  1. Early Tolle are non starters to me, as in Im not including them , not saying i see them as relievers (lol). Dont think it makes sense to move Crawford / Fitts. Just no value there, and they are useful depth. Harrison is the one I would look to move. Dont hate moving Dobbins either or Perales / Clarke. Not sure the value gap between em, but if Harrison is third on the list in terms of trade value units, hes the one I think I would move.
  2. No way, Duran is a full time DH next year. Theyll put Cedanne in the infield before they do that. Most likely it will be a rotation.
  3. Im not complaining, we're starved for headlines , afterall its cold stove season.
  4. This is going to end with one of us slapping the other in the chest, and screaming "GET THE TABLES!"
  5. but really, more than anything....I enjoy inserting myself into commotion.
  6. made billions in asset appreciation, bought the penguins. I dont lick billionaire boots.
  7. I took the over, 246m is well placed over/under hugh. Had to think on it. I assume we'll extend whomever we trade for. Im not sure Im going to love the FA names, but I think the difference will be (like the pattern) a willingness to overpay from an AAV standpoint due to an outright refusal to give term. So it will be a con. "WHy you say they cheap, they got this guy and that guy " Yeah, a 1 yr deal and a 2 yr deal You know what they say about 1 and 2 yr deals , right? You get the guys that are willing to accept them.
  8. Adam sandlers favorite kind of pants are courduroys
  9. we're gonna get rich hill and justin turner, arent we?
  10. calm down Emeril. (just teasing)
  11. I would argue that the team that folds has a greater chance of making the playoffs, due to the weirdness of deadline sellers going on a run post-selloff in that division last few years.
  12. I hope one day you run into him at a restaurant, and I happen to be there and you are standing in front of his table yelling out "boo this man" and pointing at him It would be my honor.....to get thrown out of that restaurant with you.
  13. tunnelling means stays in the fastball tunnell longer. Which means the slider has "carry". Its not dropping, its not breaking, its not sweeping. It looks like a fastball all the way , and then you have to make your decision, and then poof , it runs away from you (righty/righty or lefty/lefty), strike 3.
  14. You can be effective without a well tunneled slider, obvs. Just weird that the article is talking about how Gallen checks the tunnel box, which is something that the sox look for, when Gallen doesnt have a slider. Most of the time, when people are talking about tunnelling it means that the slider looks like a fastball out of the hand for a long time because it stays in fastball shape for longer (late-sharp break on slider). For a well tunneled slider, you have to look for the dot on teh ball, and not the shape, because the slider shape doesnt reveal until after you have to make your swing decision. Its not accurate to talk about tunnelling a curveball or a sweeper becuase thats not what they are even trying to do (look like a fastball until last second).
  15. The pitches that tunnel the best are the slider off the 4 seam (or cutter) or the cutter off the 4 seam or the circle change off the sinker (same shape) or the sinker off the 4 seam (late break) or even the splitter off the 4 seam (late break) YOu cannot tunnel the curve or the sweeper. Its gotta look like a fastball out of the hand , and curveballs and sweepers do not.
  16. PASS - 4seam, curve, change is boring mix, the only thing you can really tunnel there is the change, assuming its a regular change and not a circle change. Thats not really a tunneling mix. Plus QO and 20m? Id rather just retain Gio between the two.
  17. Crochet Bello Early Sandoval Crawford/Dobbins (ST battle)
  18. I would be okay with replacing the RS vs Blue Jays games with a foot race between ALonso and Kirk. They'll try to sub in Vlad for Kirk and be like "well...." and they'll prob have a point , but I mean, Vlad smokes Alonso in a foot race so thats a suckers bet. Gotta be Kirk vs Alonso in a foot race. Also dont have to face Vlad this way.
