    i'm going to have an assault on Ken Holland for giving Ericsson $9.25M trying to understand the scale here... if Ericsson's worth 9M+ and Ehrhoff's worth 40M, then Yandle's worth 723M and Doughty 11.2B, i think
  2. sneakypower
    damn :(
  3. sneakypower
    with a 3.1 BB% this year, Borbon would fit right in here and Davis sucks, too
  4. sneakypower
    it's really annoying that stars fall in SJs lap every offseason: Boyle, Thornton (ok, in-season), Heatley and now Burns Setoguchi is nowhere near that valuable
  5. sneakypower
    he waved it
  6. sneakypower
    yeah, i honestly don't know why i'm not the GM of this damn team yet
  7. sneakypower
    that was Alex Gordon, last year maybe Juan Francisco qualifies, i'd like him if he came cheap enough
  8. sneakypower
    to me, he's not even a consideration until both Pujols and Fielder are signed (elsewhere) but guys like him who are useful but blocked are who i'd always want to pursue in trades, like when your buddy ordered too much at lunch and you're like "hey you gonna eat those fries?"
  9. sneakypower
    at his current pace, he'd reach 3,000 by the age of 35

    Flyers going nuts right now Richards to L.A. for Schenn, Simmonds Carter to Columbus for Voracek, 1st, 3rd presumably all to fit in a 7-year deal to Bryzgalov @ $7M per doesn't look like a very good sequence of moves at all, from my vantage point
  11. sneakypower
    yeah, why didn't we ever pursue Peavy, anyway?
  12. sneakypower
    chasing a $100K bottle of champagne with 135 bud lights completely blows my mind
  13. sneakypower
    the Sedins shouldn't even qualify because they're at such a distinct advantage over the rest of the players in the league; what other team commits to leave two star players together for every single shift they ever take? was surprised to see The Perfect Human take the Norris with a minus rating, not that he didn't deserve it
  14. sneakypower
    he's a great penetrator, passer, can rebound well for a PG, but his jump shot needs work
  15. sneakypower
    since we're going to be a bad team for the immediate future anyway i'm more than fine leaving him at SS to see if he improves, but early returns are moderately troubling looking at RZR: for the past two seasons, amongst the 23 qualifying SS, he's the 3rd worst at making plays in his zone (more or less "routine" plays) but he's in the top third for % of his plays made out of zone, which would suggest he's got poor instincts and good athleticism. that's already the perception about him, but the fielding data also backs that up UZR considers him a -6 SS to this point, which is actually fairly promising, all things considered, but TotalZone paints the grimmest picture, labeling Castro a -17 fielder thus far if you believe the latter is the more reliable of the two metrics, then there's little chance he can stay at short long-term without being a considerable detriment

    so, is Justin Bour the new Brandon Sing?
  17. sneakypower
    Cedeno had a nine-year prime of .293/.362/.467 where he averaged 29 2B, 16 HR, 49 SB (131 games) to go with 5 GGs in CF and 5 top-25 MVP finishes, before injuries marginalized him Trout's upside exceeds that only for duration, if he's actually able to sustain health over his career, which not many stud CFs are able to do he could just as easily flame out early like Erstad
  18. sneakypower
    what, no for upsides: Trout – Cesar Cedeno Harper – healthy Josh Hamilton
  19. sneakypower
    i'd love to see Sabathia to opt out of his contract and come here for something like 6 x $18M
  20. sneakypower
    Al Albuquerque is going to challenge Marmol's K/9 record, set last year he's at 15.49 and he needs 15.99 to tie the record
  21. sneakypower
    a Shea Hillenbrand career
  22. sneakypower
    but come on bro mike leach? robin leach?
  23. sneakypower
    can't have a much worse day than that on the farm, for the hitting side
  24. sneakypower
    you figure Hendry would probably be really stingy with Halloween candy, actually
  25. sneakypower
    5 R in 6 IP vs. 8 R in 5-1/3 IP well that settles it, we traded for the right pitcher
