    I agree. Let the Rusney Castillo Era begin!!!

    I believe he has to say that in order to avoid issues from the Player's Union...

    Very few GMs DFA the long term deals they sign. Dombrowski left Detroit with a few questionable ones that he didn't terminate either. It's just that much easier to clean up someone else's mistakes...

    That's a relief...

    Is the question "do we need an offensive catcher" or "do we want an offensive catcher"? The Sox have the best record in the majors while getting nothing from the catcher, so it's a little hard to say they need one...

    Reportedly he as a good guy. But his play and the option were enough reasons...

    Only if the collision was at the foot of Mount Vesuvius

    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.

    The Sox aren't getting Harper and/or Kershaw. Just extend Betts or bring back Kelly/Kimbrel...
  10. notin
    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.)

    Dombrowski had a trump card we never thought he'd play...

    No.

    They should just take his check, cross out "Hanley Ramirez" and replace it with "Mookie Betts"...

    Bad robot ump quote jokes? "Danger Dan Robertson! Danger! The count is 0-2!"

    He must really like Swihart...

    I guess this thread is resolved

    Is the Dwayne Johnson unavailable? Is it legal to make an action movie without him?
  18. notin
    OK that was one possibility we never saw coming. I guess this answers all questions about his option kicking in...
  19. notin
    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?
  20. notin
    Or prove. Shall we try and roll all the major debates into one great big massive argument? "The WAR of Clutch Robot Umps"?
  21. notin
    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...
  23. notin
    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...
  24. notin
    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...
  25. notin
    No on robor umps. OK on replay. It hasn't been the big issue that it had the potential to be...
