  1. Yeah the pace of game really doesn't matter to me. Especially in terms of the importance of wanting to see so many other things done than trying to figure out a way to make the game 10 minutes shorter.
  2. http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Mr-Burns-Saying-Excellent.gif
  3. Should still be about another 2-3 weeks later with the 2nd WC now
  4. Lucroy has something like a $5 million team option next year. He isn't gonna be a FA
  5. Yeah it was either his hand or foot and he claimed she dropped it on him or accidentally slammed his foot/hand in it.
  6. - Netting extended to past the dugouts down the line - DH in both leagues - Automated strike zone - Expand the roster to 26 or 27 - Move the trade deadline back to the 3rd week of August or so - Allow draft picks to be traded inside the top 20, including day of the draft - Get rid of the Cardinals getting a competitive balance pick - Go back to old draft rules of allowing unlimited budgets/spending - Start researching HGH and other types of PEDs to see if they are safe/have minimal long-term effects and allow them and monitor usage if they are deemed safe (at least for players recovering from injuries/surgeries while they are on the DL) - The play in games include the 2 teams with the worst regular season records, not automatically the 2 WC teams - World Series home field advantage is given to the team with the best regular season record - More strict ruling on take out slides at 2B, idk exactly how to enforce this or what the punishments/fines should be, but need to clean up guys egregiously sliding dirty in to 2B nowhere close to the bag
  7. Molina doesn't get his cast off until mid-February on his thumb from his second surgery because they fucked it up the first time/it never took whatever they tried to fix and Carlos Martinez says he feels about 90% with his shoulder. I'd be pretty surprised if at least 1 of those guys doesn't miss significant time this year, if not both.
  8. Good
  9. I did and also got the 2 in the blackhawks thread just now.... so, idk. I don't get them from any of the new ones in the social, transactions, cubs or minor league thread tho. It should be wherever you've posted. User Control Panel || Board Preferences || Edit Notification Options Got it, that did it. Weird it was only notifying on new posts/threads in the Other Sports forum but whatever.
  10. Did you get a notification from this? I did and also got the 2 in the blackhawks thread just now.... so, idk. I don't get them from any of the new ones in the social, transactions, cubs or minor league thread tho.
  11. I keep getting a notification every time something is posted in the college basketball thread for some reason, not a big deal but it's only happening there every time there's a new post and nowhere else.
  12. Any idea how much revenue those things produce in a given year?
  13. With such a large gap on Arrieta I wonder if that leads to a 2 year contract for him to buyout his arbitration years. I think they should just roll with the arbitration years but like a 2/$25 contract seems about fair for him.
  14. I'd do 1 and 2 if it was Odorizzi and not Cobb in trade 2. The other 3 I would not do
  15. Hopefully your wrong and it's Coghlan + prospects to the Rays for McGee and we will have a 4-headed monster of an OF with Schwarbs-Heyward-Fowler-Soler
  16. He definitely looks more slim/fit in this pic he just tweeted.
  17. 5/80 with a 6 year vesting option that brings it to 96 and a opt out after 2 years.
  18. The Cardinals getting one of Cargo or Blackmon makes a lot of sense. Also another team(s) out on Fowler most likely, Rockies and whoever trades for on of their OF.
  19. I think the Dodgers will wait until the season to do a big trade to see how the pitchers coming back from injury shake out, but it really looks like they are accumulating assets to do a Gray, Fernandez/Ozuna, one of the Cleveland pitchers trades by the deadline.
  20. We probably should pick a different offseason than the same one as the Dodgers the next time we decide/are able to go over the IFA budget.
  21. Damn, I really wanted him. More for the MLB readiness than thinking he will turn out to be anything more than a mid rotation/good bullpen arm, he would've been a really nice depth piece for the year.
  22. Is that something they could just write into the contract? I want to say you can and its maybe already been done, iirc. If it hasn't been done I see no reason why it couldn't be part of the contact to not be able to exercise/give a QO to a player when he hits FA
  23. Upton- Orioles Davis- Angels Cespedes- Rangers Fowler- Cubs (we give him a 1 year deal with no QO for next year so he can get his big deal in a better market) Parra-Cardinals Jackson- White Sox
  24. It will be interesting to see if he gets any ownership interest, like Beane. I wouldn't be surprised if he's given 5-6/35-40.
