    Only on this board would this become a thread. It's awesome.
  2. Brownie19
    I love the anger in this very solid post...bravo.
  3. Brownie19
    Yeah but Plouffe is solid defensively at 3rd. If they insist on getting Sano into the field, play Sano at 1st, DH Park.
  4. Brownie19
    ummm you have Sano and Plouffe reversed there...

    That pretty much sums it up (although you're assuming Mauer can still catch well). Hicks is a great get for the Yanks (unfortunately). I wish the Jays had him.

    You realise how "good" our offseason would have to be for this to happen?
  7. Brownie19
    That's why they traded for Trumbo...

    Massive assumptions you make include: - The thought that top FA pitchers actually want to sign and play in Toronto - Travis will be healthy, avoid the sophomore slump and be well above average with the bat (despite having a wRC+ of only 126 in AA in 2014 as a 23 yr old. - Goins can be an everyday player - You can give up Tulo without taking on salary in return (otherwise you can't simply add $20M to the "pot" of money we have to magically attract all the best FA pitchers)....this is extremely unlikely...and well, flat out dumb. If anything, we'd want major league players back in return for Tulo. Tulo posted a wRC+ of 141 and 170 in his past 2 seasons in Colorado. He was blindsided and adjusting last year. We want this guy on our team...

    Reports say he may split time at catcher next year because he's made of glass...

    Jesus Christ.
  11. Brownie19
    Ok. I was saying there's no scenario where you'd bat Alvarez between Jose and EE...
  12. Brownie19
    Man - I remember when I thought Jay Bruce was good. I was dumn.
  13. Brownie19
    Said nobody. Ever. Dumb

    I've never understood why people think we 'need' a lefty power bat.....to me it becomes an issue when you have too many LH bats as late in games you can get shut down by good LOOGY's. Doesn't seem to be an issues with RH heavy lineups
  15. Brownie19
    I don't like the idea of making a 1st/DH a core player. Heyward at 8/200 is significant better than Davis at 6/150 IMO
  16. Brownie19
    No. Notta. Zip. Zero
  17. Brownie19
    Why do we keep suggesting this....
  18. Brownie19
    I don't know if that's true. Neftal Feliz Osuna Buehrle Wacha Wainwright Carlos Martinez Lynn Price David Wells Sale Shark C.J. Wilson Those are the names I came up with in like 30 seconds. All were starters in the minors who were brought up as relievers and then converted. Now I'll admit - I've remembered most of the ones who did it successfully. Personally, I don't think teams convert guys like Betances into a reliever...watch him dominate in that role and then try and switch him back...I don't think that happens as much as you do.
  19. Brownie19
    Interesting - well I guess advanced stats prove me wrong. I do thing visually, there was a massive difference in early Cecil vs. late season Cecil....and the ACTUAL results back that up.
  20. Brownie19
    I'm not sure that's true. You're saying most prospects are given a chance to start and then put in the pen when they fail as a starter....after dominating as a pen arm, they are put back in the rotation? Is that what you're saying? I don't think that happens too much......nor is that what I was saying. I'm saying relievers turned starters get injured more and have poor results. To be honest, the article may have been looking at converted relievers in their 2nd season as a starter....I think it says they generally do well in their first year - but the results fall off the table in year 2 of the conversion. I read the article like 3-4 years ago.....little fuzzy.
  21. Brownie19
    Cecil was awful early on before he tweaked his mechanics...removing him from the closers role was the right move. Inserting Castro....apparently was not, although obviously putting Osuna there was and it's hard to really blame Gibby for giving Castro a shot - especially when you see how successful Osuna was.
  22. Brownie19
    We'll that's a little harsh. I did look and Miller's OPS wasn't .930 turdburgler
  23. Brownie19
    I remember reading an article a few years ago (for fantasy baseball) on relievers turned starters. It doesn't work out very well. There are a lot of injuries and simply bad pitching associated with the move in the short term...
  24. Brownie19
    So did Nick Franklin.
  25. Brownie19
    whys everyone hate on Karns so much? I'm not convinced Miller will every be that good to be honest, although I fully expect Farquhar to come in and dominate for TB
