  1. I hear what you're saying...it really all depends how viable it is to add 2-3 good players in lieu of 1 superstar. In years past, the Jays have had to 'give up' a lot of young talent to get high priced players because we were never a desirable team and players don't really want to sign here. We no longer have a basket full of prospects to deal to add 2-3 good players. However, if we win the World Series and suddenly become a team that players want to sign with - and we can get 2-3 assets instead of Price......that's an intriguing and solid option.
  2. The man creates runs... http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2010&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=17,d Enough said. We're talking small ball? I must have fell into that hot tub time machine again...
  3. This is based on the assumption Roger's doesn't increase the budget in the following seasons. Given the MLB TV revenue that's coming in + gains from a winning team - it may not be far fetched to see them raise the budget. That's the beauty of baseball without a salary cap.
  4. I don't think we have any chance of resigning Price unless we win the World Series; however I don't get you guys who say you wouldn't want to resign him (if we could). Our window is right now...it's the next 2-4 years. We have Bats, Tulo, Martin & Donaldson as elite players, we have E5, Travis and Pillar all as above average players and then we have all the young arms - Stroman, Osuna, Sanchez, Hutchison, etc. We have an opportunity over the next 4 years to write another amazing chapter in the history of the franchise. This is our 1992/93 - this IS our time. I'd do whatever I could get to Price re-signed because he'd be a HUGE part of it (esp. if MB retires). Personally, I think it's worth it even if he's a shell of his former self in years 5 - 7 of the deal.
  5. I'd counter that and argue that pitchers who rely on the fastball/change combo are less susceptible to injury than the guys who spin the ball a lot. If you look at pitch value, a guy like Hamels is a 1 pitch pitcher (change). Will Price fall off a cliff when he eventually loses velocity (ala Verlander)? Maybe - but really - which aces do you project will continue their dominance into their mid 30's? It's a bit of a crap shoot IMO.
  6. Thanks Captain Obvious, take a seat on the bench, you've earned it!
  7. You shut your mouth. His hair & his duet (Smooth) with Rob Thomas are both fantastic.
  8. Cleanup in my office...coffee everywhere.
  9. I love this hot tub time machine...
  10. Exactly. If the Reds actually field that ball, throw to 3rd, then throw to 2nd - that's a double play - inning over. Phillips is smart enough to go get the ball, but not smart enough to know the sequence.
  11. Can I get the Cole's notes on what RA9-WAR is? Dickey is better than Noah, Zimmerman and Hamels?
  12. Cecil looks remarkably better/comfortable these days. That is awesome IMO. We need him.
  13. That's hilarious - my wife just said she looks like an alien (something wrong with her eyes). I'd let her give me head
  14. Anyone else notice we're starting to win close, low scoring games? it's happening.........
  15. HUGE boys....that's huge. Price - you're up.
  16. OK I missed the first inning (kids). What did Smoak do wrong?
  17. Those commercials give me the shivers.
  18. These Justin Trudeau commercials are pissing me off.
