  2. I'm getting ready to celebrate.
  3. At least the most runs Loup can give up on one swing is only 4.
  4. Ya know, if they remade the movie Hackers, Pillar could be the front runner for the starring role.
  5. Oh c'mon, if Evanka wanted it you'd be knuckle deep in seconds
  6. I love the knuckleball. Said no one ever.
  7. Holy s*** its Christmas in July
  8. It's nice to see an ex-jay I don't give a s*** about.
  9. Jays haven't been able to attract free agents in some time, everything from the quality of the team, the quality of the ball park, the pain of customs, the cost of taxes all come in to play for free agents to sign here. Forcing them to come here via trade is sometimes the only option for this team to get quality players. That said, this off season could be very different for the Jays ability to attract free agents.
  10. This is also why AA & company have pretty much stuck to their 5 yr rule, so they don't cripple the club or any future GM coming in to take over. They'd pay more money for less years because in general you just don't know what you're getting yourself into in the later years and when you're talking $20MM+ in those later years, it makes Romero's wasted money look like couch change.
  11. Did you like it when the Jays did jackshit last summer when they were >.500 at the deadline or during the prior offseason for that matter because they had zero money? They actually had players willing to defer money just so they can make a $14MM offer. FYI - you can expect more of that for years to come after signing Price. Sweet
  12. They've been advertising on the radio to business owners and the great 'partnership opportunities for the hottest thing in town', blah blah. You know it's going well when you are pitching to businesses via radio.
  13. I'm guessing Comerica Park, hard to tell.
  14. Here's a $168MM guaranteed contract offer for ya Price. Great thanks Jays. [one day later] Here's a $220MM guaranteed contract Price, go buy yourself a f***ing F-16 when your retire. Awesome, proud to be a Dodger.
  15. Here's the difference. Kershaw ends his contract when he's 32 years old (he can opt out when he's 30). David Price will be starting his contract when he's 30 (turning 31). Scherzer set the bar for what you can expect for Price, however the Nationals did a very wonky deal deferring a s*** load of money for another 10 years or whatever it is. Technically he's getting $42MM/yr in his last 3 years. It's a f***ing mess and Price is going to make a mess for some team's accountant (Hopefully that's not RealAccountant or they are surely f***ed).
  16. It's a pretty accurate educated guess on Price's salary. Even with a backloaded contract he's getting $30MM AAV. Predicting anything less is a terrible bet. You can't just take money out of the equation for a player that is a great fit when he's the most expensive FA option in this offseason. There will be a lot of pitchers available this offseason, many whom will want to come here for once.
  17. Depending how this season finishes, there is also a good possibility that pitchers may actually be attracted here for once in the FA market. We shouldn't only be limited to trying to extend Price compared to exploring the market for better financial options to begin with.

  19. Can you imagine David Price weighing over 300lbs?
  20. If the Jays clinch a post season berth someone needs to stuff Barry Davis into a Gatoraide barrel for the celebration.
