    I know everyone hates him, but I thought Tosh's takedown of ESPN was pretty damn good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFZI-zg89sw

    And if we don't get him, just roll it into the Tanaka fund.
  3. SouthSideRyan
    I don't see the risk with any of those other guys.

    So Gammons did say this, but there was a lot more too it, and it didn't sound like it was nearly a done deal when you listen to the actual audio clip. They just played it on the Score. Care to elaborate on what he did say?

    Ya know he spent like 6 years in Boston

    And we can keep saying that every time we don't sign someone good. If the Cubs have an offseason like last year, feel free to be upset that they didn't add anyone, I'll be there with you. In the meantime, arbitrary lines in the sand that Jon Lester represents a 'commitment to winning' are silly. If the other side of that line is Brett Anderson and Jason Hammel, then yeah, they're not committed to winning next year.

    They own their TV network

    Has there been talk of this? I don't think any team is cash-strapped at this point. It's my inference, but I don't think a terrible one. Last year's team was about 75 million and then they completely tanked so if anything they realized less revenue than expected when they ended up at 75 mil. Next year's team has 68 million guaranteed to 11 players, several of whom are bench guys or dead weight(Hill, Arroyo, Ross, Cahill). I don't think they're literally desperate to trade away salary, but I do think their lack of headroom could be a limiting factor, and Montero's a guy(unlike the 4 previously mentioned) you could trade away and free up his entire salary. EDIT: And that 68 million does not include arbitration amounts for Trumbo, Reed, Hellickson, or Miley. Cot's had them at 112.3M last year.

    Of course the performance is more important, but Jon Lester is damn sure a better bet to be a top of the rotation stalwart than one of those 3 guys who were terrible last year. I mean I'll be excited if Jaxon becomes a 5 win pitcher next year too, but I'm not going to pin any offseason hopes on it.

    15/450-500? For a speed guy?

    http://www.statcorner.com/CatcherReport.php Looks like pairing Martin and Navarro should make for an interesting case study.

    Did you just ask a rhetorical question, then immediately answer it?

    Not sure I get the LOL. I assume the DHing would be to get him in the lineup for ~150 games

    They certainly gave the committee the excuse they need to leave Mississippi State in the top 4. MS State isn't that great. The committee needs to recognize this. I agree, but I think your team might need to take that one out of their hands. After the committee's treatment of Alabama prior to this game (Bama will jump to #3 now, I imagine, deservedly), I don't trust them to evaluate an SEC team on merit. I wouldn't be shocked if Bama jumped to 1
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Well, [expletive]

    2/12 for Jaxon seems insane.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Ahhhh, it's #TBT

    20 points in 29 minutes? We knew he was going to need time to get all the way back, particularly mentally. Define "mentally back"
  22. SouthSideRyan
    And that was the last time anyone followed BP on twitter

    I kinda get the feeling Friedman is pushing this gotta trade one of these troublesome OFers so he can get rid of Van Slyke at his peak. Too bad for him there aren't any dumb GMs left that are trying to win
  24. SouthSideRyan
    i work with too many cardinals fans not to steal this joke i see you put it to good use...just need more hits on it. Friend of mine texted me it this morning, but used OBP. Probably doesn't appeal to the masses enough.

    We signing him to a 3 year deal?
