No one knows until the year is over how many will have signed, have bad year or are injured. It is a crap shoot, players are too influenced by agents who think of themselves, of coursePart of the issue will be how many other big UFA's are also on the market.
I get that, but the league can't survive without a certain level of parity.Pro sports are a oligopoly and unions are a monopoly so they price gouge way above true market value
I'm not sure how not wanting to make a piss poor trade makes me a wheeler and dealer?Costanza, the wheeler and dealer
Just some things I heard. And I wasn't refering to any of the Jays and how they feel about him. But many players thinks he whines too much about the strike zone and comes off as standoffish.Inaccurate, hated by some beloved by others. Bryce Harper thinks he is the best player in the majors. He's is also a member of the negotiating committee within the MLBPA. And without him the Jays as a unit would disintegrate.
I thought whooped your ass with FACTS and STATS a few months back about dissing EE and you called a truce waving the white flag.He is 33 and has a bit if a history of back and hand issues. As well he is a basically now a DH.
.
We should be. I never bought all this ace talk with the guy. He's an excellent no.3/solid no.2 starter in my mind.Starting to get a bit concerned about Stroman
It's not a diss to his present worth. But we are talking about projecting future worth of a 36-37 year old. And the wear and tear that will come with playing.I thought whooped your ass with FACTS and STATS a few months back about dissing EE and you called a truce waving the white flag.
You back for some more whoop ass?
Of all the armchair GM's, I think this is most inline with Shapiros thinking as evidenced by his time in Cleveland. I would say the contracts of Tulo and Martin (of paying big bucks to guys in the back half of their careers) are not in line with Shapiro's philosophy; I'd bet both will not finish their contracts in Toronto in 2020 and 2019.I find it absolutely amazing that so many teams are still willing to dole out the money for long term deals when you can see how bad they hand cuff your club. Even the mighty Yankees have come out and said they're gonna start being a lot more careful and fiscally responsible. After locking up Mark Texeira, CC Sabathia and A-roid, that's a lot of money on guys that aren't putting up very good numbers. (in Texeira case it's just this year but he missed almost all of 2013 due to injury)
The angels can't sign anybody thanks to Albert Pujols. Justin Verlander has screwed up the tigers payroll. Then you take a team like K.C with such a middle of the pack and much more payroll with much more flexability, and they win the whole thing.
I've been saying exact same thing: https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...2015-edition&p=5307895&viewfull=1#post5307895We should be. I never bought all this ace talk with the guy. He's an excellent no.3/solid no.2 starter in my mind
Toronto will never have a true Ace for long, even they have someone in the farm system that comes up and becomes one, because a true ace's cost 210 million and Toronto will never sign the sexy big free agent names.I've been saying exact same thing: https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthrea...2015-edition&p=5307895&viewfull=1#post5307895
But its still early in his career, maybe Stroman can work out the kinks
Yup 5th series win. I can get used to this.Holy shit Osuna!!!!!!!! My blood pressure!!!!!!!! :Eek:
Too lazy to check but isnt that our 5th series win in a row??
9-0 is also the score when a team forfeits a game. If you're going to lose, might as well lose big and write-off as a bad night.Happ and Floyd getting smacked around good, no offence doesn't help.
