The Jazz have played 8 less games against the West than we have, so they may actually move "up" to the 4 spot pretty quickly.
I just realized our record vs the East is better than 12 Eastern teams' records against the West. The East is THAT bad. :eek:
Omg, if we have the third worst record and then get bumped 3 slots and have to give up the 6th pick, I'm really gonna murder someone cold. ;)
Omg, if we get the 6th pick and have to give it to Phoenix, I'm gonna murder someone cold.
The more I think about it, the more I'm certain we're not gonna get Shields. Scherzer is still a maybe, but highly unlikely. This new FO doesn't...
Throw him 200 bones and we're all set!!!!!
LeBron James' son tearing it up. Not bad at all. The step-back crossover was beautiful. And I may have seen a crab dribble at the :47 mark. :D...
It is done.
DFA Kemp and Ethier and start over. :D
Ugh, neither the Kemp trade nor the Rollins trade has gone through yet. Lots of delay. Maybe (edit) Padres are rethinking about making us better.
I forgot about the double plays; they were definitely very handy last year. Could have used him more in the playoffs. But yeah, after this...
League definitely improved, but I think the trend with the new Dodger brass is to find someone with a high SO/BB ratio as well as good WHIP and...
Dodgers sign effective but often injured pitcher Brett Anderson for 1 year, $10M. :eek: Dang, but hey not my money! I suppose if we're paying...
Grandal actually has more pop than Kemp. His fly balls average a further distance than Kemp's. He hit two more homers than Ramirez in the same...
Grandal doesn't come without his flaws, though. The most glaring one is his passed ball rate, which is extremely high. I guess Friedman thinks...
So I've been researching pitch framing, and I'm starting to really like the Kemp/Grandal trade. Here's an article that shows some great examples....
Shields I feel like will get overpaid. If they want to "curb" their spending, putting $20M per for Shields isn't the way to go. But Scherzer, I...
"All the firepower, but no fuse to light it..." Man, I like that saying a lot! :cool: So how about we give Scherzer his $200M and call it a day?...
Interesting how Friedman and Co. are wheeling and dealing. He's doing the same thing he did with Tampa, except now that he has extra money to...
Oh, and Ethier almost got traded to the D-Backs, so it's almost certain he'll be gone sooner or later (Friedman gets what he wants, right?), or...
