  1. Apparently the Yanks won't offer Sheffield or Frasier in a deal for Machado - so we can all safely remove the Frasier for Happ pipe dream from our thoughts. It appears the days of selling rentals for top prospects is officially over.
  2. Never realized that Ricky was still pitching in the minors as recently as last year...
  3. Krod let it happen when he was with the Angels. Winning run scored.
  4. That's kind of irrelevant when we're simply identifying positions the Indians could upgrade at.
  5. Alonso - 106 wRC+ Edwin - 105 wRC+ yur dum
  6. Wow - Hanks seems like the absolute perfect fit for Forrest. Was Travolta going to be Lieutenant Dan?
  7. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
  8. I wonder if the Indians could be potential trade partners for the Jays. With Kipnis and Alonso sucking, they could use JD and their OF is a mess, so Pillar and Grandy could be options.
  9. Nice to see Barger put together a couple of good game.
  10. https://imgur.com/gallery/eTYPsDZ Not sure if everyone saw this last night. Funny way to end the game. Bregman's a beast. 155 wRC+ now.
  11. Just wear sunglasses.
  12. f*** no. There will be AC.
  13. I'm buying this milkshake now as well. mmmmmm
  14. If he goes to jail - does his years of control pause?
  15. Nobody wanted Tulo for $100M, why would they want JD for that?
  16. Seems like an easy sell Ross - "JA, we'd love to have you back in the offseason. You're a great fit for our team. In the meantime, we're going to trade you to a contender so you can go chase a world series title. We'll be in touch. All the best man"
  17. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1515625 Article on what catchers think about the 6 mound visits rules. Sounds exactly like the take out slide rule. Initially they all hate it, but now most realize it's not a big deal at all. Mound visits are down 50% this year (yet no catcher said they've been unable to make a mound visit when they really felt it was needed) and game length is down 6 minutes. Seems like a win-win.
  18. The metrics seem odd though. Defensively in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2001 he was -10 to -12 defensively (and a 0.4 to 1.4 WAR player). in 1999 he was -40 defensively - which lead to the -2.3 WAR season (his bat was pretty consistent for all 5 years).
  19. I think wRC+ was created because of Dante Bichette. Maybe it was just Coors field in general, but it's about the time the baseball world started to realize that not all counting stats are alike - and that counting stats should not be used in a vacuum to define a good hitter and a bad hitter.
  20. Buck's not sure if Axford's ever pitched this well before. Jesus f***. Who's he fooling?
  21. Good point - I'm sure this is how the Jays will evaluate it. Mark - "Well Ross - what do you think, should we offer JD a 4 year $100M deal? I don't know, those are his age 34-37 years and he's been hurt a lot over the past 2 years. This is pretty risky - some might say as risky as when AA took on Tulo in 2015." Ross - "But he was healthy in 2016 at age 31" Mark - "What the f*** does that have to do with anything Ross" JD's started 129 of a possible 248 games over the past 2 years (52%) and now seemingly can't throw. At age 34, he's as risky and injury prone as Tulo was when we traded for him. Or at least close enough to make a comparison.
