    Holy f*** that's phenomenal.

    You mean like Steve Pearce did?

    I tend to agree that the WBC is a waste of time...however, I was at the Canada / USA game at the dome in 2009 and it was phenomenal. I still can't believe Canada didn't finish that comeback though. That was the day I fell in love with Joey Votto... I think the biggest issue now is a lot of the top players are declining the invite. And BTW - who's the powerhouse again? Japan? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Baseball_Classic

    I actually read some of the comments you got off reddit and they weren't nearly as bad as I expected.

    Sounds like Sanchez may pitch for Mexico in the WBC. He had Taco Bell last week.

    I'm game for your plan - except the part where you said Chris Carter is a fallback option... I even think you could add Valbeuna to your plan to complete it. Jose, Pagan, Valbeuna and a couple relievers would complete this offseason....although part of me thinks I'd rather just give Pompey a shot instead of Pagan...

    Edmonds is about 10 more WAR than Vlady in about the same # of years. He couldn't even get 5% of the votes... It's kind of funny that Vlady doesn't qualify if you look at advanced metrics - yet he didn't reach many (any?) of the traditional milestones either (500 hr, 200 sb). He had a very strong slash line and obviously was a very good hitter, but he seems to be a product of marketing created by the " Sportcenter highlights" era. He did spectacular things on the baseball field, which would get plastered all over Sportscenter and people would assume he's something he really wasn't. Cespedes might get a little of that these days.

    It's amazing how Vlady was/is known as a 5 tool player....yet he was a poor base runner and terrible defender essentially throughout his entire career. He's probably one of the most misconceived players of this past generation. He might be one of the last players to be widely considered a Superstar / HOF player despite what advanced metrics suggested. Brian Giles was basically the same player as Vlady. Larry Walker was a better hitter, better base runner, better defender.

    You could probably get Jason Hammel for like 1 year $8M right now. He's projected to provide 1.3 WAR more than Moss is...
  10. Brownie19
    Agreed. I love that Bags is getting in. Vlad is on the cusp too. I expected Vlad would get in, but it's crazy to see him getting in on his first try when a superior player like Jim Edmonds got booted off the ballot in his first year and guys like Bonds, Clemens, Schilling and Manny aren't getting enough love to get in. I forgot how stupid this voting really is.

    There was some spreadsheet showing the current status going around. It never worked when I opened it and now I've lost interest. Can someone post a link that works?
  12. Brownie19
    squint more.

    in 68 PA's. wRC+ of 140 in 332 in AA - I settled on about 145 combined His walk rate spiked last year. He needs to continue that trend and control his K%, but the kid has a bright future. No idea if he's worth Stro straight up, but he's the type of OFer I'd like to get if we're moving Stro....a building block with tons of control. Conforto fits the bill as well.

    Got tickets for Jays at Twins and will catch a TB home game while I'm down in FL in early March.
  15. Brownie19
    meh - 5 tool prospect, top 10 overall pick, entering his 23 year old season. .963 OPS and a wRC+ around 145 in AA/AAA last year. It's not like there's nothing to like.
  16. Brownie19
    The citizenship lines for the WBC are seemingly a joke. I suspect Freeman qualified because he ate some Canadian bacon for breakfast last week.
  17. Brownie19
    Our OF is just as bad and there's no help in sight. We should have snagged Ivan Nova when we had the chance.
  18. Brownie19
    That's the type of guy I'd consider moving Stro for...although I'd prefer to keep Stro personally.
  19. Brownie19
    I kinda hope it's both. Valbuena is the small signing and Blackmon or Puig is the big trade
  20. Brownie19
    But what about those scouts who reported the ball "sounds" different coming off his bat?
  21. Brownie19
    DH? The only thing he did last year well was play defense!
  22. Brownie19
    The name you're searching for is D.J. Davis...
  23. Brownie19
    I'm curious to see if more teams start following the Cubs and draft/collect young positional players instead of pitchers. I get that pitching wins championships, but they are so f'ing volatile. Drafting positional players isn't a sure thing - but the rate of success of 1st and 2nd round positional players must be significantly higher than it is for pitchers. Increase the rate of success in your draft and use them and FA money to sign/trade for pitchers when the time is right.

    Is there a least inviting place to play in MLB than Oakland Co.?
  25. Brownie19
    Possibly. Let me hate on Blair in peace please.
