QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) Would extending Kahnle to a team friendly deal (like Nate Jones) and buying out his arb years, make him more valuable? I would assume so. Teams would have the financial certainty and control.

How many teams can pull off a deal for a reliever similar to the deals the Yankees made with Indians and Cubs without it effecting their minor league systems that badly? It really didn't hurt either honestly. We all know about the depth the Cubs have at the MLB level and in the minors still and the Indians still had what, 5 top 100 players post-trade?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) Well I mean Super Nintendo and N64. Yeah those were good as well but I still feel like the Cube had a wider variety.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 08:07 AM) And if they don't, my guess is he will be signed as an undrafted FA at some point when some of the dust settles. Some team will give him a chance. I could see some team drafting him. I really don't want it to be the Sox. I think I could maybe talk myself into it being "ok" but man I don't know if I'd feel good about myself cheering for him.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 02:49 AM) After relying on the girls from work to get me in to the gym, and them being pretty unreliable/consistent, I decided to just get my own membership. I now go about twice a week (I work out late at night, I work weekends, and they close early on weekends, so week days are my only chance). I know I should probably go more, but according to my phone, I walk 7+ miles during a work day, so it's not like it's my only movement during the week. Also, I play in a volleyball league Thursday nights. 2 matches of 3 games each, so 90 minutes of play. Thursdays after volleyball have been a gym day for me since I am already in workout clothes, sweating, and adrenaline pumping from my games. LOONNNGG story short, I am completely ignorant when it comes to working out. No idea what I should be doing, or if I am doing enough. The goal is weight loss. I am a touch under 6', and weigh 245. I topped out at 273 maybe 12-18 months ago, but have been slowly coming down just by simply eating less garbage, and cutting out like 80% of fast food. I get fast food maybe 2-3 times a month now instead of 2-3 times a week. I've also begun meal prepping a bit for work, instead of stopping at the food court in our building. Helps save money that way too, so that's a plus. So my routine has just been to run 2.5 miles on the elliptical for in 21 mins, (2) of 50 bicep curls, 50 sit-ups, 50 hip-twist...things (works on abs, it says), or 50 chest presses. Then I do the whole thing over again. So I end up running 5 miles in 42 mins (Tonight I did 5.5 miles in the same time, and even ran a 7 min mile, which is by far the quickest I've ever done), and 100 of (2) of those other types of machine workouts. I figure if I am running 5 miles, to not even bother working on my legs because 5 miles will do a number of my legs already, don't need to push them more. Is this good for how big I am? More? Less? Honestly have no idea what I'm doing, but I feel like cardio being the focus is probably the right direction. I'm 5'9, 180 lbs and I'm trying to lose a bit of weight, mainly in my stomach area. My metabolism started slowing down a couple years ago (I'm 26) and the weight started sticking after I stopped working retail (I'm an accountant now). I've been very inconsistent about going to the gym but last week, I started making a habit of going everyday. I run 4-5 miles on the treadmill every time I go. I've also been eating a lot better lately. Any advice is also appreciated here.

I think the system that had the best games on it was the GameCube personally. Have many great memories with friends playing that system.

Astros calling up Derek Fisher. Dude was hitting very well in the minors. Want(ed) him in a deal for Q as a third piece.

I would wait a year and a half before extending him. If they can't extend him by next July and he's still hitting this way, trade him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:56 PM) Avi could be hitting .390 on Sept. 1 and some people would be saying, "Wait until the end of the season" before they'd even consider locking him up, thinking an 0-for-40 would get that average back where it belongs. I nees at least a full season but ideally a season and a half about. If he doesn't sign before next year's deadline, deal him.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:56 PM) Did you read that article posted above? Yes and it did nothing to assure me he's a slam dunk to sign.

I could see his heart being in water polo along with building his stock in baseball at college. I'm at 50/50 that he signs.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:16 PM) Can we PLEASE bring back Omar Vizquel to work with Davidson/Delmonico/Tim Anderson? Moncada and Burger as well. God that would be amazing.

I was away from my tv but heard them talking vaguely. Did Stone mention that the Jays have interest in Holland? Not sure how their LFs are doing but Holland and Melky perhaps?

Montes de Oca still there?

Where was he originally expected to go? First round?

Looks like Skoug was projected to go in the first round originally but he started off slow. Really turned his season around though. Great pick.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) Based on what has been said about this draft (lack of star talent, decent depth) its not a bad strategy. Agreed. And then hope for a team to ignore Q's first few month and give us a significant piece for 2 back in a deal.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) Thanks. Please forgive me but these picks are pretty much rapid fire with no time in between right? 1 minute in between picks.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:41 AM) Agreed. The fact that both that and Spider-Man are Sony exclusives... I'm still shocked anyone buys an XBOX for a yearly Halo update. Basically all it's good for.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 11:04 AM) I don't think the Nationals will part with Robles or Fedde under pretty much any circumstances, Soto and/or Kieboom, Neuse, Luzardo, Marmolejos, etc. all could be in play if they are serious about getting any deal for impact relief help done. Sucks for them because their farm is far thinner than it was before the Eaton deal. The difference between the overpay of the Cubs and Indians when the Yankees dealt away their 2 prized relievers.

Robertson may end up being the cheapest available but I wouldn't expect significantly more than what was initially agreed upon.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) Apparently neither of you two have negotiated much in your life. It's not like they have to negotiate with one team. They have/will have other options. Herrera will be available, Colome may be available, Hand is available, and anyone else who is available we don't know about along with anyone else who will be available. They can trade for the lower priced reliever(s) and still improve their BP. It's not Robertson or bust. They can move on to another team if they don't like the price on Robertson.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) If you guys think other GMs aren't seeing this s*** and licking their chops, you are nuts. It is NOT a good look when your manager continues to beg the GM through the press to find him some bullpen help. I concede they can win this division even without a bullpen, but you're nuts if you think this isn't raising the price they will pay. And it isn't like they only need one arm...they need 3-4 arms. Rizzo has some work to do. Eh, probably be more guys available the longer they wait.
