    i really think they'll still get Price without Wood/Urias doing the full Rany Jazayerli / AJ Preller transaction rundown with Andrew Friedman's past 10 months would be about the most enraging/depressing exercise for a fan of any other team
  2. sneakypower
    It wouldnt surprise me if the dodgers give him his 200 million before the offseason either. There's absolutely no way that Friedman gives up Urias. That asking price is nuts for a 2 month rental of David Price. *3 month rental

    different information became available: his peripherals have improved, and nobody has panned out from the Jacob Turner/Travis Wood/Edwin Jackson/Tsyoshi Wada/Felix Doubront/Dan Straily?* group *don't remember the timing of that, if Shields signed before the Fowler trade edit: didn't realize how backloaded his deal was - 10 / 21 / 21 / 21, so maybe that's not a realistic option

    is Olivera worlds better than Peraza in terms of value? i don't see much indication to really think otherwise and evaluators have ranked them somewhat comparably beyond that they give up Paco Hernandez, currently disabled with elbow problems, and get back a really nice rental SP and a [expletive] 24-year-old current #2 starter i'm moderately incensed by this, it just makes absolutely zero sense, whatsoever...John Hart lost a bet / got black-out drunk

    all the angst here over Hamels should all instead be directed toward how [expletive] paltry the Alex Wood return looks to be he's Sale-lite, and it cost little more than a 30 year-old with 69 state-side ABs
  7. sneakypower
    amazingly Petco is 17th in P park factor (Wrigley is #4) i keep forgetting about Shields; they should be rightly viewing him as basically a salary dump and if that's the case he's infinitely preferable to Cole Hamels

    The well isn't dry at all; that's nonsense. And there's always the risk of ultimately regretting giving up a prospect. That's not a definitive reason in and of itself to not make moves to help the team right way. The Rangers gave up their 4th, 5th, 6th, 17th, 29th prospects and Matt Harrison for Cole Hamels. That's like the Cubs giving up Carl Edwards Jr, Duane Underwood, Albert Almora, Jen Ho Tseng, Jeremy Null, and Clayton Richard on a bigger salary for Hamels. No thanks. this is a pretty poor comparison since Texas (pre-trade) had a reasonably superior farm system in all honesty, the closest parallel i can come up with is something like Williams = Baez Alfaro = Contreras Thompson = McKinney Harrison = Travis Wood...or Castro? and then sure, Tseng and a nobody like Null would fit yeah, i'm gonna be a terrible, Theo/PTR-brainwashed fan and say no way in hell do i remotely consider meeting that price for the luxury of paying Cole Hamels market value for 3-4 years

    calm down there, at the very least we're still returning the same full pitching staff that's 4th or w/e in FIP
  10. sneakypower
    i always love when mojo starts spazzing out because we can't have one of the like 10 players he knows
  11. sneakypower
    definitive no, i think Hamels was the only shot at that
  12. sneakypower
    the likeliest thing to happen is we approximate the Montero return possibly even post-waiver-deadline for somebody like Ian Kennedy, and do little else
  13. sneakypower
    Sickels' midseason update: Nick Williams: #26 Thompson: #53 Alfaro: "76-85 area"

    what the [expletive] Puig?
  16. sneakypower
    Mike Leake
  17. sneakypower
    THIEF i saw the date on there, and got super confused until noticing the year, like i somehow forgot a comment i made this morning
  18. sneakypower
    stupid sexy Flande
  19. sneakypower
    it's like the Nomar trade because his lasting legacy in TOR will assuredly be writhing on the ground clutching at his leg
  20. sneakypower
    i'm fine with that idea, i've got most points in the East yet my season's effectively over...but i mean legitimately so, not like the usual GR lamentations after every loss
  21. sneakypower
    this is WSR-levels bad
  22. sneakypower
    mmmm, Barraclough...

    finding it in bb-ref's game finder... other recent pitchers to duplicate that achievement: Strasburg - 7 IP / 0 BB / 14 K Tanaka - 7 / 0 / 8 Grimm! - 6 / 0 / 7 Ty Matzek - 7 / 0 / 7 Matt Boyd - 6-2/3 / 0 / 7 and some old guys i've never heard of but Godley might actually be only P to do that while giving up no runs Mike Wright this year did 7-1/3 / 0 / 6 and Jeff Pico in '88 - 9 / 0 / 6 both were shutout outings but failed to reach 7 K threshold EDIT: [expletive] i now see it saying 'scoreless', yeah, checks out

    Johnny Cueto "He was also the first MLB pitcher to have 10 strikeouts and 0 walks in his debut" http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN200804030.shtml that's just going OTTOMH, i sincerely doubt Godley's feat is highly irregular

    thats what the David Ross is for!
