    Being honest, that's kind of hard to read. A newcomer to the site would have a hard time with it. Not great branding

    No one remind them about Arietta

    Based on what? Japan? Japan, his MLB career (not that it means anything other than he was a good hitter when he was here and then remained so in Japan). Looking back at his numbers, he kinda sucked in 2015, though. I'm not saying he's ready to OPS .800 again or anything. We're talking about a 5th outfielder here, though. Either way, not a big deal. Maybe Victorino would do better. Who the [expletive] knows. Let's go with novelty as my tie-breaker. I think the biggest problem with Murton as a 5th OF is that he's likely to be a butcher defensively

    Murton isn't worth rostering just for nostalgia's sake. I can't imagine him being very good Who said anything about nostalgia? I'm saying I think he's better than Victorino and at least a better hitter than Szczur. Based on what? Japan?

    And how many fourth quarters has he sat out? Ridiculous

    Cano? :lol:

    Wow...that's pretty harsh. Not sure why the statement was necessary though. tl:dr - "Twitter is the worst"

    This is the most NSBB fight ever

    They aren't all that dissimilar of offensive players well, last year Frazier was a 4.0 fWAR and Bruce was a 0.8 fWAR
  12. Derwood
    a Reds fan on Facebook said "why are people okay with this trade but freaked out about Frazier? They're basically the same player"

    Yup, 1-3 now. And Jan 2, 2017 another at Busch Stadium. I have complete outdoor game fatigue. I didn't even watch yesterday, just followed on my phone just like any other game where I had something to do during it. And now another one? Blah. It is fun watching Wild and now Blues fans get excited about their outdoor games while Hawks fans are completely indifferent. The've definitely taken a novelty and driven it into the ground

    Fowler to O's looks done

    d'arnaud is no backup He must've been hurt, because he had the 2nd most PAs
  18. Derwood
    I thought it was "in the hole"
  19. Derwood
    In the hold?

    Dioner Navarro John Ryan Murphy Drew Butera Carlos Corporan Hank Conger Travis D'Arnaud Tony Cruz Chris Stewart AJ Ellis There's your list of backup catchers from last year's playoff teams. Every good team has awful backup catchers. This isn't worth spending any time worrying about

    He's also a super intense weirdo who probably doesn't fit in with anyone

    Expiring contracts are bad right now. With the cap going up next year, those players will be really expensive to re-sign Certainly doesn't help but didn't stop a big deadline last year. Last year was different. Next year the cap jumps $20 million. It jumps another $20 million the next (I believe). Players with multi-year contracts are now very valuable, as those players are cost controlled heading into an era of huge salary jumps

    What's funnier, this Facebook post by the Bulls, or the rash of comments crying about Hinrich getting traded away?

    oh look, another guy who thinks sabermetrics means predicting exact numbers for future seasons YAWN
