    Does a minor league pick up from the Rule 5 draft count as a selected player or only MLB players?
  2. Governator
    lol FAP contest
  3. Governator
    Giving up a draft pick won't hurt the Jays as they'll get one back when Cabrera walks.

    That's a solid freebie.

    1) This isn't a waiver pick up... it's a trade. 2) Hendricks has no options left to move him to AAA for depth unless he passes waivers where he can get claimed in which case we give up Nessy for nothing.

    Firstly he's accumulated a 3.4 fwar over the last 2 seasons (4.2 bwar). His war this season was on par last year while playing 33% less since being a platoon. I would lose sleep if Lind was scratched for a full-time replacement level player. Hell, I don't want to see replacement level players on the roster at all unless a fire sale is upon us. It should be the complete opposite if this team wants to win.
  8. Governator
    No options left? Prepare for fire sale in 3.. 2.. 1.

    Pretty sure there aren't too many Top 10 payrolls with < league average ticket costs. How do you define a below average product anyway? They've been a winning team for the majority of those years. If they increase ticket sales by 15% but lose 1000-2000 fans / game directly from doing so (which is unlikely considering it's the product of the team that sells tickets here period) then they'd still turn a solid profit making it +EV for the business. You want grass installed right? Well there's a cost for that.
  10. Governator
    Relax... it's been like 5 years since they've increased ticket costs and they are well below league average. Pretty sure most employees have had a couple of raises in those times. It's not the cost of tickets stopping fans from going to Jays games.

    I think too many of you undervalue Melky while overlooking Toronto's inability to attract free agents.
  12. Governator
    hence the "at least 3 year deal"...
  13. Governator
    I don't know about the beer part, considering it's very much stadium to stadium with different sizes. However, they obviously found something and converted it to US dollars as no other park is a .82 cost. They are .50 or .00.

    Obviously a surplus of shorter batters these days.
  16. Governator
    Do you think a Saunders + Gose puts up a combined WAR greater than Melky + Rasmus++ of this past season? Forget the argument that it saves a few bucks for other areas, it's irrelevant to me if we're not improving.
  17. Governator
    I think our infield being all turf is more of a disgrace than having turf over grass.
  18. Governator
    Ah.. finally something sig worthy.

    Mattingly has been there for 3 years, they won the division last year after increasing payroll from sub $100MM to over $200MM. They continued to poor money in to them, this year the highest payroll in MLB history. Betting odds preseason had them winning the WS and I'm certain the owners expected more than another division clinch. It wouldn't surprise me if they canned him for accountability since someone has to take blame and they sure won't put the loss on Kershaw.
  20. Governator
    I'd say Mattingly #1. Ausmus had no bullpen to manage properly but he'll still likely get canned.
  21. Governator
    "High payroll" also has no limits when the stupid MLB thinks the luxury tax line at $189MM is appropriate. It allows teams with large pockets and big revenue to be so flexible with any contract that it's borderline stupid. It doesn't mean they are trying to buy championships but more likely that they are incapable of managing such big money. With that in mind, it's hard to define success with high payrolls when only 2 teams are exceeding what MLB considers acceptable spending limits.
  22. Governator
    Giants did pretty good.
  23. Governator
    Yea I listened to most of it. I'd like him to explain why players were willing to defer money to try and land Santana, who they desperately wanted and clearly weren't getting more from Rogers for.
  24. Governator
    This isn't true.
  25. Governator
    Right. Except I'd prefer Hardy over most 2B options avail this year. I like a guy who's put up all of his stats playing out of the East and one of the better defensive options on the market. Add to that his lower cost seems like a good fit.
