Well, I don't... That's really messed up. Super gay. -
I think we should get used to Martin not hitting. New league, new team and a track record that suggests he's more of a .230/.320/.400 hitter. I fully expect him to be borderline awful at the plate this year and think we'll see improvements next year... Thank god Gibby pulled the plug on him hitting 2nd quickly....I never understood how they thought that was a good fit. Now if only Gibby was smart enough to get Pompey out of the 2 hole.

New artificial turf discussion thread
Brownie19 replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Surely they tested it... Is it going to cost them 20 or 30 points on their batting averages (a number which I think is insanely high) compared to what it would have on the old turf - or compared to what it would on natural grass. The goal has to be to try and replicate the speed of natural grass... And for all the hitters complaining, there will be the same # of pitcher applauding... -

You mean in comparison to the teams that have triples and singles power? -
New artificial turf discussion thread
Brownie19 replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
could have/should have been singles on the "old turf" or on a standard grass infield? Isn't the intent to make it play more like grass (ie, much slower than the old turf)? -
Pretty sure we could have an entire thread dedicated to who stupid Buck is.

There are other ways to implement a "win now mode" without sacrificing your ability to sustain success.... As a fan - I looking for sustained success, not a one year wonder. I realise it's difficult to keep looking long term and that sustaining success is challenging in the majors, but let's be honest - teams do it (St. Louis, SF, Boston, Angels, A's, TB - all have over the past 7-8 years)...and I could be wrong, but I don't think they achieve this by making short sighted decisions to sacrifice the development of their top young players to try and win in a particular year. Just my thoughts.
-
Exactly....and whether pitching out of the pen delays their development as a starting pitcher which is significantly more valuable to the team than relief pitchers are.....oh and there's the possibility relieving for a couple of years before trying to transition back to a starter may significantly increase their chance of injury. and...well...never mind.

For once - I agree with you. I don't put Estrada in the same discussion with Hendrick or Redmond
-
Mmm. You present an interesting dilemma. They each seemingly have a legitimate claim to the ball, and yet the ball can have only one rightful owner. Quite the conundrum. As a federal employee, I believe the law is all we have. It's all that separates us from the savages who don't deserve even the privilege of the daily mail. Stuffing parcels into mailboxes where they don't belong!!...But I have made a decision. We will cut the ball down the middle, and give half to Castro and half to Norris.

Remember when players were going to defer their own salaries so we could sign this loser? stupid.
-
Computer projections rule, yeah yeah yeah...
-
What are the chances he did? 4% Agents, taxes, parties, douchbaggery....
-
Really? I think he takes a step forward this year. No way he should be in AAA...despite what sounds like an odd start to the season today.
-
That's more than just weather....if it's not - then I look forward to watching Castro hit 102 in warm weather
-
Holy Christ - you put $32K down on FanDuels last year? all to make $1,500? I get that bond's don't give you much return on your dollar and the stock market is risky, but that's a f*ton of effort to make a measly $1,500
-
What mess? Navarro is the backup catcher. Are we expecting AA to re-create the scene from Moneyball here he trades Pena for anything he can get b/c the manager is too dumn to use his players correctly?
-
I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect Gibby not to be a maroon. Heaven forbid he do a little research and try to get better at his job.
-
Gotta build up his trade value! Need to remind teams how clutch he is.

Norris - 165 IP, 3.84 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 8.7 K/9 Sanchez - 111 IP, 3.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 Castro - 65 IP, 3.55 ERA, 9.6 K/9 Osuna - 40 IP, 2.82 ERA, 9.2 K/9 Travis - 450 PA .268/.325/.405 7HR, 6SB Pompey - 400 PA .238/.298/.388 5HR, 18SB

Who's rule of thumb is this? And when will we ever see a ML Manager break "tradition" and actually do this? I've always been a huge proponent of getting your best hitters more at bats (seems simple enough) - yet ML managers still don't even try and do that... I never understood sticking some light hitting guys who handles the bat well 2nd (P.Polanco).
-
Sorry - what's LI?
-
I'd love to hear the theory behind batting Martin 3rd...
-
Doubront's xFIP in 2013/2014 was about the same as Dickey and Buehrle the past couple of years. He's pitched in the AL East, but has lost some velo the past couple of years. Decent depth guy.

And then there will be 329 articles written about how "cool" that is. And then I'll puke.
