During the day I have 2 go-to channels. MLBN and Food Network. Obviously can't stand Russo and I have a very unwarranted, but all to real hatred for The Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond. So the noon hour usually leaves me scrambling for something else.rodg12 said:

No truth to the rumor that he sprained both index fingers trying to make the squinted eyes slur
I was able to watch the NLDS series between the Cubs and Washington while at work. Most of the women in the office had no interest in the games, but every one of them commented on how beautiful they thought Bryce Harper's hair was, how thick and luxurious.

Think the Rays QO to Cobb was either 18 or 20M? Starting to think he should’ve taken that one too.
Something needs to change for sure. Teams are more reluctant than ever to give up draft picks and its costing the FA with picks attached a lot of money.
But it really didn't work out well for Hellickson in the end. He got paid last year but his performance regressed from 2016. He's back on the market now and hasn't signed yet in spite of no compensation requirements.
If this is truly the end of the road for him, you're right. Let this be a lesson to all the crappy pitchers out there. Always take the years.
No as a matter of fact it was recently changed. Used to be a first round pick now I think it's a second and fifth or something like that.
The current qualifying offer based system is better than than the old type A/B rating system.
2.26 ERA in his last 14 starts of the 2017 season. 0.80 in 2 starts in the playoffs.
I just don't understand why they signed him at 25m per? Were they negotiating by themselves?
Given his mechanics he's risky. But if he stays healthy and finds his groove then he is a domiinant number two and capable lead horse.
His 4.75 XFIP, falling K/9 rate, and high walk rate might have something to do with it. He was gross last year, Steamer is projecting a FIP of 5 this year. lolololololDaywalker said:
It'll be his second year back after TJ surgery. Lynn, Berrios, Santana, Odorizzi plus somebody is a decent rotation and certainly a big improvement over last year's playoff staff.
Like Eephus said, higher AAV, fewer years. More flexibility. Not like the Phillies can't spare the money.
The point though is that he had a 14.2% HR/FB ratio last year. People are shocked that the Dodgers or D'Backs weren't in the hunt for Lynn, but he was quite terrible last year. Maybe Lynn returns the mid 3s WAR guy he was, but he's probably just as likely to be the 1.4 WAR guy he was last year.
I’ve never considered the word steamer a compliment and those projections are appropriately named
