  1. Particularly in high(ly) leverage(d) situations
  2. Yes, with all the power and influence of the NFLPA.
  3. One of these is named for beer. 'Nough said.
  4. You win the internets, good sir.
  5. Joey Gallo?? No, no no...Joey Callow.
  6. Wait, wait, wait...is Terry Ryan back for a THIRD go-around???
  7. Extra credit for spelling it out instead of inserting the actual jpeg.
  8. He didn't hit a lot last year, although it was some ~80 OPS points higher than Celestino, but he'd been over .800 every year but one since 2016, and that was .795. He's also probably a better CFer than Gilbert.
  9. Towards the second deck in left, I wager.
  10. In a weird coincidence, I'm pushing 75 and can get my old pickup up to 57 with a stiff tailwind.
  11. Sir, I knew Butch Huskey, and you're no Butch Huskey.
  12. In all seriousness, Pollock isn't the worst idea for a 4th OFer I've ever heard. Way better than Celestino.
  13. I bet Butch would listen too, if we offered, say...3/$30m.
  14. "We have a lot of young arm talent that we’ll be looking at in Fort Myers,” said Falvey. “We Tried will be part of that mix, along with Part Of The Conversation and On The Shortlist" I think "In On" will be up and dominating by the All Star Break.
  15. Godzilla wasn't scared'a no Rodan!!
  16. "Carlos Rodon is still looking for a home..." C'mon. TD has to be better than this.
  17. Prett-tay cool. Prett-tay, prett-tay, prett-tay cool.
  18. I didn't say either of those things. A much flatter pay scale would benefit way more players than the current "stars and scrubs" model, and coupled with a floor/cap and revenue sharing would remove much of the financial disparity currently in the game. In my perfect world rookies make 1/3 as much as Aaron Judge, not 1/40th. I'd rather see teams get rewarded more for savvy scouting and development than the size of their bank account. And I'd force cheap owners to spend that revenue sharing as well. Overall salary expenses would be similar. I do think less player movement would be good for the sport. Eff the players on that front.
  19. Wanted to also add my sincere thanks to Mr Goin for his perspective. My perspective is the same as Yoda: There is no try. There is only do or not do.
  20. Why aren't TD owners/writers asking tough questions?
  21. I agree. I'd like to see a busted union, revenue sharing, and hard salary floors/caps. I'd also like it if Santa Claus was real. I doubt any of those things come true in my lifetime, and I KNOW they aren't coming true this off season.
  22. See, I think Kyle Farmer was always plan A. Plan B was to be "in on" Carlos Correa.
  23. 8/250 will prolly end up getting us Correa too.
  24. I'm old enough to get that reference....but it's "real money" I believe.
