    I doubt the Yankees really had a choice between the two. I think that's Yankee spin to make it look like they got an even better deal even when they already got a good one

    I was sitting here telling my family that's what was coming. So awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    And that probably doesn't include the KB ASG dong

    I will root for Chapman to be amazing. I hope that we treat him like the Brewers treated Sabathia. Throw him every time you possibly can for as long as he dominates. Then, let his scumbag self go in the offseason after we've hopefully won a WS. Look, even if he never put his hands on a woman (which is incredibly unlikely) he never denied discharging his weapon in the garage, which might even be scarier for a woman to know that he blows off steam by firing his gun and having to think that maybe one day he will blow his top and turn the gun toward her. I hate that we are now tied to this lunatic, but as long as he is here he might as well pitch great.

    someone asked earlier about the STL reaction... this didn't come from their boards, but I was listening to some radio here in the STL area and they painted the trade as the Cubs giving up two of their top 5 prospects... I about did a spit take. McKinney hasn't been a top 5 Cubs prospect in how long?

    My guess: screaming at Ventura because he's a moron and demanding to be traded from such a terrible franchise

    no mention of mike conley? goodness, not sure how I forgot that... 5 years, 30.6 AAV... Conley is a very good PG, but yeah that's crazy money. For that matter, DeRozan is making 27.8 AAV over 5 also and Hassan Whiteside 24.5 AAV over 4
  8. Rex Buckingham
    Butler will make an AAV of just over $18 million over the next 4 years, free agents who will earn a similar AAV or higher: Timofey Mozgov, Ian Mahinmi (16) Evan Fournier (17) Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, Bismack Biyombo (18) Nicolas Batum(24!) Harrison Barnes, Chandler Parsons (23.5) Kent Bazemore, Evan Turner (17.5 Ryan Anderson (20) Bradley Beal (25.6) Fournier, Beal, and Batum are on 5 year deals, everyone else on 4 year deals...

    I'm not saying this is Cardinals-related, but I'm also not not saying that... 23 dumpster fires in STL last night [tweet] [/tweet]

    When fowler comes back it will make a big difference to have him in the lineup over Almora Jr. He doesn't have to be first couple myths Dex to give a huge boost at the top. 2015 Dex would be plenty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So who do you think is the source of these "rumors" of Jurgen to Southampton or England or anywhere but here? Is it Sunil trying to get rid of him? Or maybe trying to prop him up in a "see, other people want him too" kind of thing? Is it Jurgen/his agent trying to get more job security somehow? Is it some other source within the USSF? Or is it people dumb enough to think he would actually be a good hire?

    well, if there was any shred of doubt, this makes it as official as official gets that this is Jimmy's team. Contracts: Calderon: 7.7MM expiring Lopez: 13.8, 14.4

    Feels like it, but that's probably recency bias. There have been at least 6 instances this season, including 3 by the Phillies alone... there was also a game against Pittsburgh that was not close and the Pirates scored their lone run in the bottom of the 8th

    He had 3 offensive seasons that were clearly above average by ops+. Only those 3 seasons netted him over 3 WAR according to bbref Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Heard some guy on STL sports radio today - I think Miklasz - say Molina was a sure HOF pick... I about did a spit take Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Andy Masur used to do the 5th, right? and lol at Coomer not being sure a ball that ends up on Waveland getting out
  17. Rex Buckingham
    I think playoff game thread starters should be determined by a combination of regular season record, consistency (lack of missed turns), and creativity
  18. Rex Buckingham
    Coomer doesn't sound too optimistic that they will avoid a delay...

    you're right who was the other weirdo that used ellipses way too much toonster uses them often, especially in the minor league and college threads
  20. Rex Buckingham
    Better than Good Marmol? Doesn't he hold (or did he at one point hold) the single season k/9 record?
  21. Rex Buckingham
    I think they should just put him on the playoff rosters and let him be Kirk Gibson c.1988

    I gotta admit this has shakier legs to stand on than Trump asking Hilary Clinton on a date. :D :D But where smokes starts to appear in trickles there could be fire later on. I say wait until this year's Winter meetings and if the Halos flop badly this year they may reconsider. What is their GM really going to say, "Sure we are floundering and are ready to set up a flea market". You never say never. The Rangers traded ARod so who knows. GO CUBS!!! Pretty sure Texas traded A-Rod because they didn't want to keep paying his ridiculous contract

    Kawasaki has to be called up just to be Screech. Does that mean Jake is AC Slater? Totally ripped, good at everything...

    I don't care if Tunsil smoked the Pope's secret stash, draft him if he's available at 11. edit: or you know, at 9 after a trade with the Bucs
