    Paul Martin to Pitt, per Bob McKenzie on Twitter

    better Leighton than Turco at 2-3x the price, that's for sure
  4. sneakypower
    wow they're going to have such a deadly PP with Karlsson and Gonchar on the point

    Lundqvist Rask Halak Vokoun Bryzgalov and maybe Hiller are guys i probably like better than Nabokov and Luongo

    i wouldn't be too shocked to see Soriano moved to 1B to make room for Colvin only, the terrifying aspect of that is the assumption management would have that he could never make the switch back to the OF in the future
  8. sneakypower
    if he finishes the no-hitter, he'll definitely be over 150 pitches, just insane
  9. sneakypower
    he totaled ~18 wins in value over 6 seasons, with his worst two years being only slightly below average as a player i don't know how i can phrase that for you without getting caught in a fruitless semantics argument, but nonetheless it's more than fair to call him a consistent 3-win player
  10. sneakypower
    But again, it's not that he gave up future hall of famers. He gave up valuable trade pieces for a useless player. he was a consistent 3 win player, far from useless
  11. sneakypower
    Nolasco...hasn't been all that great, and Pierre's comp pick helped us get Harden that trade, and even more so Pierre's tenure, has been so stupidly sensationalized
  12. sneakypower
    has there ever been a single player who has succeeded in the majors despite a complete inability to control the strike zone in the early levels of the minors for such a prolonged period of time? i can't think of a single flattering player comparison to make for Vitters, statistically. there's no precedent.
  13. sneakypower
    Colvin strikes out more often than even Dunn, Pena and Branyan but doesn't walk so it's probably gonna get pretty ugly when his HR/FB (2nd highest in the league) and unsustainable BABIP come crashing to earth i'm not rooting against the guys i listed, just saying i don't have hope for them anymore
  14. sneakypower
    You can't possibly be serious. Concerns? Yes. Completely writing them off? Definitely not.Vitters completely doesn't walk whatsoever, and doesn't make enough good contact to even remotely justify that at all. oh, and he can't field. what's replacement level hitting for a bad fielding MLB first baseman, 750-800 OPS? yeah, i'll take the under. look at Burke's last 5 seasons and tell me what doesn't fit. you guys act like there are hordes of productive ballplayers that sucked in the minors for a long time until their tools somehow magically materialized one day, but that doesn't really ever happen.
  15. sneakypower
    he threw an 89 mph change to McCutchen and the announcer said "fastball right by him" yeah, maybe for a mere mortal
  16. sneakypower
    he'll never be ready.
  17. sneakypower
    you would?
  18. sneakypower
    you could argue Soto deserves to be Olivo's backup at C
  19. sneakypower
    stick a fork in 'em: prospects i have zero hope left for vitters burke lake
  20. sneakypower
    just perfect execution there
  21. sneakypower
    Pronger committed a penalty? impossible
  22. sneakypower
    WOW WOW WOW
  23. sneakypower
    Why? Yeah for real. I hope he strikes out all 27 batters on 3 pitches each. Here's a thought... of all the pitchers out there today, would it be safe to say that Strasburg represents the best chance for a pitcher to match and/or surpass the 20K in a single game mark at some point in his career? i think Scherzer could, if he were more economical it'd be interesting to see what our closer could do K-wise with 7 or 8 innings of work, not that i'm necessarily advocating that
  24. sneakypower
    WIETERS?!?!?
  25. sneakypower
    so i'm in a dynasty league (5x5 + OBP, SLG, hitters K, pitchers L) and somebody actually accepted a Sandoval for Derek Holland swap. it's a pretty shallow league, so there's quite a bit of good quality pitching still in FA (Scherzer, Cueto, Chacin, Marcum, Cecil, Bumgarner). but for 3B, the best available players are Reynolds (unplayable b/c of K, BA, OBP), Freese, Beltre, Walker. note: Sandoval was the best 3B in the game last year under these settings. Bad Trade, or Worst Trade?
