  1. Get it done Shatkins.
  2. 2018 has sucked but at least we will always have this.
  3. I think if Smoak was going to move it would have happened in August. If a team was willing to part with anything interesting Shatkins would have been all ears. 1B and DH types just aren't really in demand anymore. And I would still think they would much prefer to part with Morales despite taking a lesser return. At least Smoak can actually play an average First Base while Morales is limited to 14 other teams in the American League.
  4. That's definitely not a guarantee anymore. They will trade him if he gets on a rehab assignment before August 31st. That window is rapidly closing though.
  5. If Donaldson is back next season I think they should rotate Vlad and Donaldson around 1B, 3B, and DH with Donaldson DHing at least twice a week. The real issue is Donaldson accepting that. I assume his first priority will be playing 3B everyday somewhere. I don't think it makes sense to roster both Smoak and Morales so it would be nice if at least one of them is moved out regardless. Both will be in the final year of their contracts. Shouldn't be difficult.
  6. I don't think they have any interest in giving Donaldson $18M guaranteed or whatever the qualifying offer will amount to next year. That is why they are desperately trying to get him healthy enough to get him on a rehab assignment so they can place him on waivers and move him by August 31st for anything that's close enough value to the compensation pick they would receive for him. And its highly unlikely he would decline the qualifying offer at this point anyway.
  7. 15 keepers? Are a majority of those non NHL players locked in? I'm in a 16 team league and we only get to keep 6. 15 seems excessive to me.
  8. Blue Jays run a pretty expensive mentorship program. Morales mentoring LGJ for $12M in 2019 Martin mentoring Jansen for $20M in 2019 Tulo mentoring Bichette for $38M (including buyout) through 2020 They should just leave Vlad Jr. alone hes doing fine all by himself.
  9. Travis Bergen is looking like an interesting left-handed reliever at New Hampshire. His numbers have been stellar at both Dunedin and Double-A. I wouldn't be shocked if hes a guy that could be a potential out of nowhere add in September. Lots of strikeouts and very few walks. He's 24 but injuries really slowed down is progress. 7th round pick in 2015. Fastball is 92-95, has a decent cuter, and his slider has some swing and miss movement. The report I read on him mentioned he also hides the ball well so he has some deception going for him as well.
  10. If they replaced Tabler with a more saber friendly former player to go along with the combo of Buck Martinez and Dan Shulman I would never complain about the broadcast team again. Tabler has been saying the same things every game for over 20 years. I get it hes a great dude. Bring him out to alumni events instead stop putting him on television please.
  11. He claims he does not want to uproot his family. I believe he also has a lot of commitments to the community in the Baltimore area as well. But playing for a contending team for a month and half sounds like a lot of fun if I'm a Baseball player. They even moved him to RF in hopes they could push him out as well.
  12. Considering a s*** load of prospects don't pan out. I am still ecstatic at the return for Liriano. We could do a lot worse at DH in the short term. Even though Morales has gone ape s***.
  13. I don't think I could be a fan of a team if I didn't have any faith in the people running the team. That would just be insane. Hometown or not punishing myself doesn't seem like a healthy and productive way to spend my free time.
  14. People who comment on Sportsnet or Facebook have no idea what wRC+ is They see Edwin's 81 RBI compared to Morales 48 and the conversation is over. Also I still miss Edwin. But Morales has been quite good since June.
  15. I can't believe Adam Jones is choosing to stay.
  16. He certainly looks like a Baseball out there. That's for sure!
  17. Possibly as a long man or a swing man. I certainly hope hes not pencilled in the starting 5 next year. And I see no reason why that scenario would take place. Ideally you would like to have him in Buffalo as starting depth like he began this year.
  18. Wait what did Daniel Murphy do? Did Law catch him jay-walking in beautiful Arizona
  19. Could you imagine Kendrys Morales in Coors Field! Ho Man!
  20. His control should make him an attractive trade chip plus he has some power that plays a decent Shortstop. The answer to that question is depending on what you can get in return. We are definitely going to have to get rid of the infield glut. I have no idea if Tulo will ever play again but I assume both Travis and Solarte are gone next season so Diaz might be our best option at SS unless they want Gurriel Jr to have the job and see what he could do.
  21. Looks like we got Ryan Bukaki today.
  22. It isn't very hard to make Keith Law look stupid. But you absolutely demolished him on his timeline. I am surprised it went on that long. My goodness gracious people pay to read this guys s***.
  23. No way Stroman survives to see Pardinho. Stroman might already be gone if he was pitching well this season.
  24. His on base was still over .350 on 0-2 counts. Jesus Christ lol
