    I admittedly didn't read the report about "smelling alcohol" - who smelt it? In the midst of a horrific accident, which I assume included a lot of blood, next to/in the ocean - you'd think it might be kind of hard to smell booze? There's also a chance they had booze with them and it could have spilled all over someone during the accident. Assuming the driver (we don't even know who it was) was impaired (simply because someone smelt booze) and declaring people scumbags seems a lot more erroneous than my assumption that Lester was probably over the limit when he drove the boys back to his house (while breaking traffic laws) after the NLCS...

    Jesus - where were you when I suggested Lester was probably drinking and driving home from the NLCS party.

    You could say that's $14M for Either (assuming - errr, knowing Smoak is dead value) and a club option for 2018. It's similar to Saunders on a QO really. It certainly looks better if they include Barnes!

    Adam Eaton looks incredibly sexy in RF if you ask me.

    Ethier was a 3 WAR player in 2015 with a 138 wRC+ That's probably the ceiling, but if he stays healthy (maybe by DH'ing more), isn't there a chance he can be a 120 wRC+ guy who doesn't kill you defensively in LF and give you 2-2.5 WAR with a bit of luck? He's a career 140 wRC+ hitter vs. RHP. I see him in the same tier as a Matt Holliday.

    Absolutely. There were many suggesting the parents should die - not the gorilla.
  7. Brownie19
    He actually trended in the wrong direction last year in AAA. K% up, BB% down, wRC+ down from 2015 AAA #'s. His defense was also bizarrely terrible at times. If the FO had any confidence in him at all, I think you would have seen him with the big club when Jose got hurt (either the 1st or 2nd time).

    Don't ever read stories about things that happen to children...There are people who truly believe a parent should NEVER take their eyes off their children and/or let them out of the bubble wrap. If they do - they are the devil. It's pretty sickening.

    Ethier + Barnes would be a decent target. I can't imagine it would cost a lot (certainly not a 'good' prospect). Barnes is interesting, but he'll be 27 next year with 41 career games under his belt. Ethier is similar to Reddick (LH platoon guy without huge K%) and you'd only have to commit for 1 or 2 years with him (vs. 4-5 years that Reddick might get). Ethier hasn't been very durable and is older - so there is risk there, but he's been a better hitter than Reddick.

    https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/how-roberto-perez-overcame-bells-palsy-to-become-an-unlikely-world-series-hero-042257211.html I didn't realise Perez had bells palsy. I love these types of stories.

    I assume they re-sign AJ Ellis. Kershaw is so lonely without him.

    Bryant was the 8th best base runner in baseball last year (7.3 BsR). Donaldson ended the year at a 0.2 BsR. Bryant is a significantly better base runner - especially when you factor in JD's bad hip. In 18 posts - you've said some pretty ignorant things (like suggesting Pillar should have won the GG last year over KK). You might consider doing more listening.
  13. Brownie19
    I love this idea - however, I wonder how much we'd be willing to give up to get him when we just got McGuire.
  14. Brownie19
    Unless they recently hired Dave Stewart - I think this goes without saying.
  15. Brownie19
    I think Shatkins took a serious look at him because they thought he'd be a slight upgrade over Saunders (and a more durable option). Saunders came back from the dead and had a huge 1st half and we all scoffed at the idea they wanted to deal this guy for Jay Bruce. Then Saunders showed his true colours in the 2nd half and we could see why Shatkins was looking at Bruce as a slight upgrade. I don't think our previous interest in Bruce is any indication moving forward...let's be honest, the market for OFers we could acquire while trading Michael Saunders was incredibly bare.
  16. Brownie19
    couldn't...edit..quick...enough. I see he has a club option now - he's not a FA....it's a no-brainer.
  17. Brownie19
    He needs to come DH for us. Use his terrible defense as a selling point and make Cincy eat a pile of the $$$.

    Sean Rodriguez would be an interesting bench piece. Crushes lefties (151 wRC+ vs. LHP last year) - although last year was the only time in his career he's hit well....did anyone read about some drastic change his in swing or something to justify he spike in his hitting last year? I still hate his K%, but he played all over the diamond last year. Steve Pearce is certainly preferred.
  19. Brownie19
    Why did I get castrated for assuming Lester had been drinking after the NLCS celebration again?
  20. Brownie19
    Is KK nominated in CF? Or did he miss too many games?
  21. Brownie19
    Shocking...
  22. Brownie19
    That's probably better than buying 6 years at $30M and paying him for his 36-38 age seasons.
  23. Brownie19
    I believe he put it in context of ripping up his current agreement and paying him current market value today - for 5 years. Personally, I like it as we're only investing for his age 31-35 seasons. Get it done.

    Dave Cameron suggested 5 years $35M AAV right now on the Fan this morning

    I avoid merchandise of this sort like the plague. Nothing like wearing a sweater that everyone knows is 7 years old
