Around Baseball 2015 Edition

[Runnin]

So do the Gnats go Braves this off-season.

No, but they've lost 6 in a row.

Harper with only a a 143 WRC+ in the 2nd half so far. I wonder if he's hurt.

best hitter ever

 

[thewupk]

best hitter ever

I agree. Once in a lifetime talent.

 

[Heyward]

just regression to the mean

Well, his feelings, maybe.

[zbhargrove]

The notion that Harper has ever been a better hitter than Trout is hysterical

So do the Gnats go Braves this off-season.

No. They'll sign Heyward and another big pitcher and this board will **** itself.

Cherington out, Dombrowski in. Nice move by Boston.

Frank Wren is the leading contender to be GM under Dave Dombrowski with the #RedSox now that Ben Cherington is leaving.

 

[Hawk]

But I thought Frank was a bad GM?

It could work out for Boston, so long as DD does all of the FA negotiations.

Didn't Dombrowski sign Prince Fielder, Justin Verlander, and Miguel Cabrera to their albatross contracts?

Anyways, Boston could have 5 BJ Upton's on the books and still have the financial wherewithal to sign 5 more.

I'm calling it now. Wren gets the job as Boston GM and signs Heyward to a massive deal.

That would be bad news for Heyward and Boston based on Wren's FA signing history.

Heyward signs 10 year 200 million dollar deal with the Red Sox, and he goes on to bat .126 with a .154 OBP and a .011 slg% and suddenly becomes Evan Gattis in RF.

If Heyward gets 200 million then how bad could it really be for him?

I will know that I'm truly in hell.

 

[Prikichi]

Schuerholz really f'd up imo. I still think firing Wren was a bad move. I was/am a big Wren supporter. He knows how to build winning teams, screw the farm i say. As long as the big team is winning who cares?

Because bad GMs never get jobs again? It happens all the time.
