That's probably a pipe dream......an amazing pipe dream though.

TL's back????

The current Dodgers are a great team. Here's another assignment for you. Can you kindly point me in the direction of all the big name free agents they brought in to build their 2019 team? Thanks.

f*** you pal. You come on here and spew utter nonsense around the board. I try and help you educate yourself on the massive risks involved with spending big $$ on free agents and instead of doing that, you just keep bitching about who awful this organization is because they don't add through free agency.

Rob - did you complete the assignment I gave you?

This board is slipping. I did a double take to make sure I wasn't on reddit or sportsnet. f*** me.

I'm looking forward to it! Truly incredible the effort that's gone into this website/podcast/articles. Inspirational stuff guys.

Much like us - they think Gurriel's are good at beisbol.

correct

Tiger v. Phil 2.0

I doubt we'll ever see Ryan Tepera again. Thanks for 2017.

Who's the biggest mirage in baseball right now? Austin Riley 205 wRC+ .483 BABIP 33.9 K% 3.4 BB%

Seattle might have gotten a star out of the Cano/Diaz trade. Kelenic is killing it this year. 172 wRC+ .261 ISO 11.6 BB% 20.9 K% 10 HR / 7 SB as a 19 year old in A ball.

Seth Beer has been destroying it this year. 183 wRC+ between A and AA. BABIP aided though.

prawcees ova rezultz motha fukas!!!

These last couple of pages are f***ing AIDS to the eyes. f*** me.

Buck just said Gurriel's been more aggressive since returning from AAA.....like a guy with a career 4.0 BB% could get anymore aggressive..

Ducey - great job of taking my advice of reading and listening to those on this board...too stubborn I guess. This is pretty sad man.

Go look at the list of players who have signed massive FA deals and you may get your answer as to why the Jays have generally avoided them. Look at the entire list - looks past RBI's, Average, Wins and ERA and then return with a summary.

what are you basing this opinion on?

f*** off Barker and stop making s*** up you scab. https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2018/10/03/how-mlb-attendance-dropped-below-70-million-for-first-time-in-15-years/#53e9fd1761bf Total attendance has been flat lined for the past 20 years. Of interest from this article: For the Blue Jays, the drop was due to how they released tickets to resellers. “As we progressed in our business model, we didn’t think it was advantageous to have 50% of our tickets controlled by the secondary market,” Blue Jays president and CEO Mark Shapiro said as the season was getting underway.

If you're going to continue citing average and RBI's in support of your arguments - you're probably not going to enjoy your experience on this board. Regarding the bold. I don't think you understand how WAR works.

Dude - I think we all need to get to know you better. Can you answer these? 1. are you Rob Ducey? 2. are you a troll? 3. do you really believe average, ERA and counting stats are a good way to judge how good or valuable a player is? Russell Martin is the 10th best catcher of all time (in terms of WAR) and we signed him on the perfect win curve projection and he provided incredible value to this team. We extended Bautista AFTER his 54 HR (6.6 WAR) season in 2010...not what I would call "still developing". Rogers has spent a lot of money on this team. We are consistently in the top 10 in payroll. Has that meant LOTS of FA signings? No....but I'd suggest you go research major FA signings in the MLB and report back on how successful those have been for teams over the past 10 years. What you'll find is it often doesn't pan out. FA is a tool teams can use to put them over the top; however, it's been shown over and over that using it as your main tool for building a team is often fools gold. You seem new, and I don't want to rip you too much, but you say dumb things a lot it seems (which is why I asked if you're a troll). Sorry if that's harsh. I will tell you though that there are a lot of really smart baseball minds on this board. If you keep an open mind and read/listen/comprehend what they say you'll probably learn a lot (I know I have).

If we could please discuss how awful his extension was again - that would awesome. Thanks.
