    He must really like Swihart...
  2. notin
    I guess this thread is resolved

    Is the Dwayne Johnson unavailable? Is it legal to make an action movie without him?
  4. notin
    OK that was one possibility we never saw coming. I guess this answers all questions about his option kicking in...

    But then what do you do when the robot umps turn on you? What if the ump we get is HAL, or worse, Bender from Futurama?
  6. notin
    Or prove. Shall we try and roll all the major debates into one great big massive argument? "The WAR of Clutch Robot Umps"?

    Well, if they are not demoting Bradley/Holt or putting Nunez on he DL, not sure what else there is...

    Hamels is a free agent after his year and is easily affordable by the Yankees, even with luxury tax implications in mind. He might cost one good prospect and maybe an ancillary minor leaguer or two who have potential but eventually never see an MLB game played before September 1. If the Yankees can get him for Cody Carroll and Mike Ford, think is that too much? I could see them parting with, say Domingo German as well. (But not with the other mentioned names. Instead of.) Bottom line - getting Hamels won't hurt the Yankees in any way. Cashman isn't trading his blue chips for a rental, and no other team can match his return...

    But isn't the "human element" one of the big arguments about WAR and advanced metrics? That they cannot capture it? Had to bring this thread back around full circle...

    A big part of the reason for certain plays not being reviewable is because it can be difficult to determine placement of baserunners. That's why fair/foul calls are not reviewable except in the case of home runs...

    No on robor umps. OK on replay. It hasn't been the big issue that it had the potential to be...

    That includes 41 games he played as a sub that resulted in only 24 plate appearances

    Mookie has options left. Maybe he gets sent down to make room for Pedroia...

    Much to your cxhagrin. Of course there is always another Holt DL stint or a Swihart DFA as a possibility. Or Swihart to the DL. All his bench time may have caused a hemorrhoid flare up...

    He plays. They win. It actually does work out even if he Ks three times.

    I was the typo king at BDC and I am working on re-claiming that title here...
  17. notin
    Actually, he is quite good at drawing walks. I was just into typing that up fast. He has 13 and 5 HBP...

    Well Bradley former get a lot of his, But when he gets one he does score. 21 hits, 20 runs scored. While hitting in front of Betts helps, Bradley is certainly benefiting more than the catching duo. Maybe if Bradley got 8 more empty hits a month, ones where he was left on base. Maybe then fans would like him more. ..

    OK. So we can trade Swihart for Bartolo Colon and then demote him. Colon easily takes up two roster spots...

    Page 1 was a lot of Edwin Starr jokes, But after that the criticisms of it start. ..
  21. notin
    And you went put that awful wedding dance in my head now...
  22. notin
    No. He Needs to be a hitter to really find a way to stick. I always liked him as a prospect, but in MLB today most players have a very brief window to develop and stick, And if they can't do it, there is always someone younger and quicker and less injured trying to take your place. That said, I could see some faltering team giving him a decent shot in RF. That might be the position he fits into best...
  23. notin
    Well, bear in mind the thread title we are posting on...
  24. notin
    But the difference here on TalkSox is it's a debate you might be able to win.
  25. notin
    So does that make us the Floyd Mayweather and Colin McGregor of TalkSox? If so, you're McGregor...
