    Watching teams like Detroit and KC make the playoffs last year may be influencing decisions...those teams were heavily flawed too.

    It will be interesting to see how quickly fans stop coming. I think they are slower to react than you think. It's a fun place to be now and most casuals don't know the game to anywhere near the level most in here do (even you ). I think even without a significant move, the dome will be relatively full until say mid-July to early August. Unfortunately, we may have the opportunity to find out.

    To be fair - nobody's wanted SF's money the past 4-5 years, but they held out and ended up with Chapman and Snell on good deals late in the offseason last year.

    Feels like SF sneaks in to grab Bregman

    Because Detroit is an elite playoff team with ooodles of potential, star core players that are locked up and is one of the most beautiful places to live and play in America. Honestly - no idea. To be fair, Flaherty wasn't highly sought after last offseason. He'd been often injured in previous years and **** the bed down the stretch for the O's. Torres is a little different. He's coming off a down season, but hit well in the 2nd half and into the playoffs (after making some adjustments). His defense and base running suck balls, but he's still young and should be a quality player for a few more years. I'm surprised he had to take a pillow deal.

    That just doesn't compute. Well done by the Tigers.

    I have to assume he broke Javy Baez's records. Impressive work really.
  9. Brownie19
    **** works. Fantastic.

    I think there's some truth to this. It will be interesting to see what the payroll is during the rebuild. Typically it drops right now, but you could probably really accelerate a rebuild if you kept the payroll up in the $200M - $240M range. As you say, continue to sign short term FA's (while being careful not to block your young players) and deal them at the deadline.

    If we add a backend starter like Lynn and push Yariel to the pen, then Bloss makes a really nice #7 starter on the depth chart.
  12. Brownie19
    You realize you're talking to the dogg...?
  13. Brownie19
    Unfortunately, I suspect it's going to be.

    I also agree the Jays need to just bite the bullet and keep Vlad. As a fan, I have never liked him, but I think you need to lock up a hitting talent like him (despite all the other ****ty things he does and the potential risks). I'd be fine with anything in the $400-$450M range. This is obviously a lot more than the Jays (and fans) likely wanted to pay, but I do agree with the cautious approach the FO took to date (given all the immaturity and inconsistencies). I think it's time to commit.
  15. Brownie19
    No concerns with being disappointed in results and/or FO over the past 4-5 years. But expecting them to pull a magical rabbit out of their hat in the current situation is unrealistic and unreasonable. You may also be horrified at the cost and long term impacts required to pull that all off. Incoming insult in 3, 2, 1...
  16. Brownie19
    That's nice, but it's not like this is some common issue that Vlad is "likely" to suffer from as well because he's overweight...the increased likelihood of Vlad suffering the same issue (as Fielder) over a skinny player is probably like 1.5%.
  17. Brownie19
    The disappointment and anger is going to be unbearable here shortly. Full on Facebook rage as there's almost no chance all the video games moves you guys want are going to happen. Some people may just want to take a year off until they blow this thing up.

    Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. Cheers to some direction for this team in 2025 (and fewer Facebook posts )
  19. Brownie19
    Yeah yeah - we all know he ****ing sucks. Everyone is stoked he's here.
  20. Brownie19
    I'd rather stab myself in the face with a fork.
  21. Brownie19
    Yeah that isn't happening.
  22. Brownie19
    Yeah - when Alonso hit the big HR in the playoffs, I figured the Mets would find a way to keep him long term. He's pretty damn popular for the Mets.
  23. Brownie19
    Do GM's always attend arbitration hearings? I'd have no idea if it's typical to send an assistant or not. The fact Vlad doesn't practice defense in the offseason says a lot - and shows a lot.
  24. Brownie19
    I hope the Mets sign Bregman, Alonso, Burnes, Teo, Hoffman and Scott. I'm curious what happens if they spend twice as much as anyone else.
  25. Brownie19
    The Jays? LOL
