    By that standard, I hate this signing.

    It took me at least a month to hate that one.

    the Anti- Correa move

    gil4 commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    I agree, The Yankees' bubble never seems to burst, They just wait a couple of years and make a bigger bubble.

    And a unicorn. We need the unicorn.

    I'll say it. This contract takes him to age 39. My guess is his arm falls off closer to age 34 than 39. If they get two very good seasons and one decent season from him, I would consider that a success (and I would be surprised.)
  6. gil4
    His success wasn't too long after he was a rule-5 draftee. He was one of the older guys selected in rule 5 - age 32. (Dec 2007) But in March 2008, the Twins technically received him back from Seattle and traded him to them instead. Then he came back to the Twins in Dec 2008. After spending the 2009 season with the Twins, (33 innings in Rochester, 64 innings with the big club), he signed with the Mets that offseason. With the Mets, he had two really good seasons (3.6 WAR each) followed by his Cy Young season in 2012.

    The team is too soft as it is, and now they are bringing in this guy? Will the 7th inning stretch be replaced by 7th inning nap time (players included this time - I know plenty us were already in full nap mode by the 7th inning in half the games last year.)

    What pitcher doesn't have an injury history? I'm more concerned about guys who have unresolved injury histories (Paddock, Mahle, Maeda) than guys who have had TJ surgery and are back throwing like they did before.
  9. gil4
    I agree. Every pitcher is a gamble. May doesn't seem like an unusually risky option. If the price is right, sure. If he's a big splash, I'd prefer to splash elsewhere.

    Will we be shopping for a pitcher whose arm is about to fall off or one whose upper-90's fastball is only topped by the resulting exit velocities? (Or will we just take one of each again?)

    Adding more to your defense, Correa might have been last year's Judge, with some differences. (Correa wasn't coming off a historical season and his previous team wasn't the Yankees and had already moved on.). So yes, anything can happen.

    Godwin's law - make Hitler comparison = thread over/you lose Gil4's law - Suggest signing Aaron Judge...

    You don't like he Sano version?

    One of my favorite GIFs. Any offense I might have taken to your comment is faked so I could use it.

    My first thought was "Why are they going to show a 'highlight' of him striking out?"
  16. gil4
    Maybe it has something to do with the "ex" part. (100% tongue-in-cheek) Some people don't like it when former MLB players (or top level athletes in any sport) won't give it up after they can no longer compete at the top level, but I'm all in favor of it. If he wants to play and someone will have him on a pteam, let him play. I played slow-pitch softball through age 45, when my knees just would no longer allow it. When my wife asked when I was going to quit, I would tell her "when they pry my DeMarini from my cold, dead hands," but it didn't last quite that long. Now I umpire.
  17. gil4
    That must have been what finally put him over the top with the HoF voters.

    Bummed that I missed the auction. They all went for reasonable prices. (And that really was a nice-looking uniform.)
  19. gil4
    I like those jerseys - are they ones they use regularly (an alternate road jersey) or are they a special occasional or one-time jersey?

    Against the Yankees he has spent more time choking than breathing...

    Where's Wallner?

    gil4 commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    Even then I'd say he's a long-shot. Rosters don't expand nearly as much as they used to.
  22. gil4
    I hadn't heard of him before today, so forgive me if I hold off on agreeing until he has at least two at-bat's above low-A. For all I know, he just swung hard with his eyes closed and got lucky.
  23. gil4
    Every time he dove back into a base it looked painful. After he stole he base, I wasn't sure if he could get up. Maybe he was watching old video of Joe Morgan, who always looked like he was in too much pain to walk, but was great at stealing bases.
  24. gil4
    For some reason I'm picturing a Far Side-like comic with Falvey and Levine reading TD and doing just that - waiting just to mess with us and starting various rumors to make us crazy. (Correa for Soto sounds like their handiwork.)

    75 RBI or 75 RBIs?

    gil4 commented on Greglw3's blog entry in Greg Allen

    Neither. I don't think anyone on the team is getting to 75. ? I am of the opinion that RBI has by common usage become the thing and not just the abbreviation for the thing. Therefore, I will continue to make the thing plural by adding an s, both when speaking and when writing. If it drives someone crazy, I consider that a feature, not a bug.
