    Adam Warren just didn't want it bad enough, I guess.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Well, we all know why.

    What an awesome inning. Happ and Castellanos are shaping up to be the damn heroes of the second half.

    The only thing saving Almora from being the most useless player on the 40 man is the presence of Addison Russell. What a gigantic bust.

    Regardless of the person I cannot stand either variation of the shortened name. "Javi" is the only one of those types of nicknames that I don't mind, and even that bugs me a bit (though at least it's an actual damn name) because of the context when a dunce like Maddon (or any of the other managers who have done it) says it. It sounds like someone talking about a 5-year-old. Like, get out of here with that "Stropy" horsefeathers.

    Everything suddenly makes sense...
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Jeez, who horsefeathers in your cereal?

    Willson is listed as being just 2 inches shorter, so I wouldn't sweat that too much.

    I'm looking at it more like moving a catcher to 1B as opposed to an OFer being moved to 1B, which seems to have a better track record. I'd still rather move Contreras there most of all. I believe in his bat, and would love the win-win of getting him out of the meat grinder that is a career catching, and getting his framing out of there, which I most definitely do not believe in.

    I mean, Rizzo is younger, more valuable, cheaper and wouldn't be leaving town on the back of losing his mind and smashing TVs in the clubhouse like Santana. Plus, like you said, Goldschmidt was traded in his final year; Rizzo for all intents and purposes has 2 seasons left. I dunno; I just like to think he'd net a decent return.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    I don’t see that being the case. He’s likely more valuable to us than what he returns. Even if he only costs like $29 mil the next two years total on options. 1B aren’t valued that highly and then we’d have to replace him with some clod like Matt Adams or Mitch Moreland. I’d be surprised if Rizzo returned much more than a Cishek level RP, a top 100 but not top 75 prospect and a lotto ticket A ball prospect. Just give him 4/60-80 with 1-2 option years (either team, mutual or vesting based on performance benchmarks). I'd move a more long term valuable internal candidate like Contreras to 1B if Rizzo was traded, or someone like Schwarber, who would hopefully benefit by playing a less defensively challenging position. But that would suck if he doesn't have much value with two ridiculous team-friendly years left.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Trading him on the back of these two VERY team-friendly team options the next two years is what makes the most sense to me (if we're talking from a brutally cold value assessment).

    It has to be satire. Edit: on second thought: do you remember tom29 from ten years ago or so? This person sounds like Tom studied sabrmetics at Phoenix College and came back with all the necessary skills to put us all in our place. Oh, damn; nice deep cut.

    The hilarious multi-car pileup of someone simultaneously flogging the meatballiest of meatball takes (that bad players suddenly becoming good when moved to a contending team is any kind of a thing) while hyper-obsessing over the drilldown stats of the tiniest of sample sizes is just a deliciously majestic lack of self-awareness.

    [dropshadow=blue]The Anthony Rizzo Games Without a Dong-o-Meter[/dropshadow]: [glow=red][fade]9 GAMES[/fade][/glow] That doesn't sound too bad, until you realize that he's hit 1 in his last 16 games, and ONLY 2 IN HIS LAST 43 GAMES. Has he been possessed by the drunken astral projection of Mark Grace?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Payback drubbing, you scum.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I love this new A's guy's putting challenge.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Wait to Edith Cox it up, you guys.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Addison Russell should get gonorrhea and rot in the minors.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Also: MORE LIKE PUKEROY.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    I am intrigued by the "for long" part, because it implies he didn't suck the entire time.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    HUZZAH.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Well, I completely forgot this game was happening.

  25. Sammy Sofa
    That was actually fun.
