Yeah. A 7-year, $28MM/year deal would add up to $196 before incentives and that seemed very attainable with next offseason's shitty crop of pictures and the way the market is trending.

If a player is being intentionally walked, why don't they ever swing on what would be ball 3 or 4? You could make the pitcher have to throw an extra pitch, and just the unexpected nature of doing so could probably fluster a scrub reliever. Plus, if there's a runner on, a manager could draw up a swing-and-run and nab the catcher or an infielder napping on a slow pitch

THIS. FUCKING. OFFENSE.
Sometimes its just fucking 2 based 4 my life.
Jackie Bradley Junior is a criminally insane human being that deserves to be locked in an insane asylum.
And by "locked in an insane asylum" I actually mean immediately inducted into the HOF.
David Ortiz and JBJ are literally absolute madmen.
>back in 1st because the Eternal 4th Placer's got rained out
THANK YOU BASED RAIN, MY GREATEST ALLY
So who gets traded for a starter who doesn't suck bowls of dicks, Sox fans? JBJ and Swihart are my bets, maybe (hopefully) Young too.
>>67473728
>trading lefty killer
>>67472874
he should be
>>67473766
>
>>67473728
It will either be Swihart or Vazquez, those are the most expendable pieces and I don't think Dombrowski wants to keep both.
Both are excellent players.
JBJ isn't going anywhere. Here's why: Dombrowski fucking loves him, and he even tried to trade for him while he was in Detroit (back while JBJ was sucking).
My guess is that Holt might be put on the table, or if not him, then a shit load of prospects will be used.
Dombrowski is not afraid to use prospects as trade pieces, as his track record shows.
I just hope he keeps Moncada and Benintendi. I'd let anyone else go.
>>67473728
What will you give me for Wade Miley?
>>67473815
>big game wade will never stand up to farrell's low-effort managing again
>>67473808
They'll be more likely to keep Vazquez even though Swihart has a better bat, teams won't want to take a chance on CV re-aggravating his shoulder. Plus, should he return to full form, Vazquez becomes the best defensive catcher in the league for a long, long time.
Mookie and Xander are untouchable of course (I'm just talking younger guys at this point), and JBJ is a beast even if he can't hit over .250 consistently.

>>67474087
>Mookie and Xander are untouchable of course
Well they aren't "untouchable" that kind of mentality gets us no where, I just think Dombrowski won't listen to any calls about them if the price they offer isn't absurdly high.
I think if a team would give up a #1 pitcher and some other doohickeys to go with for say, Mookie, I think DD would at least consider it.
Every player on this team is expendable, some just come at higher prices than others obviously.
I think that if he can find a suitor for Hanley willing to take the contract OR a suitor for Pedroia with a really high offer, he'd pull the trigger in a second, but I just don't think that's realistic to expect.
My guess is that he's going to reach into the prospect pool and move a player like Rafael Devers, a top 25 MLB prospect, with a bunch of other lesser prospects for a starting pitcher.
That's just my guess.
If I had to rank the starting 9 players on the roster he'd be willing to trade, I'd put it in this order respectively: Vazquez/Swihart, Pedroia, Hanley, Rutledge, Shaw, JBJ, Xander, Mookie, Ortiz (no way in hell management would allow it)
I dont think he'd trade Young, but I'd put him between Rutledge and Hanley at this point if he wanted to.
>>67474419
Oh, realized I forgot Holt, put him ahead of Rutledge
>>67474419
>I think if a team would give up a #1 pitcher and some other doohickeys to go with for say, Mookie, I think DD would at least consider it.
>this is what pink hats believe
They would have to give up Mookie and a few lesser prospects for a legit ace. Unless you meant a #1 like you guys meant 5 aces last year, then yeah, it would take an """"""ace"""""" and some other doohickeys for Mookie.
>>67474598
you missed the point of that
DD would only trade Mookie or Xander or what have you if the trading price was ridiculously high
But you're too much of a douche to realize the point of my post.
>>67470159
How about those Mets though...
>>67474650
That Mookie and Xander are extremely overpriced in your eyes? Yeah I get the point.

>>67474726
To point out how dumb the words you typed sound when you say them out loud. You're basically saying that Dombrowski would only consider a trade for Chris Sale or Sonny Gray and a few other guys for Mookie Betts.
>>67474805
>You're basically saying that Dombrowski would only consider a trade for Chris Sale or Sonny Gray and a few other guys for Mookie Betts.
Well, ya. That's my fucking point. Someone would have to overspend for DD to actually trade him.
Jesus you guys.
How about not trading for a "legit ace" ? Yeah Cherington already tried that and it's failed miserably, but Dominator Dave should look for some solid #2-3 guys who won't break the bank and/or sell the farm.
Hypothetical:
If Price wised up and went full acemode as he was supposed to from this very moment until the last minute of the deadline, would you try to pawn him off for a nice package of 2-3 front-end guys, or risk him blowing up in September/October as he has in the past?
>>67474846
How do you know this? Are you Dave Dombrowski? Do you work for him? If Chris Sale was on the table for the Red Sox and all it took was Mookie Betts or Xander Bogaerts, he would do it in a second.
>>67474888
>If Chris Sale was on the table for the Red Sox and all it took was Mookie Betts or Xander Bogaerts, he would do it in a second.
That is the definition of overspending.
>>67474858

Who are you talking about?

>>67474858
The only thing you could get for Price is another Sandoval. No team wants any part of that disastrous contract
>>67474907
To get someone of his caliber, it's what has to be done. It would be more than Mookie or Xander by the way.

Jesus how much did you misunderstand the point of my whole post?
And DD isn't going to be trading for a Chris Sale.
All I said was for a starting pitcher. We can't afford to trade for a bonafide #1 starter from a team UNLESS DD does want to give up key roster starters, which nothing I have read even indicates he does besides a catcher.
>>67474991
>whomever came over in a trade to complete his "5 aces" mad-genius plan
He traded for Porcello, Miley, and Kelly didn't he?
Nobody he signed was a """""legit ace"""""". They were all test subjects that Cherington projected to be "aces"

If Cuckleballer continues to be their best pitcher and they are somewhat in contention by the trade deadline, I guarantee they'll trade for a #1. Probably not Chris Sale if the Whos continue to be good but maybe Sonny Gray.
>>67475159
Sonny Gray's stock has been blasted this season. He ain't a #1 by #1 trade value standards.

The AL blows. There isn't one legitimate contender this year. Sure the bottom-feeders rare better than the NL's bottom feeders, but the NL routinely has 4-5 legit contenders, and the AL only has one. Last year it happened to be the team that won the WS.

For the most part it's different every year. Labelling contenders in may is fucking stupid why would you do this? Everyone knows the post season is about who pitches better and is swinging the hotter bat. I only see 2 contenders in the NL right now.
>>67481128
Mets and Cubes?
>>67481546
In my opinion yes. But I still think it's silly to label contenders in May. A lot can change in 4 months.

Bad move. He's 32, and still has 4 years left. Assuming Schwarber isn't permaded, he'd be blocked next year. Also, if Baez keeps hitting, he can replace Bryant at 3rd and put Kris in LF. It's a defensive upgrade at 3rd at the very least.
Why relieve themselves of the last of their top prospects for Braun? For a 1 or 2 starter, sure, but Braun is a bad short-sighted move.
>Bill Nye the Science Guy on MLB Central soon

That's what I was thinking. Besides being public enemy #1 at wrigley, he'll be past his prime in 2 years or so most likely.

>>67483054

>>67483150
Their fanbase.
>>67483124
RD is useful for determining whether a team is just getting lucky, and if they'll be able to sustain whatever success they're having. Phillies pythag-record is 13-19 because their RD is -37. Them having an 11-3 record in 1-run games just tells you they've been getting lucky
>>67483166
Because it's a tie breaker and you need those. Even though that is like the third or fourth tie breaker used, not the first.
So that shows MLB doesn't give a shit about that
I can't even recall the last time that was actually used for a tie break in baseball
>>67483124
No, the Cubs are just an extremely stacked team with a fuck ton of depth and have great coaching and managing.
Look at how they started the game on Sunday, they were awful, dropped and bobbled catches, piss poor throws, Arrieta had 3 wild pitches and had to be pulled because of his pitch count by the 5th inning. Yet. they minimized the damage, made the adjustments, and came back to win.
They've been shut down by good pitchers a few times, they just buttfuck the bullpen.
>>67483192
>They use it in a tie braker
>But it's not the first thing
>So that shows MLB doesn't give a shit about that

>>67483150

>>67483170
Why is baseball somehow the only sport you can't show emotion? Michael Jordan was an asshole and face of the league. Look at all the assholes in the NFL as well.
But baseball can't have a guy showing his heart on his sleeve because in baseball everyone has to be a robot
>>67483189
Rather be lucky than good. You don't give titles to teams that score the most.

>>67483208
>Back peddling
How?
I never said they didn't use it for a tie break. I said it obviously doesn't matter as much since it's only like the fourth tie break used which to my knowledge still hasn't ever been needed
>>67483220
The thing is that luck is mostly unsustainable. That's why RD is used.
>>67483241
You said run differential was worthless
I pointed out it is used in tie breakers
You admit this is true, which refutes your original statement since it shows that run differential is used by the league, but then back peddle and say because it's not one of the first in line it doesn't matter to try and reinforce your point even with evidence presented that is completely contrary to it.
>>67483220
I get it anon you should be able to be yourself and show emotion but there is a line. I have nothing against Harper and I agree with him that you need to show emotion and get excited about the game. Emotions do get the best of people sometimes

You ever wonder what's up with fans who boo or even hate players for their performance on the field?
Every single player in the majors is a hyper competitor who crawled their way through thier team's farm system after crawling thier way to that through thankless high school and college ball. Do you actually think they aren't competing and trying their hardest on every single play? Do you actually think they're trying to lose the game for the other 24 guys and many more who are depending on him as much as he is depending on the others? Do you actually think they aren't professionals who carry themselves professionals?

It runs far deeper than Coors babby and regression due to age. His mental toughness is shit and he has absolutely no clue what he's doing at the plate right now.

This.

>Mesoraco confirmed done for the year
I like Tucker Barnhart and he has proven himself in the lineup but Mesoraco is a beast when he gets hot. Shame he can never stay healthy.

Is there a Royals version of this because they are 2-8 the last 10.
FOX Sports: MLB @MLBONFOX 9s10 seconds ago
MLB announces #Royals' No.1 prospect Raul Mondesi Jr suspended 50 games after testing positive for performance-enhancing substance.

Becuase there isn't a better option for the Giants.

Suarez and a handful of AAA guys could probably put up an ERA in the 4-5 range. It'd be an improvement over Jake "3 home runs in one inning" Peavy.
@Joelsherman1
Mondesi failed a PED test but MLB and MLBPA reached agreement to drop from 80 to 50 Gs after he showed substance in cold medicine #Royals

Maybe, but do you really want to kill their development like that?
Especially with the Giants inconsistent offense?
I mean, I understand where you're coming from, buts it's really not worth it to kill your MiL devlopment.

this is the funniest post of 2016

Do you even Pilate?

Mondesi: I took an over-the-counter medication (Subrox-C)which I bought in the Dominican Republic to treat cold and flu symptoms.
I failed to read the labeling on the medication or consult with my trainer or team about taking it
and did not know it contained a banned substance. I tested positive for that banned substance

Gotta love the "cough medicine" that boosts your slugging % by 100 points. Jake Arrieta is probably on the phone with Raul right now asking where he can pick up some of the stuff.
>>67488648
Jake doesn't do PEDs though.
