    a normal honest answer is to not admit you horsefeathers up in the world series win what are you saying mistakes aren't mistakes as long as the outcome is good or what are you saying DOES NOT COMPUTE

    his swing is IDENTICAL, that's hilarious
  4. imb
    these are funny responses given that the general theme in game 6 and game 7 was that maddon needed to be fired because of how he handled chapman and the end of those two games.

    Why would the astros give up Reed and Musgrove for only Odorizzi?
  6. imb
    He was # 24 for most of his stops in the minors but Valbuena had that. Umber when Soler came up to the big leagues. "horsefeathers kneeling and horsefeathers oaths, I've got a number for you."

    maybe the white sox are cutting them a break since they got such a good deal in the sale/eaton trades

    Dexter Folwer hit a leadoff home run in a Game 7 we ultimately won. He could sign with ISIS and I'd love him forever.
  12. imb
    look at it this way, he's only going to be good for probably two years of the contract, and they're not going to be as good as us during that period anyway. Then in the final three years when he's hitting .210 and confined to a COF spot, he'll be soaking up $18m of their payroll.

    it's nothing like that really Sure it is No

    It's over, motherhorsefeathers :(

    I'm surprised Polanco was a net zero on defense. Damn. But there you go. And baserunning too
  16. imb
    Searching for guys who were net zeroes on defense last year, I came up with Mike Trout (lol), Johnathan Schoop, and Gregory Polanco Polanco is interesting because his numbers look like what you could hope for from a healthy Soler (.258/.323/.463) and he was worth 2.5 WAR
  17. imb
    Yeah, but Trumbo's defense brought that down a lot. We're not counting that. Soler will probably walk more, too. And I don't think Javy can pull off what he did again. That was a freakish and probably flukish defensive contribution. My basic idea here is that Javy had a lot go right (both purposely and accidentally) to get to his WAR total and will be exposed as his role is expanded. I have no idea if what he did defensively is repeatable but I definitely doubt it. (FWIW, I voted Javy, but I think it's a lot closer than this poll result suggests) Oops, I didn't realize that, i was under the impression trumbo was primarily a DH

    Mark Trumbo hit 47 bombs last year and finished with 2.2 WAR. Baez had just 450 PA, walked 3 percent of the time (lol) and finished with 2.7. I'm gonna go with Javy

    horsefeathers this is a good post
  20. imb
    ok but really. is going from rondon/edwards/strop/davis to edwards/strop/davis/chapman(or Jansen) worth $18m a year? Honestly, I don't expect a lot from Strop or Rondon this year. They worry me. And I don't expect the Cubs to go after Jansen because I think they are trying to build Edwards to be the closer for next year with Davis in the helm this year. But yeah, I think another World Series while basically cutting the game down to 6 innings max is worth 18M, if they chose to go that way. going from edwards to jansen doesn't really guarantee a world series i dont think.
  21. imb
    I mean it sounds cool but what is that actually worth It's worth $90M from a team about to win back to back World Series and also get their own TV network. ok but really. is going from rondon/edwards/strop/davis to edwards/strop/davis/chapman(or Jansen) worth $18m a year?
  22. imb
    There's just not much precedent for closers as dominant and as young as Chapman and Jansen hitting FA. It won't happen, but imagine if the Cubs swooped in on Jansen now. You could basically have hockey lines of elite relievers. I mean it sounds cool but what is that actually worth
  23. imb
    Maybe someone can convince me it's smart, but I am absolutely opposed to giving out 5-year contracts to a closer, much less for $90m or whatever.
  24. imb
    Yeah if I was a Sox fan I would be freaking thrilled right now. Even given the volatility of pitching prospects, that's a worthy haul for eaton
  25. imb
    Yeah, Eaton is the guy who said the white sox "lost a leader" when they lost DRAKE LAROCHE LOL
