  2. Happy Valentines Day to all of Yu out there: (Skip to 2:42 or open in another link for the good part) [bbvideo=560,315] [/bbvideo]

  4. Charlie Blackmon is one guy I have my eye on with the Rockies potentially flopping, and he'd also be the easiest positional fit if there aren't any big injuries. Now obviously it would be great if Almora/Happ/Heyward are just fine in CF, but if not, Blackmon would make a lot of sense as a rental (though his defense may be a little bit of a downgrade in CF). But yeah, for teams trying to clear up salary and bad teams with free agents to be, there should be some intriguing names this July. Just based off eye test, Blackmon in CF seems totally fine defensively. I'd be lying if I thought Almora was significantly better. I would also be lying if I said I knew what I was talking about.
  5. You would think that a team wouldn't be punished for offering a qualified offer to a guy whom no one else seemed to want, right? Oh well.
  6. I still have faith that Angel Guzman is going to put it all together soon.
  7. That is some mental gymnastiness right there. So having cost-controlled pitchers which allows you to go out an spend for position players is "mitt-popping," but if you have cost-controlled position players and spend on SPs in the free market, you are banking on past performances?!? http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/03/does-not-get-it.gif
  8. Yeah, I hope that is the case. What is jarring is that they have him projected for more losses than wins. That's silly. Was this proj made without knowledge of what team he was playing on? Who cares about horsefeathering pitcher wins let alone predicting/projecting them Well, I'm well aware of how useless of a stat it is for evaluating the worth of a pitcher, but I would like Yu to have a lot of wins this year.
  9. fix'd I hope he will put up more than 160 innings. Does seem a little light, but I expect this year to be much like 2016 where the regular season is essentially semantics and we’ll be able to limit innings and skip starts/go 6-man rotation the last month+ Yeah, I hope that is the case. What is jarring is that they have him projected for more losses than wins. That's silly. Was this proj made without knowledge of what team he was playing on?
  10. You try to get the most stones possible closest to the center of the thing. It is a very simple game.
  11. I am so proud that this is catching on What does it mean? Sort of the most racist fans in baseball?
  12. It really is a pretty clever marketing idea even if it comes off as petty. Cub fans start scrambling to make sure they can get tickets, and Brewer fans, reminded about Cub crowds in their stadium, rush to do the same thing.
  13. I wanted to change my name here to "Judas Iscariot, the Bird" a while ago, but I would also accept "If Mandy Patinkin was a Horse"
  14. I chuckled to see that the top comp for both Strop and Cishek was Turk Wendell.
  15. Eh. Duensing was better last year and they are the same age. Not much of a difference between them, imo, and we need pen lefties more than righties, no?
  16. That's if you believe there is a source. His posts stink of some dude reading the tea leaves and calling them a source. He reiterates the rumors that are out there and adds color.I'd say it's 50/50 whether the color is from a real source, or his furry friend Harvey. Maybe, but I think this guy is pretty legit. He's called things quite accurately and in the last week or 2 when he said things about the Brewers being after a pitcher the national media guys had tweets/articles about it within a day or 2. I don't care if the guy is using a voice system or if he doesn't have any hands or what, but no one who uses apostrophes like that can be considered "legit" in my book.
  17. I think Mojo made this joke 40 pages ago. But I'll allow it, because we are all bored and want to die Yu, Yu, Yu oughta know! Since we are all just sitting around waiting, go listen to that song and see if you can identify who played the guitar and bass for that track. Weird, huh?
  18. Why not your left nut? He gave that one up to sign Heyward. It was actually from an injury while I worked as a stunt man in a movie from the 80s.
  19. Am I the only one here that would give my right nut to read the words "St. Louis Cardinals" and "relegated" in the same sentence?
  20. I think that's a small vindication sample size you are extrapolating.
