    Ventura demoted? Exact same FIP and xFIP as last year, same peripherals....Royals are dum.
  2. Brownie19
    Omg - that is gold.

    Reddick is a platoon player who shouldn't be starting vs. LHP 

    C'mon. Is there audio on this? That's amazing. I really can't believe there isn't a thread dedicated to stupid things said by members of the media. I never thought anyone was dumber than Jeff Blair, then I heard Barker. I never thought anyone was dumber than Barker until I hear Ken Reid on Bobcat yesterday. I never thought anyone was dumber than Ken Reid until I just read this Barker quote and now it's confirmed. Barker is the dumbest...and with that quote, he's poised to go on a Cal Ripken streak.

    Oh c'mon - everyone loves the new Irish guy on Rock 95.

    C'mon Atothe - the doomsday predictors will be right one of these days! keep the faith. I think to some fans, one long playoff run and/or a World Series Championship is all worth it, even if it sets the franchise back 5 years. I'm not one of those fans, but you certainly can tell they exist (Ken Reid is one of them - he's a maroon).

    Oh my bad, his 1.5 RoS would be the 3rd best RoS on the Jays....f***.
  8. Brownie19
    I was just making a point that he's had a great season so far (in light of the fact many believe he's overrated - me included). Venable has 0.4 RoS. Is a 1.1 WAR upgrade over 2 months a lot? Obviously everything would depend on what that upgrade costs.
  9. Brownie19
    He's got 3.0 WAR on the season, which would be 2nd best on the Jays.
  10. Brownie19
    wat? we aren't talking Placido here man.
  11. Brownie19
    Papelbon
  12. Brownie19
    Why would he if he's dealt to a real contender for prospects?
  13. Brownie19
    Isn't this just a move to help limit his innings? He's already been hurt this year and hasn't been very good as a starter. Accordingly, this moves seems logical. Gibby needs to use Hendriks more.
  14. Brownie19
    So has Sanchez....
  15. Brownie19
    That all seems logical to me. I find it funny when fans rip the organization without knowing all (or even any) of the facts.
  16. Brownie19
    Like how Oakland got Lester and Shark last year?
  17. Brownie19
    You mean if you acquire MVP candidates / all-stars you should be given a bit of a leash? shocking.
  18. Brownie19
    Why on earth would you try to treat every prospect the same?
  19. Brownie19
    Yeah...You missed my sarcasm...
  20. Brownie19
    Yep - my bad. Ang is the offender. My point is lots of good organizations end up giving PA's or IP's to players who don't produce above replacement level. Their reasons for doing that varies a lot.
  21. Brownie19
    You're ignoring the fact you listed Dickey, Bonifacio (who's had 3.0 WAR and 2.1 WAR season), Izturis (who was consistently above replacement level as a part time player throughout his career) and Esmil Rogers, who actually wasn't below replacement level in 137 innings in 2013. Anyway - I agree, Colabello sucks. He's turned back into a pumpkin and should never have been in LF to start with. My point is it's easy even look at successful teams and cherry pick decisions they have made. I don't fault the Jays organization for giving Dickey, Boni or Izturis an opportunity. I also don't fault them for giving some of their better prospects a chance at the ML level (2012 Drabek, 2013 JPA, Sanchez). That narrows it down to Laffey, McGowan, Goins and Colabello. All of them are 25th roster guys - these things happen. Colabello's still at a wRC+ of 143 on the year - I don't have an issue with him getting some PA's at DH.
  22. Brownie19
    You really are stupid.
  23. Brownie19
    Last year the Royals gave Butler 600 PA at below replacement level (-0.6 WAR). They gave Aaron Crow 59 innings at -1.1 WAR. They kept Bruce Chen beyond his expiry date and wasted innings on Tim Collins and Louis Coleman. They also let Jimmy Parades and Liam Hendrix go for nothing. This year they have given Infante 300 PA and Rios 170 PA and both are well below replacement level. They are the only ones on earth who didn't notice that Jeremy Guthrie sucks and continue to give him innings. Last year the Giants had Cain, Romo, Gutierrez and Lopez all pitch at or below replacement level This year the Giants have wasted 342 PA's on Angel Pagan and have given big innings to Hudson, Casilla, Machi, Vogelsong (who they chose to re-sign), Petit and Affedlt - all who have been awful this year and at or below replacement level. These organizations must be really f***ing dumb too.......oh....wait a minute.

    I'd fire all the coaches and scouts then. One would assume AA simply listened to the people who worked with Gomes on a daily basis in the minors who suggested he couldn't stick behind the plate. Do you blame the Pirates for letting Jose go? Do you blame the Reds for letter Edwin go? Do you blame the Cubs for letting Donaldson go? Sometimes in baseball - you get lucky. Different players "click" with different hitting coaches, or they figure it out at different points in their career. There are situations where there's nobody to blame and the Gomes one seems like it. For all we know, he actually dedicated himself to the weigh room and video room after being dealt to Cleveland, which gave him the stamina to become a fulltime catcher and the knowledge to be a good defensive catcher (look how much Iannetta improved his defense in one offseason).
  25. Brownie19
    Enough with this Yan Gomes thing. Nobody expected him to be a regular.
