Lights Out Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 His RAR, oWAR, and Rrep have all been rapidly improving over the past few years, which proves that Bautista is becoming more and more of a true offensive threat each year. Also, a lot of his value stats have been mediocre-to-bad because he has spent the majority of his career on :censored:ty noncontenders like the O's and Pirates. The Jays at least have winning records pretty much every year even though they can't get past the Sox, Yanks, and Rays. Let's see what kind of value he adds next year before we pass judgement.Point is, regression to the mean will happen, but it probably won't be as devastating as bruschimania seems to think it will be. If he keeps his offensive and value numbers up over the next five years, that contract might not be looking so bad after all.No, Lights Out is right. Even Fangraphs says he's been worth 13 or more Replacement runs each of the last 6 years you little sabrematics cheerleader!!!!!!!!!!!! CONSISTENCY!Settle down, Joe Morgan.

nash61 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Jim Edmonds has officially announced his retirement.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

NEW.ERA Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Wonder if he'll garner any HoF consideration7 Homers short of 400, 4x All-Star, 8x Gold Glover. Plays don't make the HoF but he arguably had one of the best plays in Baseball history. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 If after 5 years or so, there comes up a year with no other good choices or first balloters, he could have a shot I think. He had a pretty good offensive career and was one of the greatest defensive centerfielders of all time. Has a pretty good resume, but it's not an iron-clad lock either. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Owing to his place in the Cardinal Family, Edmonds will get more than the typical 3.4% courtesy votes that every player of note gets, but no way he gets 75%. Still waiting on Alan Trammell's induction, by the way. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about the damn Hall of Fame here.You say not an iron-clad lock, but he's not even a sheet of aluminum foil. Dude doesn't have a chance in hell...and he shouldn't.

Shumway Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'm one of the biggest Edmonds fans on the planet, and I don't think he'll come close to the HOF. I'd obviously love it if he did, but he was a very good player, not an all-time great. I actually let out an audible 'f-bomb' at work upon reading about his retirement. I was really hoping to catch the Cards when they come to Philly this year. Looks like I need to find a new favorite player now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I need to find a new favorite player now.I hope you already got your tickets for that... because I'm fairly certain that those games are gone.As of the first day of public ticket sales, 3.3 million of the 3.6 million available seats have been sold. Season ticket packages have been sold out since before the Lee signing (now a list), and 15 games are completely sold out (including SRO). Sell-out streak will hit >200 this season.

Magnus Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Dunno if someone has posted this, but:No Labor Day Classic in OntarioSeriously. 81 home games vs. 9. Why can't the Jays just schedule some double-headers around Labour Day instead?Last resort: Couldn't they move it to BMO Field or something?
