  1. More chatter that the Jays are interested in Price. Don't read The Score comments, you'll get AIDS
  2. f***ing beauty signing. He may not bounce back, but this is still an excellent signing.
  3. Thank god.
  4. Man - you think way too much. You don't have any idea whether his elbow is a concern to teams, you don't have any idea how feasible it actually is for the Jays to sign free agents. Stop pretending like you know stuff.
  5. Do you ever stop?
  6. I said his knuckleball velocity was trending up - and it was 73.4 MPH in 2008 to 78.1 MPH in 2012. There was lots of information about how he was adding velocity on purpose, which lead to his spike in K's. Yeah he was old, but he was adding velocity as he aged. I believe the back and knee injuries he had (and pitched through) factored into the drop in velo when he arrived in TO and, ultimately made him less effective.
  7. It's the stadium. It's so gorgeous that people keep showing up. I wish Pittsburgh would get new ownership. It's a great sports City with a great stadium.
  8. um - he was coming off a 4.7 WAR season and the NL Cy Young award. His velocity was also trending up (leading to improved results). He was also owed next to nothing, which was about all we could afford at the time (apparently). To be fair, it was similar to the Pirates trading Glasnow + Meadows for Archer (especially when you factor in Dickey's reasonable extension) - with the difference being their age.
  9. Happ wasn't it?
  10. In the minor league portion of it.
  11. They're still pissed we got Biagini from them and are doing everything they can to get their revenge.
  12. Musgrove is coming off a 3.3 WAR season, is 27 and has 3 years of control and this guy wouldn't move Reece f***ing McGuire and his 80 wRC+ AAA bat for him. That is mind numbing stupidity.
  13. It's all BS Laika - this FO does absolutely nothing. They are losers who sit on their hands and crunch numbers all day. They won't spend money.
  14. Gardner back to the Yanks. 1 yr $12.5M + a $20M option for 2021.
  15. Hasn't history proven that this approach is generally more successful (even though on paper it seems flawed)? Paying FA's for their past results has never been an overly successful approach.
  16. Deadpool is right - don't target Calhoun please.
  17. What's that from Hurl?
  18. Our rotation is Anderson, Shoemaker and a bunch of rookie or near rookies and you're complaining that we signed an innings water to protect the young arms? That's a new level of....never mind.
  19. He's also 1 year removed from being the best reliever in baseball... Risk/Reward. Wish we were in on him
  20. Yeah I was looking at JD Davis at 1st or DH....much like Dom Smith would be
  21. success is irrelevant Olerud - getting s*** done is the #1 criteria. Todd - you sound like Kenny Powers FFS.
  22. Dom Smith, JD Davis, Nimmo - I'd be all over these guys. All 3 could end up being backup/bench players for the Mets next year, which is kind of insane. Speaking of the Mets - is Cespedes alive? I mean if we aren't going to add some quality players via FA a year early (which it appears we won't), I'd use our payroll flexibility to take on Cespedes and Lowrie if we could land some combination of Nimmo, JD Davis, Smith - they're all 24 to 26 and entering their prime. They'd go well with our core.
  23. I wouldn't think twice about trading McGuire for Nimmo. 138 PA's in the majors isn't enough to make me forget about the wRC+ of 80 in AAA over the past couple of years. I'd say there's a 95% chance he's a backup and with the young guys in A ball, I think we'll survive both short and long term.
  24. Really? I mean in CF yes, but at the corner is he that bad? Sign me up for a Nimmo, who's now entering his prime and is a career 130 wRC+ hitter (over 1,000 PA's). He reminds me a lot of Biggio to be honest. Career 15 BB%.
