    Wada put up .8fWAR in 69 1/3IP last year to go with a 3.75FIP and 3.96xFIP. I fail to see how 4M is steep.
  2. Tryptamine
    Estrada isn't likely to keep giving up HR at a rate of 1.75/9IP. My biggest problem with him as a pitcher is the lack of ability to pitch big innings in a season. Isn't that only fair though? Estrada can't pitch a full season and Lind can't be an everyday player.
  3. Tryptamine
    Blue Jay fans are absolutely livid, but i don't know that it's such a bad deal. If Estrada regains 2012/2013 form he's a very solid pitcher. Lind, on the other hand, is a platoon guy with subpar defense although he does rake pretty hard against righties.
  4. Tryptamine
    This is dumb logic, because by the time that contract is terrible, Schwarber will be starting and hitting 30 dongs a year for almost free so it won't matter if we're paying him $5M a year to catch once a week. Am I missing something? Why would we only be paying him 5M a year when he's going to get 15M annually?
  5. Tryptamine
    I would like to hear your justification for that comparison. Because in other sports draft picks are what are involved when one team is found to be guilty of tampering. In this case, a top 10 prospect is significantly more valuable than one or two mid 1st round picks.
  6. Tryptamine
    I'd love to see Rosenthal's justification for that type of compensation. Taking a top 10 prospect in the game would be like stripping a teams first rounder for several years. Best case scenario Rays end up with a Corey Black type prospect and even that is unlikely.
  7. Tryptamine
    A catcher who is going to be 32 when the season starts and coming off a career year and likely to 15M a year over 3 or 4 years. Yeah, I'll pass.
  8. Tryptamine
    And yet there was still speculation that he might get 20M annually.
  9. Tryptamine
    Kind of hate you.

    did this actually happen? wtf? People over on GRB brought it up.
  11. Tryptamine
    In what I can honestly say is one of the worst twitter decisions I've ever heard of, Oscar's teammate Carlos Martinez posts a picture of the body on Twitter. Wtf?

    It's really sad to think of what a talent this kid was likely to become. He had superstar written all over him. RIP

    Was the price really absurd? Like SSR I may have imagined this, but my recollection is that Hamels' pricetag was taking on his entire contract and offering up at least one of the top prospects in the system(read: Baez), probably 2. I remember reading that the Phillies wanted Russell just to start with. Also, there was that rumor that Amaro asked LA for Urias,Pederson and Seager which I wouldn't believe if it wasn't Amaro.
  14. Tryptamine
    One of Cueto or Latos is going to have to be made available right? I can't imagine the Reds go for it and risk losing both of them at the end of the year for nothing more than draft picks.

    I'm looking at the 2014 Oriole rotation and noticing a glaring trend of ERAs way below they would expected to be based on peripherals. The question is, can all of this be attributed to a very good defense? Chris Tillman: 3.34ERA 4.01FIP 4.20xFIP .267babip Miguel Gonzales: 3.23ERA 4.89FIP 4.46xFIP .273babip Wei-yin Chen: 3.54ERA 3.89FIP 3.75xFIP .296babip Bud Norris: 3.65ERA 4.22FIP 3.98xFIP .279babip

    Alright, 2:15 left to get Forte and Jeffrey some blow out fantasy points.
  17. Tryptamine
    Way to tuck that ball away Rosario. Next time just hold it out so they can grab it.
  18. Tryptamine
    Honestly can't remember the last time Williams got to the 20.
  19. Tryptamine
    That fumble sack was on mills Many bad throws and bad decision on 3rd and 1 to start the game Why was going deep on the third play of the game a bad decision? If Cutler makes a better throw Alshon would have caught it.
  20. Tryptamine
    Nice gratuitous dig at the Cubs there.
  21. Tryptamine
    I really do hate Nelson Cruz, especially when his cheating ass is carrying the Orioles.
  22. Tryptamine
    Look up the Japanese translation for the #5 guys last name.
  23. Tryptamine
    I don't see anyway possible the Tigers spend over 100M on just their starting 5. Verlander=28M Sanchez=16M Scherzer>=25M Price=20M Porcello=11M Lester=Cubs Scherzer=Yankees Shields=Boston Maeda=LAD
  24. Tryptamine
    Otani and Fujinami are going to get ridiculous contracts when they end up coming over. I bet both of them exceed 200M.
  25. Tryptamine
    I honestly cannot remember a WS team with rotation nearly as terrible as Baltimore's. If they take out KC and get there I'm going to be absolutely baffled.
