    Uh, it was there when I saw bukie's post at 7 AM.

    Man, there are some trifling, whining Dodgers fans all over those comments. Gotta say it's the first time I've seen the moral high ground through outspending everyone else argument. Yeah, I kinda could see fans of mediocre or crappy teams with smaller payrolls grumbling, but for fans of the team with payroll resources that blows everyone out of the water to be crying about how another team is built? Get the horsefeathers outta here with that.

    Huh. That was a cool read; I definitely assumed most of it would be due to commercials. Didn't expect the main culprit at all.

    But significantly less disappointed that you were with his 2016. Honestly, not by much; I was so excited when they signed him because of his age and the potential of him being even better than he had been so far, and him only bouncing back to that point wouldn't point to a very rosy future. Certainly not a disaster, but just a pretty big let down in terms of a player I'm a big fan of and was hoping for great things from. Ah well.

    I didn't say it was bad; just that I'd be disappointed with it given the contexts.

    Nobody, apparently. My mistake. Ah, it was TT's post about his '08 season that I got hung up on; I glossed over that you rightly pointed out his '09 and '10 seasons were better earlier. My bad.

    What? Nothing. The whole point is that even if he's only 08 Fukudome at the plate, he is a 3-4 win player. That's how high the floor is with his defense and baserunning. What what? People were throwing out Fukudome's 2008 like it was his good year or something. I just wanted that clarified; seems like a random comp. Right, and 3-4 win Jason Heyward is a disappointment because, as you yourself pointed out, that likely means he's not opting out. I don't see what's so crazy about saying I'd be let down by a Heyward who is simply less bad at the plate.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, I know; again, given his history prior to 2016, that would still seem like a pretty big disappointment.

    2008 Fukudome at the plate is kinda...not all that impressive. 2009 Fukudome, however, looks much better. 2010 even moreso (according to FG). Like, 2017 Heyward just being 2008 Fukudome would just mean he's less bad at the plate, not actually good. Again, just seems like really, really low expectations. What the heck sticks out to you guys about Fukudome's 2008 offensive value?
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Either you're tempering your expectations REALLY low for a really good player, or we have wildly different memories of Fukudome's offensive production. he was a bit below average in 2008 (91 wRC+) and a bit above average in 09 (110) and 10 (118). I would gladly take an 09 or 10 fukudome offensive year + his defense if you could guarantee them to me at this point. in heyward's good years, he's basically been at 120 3 times, 110 once, and 134 once. That seems like really settling when it comes to a player of Heyward's age with his history and his price tag.

    To be fair, this is also what it says on Theo's business card: http://i.imgur.com/Bs6teSB.jpg
  15. Sammy Sofa
    is that necessarily a bad thing? YMMV

    That shirt looks like the business card for a swanky Vegas escort service.

    How is that not my most popular post ever.

    Y'know, we laugh, but I can think of another famous Christian who was denied three times right before he faced his destiny... Yup, you guessed it: Hitler.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    that's not going to deter his biggest fans, most of them are very comfortable with 3 K's.

    Ice Cube's dick.

    No, I was continuing the bit.

    LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS.

    Fantastic user ID/profile pic; I'm pulling for the new guy to win if I am unjustly denied yet again.

    Tommy redeemed himself by catching the Anchorman reference immediately.
