    And even saying that I don't think he's going to get $15 million per.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Wait, suddenly $15 million is overpaying for Upton? What the [expletive]? This getting absurd.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Baseball's yesteryear...when the walls would often be covered in ads.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    I'm tired of this runt of a season.
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Excellent.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    It's not crazy at all. Certainly not as crazy as thinking of passing over Upton because of Brett [expletive] Jackson.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    No way, man.

    It was "ha ha. burp." before "ha ha. burp." was a thing.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    What? No.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Cespedes, Darvish, Wilson and, to a lesser degree, Pujols, though "haunt" is a really loaded word. I think it's unfortunate they missed out on all of them and basically started from the bottom up when they didn't have to, especially when they can't throw nearly as much money into drafting and IFA as it's clear they were hoping/intending to.

    Stewart isn't a question, you jackwagon my hope is to woo Stephen Drew (with money) for 2B, sign BJ Upton for CF, and be left without a single weak spot in the lineup; Castillo can hit 8th and probably be perfectly fine go after Liriano/Anibal/Marcum/Peavy? to augment the rotation and you shore up just about everything for roughly the price of one Cole Hamels* *i may be underselling what these three will get, who the hell knows Definitely agree on Drew. The problem with Upton is that we don't know what we have in Jackson yet, so I wouldn't want to pay what he'd cost unless we were sure that Jackson woudlnt pan out. That's a terrible philosophy. I mean, MAYBE you could argue for that if Jackson had a shot to be a slam dunk, but he doesn't. If he pans out he's likely going to be a useful, solid player, but not someone you have to bypass productive FA for.

    2B, 3B, C and the entire OF are pretty big [expletive] questions in that lineup.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    That's hysterical. I'm a big fan of cyborg umps, but I'd weirdly miss stuff like this; it's entertaining as hell.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    HUGE middle ground you're glossing over there. And also pretty intellectually dishonest to act like all of those things are as likely as relying on prospects and IFA hampered by the new CBA or trades.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Or he'd just be added to the pile. Seems more likely.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    OK, so it's not a word that makes any sense in that context. Bumgarner is pretty cool.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Agree to disagree. You don't think there's a realistic shot they could be a mediocre or bad team in 2014? We're getting into semantics now, but my expectation is that they're 5-7 games better than last year in 2012, and 5-7 games better than that(if not more) in 2013. I think this year is the last year for the forseeable future that winning less than 75 games is a significant/probable outcome. I hope you're right.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    And I know "realistic" is a broad term; I'm not saying they're necessarily likely to be a bad/middling team in 2014, but it wouldn't surprise if that was what happened given the way they're seemingly trying to build this team.

    "Ratting" is not a word. And a little bit of column A and a little bit of column you're insane.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    There's been a few, but most are simply recognizing that there's a good shot that this team sucks next year, too. And it's not a stretch to think things don't work out as hoped and they're bad beyond that.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    What "freaking out?"
  23. Sammy Sofa
    But maybe something happened between the last time somebody considered a change and now? Actual news, son.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    One again: actual news, the thread titles change.
