It always stuns me when I remember Jason GIambi played seven years after his stint with the Yankees. He just fell completely out of my personal awareness unless I actually saw a picture of him or something.

Opinion: The Jays should stop being such ridiculous dipshit assholes and sign Bautista already.

Mariners are going to be just good enough that you think they should be able to do better, but still miss the second wildcard by 1-2 games again, right?

It sucks pretty hard and Bud Selig can go gently caress himself, but at least the Astros aren't entering their contention window in the same division as the Cubs I guess

Brett Lawrie, whom the Brewes picked with the final true first round pick of Jack Z's tenure in Milwaukee, has more career WAR than all of Jack Z's picks in his tenure with Seattle. That probably won't be true eventually but, if Lawrie keeps getting starts and playing good defense, he could hold off the field a little while longer.

Cause Kyle Seager has been worth more than double what Lawrie has.

This is the doldrums of the offseason and it sucks. Nothing is happening, there's nobody left on the FA market that anyone cares about, and it's 6 weeks before even pitchers and catchers report. God drat I want it to be Opening Day....

Heyman gave us something to talk about today, with a fairly lengthy and surprisingly introspective column on his HoF ballot. On the one hand, he deserves props for things like this Hey Man posted:This year for instance, I loosened up my own standards, which is really an admission about my previous 20 or so ballots. Yes, after about two decades of voting, I finally decided I need to cast votes for the maximum 10 players. That quite likely implies a fairly stark reality: I should have voted for more players on previous ballots. and on steroids: Hey Man posted:We don’t know everything we think we know. For instance, we don’t know everyone who cheated, or how often they cheated, or certainly how much it helped. Then he goes on to vote for Bonds but not Clemens because he's pretty sure Bonds didn't start using till 1999 but Clemens started after he left Boston. Also Posada and McGriff over Walker/Bagwell. Spent lots of time explaining that he'd like to vote for Schilling but the journalist lynching thing was just "beyond the pale" for him. I also enjoyed this, from his section on Vlad Hey Man posted:(every post-World War II player with a .318 average and at least 5,000 plate appearances is in the Hall, according to MLB Network research) Lots to unpack here bawfuls fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Jan 3, 2017 |

"Didn't vote for Bagwell" is all I need to see to tell him to gently caress off  e: Bagwell is lower on his list than Schilling for character reasons? Yeah definitely gently caress off Heyman Intruder fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jan 3, 2017 |

MOVIE MAJICK posted:Didn't Schilling famously steal taxpayer money in Maryland? Rhode Island, he set up a game studio with a massive loan from the state government then defaulted on it when the studio went under. There's no question he's a tremendous rear end in a top hat but on stats alone he's certainly got a reasonable HoF case - 200 wins, 3000 IP, 3000 Ks, career ERA+ of 127, CY runner-up three times (to Johnson twice and Santana), 6 ASGs, 3 rings, 80.7 career WAR.
