The Polaroid Random Thoughts Baseball Thread

i'm surprised that Lind had any option years left that the Jays could send him down without him having to clear waivers first.

this Yan Gomes guy will be the first Brazilian Born player in MLB!!!

Funny that a guy they used in marketing campaigns is being sent down to the minors.

I think the best we can hope for out of Colby is .250/20 type stuff. He does have a good arm though.

Cub mascot Kerry Wood retiring today.

Yeah, he was up in the bleachers with his kid during BP. His wife leaked the news on Facebook.

Been Pleased with the Pirates acquiring AJ Burnett, hopefully he can get them some prospects in some sort of package deal by July 31

I still remember the 20k game from Wood.

Marlins 14-5 in May after a REALLY shitty April

 

[Archie]

I know it is early, but can't remember a year where it was this competitive in pretty much every division......

 

[Tron]

Some shitty teams are playing well......

Baltimore still in 1st place

Mets and Marlins tied for 8th best win % in MLB

At least the Blue Jays have Omar Vizquel. I like him. Both his batting average and slugging percentage are .179

I appreciate that kind of symmetry.

 

[Tron]

Wow that is really hard to do.

only 154 more to go till 3000!

he should reach it by age 57

very strange to see Roy Halladay be so human

 

[Tron]

And The Freak too

 

[Archie]

if i'm a GM in MLB i'm not giving out too many Big long term contracts. Seems like these hitters figure guys out quicker, or arms have a shorter shelf life..... I don't know...

remember Ubaldo Jimenez's short Sandy Koufax days?

Brandon Webb, Haren, chris young ect

Post steroid ERA equals= shorter career in prime? Tougher to recover as quickly? Pure speculation without any research or stats to back it up. Just a thought.

Archie, guess Ryan Howard's contract might not be that bad? TBD and anxiously waiting for his return! Crossing my fingers!
