  1. Throw in the AL Central Default Champions and those teams are 4-10 with a -18 run differential...
  2. I would also argue that, much like in the cases of Porcello and Jason Hayward, age was also a factor...
  3. Long is usually my sticking point, too. But players like Cano, Votto, Cabrera and Pujols were signing deals into their 40s at that time...
  4. Ah... “pharmaceutical expenses”...
  5. That’s funny. So JD Martinez in your eyes clearly learned NOTHING about free agency from his own “cautionary tale” and will definitely opt out a full year before his salary even drops. But Chapman will look at the outrageous demand from a pitcher he undoubtedly thinks is a lesser closer anyway, and decide he will do what’s best for the Yankees? Got it...
  6. Cashman making payoffs to Stormy Daniels?
  7. Pedroia’s deal was a bargain. In the three seasons prior, Pedroia was worth 20.9 fWAR, which ranked third among MLB second basemen, trailing only Cano and Ben Zonrist. And Zobrist’s total was a reflection of his versatility, as it was inflated by multiple defensive contributions. That off-season, both Cano and Pedroia signed new contracts. Check out the differences in those deals sometime...
  8. They aren’t going to lose Martinez. The Sox are already prepared to pay him $62mill over the next 3 years, and if he opts out for more years at a lower AAV, they’ll be involved in that,too. The JD Martinez-Dombrowski relationship goes back way too many years and so far, DD seems like the only GM to ever have faith in this guy...
  9. It does make very little sense to put a worse team on the field to avoid paying $12mill in taxes when you’re paying more than that to Rusney Castillo to star in Pawtucket...
  10. The Red Sox took the spring training games off. The Mariners started their season 10 days ago. In retrospect, are we really shocked?
  11. $18.9mill AAV and runs through age 33. Excellent deal...
  12. Think Dylan Moore gets the start again?
  13. To be fair, it’s a topic on 522 threads plus 4,649 blogs and 10,995 articles, not to mention 5,777,553 calls from Craig Kimbrel’s agent ...
  14. 1. The thread is called “the Pen”. 2. The question was omnipresent enough all winter...
  15. And apparently, the answer is .... Barnes...
  16. Am I the only one who liked The Rookie, the story of (then Devil) Rays 38yo science teacher-turned-relief-pitcher Jim Miller? I admit the father character felt a bit contrived. Like, someone said “ok we really really need a villain! Preferably one that gilivrs is a ‘fell good’ ending!” But you gotta love Dennis Quaid in that movie...
  17. Major League was a complete ripoff of Bull Durham. You know the entire pitch that sold that movie was “Ok how about we take the players from Bull Durham, you know, the grizzled veteran catcher whose seen the game pass him by, the young firebrand pitcher whose all arm and no brains, the Voodoo practitioner, the Christian zealot, all of them, and ... get this... put them IN THE MAJOR LEAGUES!!!?”
  18. Slapshot?
  19. Sorry, no good movie can be made when your cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr, Matthew Lillard, and Wilmer Valderama. It can’t be done. Scientists have proven this multiple times...
  20. He threw all of 9 innings in spring training. He’s just getting in gear now...
  21. This team sucks!! I bet they lose like 60 times this year!!!
  22. Yes assuming the one game sample size is correct...
  23. Actually it won’t. Leon is still under contract...
  24. Everything is one extreme or another with you today...
  25. Also, you’re in love with Bigfoot, too. You 20 year olds are a walking sack of hormones...
