QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 06:17 PM) then what is it in your opinion? Honestly don't know. I could see arguments for both, just don't like move unless he was unlikely to recover.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Nov 12, 2016 -> 06:11 PM) To me that's a move if you are tanking. You don't just release a guy who can be average at 3B or 2B and doesn't make that much money. Not even really a tanking move to me. He's young and cheap enough to be inconsequential and a lottery ticket to flip.

Bizarre move. Not a fan.

Toronto will be very interesting to watch. Wouldn't be surprised if this means they sign Bautista.

He wrote one of the most inane books I've ever read but Jonah Goldberg continues to grow to be the best writer in national review http://www.nationalreview.com/g-file/44212...ll-be-hard-keep Gold all over.

If the last 3 elections have shown anything it's that policy doesn't matter and personality is everything. Hell, the last 7 elections show that.

Bloomberg wouldn't get through dem primary.

QUOTE (sammy esposito @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) replacing frazier with Davidson is risky. Davidson has yet to prove himself. Frazier is the real deal , how many 3rd basemen do we have to go through just to find one not Frazier's equal. We have frazier for another year. What do you expect to accomplish next year?

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/201...rce=twitter.com This is going to be so funny. McCardle is an honest critic and frankly I have severe regret about Obamacare and the wonk solutions that will not stick. But it is going to be so funny to see honest coverage of obamacare now that it will go away. Suddenly instead of only focusing on everything terrible, people will be interested in what they lose.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) The people in the electoral college aren't in partisan leadership? Huh, that is new to me. OK - fair enough but I guess I don't know what you are talking about then. I thought you were talking about the petition to have the electoral college overturn the results b/c clinton won pop vote. But also, electors are a reflection of state party leadership and that does not always = what we mean when talking about the democratic party leaders.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) Honestly, f*** the Republicans. But that doesn't really fit the meme's, so whatever. Right, but they have power. It's okay for people to speak up. And speaking up does not mean that it enables Trump. The only thing that enables trump is voting for him. I know you didn't. I know you are against a lot of the awful things he said. But they also weren't directed at you, and to the people they were they are justifiably scared. But the dem leadership has accepted the result. The president has reached out and all of the opponents are rooting for his success. That does NOT mean Americans that he promised to punish need to accept the language of his candidacy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 11:54 AM) Again, we can go around and around in circles with who did what, who said what, etc. Reminder - the person that said it is the president elect. The other people you are talking about will not be in the democratic leadership. Can you tell me that you are confident that if a terrorist attack, even minor, happens on US soil when Trump is president we will see a presidential response? Because if not the fear was justified.

At some point the Republicans can take responsibility for themselves for electing this completely unqualified man who campaigned on punishing Americans. The party of personal responsibility.

"Same People". Glad to know we've established that people on your facebook feed have the same power of their opinions as the President elect.

Cuomo has no constituency nationally.

Well teaching them how to be a plumber in a low-density neighborhood isn't solving structural unemployment. Best case you make mobility as easy as possible but likely case its only marginally effective because people stay in places for lots of reasons.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 09:51 AM) Maybe but I think he's just bad at this point. A few years back, I would have jumped all over a trade for him but I don't think he's ever going to be anything more than a 4th of. Yeah, I should add I had a great sentence to finish off that thought "for a rebuilding team". Frazier for Soler not really my bag but I think getting players like that is smart to flip later

Jobs training - these have just not been effective, but they make people feel good because it theoretically supports work and not just welfare. But, gotta say I'd prefer pork infrastructure spending like bridges to nowhere than something that promises work that can't deliver.

Soler is a good buy low candidate.

We're coming off an 8 year presidency where he had exact same exp. as Harris. I think Booker is fools gold. Gillibrand is going to have money and party leader Chuck Schumer. Warren will be old.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 04:59 PM) Well, while I think you are on the high end, I would anticipate the costs of a rebuilt roster to be much lower than 20-30% lower than our current payroll costs. The one kind of funny thing about the rebuild is the big parts of our payroll are really hard to move. Sale/Q/Jones/Eaton barely make a dent. Melky/Robertson you aren't really selling to "rebuild", would largely be cost-cutting.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Ha, good point. Forgot about that. Our President and First Lady have had countless numbers of those people in the White House as role models and first class citizens. But, ya know, #itsdifferent. He was being sarcastic. For your hypothetical to work, the entire criticism of Trump and women would be based off of his howard stern interviews. But they are not about those, they are about the tape where he talks about forcing himself on women because he's famous.
