    I was thinking of this but can't see Miami doing it. Considering Ozuna and them had a falling out a couple of years ago I think he would be more attainable. Maybe you can get something done with Happ+ a prospect.

    Take with a grain of salt its from Pleskoff. He also spelled his first headline "SRENGTHS" which you just have to laugh at.

    Sports gods exist. Dee Gordon with the homer this year, Kobe and Jeter in their final games..
  4. burlingtonbandit
    Made a list of 5 and for some reason didn't even think of them lol. Although I wouldn't take Russ over any of those 5.

    Anyone would take him at 3/45 in a second. He had a wRC+ of 160 and 148 before this year and even 122 this year was respectable. Watch him bounce back and be a 130 or higher WRC+ the nextfew years as a DH. Not having to play the field will really help his health.
  6. burlingtonbandit
    I agree, Todd.

    I've been setting my lineups..

    Craig Anderson with a SO his first game back since finding out his wife had cancer. Remarkable moment.

    Fun Question: If you are starting a franchise today who do you take? You would be getting the player at the age they are at now. Curry Lebron Towns Davis Kawai For me its either Kawai or Towns.
  10. burlingtonbandit
    That would be a huge shock to everyone in the industry. I see Houston being a good fit for him.
  11. burlingtonbandit
    Weren't they 25-1 before the season started?
  12. burlingtonbandit
    Maddon getting out managed here. Lackey should not be leading off.
  13. burlingtonbandit
    Also got to tell Contreras not to move his glove 4 inches after he catches the ball. Ump won't give you a call if keep doing that.
  14. burlingtonbandit
    lol "Goddammit" from Lackey. That pitch was inside shut the f*** up/
  15. burlingtonbandit
    Lackey is so annoying. Guy just yells and swears at his teammates and the umpire when things don't go perfectly. Shut up and pitch better.
  16. burlingtonbandit
    It would have to be as a DH. He's worse than Bautista and Saunders in the OF.

    Your right the game time wouldn't matter but rather the commerical time. I think this is where MLB rights would be worth a lot more than NHL since there are only 3 commercials per period in the NHL vs MLB which is after every half inning. A lot of NHL ad time is in intermission when a lot of people either change the channel or go do something else. In terms of total time this site said 42 Min of Ad time for MLB and 30 for NHL. If the rights were on the open market I'd take the over $125 in a heartbeat. I'd have to think TSN and SN push the number over the estimated market value just to get the contract kind of like the NHL. Kind of moot since it won't happen as long as Rogers is owning the team but its fun to dream on.

    Where did you get 300 National Games from? There are 2 National time slots on Saturday and Wednesday and 1 on Sunday for 5/week. Even including the playoffs thats a lot less. I mean the Senators received around $30 Million for their regional deal with TSN for 52 games and they get around 200K viewers/game. http://www.silversevensens.com/2014/1/29/5358602/is-the-ottawa-senators-new-tv-deal-the-beginning-of-a-robot-hockey You can't forget the Blue Jays deal gets the postseason as well where they were averaging over 3 Million/game. Add in the fact baseball games are also 30 min longer than a hockey game and I think you could agree under 100 Million is not fair. Especially when we see how much money other regional TV rights go for around sports.
  19. burlingtonbandit
    Well it doesn't really matter what rights it gives because the Blue Jays draw comparable numbers in terms of viewers. HNIC usually is around 2 million (which combines all the games across CBC and SN) and the Sunday night in the 500-700K range. I mean obviously Rogers paid a ton in order to shut TSN out but I don't think anyone is claiming the Blue Jays should get 500 Million per season but even 40% of that seems fair.
  20. burlingtonbandit
    Well Rogers paid $500 Million for the NHL deal so that should give you a better comparison to what a Canadian viewer is worth. You could argue the Blue Jays deal is more valuable since its 162 games/year plus postseason and ST. I think Rogers gets 3 nights/ week for the NHL season with a doubleheader for Saturday and Wednesdays. I don't think anyone is claiming the Blue Jays should get $500 Million for their TV deal from Rogers but $150-200 Million seems to be more attainable and Rogers would still be raking in the $. I think I read the dynamic ticket pricing was worth an extra $20 Million so that should help bump it up as well. The thing I don't understand is if Rogers can see the benefits of what a winning team provides so why would they not spend an extra 30 or 40 Million to keep that momentum going?

    Remember when you said it was a Lock the Warriors were going to win LOL
  22. burlingtonbandit
    anyone have a stream?
  23. burlingtonbandit
    John Manuel really has no idea what the payroll would be. He covers every team so he's likely just pulling a number out of his ass.
  24. burlingtonbandit
    Seems like he doesn't have a great relationship with a lot of players or FOs in general.
  25. burlingtonbandit
    He said the AL.
