Also good, but less surprisingly so...

Quit reading The Alferd Packer Cookbook!
-
Chocolate-covered bacon in itself is surprisingly good...
-
That feels hypocritical because Animal Crackers are excellent with whipped cream and hot fudge...
-
It’s been explained before. The WAPM (Wildly Accurate Projection Machine) is a product of Notin Industries, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Notin TransGlobal MegaCorp (NTMC)...
-
I find some irony in ripping Tim Beckham for not being a good fielder (despite his league average or better metrics) and then thinking Marwin Gonzalez is a good solution...
-
That’s also how mvp eats pulled pork
-
And that’s why I don’t trust Steamer. The WAPM has my chances at being claimed at exactly 0.0...
-
I would imagine if the Yankees shockingly miss out on both Machado and Harper, Plan B would be something like Keuchel, Pollock and Brian Dozier...
-
LA has far more allure than NY for athletes looking at acting as a post-playing career. But Philly often a much, much lower cost of living advantage....
-
Machado has spent his entire career in Baltimore. Chicago and Philly are both mega-markets compared to that. Not to mention, he probably owns a house and Baltimore is probably within commuting distance from his house. Know what else might be within commuting distance from that house? Philadelphia. And Chicago didn’t take on Yonder Alonso’s entire contract because of his baseball skills. Not when Justin Bour was practically free. There is a definite plan to exploit that connection. Sure the money will need to be there first. But Yonder is a good bet for a tie breaker...
-
Because he likes the most popular ice cream flavor in the world? That doesn’t make him a serial killer. Now the mounting number of drifters buried in his crawl space is another matter...
-
And considering the amount of times it’s repeated, a very overblown assist. Players recommend friends/acquaintances/former teammates and opponents all the time to GMs. The ultimate decision to act on these recommendations lies solely with the GM...
-
I agree. After blasting Dombrowski last off-season for not making these types of moves, it’s nice to see him finally taking my advice...
-
They’re enamored. Just not to the point of signing him. It sounds like they think they’re in the driver’s seat and can steer the overall value of the deal down. But the high anticipated overall value is what is keeping most teams out, so if they drive it down too far, they risk losing their lead position. And “too far” might not be as far as they think, with Chicago (who really should be taken seriously) and Philadelphia looming...
-
If he struggles and gives up lots of home runs at McCoy Stadium, who cares? The worst thing that happens in that case is he stifles the development of 30yo Marcus Walden until Ramírez gets released. But if he reverts to the pitcher he was pre-2018, he could be a useful addition....
-
Most teams find the biggest obstacle with Machado to be the expectations of the terms of the contract...
-
And yet he was worth 3.4 fWAR as recently as 2017. I guess he must be a spectacular baserunner...
-
Actually Tim Beckham would make a ton of sense for the Yankees. The Murphy chatter was based on his ability to slide over to first base when (not if) Bird goes on the DL and Voit shows NYC why he isn’t a full time starter...
-
Adam Sandler has a net worth of $420million. Most of it made by writing and starring in some truly awful movies that combined contain a very limited number of jokes. Is he paid “based on performance?”
-
Who, besides people working for tips or commissions, gets paid based on performance? Most people have a salary or hourly wage and that’s what they get paid, regardless of successes and failures...
-
It’s the Way of the Patriots. Also I believe that type of behavior spawned the phrase ”if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.” Also while the fans might think of Machado as Public Enemy #1 times Satan times Dick Cheney, it is entirely possible the players and coaches don’t...
-
By waiting for the price to come down, perhaps he plans on entering the competitive Jim Johnson Sweepstakes....
-
Technically BDC buried those projections...
-
Actually he was a second year GM. And his finest moment was signing a DH who had been released by the Minnesota Twins...
