He’s not a “folkie”, and the Band backed him on only one studio album (and the basement tapes).

I’m just happy Dylan DIDN’T make this list.

Lots of Guys, yes, but not one LaFleur.

Nice detour on israel; note that no one actually brings up what China is doing to it’s Muslim population because no one wants to upset them and jeopardize business interests with the world’s second largest economy. 

I don’t know, is Tanaka, Severino and Big Maple really a “weak” rotation? It’s actually worlds better than the clowns the Twins claim are “starters.”

The only thing to barf at was seeing a 101 win team play like a semi-pro factory tea. Guess that’s what happens when you get to beat up on the Tigers, Royals and White Sox on a nearly nightly basis. 

RAYZIST.

Seeing that the Big 10 Network sends each school $51 million per year, I’d say the ACC schools don’t be in debt all that long from building those studios if the windfall from this tv balkanization is anyplace near that number.

No one told Trestman there were four downs. 

I was both at the Detroit game (where he missed four kicks, and the Bears went for a two point conversion because of that) and Eagles playoff game. After the Eagles froze him with the late TO, you just knew something bad was going to happen, and it did.

Mumford isn’t to blame, it’s his goddamned sons that are always causing the problems.

Agree completely. 

The reason you care about how much they make isn’t what it means to your pocket, but what it means to the team’s spending. Crappy long term deals handicap all but the richest or most creative of teams, and can bury an organization for years; certainly, the Yankees, who have been staying under the luxury tax for the…

His 2015 was also as bad a year as any outfielder had, and “memorable plays” can mean a guy is out of positions or gets a late jump on a ball. He’s in the red defensively every year since 2013, and maybe he’s seeing the ball better in Philly, but that’s still barely average.

Oh, I don’t care if the Phils make money or not, I’m sure that (for now) the deal looks great to them, even with that fangraphs War valuation. Thing is, he’s in his peak years, and has 10 more left. Albert Pujols and Miggy Cabrera are gonna love watching Bryce. 

Add in that he’s pretty much been the worst defensive outfielder of the last 5 years, and UGH.

Baseball reference (after adding last night’s slam) has him up to 2.3. Beastly.

What’s all this bullshit about a guy having a 2.1 WAR season through mid August that’s getting paid 30 million plus being some sort of amazing asset? Didn’t Deadspin used to goof on this guy in the past? Or have you confused him with Gritty or some shit like that?

When ye have a city that’s actually called “Bury St Edmunds”, ye needn’t need create false names.

No relegation, laddie. The EFL has 72 teams, all of which can (potentially) be a Premier league team.
