Re: M's sign Mitch Garver to minor league deal.

Polanco got $20 mil. You have Refsnyder from the right side and Donovan from the left for basically half the price. I wouldn't have spent on Polanco either, but neither Refsnyder or Donovan look like answers to me. They look like the typical guys Dipoto throws millions at then gives twice as many a...

Re: M's sign Mitch Garver to minor league deal.

I'd have gone with a scrap heap backup catcher, put the $2.25M they overspent on catchers, and the $6M they wasted on Refsnyder, and however much they're giving Donovan to be J.P.v2.0 and put it towards one good bat.

Re: Baseball is Back Game thread!

I hope they told the full speed type guys like Robles and Raley to take it easy in spring training and not dive into any nets.

They definitely have a deep lineup if these guys can stay healthy.

Re: Mass shooting in British Columbia

I'd agree that things like depression medications and other mind altering medications could play a large part in mass shootings. Ever seen the guy who made the term "melting pot" famous? Yeesh. Everyone's entitled to a homeland but the white man, apparently. Just have to look what's happening in pla...

Re: Mass shooting in British Columbia

Yes, ignore things like charts. Instead, please read this novel of nonsense.

Lol. Amazing.

Aurora, I'd love to see your chart that shows anything other than African Americans and Hispanics being the cause of our high murder rate. Lol.

Re: Mass shooting in British Columbia

LOL good one. Van life. ;-) That is a pretty bleak picture you pain, AuroraAve. Two questions: [1] Haven't other countries had the same "social" pressures as the US, and [2] With all off this horrible stuff, why is the homicide rate so LOW (the highest number on bpj's chart is 30.4 per 100,000 per ...

Re: Spring Training Thread

Im trying to envision a lineup with Refsnyder in the outfield and garver at DH. You can already field a right handed outfield with Julio, Robles, and Arozarena. If you wanted to get garvers bat in the lineup I'm not sure how you do it. Besides I think they go with Knizner anyway Just takes one inju...

Re: M's sign Mitch Garver to minor league deal.

Garver would make $2 mil as opposed to Knizer making $1 mil. So we want Knizner on the roster not because he would be the better option but because Wilson would possibly be less inclined to use him. Personally I would prefer the best possible bat. I don't think Wilson will make decisions like that ...

Re: Mass shooting in British Columbia

SeattleorBust: Does the chart imply that there were NO mass shootings anywhere else? (Haiti? Venezuela? Kenya?) DavidGee: It is a good question, if the poor parts of these cities are like the poor parts of the US cities you cite. But, correct me if I am wrong, aren't the mass shootings in the US ty...

I think Wilson be as likely to use Knizer at DH as garver if Knizner is the only right hander he has available. It's not going to be about ops, it's going to be about handedness
Pathetic.
