Get the f*** outta there...

It's there, it's called "other."

I know a lot of people are pretty excited for what 2017 has in store, but are there any dark clouds looming?

That's way too much for Ross, imo.

Lou Gorman was a REAL baseball man, not like these namby pambies these days.

JBJ will add his name to the below list: NUMBER 19 Howie Storie 1931 Milt Gaston 1931 Wilcy Moore 1932 Gordon Rhodes 1932 Bob Weiland 1933 Fritz Ostermueller 1934 Moe Berg 1935 Emerson Dickman 1936 Joe Cascarella 1936 Fabian Gaffke 1937 Joe Gonzales 1937 Bill Humphrey 1938 Joe Heving 1938-40 Mickey Harris 1941 Andy Karl 1943 Joe Dobson 1943 Ford Garrison 1944 Hal Wagner 1944 Nick Polly 1945 Randy Heflin 1945 Mickey Harris 1946-49 Maurice McDermott 1949-53 Leo Kiely 1954-56 Bob Porterfield 1957-58 Jerry Casale 1958-60 Tom Borland 1961 Lu Clinton 1961 Dave Philley 1962 Merlin Nippert 1962 Wilbur Wood 1963-64 Jay Ritchie 1964-65 Dan Osinski 1965 Gary Waslewski 1967-68 Syd O'Brien 1969 Don Pavletich 1970-71 Ken Tatum 1972-73 Fred Lynn 1974-80 Bob Ojeda 1981-85 Jeff Sellers 1986-88 Dana Williams 1989 Jeff Stone 1989 Dana Kiecker 1990-91 Steve Lyons 1992 Jose Melendez 1993-94 Mike Maddux 1995-96 Brian Rose 1997-2000 Rolando Arrojo 2000 Dante Bichette 2000-01 John Burkett 2002-03 Gabe Kapler 2004 John Olerud 2005 Josh Beckett 2006-12 Koji Uehara 2013-16

Well, that's what Farrell has hinted at for most of the offseason.

His WAR is helped by how much he eats innings.

I don't like that idea either!

I think he'll be better than he was last year, but I don't expect him to be anything more than a #2. Come playoffs? Who knows?

He took a huge step backwards last year. I'm not surprised he's not the #1 guy.

That's a ridiculous idea.

Until Schill puts down the meth, he's not getting in. That guy is a mess right now. Edgar only has 2 more shots at getting in. I'm not sure if he'll get there as he needs almost 100 more votes to get in. He deserves to be in though. My ballot would have been: Ivan Rodriguez Tim Raines Jeff Bagwell Edgar Martinez Barry Bonds Roger Clemens Manny Ramirez Mike Mussina Vlad Guerrero Curt Schilling

Hi-Ho Silva must not have been available!

Every scout has said that Moncada is severely hampered when he hits right handed. His swing is vastly different and the results aren't there. It has nothing to do with sample size.

Did you get to see him hit right handed? His OPS right handed is about 200 points lower than left handed. It's ugly. If he continues to switch hit, he'll be behind Beni by a lot.

Remy has looked better recently, because we've seen too much of Steve Lyons.

Not a Devers fan?

For those scoring at home, Beni will now be wearing #16 this year. Previous 16's: Johnny Lucas 1931 Gene Rye 1931 Howie Storie 1931 Johnny Lucas 1932 Jud McLaughlin 1932 Gordon McNaughton 1932 Ivy Andrews 1933 Hank Johnson 1934-35 Jack Wilson 1935 Stew Bowers 1936 Mike Meola 1936 Babe Dahlgren 1936 Dom Dallessandro 1937 Emerson Dickman 1938-41 Al Flair 1941 Tony Lupien 1942 Vic Johnson 1944 Lou Finney 1944 Jim Wilson 1945 Red Steiner 1945 Roy Partee 1946-47 Ellis Kinder 1948-55 Bob Porterfield 1956 Harry Dorish 1956 Haywood Sullivan 1957, 1959 Bill Jurges 1959-60 (MGR) Carroll Hardy 1960-62 Dick Williams 1963-64 Jim Lonborg 1965-71 Bob Bolin 1970 Rick Miller 1972-77 Tom Burgmeier 1978-81 Bill Buckner 1984 Dave Sax 1985 Kevin Romine 1985-91 Bob Zupcic 1991 Frank Viola 1992-94 Dave Oliver 1995-96 (COACH) Joe Kerrigan 1997-2001 (COACH, MGR) Bob Kipper 2002 (COACH) Lou Collier 2003 Ricky Gutierrez 2004 Edgar Renteria 2005 David Wells 2005-06 Luis Alicea 2007-08 (COACH) George Kottaras 2009 Marco Scutaro 2010 Josh Reddick 2011 Jason Repko 2012 Will Middlebrooks 2013-14 Luis Jimenez 2015 Jeff Bianchi 2015 Deven Marrero 2015-16

I think the bigger issue with the WAR calc there was the additional innings he pitched in 2007. In 2008, he had a little time off due to injury.

DiceK had a career high 2.9 WAR in 2007. I think he was ok those first two years.

http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=271&position=P&type=&gds=2005-04-05&gde=2005-07-16&season= Clement was 10-3 prior to getting hit in the head with a line drive and was on the All Star roster. I don't think many people believe he fell lower than expectations as I don't believe expectations were super high to begin with. Penny and Smoltz were 5th men in the rotation type signings. When they didn't work out, nobody was surprised.

Never.

Terrible reading comprehension again. Maybe we should all post in bold? Go back and read the NFL thread again. You will be proven wrong. FACT!
