss the merits of deals without going to extreme. I understand what their rationale likely was. It’s kind of obvious. It was questionable and so I’m raising the question. They made a similar move with Smoak although not as long term and at the time I questioned it. Turned out to be decent value. That’s what we do here. We debate and discuss these things. Sometimes moves work out and sometimes they don’t. I’m not one to ping pong into pendulum determinations of brilliance or stupidity based on one deal.
  15. BigCecil
    That's good analysis, thankfully they didn't extend Sogard lol We got the pumpkin in 19 alright and worse than he projected. We will see what '20 holds. Bottom line for me is why give a 2 WAR player 5/52 when, according to your numbers, he has an 80% probability of maintaining 2 war or being a pumpkin. 2 WAR is not something to lock up in a rebuild. Is it? now we have Fisher (who is a phenom 5 tool with great "handedness") and Teoscar all in that same category.....and I forgot McKinney who they already had. Maybe its nit picking. Just doesn't seem smart to me.
  16. BigCecil
    Grichuk and his 0.3 WAR and 84 wRC+ is looking like a complete boat anchor. Lots of fans hoping on a big 2nd half splurge never really got it. I hate watching his ABs. Not the worst deal with that term/AAV, but it makes you wonder "why extend him?" when they pass on others.
  17. BigCecil
    Lol. Like about 10000 others off of verlander at 96 when you have to respect his other filth. Well we just saw more history from one of the best I’ll ever see.
  18. BigCecil
    Really have to respect what verlander keeps doing in this game, as tough as it is. Straight to the HOF.
  19. BigCecil
    Vlad has a cannon.
  20. BigCecil
    Well if it had to be anyone glad it was rookie Cdn. f***.
  21. BigCecil
    It only gets harder as you age to keep weight off in my experience. I turned 54 yesterday and have slowly climbed back up to 200 from 185 ish. My 6 pack is turning into a keg. It sucks. If I'm not focussed on proper eating and regular exercise I cant keep it off like I could when younger. And yes, even losing just 20 lbs would make a demonstrative impact to the positive for him Org. 25 lbs that much better. He would still punish the ball.
  22. BigCecil
    Its been said but his body type is likely never going to be ripped and lean...never was. Doubt he ever will be. Having said that, he would serve himself and team well to lose some of the extra he is carrying around. As BTS said, I played Cdn college football (badly) at 225 ish and then went just under 180 later in life. I couldn't stay as that weight lol, but I felt immeasurably better when lighter. I can't imagine being a pro athlete over 162 gms trying to perform, carrying around the extra he does, superfluous to his tasks on the diamond.

    Atkins so gushingly oversold Fisher it’s almost going to be impossible for the guy to ever meet the ceiling inferred. Reece continues to drive ball.
  24. BigCecil
    Team is too legit these days. f***ing up our draft pick selections lol. Nice shot Reece.
  25. BigCecil
    Lol. What’s up Gov? Long time. Ya after Buck said that I had to look up his stats. Nope. Same old Pillar. He is even walking less than usual if that’s possible.
