    Wow - Hanks seems like the absolute perfect fit for Forrest. Was Travolta going to be Lieutenant Dan?

    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.

    Deadpool is wrong.

    Nice to see Barger put together a couple of good game.

    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.

    If he goes to jail - does his years of control pause?

    Nobody wanted Tulo for $100M, why would they want JD for that?

    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"

    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.

    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).

    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.

    Buck's not sure if Axford's ever pitched this well before. Jesus f***. Who's he fooling?

    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.

    Willians brother? I love that 3% K rate.
  20. Brownie19
    2 years before we traded for Tulo 126 games played 91 games played 2 years before JD's free agency 113 games played 36 games played + whatever else he manages this year. Tulo was 31 when we acquired him, JD will be 34 when he's a FA and nobody knows if his arm will ever return to 'normal'. You can point to what JD did between 2013 - 2016 all you want, but that's old news, especially seeing as he's further down the aging curve. JD's gone from a 145-155 wRC+ hitter to 107 this year. Tulo went from a 133-170 wRC+ hitter to a 106 hitter the year we traded for him. Sorry, but I fail to see why you think these situations aren't remotely close.
  21. Brownie19
    He was 9 month removed from being the best hitter in the NL. A lot of hindsight prophets in here today. Based on Tulo - I assume nobody wants to pay JD $20-25M a season over the next 3 or 4 years right? He's been injury prone. He looks like a corpse of himself right now. We all fully expect he'll be posting 0 WAR in 2020 right?
  22. Brownie19
    That kind of tells you show s***** pitching was back in the day. Those guys post huge numbers, but can't hit a 42 year old Warren Spahn after seeing him the 6th time through the order when he's throwing 75-85 MPH. I mean how f***ing awful were the other guys they faced?
  23. Brownie19
    Yeah I get that, but he was coming off a 5.1 WAR season in 2014 (in only 91 games). I think it was realistic to expect this type of decline: 2016: 3.0 2017: 2.5 2018: 2.0 2019: 1.5 2020: 1.0 That's 10 WAR for $100M I'm not sure what they are valuing 1 WAR at these days. It was $9M per WAR last year and people generally thought that was on the rise back in 2015 (it may not be now). That isn't AWFUL value, especially if it improves your team at the right time - in 2015 and 2016 when you're making a push. I agree it's not a great plan of attack to trade for 30 years old's who are owed $100M - but there was a decent chance this wouldn't turn out nearly as bad as it has. The drop in FA values doesn't help either.
  24. Brownie19
    Yeah but f*** - even when he "didn't stay healthy" he was posting 5+ WAR season (except in 2012). He was a 170 wRC+ hitter in 2014 - the year before we got him. Even with his "struggle" returning from hip surgery, he was a .300/.348/.471 106 wRC+ hitter. There was a legitimate possibility that as he worked his way back from surgery that his hitting would improve (as his defense did). You guys act like there was 0% change of that happening and that you all knew he'd be a pumpkin by 2016 - 2 years removed from being the best hitter in the NL. I just don't buy it.
  25. Brownie19
    Anyone understand why they would do this?
