    I mean we turned 1/4 of a season of Liriano into Teoscar. He obviously has warts, but there's no reason to claim it's idiotic to think Espinal might be an asset.

    Surely to god we're at the point where we no longer talk in absolutes. tercet looks like a moron when claiming anyone who thinks he's anything more than a AAA folder is on crack. There's a lot to like about Espinal. Solid walk rate, low K's, high % of line drives and fly balls. There's obviously a wide spectrum of potential results - all with their own likelihood (which someone smarter than me could probably estimate). What on earth is wrong with simply pointing out this guy had a good season - made some improvements and could be a decent asset moving forward?

    Except the spike in runs per game (1993 to 2010) eerily lines up with the steroid era. The # of runs per game per game over the last few years is similar to what we saw from 1980 to 1993. The other obvious factor in the reduction in runs is the improvement in pitching - and the way teams use pitching. What if limited the shift doesn't work? Are they going to put governors on our pitchers? Every pitch over 95 MPH is an automatic ball - we need more scoring! Changing the rules to address one component of a perceived issue seems incredibly short sighted. Baseball is cyclical - it always has been. Don't f*** it up with stupid rules.

    What's next - they'll draw a line on the infield that fielders must stay behind to prevent them from playing in on a bunt - or to cut down a run at home? Will infielders be allowed to play deep with their feet in the outfield? This is beyond stupid. Hopefully Shapiro can knock some sense into these f***s.

    All I can picture is the setting on my high school volleyball team. He lines up on the side (in the rotational position he has to) and then when the ball is put into play, he runs into the middle to become the setter again. Would we see an infielder standing right on the line and then moving as the pitcher goes into his windup? That's stupid.

    He'll probably justify it by saying his sign says "no douche bags" - and Addy is a MASSIVE douche bag and thus doesn't conflict with his policy.

    Ah f*** me. Too lazy to look back a page.

    HOLY f*** HAROLD. How does he maintain a job?

    Fair enough - that was more of a tongue and cheek joke anyway. Further to your point - it's interesting to see guys like Jeff Blair went from voting for Manny Ramirez last year - to removing him from his ballot this year (while still not voting for 10 people). Last year he was good enough, but not this year? I think the dickhole Blair has some personal rule about not voting for 10, so that's probably his flawed explanation.

    Obviously the induction of Baines has helped Edgar - who's at 92.5%

    Matt Harvey signs with the Angels - 1 yr $11M

    https://www.fangraphs.com/tht/team-non-tender-could-outhit-the-orioles-or-love-me-non-tender/ analysis on whether a non-tender team could compete in MLB. I think someone started this argument on here (although I can't find it after minimal effort).

    I'll admit - this is the first one I've listen to (I'm old and podcasts are new to me). It's solid guys. Can someone link the names to the user names? I know Boxy is Allan, but that's it. Thanks.

    I was thinking Archie, then Milton.
  15. Brownie19
    meh - fair point. Broadcasters and playoff games can set me off the deep end from time to time.
  16. Brownie19
    Troll game - weak.
  17. Brownie19
    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-pirates-just-picked-up-a-good-little-bargain/ I thought this was an interested article. Certainly looks like this signing could pay dividends for Pittsburgh.

    Brantley for those of you still trying to figure out who Bradley is.
  19. Brownie19
    If you keep them, you're just praying for injuries to contending teams that'll be forced an over-payment...

    Why does Miami want MLB proven pieces in return? They should have traded him last year. This is a mess.
  21. Brownie19
    It's insane to think Visquel is currently on 40% of the ballots submitted, yet he finished with about 10 career WAR less than Vazquez - who was omitted from the ballot completely.
  22. Brownie19
    That is crazy. Unless he finds the fountain of youth, or excels in a different role - Javier Vasquez may finish his career with more WAR than King Felix......who some may argue is HOF worthy. Let that one sink in for awhile.

    It's a volume thing King - it's not your content. I'm disappointed you don't post as often as you used to. I considered you for best infrequent poster too if that helps.
