  1. Only if the collision was at the foot of Mount Vesuvius
  2. Yankees have released Adam Lind. Do I see an opportunity for Hanley in NY? They have a spot on the 40-man roster now, and they will have an opening at 1B because by the time Hanley clears waivers, Greg Bird should be back on the DL.
  3. The Sox aren't getting Harper and/or Kershaw. Just extend Betts or bring back Kelly/Kimbrel...
  4. Correct, unless he is claimed off waivers. (He isn't getting claimed off waivers. But he will very likely play for another MLB team this year.)
  5. Dombrowski had a trump card we never thought he'd play...
  6. They should just take his check, cross out "Hanley Ramirez" and replace it with "Mookie Betts"...
  7. Bad robot ump quote jokes? "Danger Dan Robertson! Danger! The count is 0-2!"
  8. He must really like Swihart...
  9. I guess this thread is resolved
  10. Is the Dwayne Johnson unavailable? Is it legal to make an action movie without him?
  11. OK that was one possibility we never saw coming. I guess this answers all questions about his option kicking in...
  12. 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?
  13. Or prove. Shall we try and roll all the major debates into one great big massive argument? "The WAR of Clutch Robot Umps"?
  14. Well, if they are not demoting Bradley/Holt or putting Nunez on he DL, not sure what else there is...
  15. 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...
  16. 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...
  17. 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...
  18. No on robor umps. OK on replay. It hasn't been the big issue that it had the potential to be...
  19. That includes 41 games he played as a sub that resulted in only 24 plate appearances
  20. Mookie has options left. Maybe he gets sent down to make room for Pedroia...
  21. 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...
  22. He plays. They win. It actually does work out even if he Ks three times.
  23. I was the typo king at BDC and I am working on re-claiming that title here...
  24. Actually, he is quite good at drawing walks. I was just into typing that up fast. He has 13 and 5 HBP...
