My phone just said the Jays are unwilling to give Jose a multi-year deal.
-
No it's not. The top 10 picks are protected. Those teams would surrender their next highest pick. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/explaining-the-qualifying-offer-system.html Rockies surrendered the 11th overall pick to sign Ian Desmond. They are dumb.

gezz - I wonder why.

There's absolutely no reason to give him the 3rd year anymore. Turner just signed for $16M and he's a far superior player. 2 years $30M is about as high as we should go for Jose. Nobody else in baseball is going to give him that much + a draft pick. He has no options left. His arrogance backfired immensely.

You mean the Jose Baustisa who posted 1.4 WAR in 517 PA's last year and the Luis Valbuena who posted 2.0 WAR in 342 PA's?
-
Half the fans think Jose is still good defensively with his rocket arm in RF (see Rogers commercial with him throwing 92). Let's cater to what the fans want...said no good GM ever.

I think that's a bit of a misconception about Gibby. If true, he would have stuck with Pillar, or moved Upton there when acquired. -
The entire post was needless pessimism. It's December 12th.

always such a smartass Box.

Oh right - just my dumb friends. Good point.

Daily fantasy sports is dead? I got an e-mail from Fanduels asking me to send personal information to them and blah blah blah, couldn't be bothered and donated the 20 odd dollars I still had on the site to them.

Apparently nobody wants your money Term. I came here to ask the same question.

Are you saying my personal decisions are influenced by mass marketing schemes? That's crazy. I don't have time for this - I have to go make a smoothie in my magic bullet, while cooking my homemade burger on my George Foreman grill.

You'd be a better troll if you switched up your game more often.

All I know is there was a time when someone brought poker chips to every house party I went to and there was interest from almost everyone there to play. That's completely died off over the past 4-5 years. Even when someone brings the chips - half the guys aren't interested. I don't think that's a result of the US banning online gambling sites. It was a just a fad. UFC seems similar. It was new - everyone wanted to check it out....they did, lost interest and it faded into the background. Maybe I'm just old and kids changed things. I have a friend who's a professional online poker player. Has been for 10+ years now. Put himself through university with it and lives in downtown Toronto driving a Land Rover. Brilliant guy. He doesn't tried to be the best, he just learned to prey on amateurs who basically give him their money online. It's a good gig...although he said he's growing tired of it and is looking to change professions.

I'm sure there's a core fan base - I must just be sheltered from it. I mean I see the commercials and you see Dana White on TV every once in awhile (he reminds me of Vince McMahon for some reason), but I work in an office with over 50 people (mostly men) couldn't tell you the last time it came up in discussion (maybe when Rousey lost?). I couldn't name one person I know who follows it closely. I had friends who bought the PPV regularly back when it was GSP & Silva to have the boys over. Haven't done that in years now. Reminds me of hold'em poker. Seems like it was a new fad that's lost it's luster outside of the core fans.

Feisty little guy aren't ya.

People still watch/follow MMA?
-
Ah yes. Josh Bell. Nevermind. Moving on.
-
Who's playing first there besides Jaso?
-
Bastardo?
-
Imagine that. Trade JD + for Urias, Pederson, Puig...then sign Turner.
-
Correct me if I've wrong, but you support signing Jose don't you?
