    Like Cosby, he always kept it clean. He was more cute than funny, but like Peanuts, I enjoyed it.

    Hart had the 29th best OPS in MLB last year. Anyone who thinks he can be easily replaced is simply incorrect. He is Hunter Pence on offense, a few runs worse on D.
  3. dadofandrew
    Rogers will be a reliever if he ever makes it, as he is unlikely to remain healthy enough to pitch 150 innings. That isn't a change, as he needs to pitch to develop.

    I bet Bowden was low on Madsen, and will be on others. This is not 2002, and the owners are flush with cash.

    Pena was very solid in '11, he just walks instead of getting singles. OBP and SLG is 98% effective in predicting runs scored, BA is not. I doubt BA even gets mentioned in many front offices. He should be platooned though, but finding a lefty masher to play 1B is cheap and easy.

    Bridesmaids would have been far funnier as a 1:30 film, rather than 2 hours. All the wasted scenes, the entire subplots about baking, the jewelry store, her current relationship, added nothing. Even the looking for the bride thing could have been shortened. Kevin Smith has said on many occasions that it's tough to sustain humor for more than 90-100 minutes, yet he has released 2+ hour films too. It's like getting into a relationship with someone who cheats, it rarely works, but people always think this will be the exception. Even a hilarious film like Something About Mary could have been better if it were 10-15 minutes shorter.

    Sanchez was rushed and his numbers show it. He's probably "just" a #3 SP, but that's plenty good. He's had far better results than Narveson, and Chris has plenty of value, even at a far higher salary. His away ERA is only 0.10 higher than his home, so he won't fall apart.

    Something rarely if ever mentioned is how low interest rates are, MA has likely refinanced whatever debt he inherited down 2-3 times. That may well allow him to spend more in payroll than he may have thought possible even a year or two ago.

    So there are your two posted complaints with Breen's post, actually addressed in the piece. Maybe read the whole thing next time before resorting to name-calling. Saito is the primary set-up man in Breen's scenario. He also counts on two guys returning from injury to hold down spots with no "what ifs" other than Peralta. He has Fiers as the #5 SP, and Estrada in the bullpen. As I said, Saito is limited, no back-to-backs (or very, very few) and one inning a game. His "plan" has no pitching depth except Peralta, despite a plethora of guys coming off injuries. Morrison is worth far more than Narveson as well. I do agree Thornburg would be a mighty tough trade, but especially for a guy like Headley, who is not a huge upgrade over the cheaper Green/RH platoon option. Tyler could go for a good SS, not for a tiny improvement at 3B. Deciding on Scott Hairston is odd too, as he gets out 70% of the time, not what you want to see in a bench bat, to say the least. I could name several better, never mind you'd prefer a SH/LH hitter to back up Braun/Hart.

    Barmes is probably about 3-5 runs better overall than the average SS, but he's not young and I feel he'll make far too much/too many years as well. As an OBP guy, it's really tough to like a guy who has gotten out almost 70% of the time while having home parks of Coors and Minute Maid. Also, there's just no ceiling to speak of.
  11. dadofandrew
    Near perfect deal for KC, they have a replacement who is about as good and far cheaper, and they get a solid SP, which fills a huge need.
  12. dadofandrew
    Take a year off Prince and Reyes, and the money and years seem reasonable and likely. Some, especially the lower level SP's, seem a bit low.
  13. dadofandrew
    What Briggs said. Painfully amateurish. Add in Saito, a guy who can't go back-to-back days as the 8th inning guy, and the lack of research is apparent. Also note that there's no mention of "extra" pitchers except Peralta. Needless to say, Doug will have more than 13 pitchers to choose from, as injuries and ineffectiveness will happen.
  14. dadofandrew
    So few Cuban players have had average or above careers, I'd hesitate to give him half of the $30M. Age questions, cultural adjustments, lack of top flight competition and comparables. Given the Crew would likely have to overpay due to a lack of a Cuban-American community, even moreso.
  15. dadofandrew
    I don't think McClendon/Kintzler have value in that type of deal. Wright makes $15M this year and has an option for $16M next...I'd have trouble dealing much for him, as I feel he is overpaid by $3-5M per, given his injury risk and projected production. Signing Ramirez makes far more sense, as does Green and a platoon partner. Maybe if I could see how his Citibank to Miller numbers might be affected... He's also -30 runs over the past three years in both UZR and DRS. Injuries have probably hurt his range, but he's a very subpar defender at this stage.
  16. dadofandrew
    Wright hits better at home, so expecting an increase when he leaves NY seems like thinking with your heart and not your head. Add in declining production his past three seasons, that he's past his mythical peak, and he's coming off an injury, there's plenty to be wary of.
  17. dadofandrew
    My wife and I were both surprised how unfunny Bridesmaids was. Had some moments, but given the box office and reviews, was expecting far more. If not for the Mike and Molly gal, it would have been a snoozer.
  18. dadofandrew
    I assume they are using different road materials, or composition, or something, and want to see how they hold up over time.
  19. dadofandrew
    If Prado could play SS, this makes some sense, as Jurrjens will be far cheaper than anyone besides Narveson. However, Prado hits like a SS, while Hart hits like an above average RF.
  20. dadofandrew
    Matt's numbers were very similar to Hart's early on. That said, I'm sure he'd choose a team that needs a LF/RF/DH, and since they've already said Hart is not moving to 1B, the question is moot.
  21. dadofandrew
    Roenicke said the personal catcher thing would not continue. Lucroy has all off season to figure out the supposedly "complex" system and not be so slow.
  22. dadofandrew
    Most people never pay for a Woodchucks ticket, sponsors give them out by the handful. Library night, credit union night, car dealers, jewelry stores, and so on. Face is $6, $9 or 10 for the few reserved seats behind the plate, but often, the ticket window is barren.
  23. dadofandrew
    Maldonado is supposedly an outstanding defender, and George K is a competent reserve. No interest.
  24. dadofandrew
    As a platoon player, that's all Blake would have to play. He might be a guy, like Kotsay, looking to not play a whole lot.
  25. dadofandrew
    Blake does hit LHP well, and will likely come cheap. I've seen far worse ideas.
