The Phils just acquired Howie Kendrick.

Darin Ruf and Darnell Sweeney are going to the Dodgers.




Yeah, that's a thing.

This seems like a push

The more I think about it the more I like it. Kendrick seems like a good bounce-back candidate and Sweeney and Ruf were never going to amount to anything.

I think its more likely Kendrick hits his decline phase rather than bounce back

Hellickson accepted the Phillies QO, so he's off the market.

17.2 m for Hellickson then. What determines the salary of QOs because 17.2 seems like way too much?

it's not that the pics in question are specifically offensive, the offensive part of it is the implication that being a woman would be some kind of punishment

The other thing about Schilling is that you can make a very easy argument for him being the best postseason pitcher of all time (it's either him or Mo Rivera).

Curt Schilling is ... clutch?

Jung Ho Kang was cut from the South Korean WBC team after his third DUI last month.

I am beginning to suspect that he may not be that great of a guy.

Chris Coughlan may have been onto something?

Arguably, the proper metric for evaluating closers on a career basis is WPA not WAR or Saves. In that context, Rivera really does stand head and shoulders above the field. Here is a list of all-time WPA leaders among relief pitchers

Top 10:
Mo - 55.75
Hoffman - 32.78
Gossage - 31.69
Nathan - 30.73
Billy Wagner - 28.40
Papelbon - 28.25
KRod - 27.03
Lee Smith - 24.36
Troy Percival - 22.34 (who?)
Keith Loulke - 21.46 (who?)

Eckersley doesn't show up on this filter because he spent time as a starter, but in his years as a closer his WPA total was 33.37.

I refuse to believe Papelbon is the 6th best relief pitcher of all time

Hot Take Alert

Chris Correa getting 4 years is kinda harsh imo. Its not like he sent the Astros a trojan or brute forced their system. He correctly deduced Jeff Luhnow is kinda dumb and that Eckstein123 is a poo poo password. While probably a crime, its not "hacking" imo and Correa did the world a favor in reminding people in how to not pick passwords. Cards getting punished is still good because it is cheating and Cardinals.


Eckstein123 :laffo:
