Id actually much prefer to see if the guy has anything left than to ship him out of town with a IOU attached. Travis shaw turned back into a pumpkin last year, Yoan needs seasoning and Brock Holt needs to not be pressed into starting duty if at all humanly possible Plus I just like Pablo, even before he came to Boston, and I want him to do well

This is basically worthless coming from a Boston fan but even despite 'the curse' the cubs had that 'team of destiny' stink all over them for the whole playoffs, imo

Doesn't LA have like 8 starting pitchers at this point? Surely they're going to have to jettison some guys right?

As good as Sale is, I'm really not pumped about the idea of trying to beat a giolito/Robles package, gotta figure it begins with moncada/jbj/e-rod at the least

I retract my previous statement. If the deal is as listed, it's real good for the Red Sox. Losing moncada may wind up stinging pretty badly but... it also might not. No JBJ or benintendi is pretty huge, as well.

Sydin posted:In Dexter Fowler news, he apparently has a 4/60 deal on the table from the Cardinals, but is reluctant to sign because of "clubhouse culture" issues, with Matheny in particular apparently being an issue. I couldn't find a picture of it that didn't destroy the tables here but just pretend I posted :fredbirdpolicelivesmatter:

I always thought some kind of 'arena baseball' would be pretty cool for minor leaguers and and independent ballers to play in the offseason stuff like aluminum bats, high walls and extremely odd field dimensions, a designated fielder, home run derby to decide games after 12 innings etc. just goofy stuff like that, i guess you'd have to play it exclusively indoors but idk i'd watch the hell out of it NiceGuy fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Dec 16, 2016 |

howe_sam posted:He was terrible in the first half of the season. Got moved into the bullpen, and was decent for the last two months of the season. But trusting him to be anything is a fool's errand. Yeah this is probably the most accurate way to put it. Buchholz is one of the most frustrating pitchers to watch, the guy dips between 'unhittable' and 'unmissable' at the drop of a hat and he'll probably never put up 200 innings in a season. I'll still miss him though. That no hitter in his second start was awesome and he definitely played a big role in the 2013 championship.

OOTP owns and I'm not at all ashamed to say I've wasted countless hours on what is essentially a spiffed-up spreadsheet Like I honestly don't even buy the console baseball games anymore because they just don't scratch the itch the way I need it scratched

Don't leave the bag and you won't get called out. I don't really see the issue with enforcing one of the most basic tenets of the game  Maybe you should only pop-up slide in situations where you won't get tootblan for it? idk I'm no joe maddon
