    TDotttt has insider info. Never question him.
  2. Brownie19
    True - but there were also a lot of people who wanted him to catch Martin because that meant he wouldn't "sit" during a playoff game...You let him catch the traditional pitchers where he adds a ton of extra value (which is negated when catching Dickey).

    He does look good in a police hat...
  4. Brownie19
    And Gibby/AA decided it would be a good idea for Martin to catch Dickey last year. Utter stupidity.

    I suspect the ******* who voted for Jason Kendell in the HOF vote this year didn't catch this article.

    says TDotttt2005 - his name is in the top left hand corner of his post.

    Mike - you must have missed the annual "Sandoval has lost 25 lbs and is in the best shape of his life" report. I think I saw it this morning.

    Just more or does the guy doing the interview look like he's got a balding Mohawk or something odd going on? Perhaps just massive power alleys, which may be somewhat fitting for a baseball reporter.

    I'd just bat Pompey 9th, JD 1st and then I'd start the game off by telling myself that JD is going to be coming up with nobody out 100% of the time, whereas with anyone else up, 67.5% of the time there's already 1 out!

    common sense?

    It appears Jackson is heading towards a contract well below market value (after seeing Span get 3 years $10+ AAV). Signing him would be a shrewd, prudent move by Shatkins with would cement my opinion that these guys are a great addition to the organization. 116 wRC+ vs. LHP last year (111 in 2014). I'm not sure there's any pitchers left who would provide the value Jackson could for this team. My concern is he's probably looking for a fulltime gig to try and rebuild his value (could be looking for a show me 1 year deal) and there could be better situations out there for that. Any guess one what he'll cost? 1 yr $5M? Man - 2 yr $7-$8M would be sweet.

    How do you know I wasn't laughing because he's funny? If I laugh at Jerry Seinfield, is that racist against the jewish community?
  13. Brownie19
    2.3 WAR last year
  14. Brownie19
    Timeout - there's something wrong with that? FML.
  15. Brownie19
    He looked pudgier in the Sportsnet interview.

    I feel bad for the players who actually work their tail off all season, add muscle and actually come into the spring training in the best shape of their life... Literally no one believes them...
  17. Brownie19
    yeah one that doesn't suck would be great
  18. Brownie19
    Oh but aren't we all enjoying the cheaper gas? The people who were complaining the price of gas was too expensive are now complaining our dollar is too low...
  19. Brownie19
    You're timing couldn't be any better. This is awesome.
  20. Brownie19
    whoooa you mean guys in TV don't take the time to ensure their statements are factual? say it ain't so.
  21. Brownie19
    To be fair - he said he gained 25 lbs, which certainly could be a fact. Competitive walks remains atop the list of stupid things he's said (well above all else really).
  22. Brownie19
    On a 1 year deal (say $25M), with Rogers agreeing to increase the budget (knowing there's no long term commitment). Sure.
  23. Brownie19
    You mean I can't cherry pick stats to prove my point? WTF is this world coming to??? OK if I must, Upton's 4 year wRC+ average puts him 38th in baseball over that 4 year stretch.......amongst those listed ahead of him - Jaso, Belt, Duda & B.Moss. I don't consider any of them to be great hitters - nor do I consider Upton to be a great hitter. If I'm locking up a guy for 6 years and committing 10-15% of my annual budget to him and he's a guy who strikes out a ton and brings little defensively to the table - he better at least be a great hitter.
  24. Brownie19
    I guess 'great' is subjective and in retrospect, a wRC+ of 123 was 38th best in baseball last year (for qualified hitter), which isn't too shabby. That said - Logan Forsyth, Lucas Duda, and Kendrys Morales all finished with a higher wRC+ and I don't consider any of them to be 'great' hitters. I guess suggesting he's a "23% above average hitter" would be most accurate. Regardless - not something I'd lock up long term and make a core player, especially when you consider he's playing a below average LF.
  25. Brownie19
    I must be the only one who doesn't think Upton is worth it. Don't get me wrong, he's a nice player, but he isn't the type of 'core' player I'd be handing a long term contract to, nor would I want him eating up 10%+ of our budget. He's a high strikeout guy who doesn't bring much defense to the table. He isn't a 'great' bat either, averaging a wRC+ of 123 over the past 4 years. For me, a lot of his value is tied to his durability and good base running (which we should assume would decline over the 2nd half of this contract). He reminds me of a Carmelo Anthony in the NBA. Nice player, puts up the numbers, but you'll never win when he's one of your core guys eating up a lot of your budget (sorry, can't think of another good comp off the top of my head....maybe Cespedes, which is kind of ironic.
