  1. I'm referring to the reality that essentially the entire 1984 Expos team was high on cocaine all season long (note - I didn't actually look up what year it was, but it was discussed with the whole Tim Raines HOF discussion).
  2. Someone update Wikipedia please. Did they ban the entire 1984 Expos too?
  3. I kinda wish someone hacked the Jays system!
  4. I never knew Ferguson Jenkins was banned. Wikipedia suggests it's because he was caught with cocaine, hash and weed at the border. I don't quite get this one.....nor do I get how he could be elected to the HOF while still on the banned list. Those smarter than me....go!
  5. Yeah I'm just kidding, but its surprising to read they would consider trading for Cron or Butler. I mean Chris Carter and Napoli kinda suck, but there's no need to trade for bums like Cron, Butler or Smoak when they are on the market for next to nothing. TB should finally maximize Miller's value by moving him to 2nd (and he hits like he did last year he might be a 3-4 WAR player).
  6. With second base now open, the Rays' primary plan is to move Brad Miller to the keystone, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Miller, who made the move to first base last season, is no stranger to second, where he started 18 games from 2013 to 2015. The Rays have a few options to fill first base, if desired to do so externally. Perhaps the best free agent option remaining is also one they've been linked to in recent days, Chris Carter. Jon Morosi of MLB Network said Friday that the team is interested in the 30-year-old, who hit 41 homers this past season. Other options include fellow free agents Mike Napoli and Mark Reynolds, and Topkin lists C.J. Cron and Billy Butler as possible trade targets. With a glut of outfielders and a pitching staff that could still stand to lose an arm, more trades could be in the offing before Opening Day. Potential landing spot for Justin Smoak!!!
  7. Is this where we post pictures of FA catchers who are nowhere near the caliber of Russell Martin???
  8. Jesus if we traded for Robertson and signed Blevins, there's be little to no uncertainty in our pen...at least no more uncertainty than any of the other top bullpens in baseball.
  9. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/tyler-glasnows-considerable-stride-and-crucial-small-steps/ I thought this was a cool article. I love the chart of extension v. perceived velocity. Glasnow is in his own category all together...wish you could hover over the other bubbles and find out which pitcher they are though.
  10. That's terrible. As a parent, stories like these are hard to read. I can't even being to imagine.
  11. holy skinny arms!
  12. Based on Law's response, he believes Bellinger will remain at 1st base (and thus I'd assume his rankings would suggest that as well). The difference between a stud defensive first baseman and one who's below average can't be the difference between being ranked 6th overall vs. outside the top 100. Whatever. KLaw is a dewb.
  13. So Tellez posts a higher wRC+ and higher ISO in the same league, at the same age and he's light years behind Bellinger? I'm not sure I buy it. This is more of a vote of confidence for Tellez than a slight at Bellinger. It would be interesting to know if KLaw considered Bellinger as a 1st basemen in his rankings...and if not - where would he rank if he ultimately is a 1st baseman.
  14. If he can play a passable CF - then WTF would they even list or consider him at 1st base? Who's he think is he - Darrin Erstad?
  15. Dave Stewart be like pfff. Samsonite.
  16. I'm aware - but if someone who's the same age is putting up comparable results in the same league there can't be a massive difference. Especially when you factor in the apparent work ethic and intelligence that Rowdy's shown.
  17. Someone here pointed out that Tellez's numbers and age are similar to Bellinger's and he's the 6th best prospect in baseball?
  18. Damnit Mike - this logical explanation bursts my bubble and pisses me off.
  19. Ahhh yes...good catch. I laughed when Bobcat threw out the cybermetrics. What a joke.
  20. Why would he thank anyone for sending him to Saskatchewan?
  21. Did anyone listen to Cliff Floyd on Bobcat's show last night? It was easily the worst interview I've ever heard (Jeff Blair included!).
  22. I'm going to try these seats with my son this summer. I know the "front" rows in the 500 level are best...what should the cut off be? Row 10?
  23. I'm with the Gov - give me the 200 level within the infield all day long. 100 level first base side is a cloud of BO. The only advantage is the girls usually don't/can't wear much. I never thought I'd like the seats behind the homerun wall, but I sat there for a number of playoff games now and they are pretty damn good IMO. I think the 200 level LF seats are good value. The 100 level in LF or RF in foul territory are the worst seats in the house. You couldn't pay me to sit there.
  24. When does Senzel crack the majors? This year? What a stud.
