they're all either wimpy garbage or nonsensical like Ratto
Beyond bickering who's "more commanding" I honestly wonder why Price wants to stay in the ALE and not pitch in comparatively favorable pitchers parks in the NLW or C.
>>63946927
>tfw practicing your bait for next week
>tfw only getting warmed up
Will he repeat his performance in the 2016 postseason?
>>63946956
Thats actually pretty damn funny
>>63946969
Price just wanted money and Bombston offered the most. He's just signed a 7 year 217 million deal. He doesn't give a fuck about his stats anymore.
>>63946969
Ratto is a fat edgy contrarian piece of shit
>>63946969
>wimpy garbage
Baggarly blindsided Melky about steroid allegations *while on the Giants payroll as an insider* in 2012.
Schulman does the occasional fluff piece like everyone else but he's pretty damn reliable and I'd put him up at the upper end of sports journalists anywhere who don't take themselves too seriously to laugh at silly shit.
Kawakami's the one who flips his script every now and then; at least Ratto stays consistent with his staunch anti-homer act. I don't think anyone has ever thrown a point in Ratto's face where he didn't defend himself successfully by staying consistent.
>>63946956
Guys.
Where is Bryce Harper's ring?
>>63947033
I am not a Ratto fan, but you can trust anything he writes. On TV he acts like people expect he should act by his appearance, like an angry fat man. On the radio, he's fucking awesome. Makes a lot of jokes, laughs, smart commentary, all that. It's funny how different he is on radio than on TV.

Eh, I've listened to him on the radio with Tom Tolbert (I think) a few times and he just came off as someone who was trying really hard to be snarky and clever.

I always got the feeling he's natural on the radio and the TV stuff was just part of the act, with the forced snarkiness.

Not universal. It was almost even between them and Cleveland. Then Cleveland forgot how to hit a baseball for 5 months.
>>63947324
um not really
It was more like 50% of people thought the Nats would win, with the other 50% split between a bunch of teams like the mariners and cardinals

Even if you ban the casuals from AT&T, it would be more full than o.co.
A's fans are basically just proud that the only casuals who give a shit about their team are hipsters, and they're happy that it's part of what's keeping their team from acquiring top talent (selfish front office and shitty ballpark being the other reasons).
>"The Cubs were behind the Cardinals [in money offered] even though Price favored the Cubs, with the Cardinals as his second choice."
Red Sox gave him $217MM
Cardinals offered $190MM (probably a 6 year deal)
Cubs offered something lower (probably $180MM and 6 years)
Damn shame, but I will be happy getting a more affordable #3 in free agency (Shark or Leake) plus a young pitcher through trade (Tyson Ross).
>>63947422
At least I'm basing my claim off something.
Cleveland was not at all the World Series favorite pre-season, I don't know where you get that idea from. SI?

Pretty sure he saw the 217 million dollar contract and didn't give a fuck where it was. Honestly, who wouldn't take a contract like that? I'm not surprised or even upset he didn't resign with Toronto because anyone with half a brain knew this was the likely scenario. You just hoped he wouldn't stay in the division and possibly the league.

Giants seem more likely at the moment. 6 years though? Oof.
>>63949645
>>63949898
He's already said he goes for the money, and there's no way the Dodgers will get outspent by anyone unless they seriously fuck up somehow.
Although the Giants do never seem to be that afraid of older players, so an extra year might throw a wrench in things.

>>63950492
Yeah, Pavlovic is good, but Baggarly was based as the CSN insider. Baggs has a reputation of being arrogant or even inserting himself into the story, but that's just the result of not playing it safe with who he pisses off as long as he gets the story. There was something about the players not appreciating that about him either iirc, when he wasn't invited in the locker room for awhile. I think it was after the Shawon Dunston/Sergio Romo thing.

>>63951458
It was only 20 million a year. I'm sure some team will give him at least 25 for the same amount of time (6 years).
Crane you fucking jew, sign someone already.

>>63951584

>>63951859
Yup
>>63951743
I would cum literal buckets if Cueto came to the AL east. He would get lit the fuck up.
post yfw greinke signs with the Giants, and DG hosts a suicide thread where a post number decides how he kills himself
post yfw the Yankees are literally too poor to sign anyone and their delusional fans say they're just waiting to sign Trout/Harper even though they said they'd sign Price after he was traded to the Jays.
Yankees will sign Cueto and tyler clippard cap this post
>>63952516
I only recall Yankees fans talking about how they didn't want to sign Price because of his age. You're going to be the same person that get's assmad if the Yankees sign Harper and/or Trout and start screaming "muh bought championships"
>>63951859
uh, no? add davis and a starter and they're fine
>>63952593
>having this bad of a memory
>implying the Yankees don't always think they'll sign the top free agents
>>63952640
Unless they sign Greinke(which they wont) they'll be last in the AL east. I would also be shocked if Davis resigned with them. I could see a team offering more money than what Baltimore is willing to pay.
The thing that should scare teams about Davis though is his history with PEDs. It would be a nightmare if he signed a monumental contract later to be suspended an entire season because of drug violations. If I was a GM I would be wary of signing him.

Excluding the Jints, Califailia "major league" teams have won 1 of the last 26 World Series, despite those teams composing roughly 1/7 of the league. And that one was a by fucking default fluke that they managed to even get 2 in-state teams to the World Series. Is there a more pathetic baseball state? Even Florida's won a couple in that time

It actually is relevant you stupid fucking retard. Making an apelante for 3-outs in a day is incomparable to going into a start getting 18-22 outs...

It doesn't matter how many outs he had to get, he still fits your criteria. Besides, those three outs are usually in high pressure situations.

It must be tough being a Dodgers fan. You wait all winter watching the front office moves and sharpening your blade for Opening Day. Your team gives you reason to be happy and excited for the rest of the year. You talk an enormous amount of shit leading up to October baseball. But they always choke, some way or another. They find a way to disappoint millions of fans throughout the country (plus Mexico).
What a life that must be.
david price is king
>>63956569
If you're going by career, Mark Buehrle, CC Sabathia, Felix Hernandez, and Zack Greinke all have better WAR. If you mean right now, Greinke and Arrieta had better WAR this past year.
>>63956679
how he king if no ring
>>63956704
ask me in a year if he has a ring
>>63956780
And a new meme is born. Trip up so we can screencap this post.
Why do you retards keep responding to such awful bait?
>>63956685
Neither Arrieta or Greinke are better than Kershaw.
Of all those pitchers you named only CC and Felix have had better career numbers (only because they've been aging for half a decade longer). And I think Verlander too.
Tell me leads nearly every pitching metric after 2008 when kershaw debuted? That's the standard.
Kershaw is the greatest active pitcher in baseball, by a large margin, an irrefutable statement, an diamond fact.
>>63956889

Das it bro. Greinke ain't worth 6/210 but idgaf, it's not the money, I'll get to see Greinke pitch every year for half a decade.
I literally don't give a fucj what they pay him,
>>63957363
He's far better than Price so he is objectively worth more than him.

>>63956837
>Kershaw is the greatest active pitcher in baseball
That's all well and good, but what has he done for his team?
Tell me.
Baseball is a team sport, remember? If you have one individual doing great, that's fine, But it doesn't speak for the team.
Are you telling me that you would rather your ace win 10 Cy Young awards than a single world series?
You can talk about how much better Kershaw is in the dozens of categories he leads, but he hasn't lead his team to a championship. And isn't that the point?

So are the Red Sox going to be the #VictoryTour team of 2016? Overwhelming favorites only to get c.ucked by the Rays or something?
Pirates let Alvarez go, surprised they didn't get anything for him.
I can't wait for the Red Keks to sign him.
>>63961154
No? They were still a fucking last place team last year. They'll be okay, probably a playoff team but not favorites. Them, the Yankees, and the Jays are probably all similar.
Why the fuck would KC not still be the favorites in the AL?
>>63961349
Indians may take a shot on him, valuable power bat at the DH spot. The only downside is that he's bats lefty

>>63961467
It's not that bad. He was gonna get cut anyways. Now they have a catcher to pair with Ianetta and Zunino can fuck off to Tacoma and work on his hitting.
Also got an extra 9m+ to spend. Probably spent some of that on Aoki. Maybe they can pick up Jaso to play 1B or something for cheap. He ain't no catcher anymore.

yeah man, I've been all for trading Sale and Q in these threads, probably not happening.
But there are definitely some moves that could been made to try to win now still
between e. johnson, frankie, adams, fulmer and danish they could trade for a couple guys like cargo and frazier and still keep a couple of the pitchers, thrown in guys like micah, thompson and avi to try to limit the pitcher losses
sign someone like fowler or zobrist and someone like gallardo or iwakuma
and trade lashit to the pirates or cardinals to get some meme tier prospect back,
eaton, zobrist, abreu, cargo, frazier, melky, alexei, sanchez, fleurs/avila
sale, q, rodon, iwakuma, danks
sounds like a pretty good team to me
>tfw I spend all my time thinking of possible moves the white sox can make
>sox fuck it up in real life
Not that they still can't make similar moves but now they have additional holes to fill. maybe they're just more adventurous than me and want to upgrade ss and catcher as well as all the other positions that they actually needed. but neither of those is easy to come by
>>63961701
>football
>>63961377
The AL is kind of in a weak state right now. Boston or New York are usually the favorites to come out of the AL most years. With them being mediocre the past few years it's opened up doors.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I think Texas will be very good next season. They'll get back Darvish and have Hamels for a full season.
>>63961940
Jesus christ what the fuck is that thing on his head?
Dinner Navarro and Alex Avila. Neither is really much if an improvement over fleurs, if at all.
>>63964307
Navarro is a decent catcher. He's got some power and at times has been clutch as fuck with RISP. He's obviously not a great catcher but he's good enough.
>>63956569
Kershaw isn't even a robot, fucknut.
>>63964388
Navarro is mediocre. Immobile, below average hitting, below average defense. Literally replacement tier.

>>63964388
Flowers is a MLB caliber catcher as well. Shit hitter but he frames well and calls games well. The pitchers loved him, especially Sale. They all pitched better with him behind the plate rather than soto, especially rodon
>>63955891

>>63959934

>>63964975
This team is really pissing me off. Not just for being awful and retarded, but for how they're treating their best players. No way Sale, the star if the team, is pleased at this move, he's probably pissed. And letting Alexei, one of the best players on the team over the past decade, just walk like that when there are no other options in house and only maybe marginally better options on the market.
Can't forget how they let Buehrle go, though that was a much different situation at least
Is the Greinke decision the last notable FA signing this hot stove / off season?
>>63965136
Of course not
>>63964975
It basically sounds like you made a lateral move with Navarro.

>>63965174
>this mad your team is too poor to sign 8 aces

Heyward is the prize of the offseason.
>>63965411
I'd rather have neither desu. Get a real cheap backup catcher that can play 30 to 40 games a year. You either get a solid defender or one who can hit. Martin falls somewhere in between those categories. He has one of the best caught stealing percentages in the majors and is reasonably offensive.

He can't catch Dickey. Need someone who can hit and catch Dickey. Thole can catch Dickey, but can't do anything else. If the catcher can swing a bat and throw, and catch a knuckler then I want him. Unlikely that catcher wants to be on the Jays though.

I remember how overhyped Montero and Joba were. Joba was fucked from the start though so I can't really blame him for being a bust. They should've just stuck with either having him be a starter or reliever. Montero on the other hand was never given a chance here. I think he would've done good if they kept him. Hughes was Hughes. Most fans didn't expect him to blossom beyond maybe a #2 or #3 starter.

Dipoto says Aoki will primarily be in LF. So that means either Seth Smith will be in RF or they'll trade him for some reason and get a bigger FA. Also he says he'll be leading off instead of Marte
I really, really miss baseball.

Reasons why the Giants literally can't afford Greinke:
>They have to sign Bumgarner on a 200m contract in 2 years.
>They have to sign Posey to a 200m contract in 2 years.
>>63970723
It's like you're trying to convince yourself
>>63970723
Posey through 2020, bruh
Yes on the bum thing, though. They have to lock him up.
>>63970557
>Either way better than the pit of money Sandoval what have been, what a shit contract that would have been.
>90 million dollars for a -2 WAR morbidly obese man.
How fucked would we be if we actually signed that?
>>63970723
stage 3: bargaining
>>63970723
They've got money coming off the books in the next couple of years and some promising pitching prospects for the rotation that they'll pay league minimum. They'll afford Bum's contract just fine as long as they don't go overboard on FA contracts after Greinke.

Nintendo doesn't do anything with the Mariners. They've always been completely hands-off, to a detriment since it's the execs they aren't firing for running a failure of a team for this long

Indians recently were in talks with the Giants over Carrasco and asked for a package centered around Belt and Panik for him, for some perspective on asking price
>Yankee "fans" thought Gardner would get Carrasco AND Salazar
>Doyer monkies thought Crawford or Ethier orP uig would get Carrasco
