    If we offered Saunders then Storen wouldn't be a Blue Jay sir

    The average listener should go play in traffic then....those are great questions

    Have you ever been to California? "hey kids - we're moving to California and daddy's going to have a lot less stress and a lot more time to spend with you" Seems like a great family decision to me.

    I see what you're fishing for...

    Billy Butler - 3 yr $30M.

    Apparently it's very hard for some to remember how we judged hitters back in 2007...

    In who's eyes though? the HOF voters or Fangraph's WAR? 2005 - Utley .291/.376/.540 28hr 105 rbi 16 sb 2005 - Soriano .280/.309/.512 36 hr 104 rbi 30 sb 2006 - Utley .309/.379/.527 32 hr 102 rbi 15 sb 2006 - Pedroia .326/.376/.493 15 hr 83 rbi 20 sb (MVP) 2007 - Utley 22 hr 104 runs 103 rbi 9 sb 2007 - Phillips 30 hrs 107 runs 94 rbi 32 sb If you ignore WAR (as most did in 2005/06 and as some voters still do) then I think you can argue other 2nd basemen in baseball were in the same conversation as Utley in his prime....."nowhere near as good" is a bit of a stretch IMO. Edmonds has the most WAR of a CF between 1995 and 2005 (including A.Jones during his prime) in his best season was 2 WAR better than the next best (Beltran) CF in baseball. Just sayin'

    Yeah I get that....although Utley wasn't overly flashy either. He was never an MVP, never won gold gloves, no big post season numbers or championship rings to his name. He was a mid 20 to low 30 HR hitter, which didn't stand out much between 2005 and 2009. There were other 2nd basemen between 2005 and 2009 to have big years (Soriano, Phillips, Uggla, Pedroia and his MVP season), although none with the consistency of Utley. For me - Utley was much like Edmonds. A very well rounded player who generated a ton of value on the defensive side (which was grossly undervalued in the mid 2000's).

    Jackson is coming off a 2.3 WAR season (better than all but one season is Revere's career). The only way I could see him interested in Toronto is if he's given the LF job and we leave Pompey in AAA. I guess that's a possibility if Jackson will come on the cheap....although D.Span's crazy deal may have ruined that opportunity...
  10. Brownie19
    Utley's only at 61 WAR....Edmonds had 66 career WAR (which Utley likely doesn't get to) and he's booted off the list after 1 season. Beltran's at 66 WAR, he should have a shot if he can get past 70.
  11. Brownie19
    If he stays healthy, he has a good shot...he'll be 37 by the time this season starts. Phenomenal player though.
  12. Brownie19
    Funny thing is - I'm not sure he's a shoe in because the voters are stupid. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Ortiz gets more support than Beltre.
  13. Brownie19
    You can look at it this way....who's more valuable to the current team....Revere in LF (with Pompey/Saunders on the bench), or Chavez providing SP depth... I'd rather have the SP depth personally. Storen replaces Hendrix
  14. Brownie19
    Good. Let's sign him too
  15. Brownie19
    Travis when he returns, I see him sliding into the lead off spot. The team was willing to put Donaldsom in a non-traditional spot...not sure why they won't do that again.....I think they moved Tulo out of it due to his struggles adjusting to a new team and league
  16. Brownie19
    Shapiro should pitch that to management and get the extra cash to sign Blanton...
  17. Brownie19
    And of course Shi comes on and says the Jays just created a massive hole in the lead off spot....SN reporters are the worst.
  18. Brownie19
    Span just got 3 year $10M aav didn't he?
  19. Brownie19
    I alway remember Ralphy being slick defensively....am I misremembering?
  20. Brownie19
    And Smoltz...
  21. Brownie19
    Dr. Dinger for the win.
  22. Brownie19
    Really? learned something new today. I question the sanity of all Mormon's FWIW.
  23. Brownie19
    I'll bite, ignore Bonds/Clemens and ask: 1. How do you put McGriff on, but not Walker or Edmonds? 2. How do you put Hoffman on there, but not Billy Wagner?
  24. Brownie19
    I think this would also be my list....although I would cheat and add Larry Walker too. It's kinda funny - I wanted to kick Piazza off the list until I realised he actually graded out as a solid defensive catcher (which I never would have guessed - anyone know if he was a good framer???) How on earth does Mussina not get in? 270 wins, 82.2 WAR pitching through the heart of the steroid era? He was unreal and retired coming off a 20-9, 4.6 WAR season......was there a reason for that? I kinda forget.
  25. Brownie19
    I heard he had a beer once too. He's totally dropped in my books.
