Tal's Hill's last hurrah
I was a minor league washout. I was drafted by the Mets in one of the mid rounds and spent few seasons in the rookie teams before getting transferred to the Fireflies, St. Lucie and was sent back and forth within a couple of seasons. I was promoted to Binghamton and had a UCL injury. After that I just decided on going back to school rather than continue playing.
I probably could have kept playing and made it to AAA and hoped for a MLB contract. But it was a big gamble and unlikely. I didn't want to spend years slogging through the minors and be left with nothing to show for it. The pay is shit in the minors you can make more working for minimum wage. There's loads of people that get trapped in the minors hoping for a chance on the 40 man roster that'll either get them that MLB contract or bonus pay. They're all broke. If you're in the top 100 prospects you'll have it good and can demand more pay to make it worth your while so it's not even a risk. For everybody else it's a big risk.

Why are you moving the goal posts? Stroman will accrue more wins this season I'm not quite sure why you're so adamant about Estrada. He had a career year and will regress. I'm okay with that it would be fucking naive of me to expect similar results.
>>66473792
Kenta and Kershaw look like money and the offense is working. It's not like SF pitching is in any better condition, they're actually doing worse, if Cueto, Shark, Peavy, and Cain were no-names they'd have been sent back to minor league camp.
Fourth straight division title incoming only Greinke and Goldie clan stop us.
>>66473908
>pitcher wins are a measurement of how good a player is
>>66470618
>>66473997
Are you kidding? Greinke WAS the Dodgers. Kershaw is only good against bad teams while Greinke was consistent all around. The Dodgers fucked up by letting him go and put themselves in a coffin when they didn't replace him with another elite pitcher.
>16-10
i love spring training
>>66474035
35M for Greinke through the next 7 years is a ridiculous fucking amount of money. It wasn't the best thing for the team and it doesn't look good now, but it was the smart thing to do, there are position free agents like Machado and Strasburg coming into the market and the dodger farm is outstanding, and no team in the division is a considerable threat. If this was the NL central I would surrender right now, but this isn't the central. The fact that you can't apreciate Kershaw and what he's done for the Dodgers just speaks of how much of a homer piece of shit you are.
You talk so much shit about every player on the team but as soon as it's game time and someone does someone good you go around asking for web.m's and posting bs fairweather bullshit.

Chipper Jones is a major hottie. I don’t care what anyone says. He definitely still has it. His stance in the batters box and he’s so tall. The way his mouth goes crooked when he talks and that smile. I’d love to feel him on top of me. He makes me want to do bad things.
>>66474570

I'm pretty excited guys. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high (I'm a sports fan in Toronto after all) but I'm just so happy basedball is back soon. Bullpen shored up, great defence and probably the best line-up (though we will have to see!). It feels like the Jays have only 1 really glaring weakness (no real backup catcher) though I also dunno about the rotation depth. Anyway, I just wanted to express my enthusiasm for the coming year. I hope you guys have great seasons too!

Post spring training predictions are in
Basically anyone else think from what they've seen that literally every AL team could be a postseason or at least wild card contender except the A's?
Yankees: arod as well as their young rotation and new core can rise then to an easy WC berth
Red Sox: looking for some talent performing where they should but if they do, then whoa division crown is possible
Jays: no reason to not expect stroman and Estrada to shut the opposition down while bautista, encarnacion and Donaldson light up the scoreboard on way to an easy division title
Orioles: should be able to thrive with their above average rotation and crush Davies resigned, WC definitely possible
Rays: they beat Cuba! But jokes aside an above average team in all facets. I can see them taking a WC possibility
Tigers: strengthened the team with Upton and they still have miggy and Verlander, theyre still in position for a WC berth
Twins: young talent performing last year but faltering down the stretch makes you believe with another year under their belt, they can contend for a postseason appearance, Sano homering all the way
Royals: easy division favorites, defending world series champs retaining most of their good players and playmakers. Easy indeed.
Indians: very good rotation, Cy Kluber carrying this team to a WC berth is not unreasonable
Astros: division favorites, young talent getting better, keuchal and correa will take then easily to the division crown
Rangers: it's bounceback time for the Rangers as they look even more refueled now to make a big grab at a WC easily
Mariners: it's finally looking up for seattle, the Cano contract could easily payoff this year along with Felix and the rotation, Seattle could have a really big chance to end it's long playoff drought
Angels: still having Trout and a solid rotation as well as some other offensive producers can contend for a WC at least

I've decided this is the year that I finally get really into sports. I live in Northeast Ohio and I mainly support Cleveland teams, yes I know the Browns suck but they're my team and I still love them. I used to watch the Indians as a child with my great grandmother, and I'm not going to stop now. So I just kind of wanted to know going into this season if it's going to be a brown situation or if we have a chance to be good. Regardless I'm going to watch them but whatever.
>>66481510

I just responded without paying much attention. I just figure a fast manlet fits the bill of a CF better, especially in the hitting line up. I'm thinking about it in terms of their age while in office. Ike would be more of a bench coach probably. Nixon could be the grumpy fuck owner.

They have both the best starting rotation AND bullpen in their division. There's zero chance they finish last. Why do people always forget that pitching is important?

People said it was delusional to think the lastros and mest could make the playoffs last year. I'm following the trend of picking the most far out things because last year, doing that worked out amazingly.
>>66488648
Both teams are actually shit though. At least the Astros and Mets had the talent to prove people wrong. None of the teams you mentioned do.

It's the new age of baseball parity now.
That's not delusional at all.

Are you upset you have no starting pitching while our starting pitching is HANDS DOWN the best in the AL East?
Keep the delusions, Orilels cuck.

You're only saying this in hindsight. Did you say this before the season last year?

>muh new age
Look at the rosters for what they are rather than relying on "meme magic" to format your predictions. The two teams you mentioned are SHIT from top to bottom. My standings are based off TALENT rather than what some autistic Redditor believes.
