    I'd rather see him pitch. I mean, I'm not saying the guy should never step to the plate; I just think it's silly to try and get him hundreds of AB's a season. You only have to get him 100-200 ABs once. If he can't hang, he's smart enough to know. Or maybe he's such a freak that he'll just make himself better. Or maybe you get a 14 WAR player. It literally doesn't matter. Promise him whatever it takes to get him here. If he can't do it well enough, keep him out of the lineup. What's he gonna do, retire? Exactly. Like I said, a bunch of AB's in the 100+ range makes sense; lie, lie, lie.

    You wanna watch the next Jon Jay slap singles and doubles as the 4th OF, or do you want to see this? I'd rather see him pitch. I mean, I'm not saying the guy should never step to the plate; I just think it's silly to try and get him hundreds of AB's a season.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    I WANT them to promise him all the AB's he wants. But I want that promise to be a dirty, sexy lie.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Wait, I thought the scouting reports were saying that his hitting ability likely wouldn't amount to much over here?
  10. Sammy Sofa
    I'm skeptical of how well it could work, since that much playing in the field might impact his pitching(more from an effectiveness standpoint than injury risk). But if Otani was only a hitter, that type of part time/platoony role would be well within reason, so if they think he can pull it off with him starting in the OF against RHP a couple times a week on top of near-daily pinch hitting, then I don't think it's out of the question to try it. Personally, I wouldn't want much more than Zambrano-type usage. I don't want a guy you're thinking could be an ace to be adding the extra risk of getting drilled by a pitch or injured on the base paths too much. So, what, 100-120ish PA?

    So basically we want Theo to sexily lie to his face, because in no sane world does anyone want a prized pitcher getting a ton of extra unnecessary AB's, right?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    man this guy is always saying some off the wall horsefeathers lmao Im drunk on the love of knowing Garrison Keillor is off the air
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I mean, it's not like it's an AAV...just a signing bonus. Yeah, that's true. Dammit, I had already resigned myself to accepting the dumb Yankees getting him. STUPID HOPE.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Where in the horsefeathers have you been? Our president literally insults every person he meets. If youre thinking or expecting anything at all you are doing it wrong Uh....
  16. Sammy Sofa
    He probably did drink away the brain cells that remember Edwin Jackson.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I get that he's left a ton on the table by coming over early, but that's still a pretty significant drop to go from what the Yankees can offer vs. the Cubs. I think it's safe to say that if he picks the Cubs then the guy really doesn't care much (relatively) about the money right now. Yeah, it's "only" passing on $3 million+...but it's to settle on $300k. Yowza.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Man, if this kid actually turns out to be some kind of freak who really doesn't care about money at all, I won't know what to believe going forward.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    HAIKU FAIL.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    The Yankees absolutely can win this with money. They don't have to do anything remotely shady to do so, so bringing up the Braves is just yet another bizarre tangent.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Puig is more famous than everyone on the Cubs put together. http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/pthththt.gif

    The Dodgers’ most popular players all played for the Brooklyn Dodgers outside of Koufax. They’re hacks. Their fans don’t give a horsefeathers, and not in the all in Raiders fans kind of way but a leave because they’re bored and there will be traffic kind of way. Also our Rizzo and Bryant are way better than their Rizzo and Bryant. The most famous athlete on the planet for the past theee decades or so played for a Chicago sports franchise. Yes, Michael Jordan certainly existed.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    I don't agree with that at all. Hell, David Ross is arguably the most famous person from the WS team (COME AT ME, BROS). Bottom line, if it's about fame/name recognition, nothing beats if you're perceived as a great player on a good Yankees team. That trounces the Dodgers, too. So you’re measuring based on your perception? Of course. I'm not some kind of David-like fame detecting robot; I'm just some dude with an opinion and a keyboard.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Chicago fans across the sports love to always flog how market doesn't matter, and time after time it clearly does. Doesn't matter how many times they get punched in the dick, that record keeps skipping. If they could spend the money, yeah, it's arguably less of an issue. But with the guy basically having to take peanuts to start out with the Cubs, it ain't crazy to think he'd prefer to look at teams in bigger markets with good teams who can pay him more.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    How are you measuring fame or level of celebrity? I would argue Star players from good Cubs teams are every bit as famous as Yankee or Dodger superstars. I don't agree with that at all. Hell, David Ross is arguably the most famous person from the WS team (COME AT ME, BROS). Bottom line, if it's about fame/name recognition, nothing beats if you're perceived as a great player on a good Yankees team. That trounces the Dodgers, too.
