    Yeah but then there is the risk of having to pay $40 million if he sucks/gets injured this year. If he pitches great, he leaves and you get a comp pick. If not then you get stuck with $40 million. I'd give Iwakuma 3/65 before trading for Shields.

    exactly. Listening to Buck and Pat if you are getting to know baseball will make you think pitching wins are one of the more important stats. You can only learn what you are taught.

    Assuming EE stays at DH his market is a lot smaller. A lot of the big money AL teams have money tied up in 1B/DHs already. Houston seems one of the only clubs that is a fit. Boston would be great but they would have to get rid of Hanley.

    Rays really need to get out of TB. So under appreciated even if going forward their payroll won't let them be a legitimate contender in the AL East. Just getting out of that terrible stadium will make fans everywhere happy.

    Alonso would of been the better option IMO. He's much better vs RHP and with half the strikeouts which I think complements the offence better. Also a very good defensive 1st baseman.

    I didn't realize Delabar was so old. Turns 35!! this season.

    Hopefully Rogers gives an increase to payroll next season so they can pay for more quality. Their revenues should be even higher next year barring the Jays being out of it by September.

    I think the roatation looks pretty s***** for 2017 tbh. Stroman looks good and then you hope Happ and Estrada can be be close to average pitchers. If either of them regress you are looking for 2 SP again the next offseason where there looks to be no good FA SP. And the Jays really don't have any pitching prospects outside of Connor Greene who figure to be ready by then.

    lol even when the Raps do well you hate on them for everything.

    Leagues love it though because it creates more traffic on their websites. They won't be getting rid of it anytime soon.

    Even with how slow he is a half decent bunt up the 3rd baseline with the defender at SS depth gets him a hit.
  13. burlingtonbandit
    his BABIP was pretty low for how many balls he produced hard contact on but the shift I'm sure takes hits away from him. I never understand why players like him don't bunt down the 3rd baseline for a hit more often.

    holy s*** cheapest ticket to the awful Laker game Monday on Stubhub is $165 USD. To put it in perspective you could watch maybe the Greatest NBA team ever 2 nights earlier on a Saturday night for 30-50 bucks cheaper.
  15. burlingtonbandit
    I'm not the biggest fan of his moves to date but this thread is stupid.
  16. burlingtonbandit
    Sure seems like you could acquire a 1 Win 1B for cheaper. Too bad Alonso already got traded.
  17. burlingtonbandit
    For me I like the Happ move. I'm okay with the Estrada and Smoak deals although Ideally you would of liked to upgrade those positions since the floor is pretty low. Didn't like the Chavez move. With the Red Sox moves it does seem to hurt to see the Jays not really doing much though.
  18. burlingtonbandit
    Seems like the Jays could of spent 3.9 more efficiently then on Smoak. I feel like if AA was still in charge the consensus on the board would be that they hate the Jays offseason but since its Shapiro people are letting their bias for him cloud their judgement.
  19. burlingtonbandit
    Why not do both? Get the selected "people's" lists and hold the results until you do a board wide poll. Then you can compare the 2 "lists" if you really want. My guess is it will be pretty close to the same anyways.
  20. burlingtonbandit
    I called this out at the time of trade and people jumped all over me lol.
  21. burlingtonbandit
    Well I'm not convinced Chavez is a much bigger upgrade than Hendriks as a spot starter/long man to justify losing 3 years and 4 million
  22. burlingtonbandit
    And people say the Dodgers didn't want to trade him because of clubhouse concerns lol...
  23. burlingtonbandit
    Bit late to the party but I don't mind the signing. That Chavez deal looks a lot worse now though. You give up 4 years of Hendriks for 1 year of a Chavez-Hutchison upgrade which might not even be an upgrade. Now the team needs a late inning bullpen arm.
  24. burlingtonbandit
    Bautista's contact rates have been almost exactly the same for 5 years. Sure he will decline at some point but he looks like he can maintain the above average-elite offence. EE on the other hand declined in that area last year but the Power was better than previous years.
  25. burlingtonbandit
    If it had to be one I'd probably pick Jose. His contact rates have been very consistent despite his age and his BB/K numbers are elite year after year. Despite his age he has more position flexibility than Edwin.
