214 wins. More than Doc and 5 less than Pedro Martinez. 55 less than Jamie Moyer.

Really is too bad the Jays didn't get him 2 more innings in 2015 so he could finish his career with 15 straight 200+ inning seasons. I was originally a huge White Sox fan back in the early 2000's and I always loved MB. I'd actually forgotten how good he was for the Jays. Very solid over 3 seasons at the end of his career. Great career, but he's no HOFer.

Does anyone know what the TV audience is for college baseball in the US v. college basketball/football? I suspect it's rather s***** (much like hockey). Why is that? You'd think that improving the exposure and interest at the college level would help grow the sport a lot.

What are these opinions based on?
-
Well that couldn't have gone any worse for the poor guy. 1 completion and he only ran the ball twice himself? A lot of couch potatoes sitting at home wondering if they could have done better.
-
He was 10th in DRS and 9th in Fangraph's Def rankings last year (for second basemen). Short season but yes, he was very solid defensively at 2nd.

Excellent point. No idea how you keep Tabby and cut Wilner. -

That's a fair take. He definitely over did it at times, but man - can you imagine taking those calls day after day? I'd go insane. -

Unpopular opinion, but I liked Wilner as the PBP voice. I also loved how he s*** all over all the morons who called into the post game show. The world needs knights like Wilner who consistently s*** on people with uneducated opinions. -
Damn - that Fisher Cats hat is awesome. You can show me any picture you want - this isn't a kid who's worked out a lot in his career. If he does, and builds muscle, there's a chance he realizes even more potential IMO (v. a top prospect who is already chiseled like Yasiel Puig)
-
I don't know man - it's pretty obvious he hasn't been on any sort of strict workout routine in his life. He's built like a milk bag. Vlad can tell you about that time he flipped a tire or did a couple of curls, but it's pretty obvious he underestimated the effort required to maintain the body of a professional athlete. Hopefully he's learned his lesson and has adjusted his lifestyle to sustain some long term improvements.
-
That's pretty scary in it's own right. One of the best prospects of all time who's put little to no extra effort to get to this point. I don't know if this is true, but you'd have to think that gives him a much higher ceiling v. the kid who's been weight lifting since he was a tween and already had his body is premium condition as he ascends up the ranks.
-
The real question will be whether he can sustain it or not.
-
Howie Kendrick? The only other that comes to mind is Neil Walker, but he accepted. Mark Trumbo? He rejected a QO, but got 3 years,$37.5M Contract....he's pretty much out of baseball now.
-
I agree. I also think FA's know that if they accept the QO, the following offseason they won't have draft pick compensation attached to their contracts and that increases their value.

Indeed. I also can't believe the entire league didn't exploit this loophole more. AA turned our farm system around in a heartbeat using this tactic. Sign or trade for players one 1 year deals, let them walk in free agency and add a draft pick between the 1st and 2nd round. -
No - it's not bad at all. Jim's being a little dramatic.
-
-
No - I'm just assuming things. Pretty nice to wake up and realize you no longer have to force Dom Smith in LF...
-
Man - the Mets really benefit from having the permanent DH in the NL.

AA found and exploded the loophole in the CBA to land us several extra draft picks which accelerated the rebuilding of our farm system (before he eventually traded some of it away). -
I'm just bustin' yo ballz Grant.
-
1 year apparently.

Raps sign Alex Len. We have a new stable of bigs.
