They got Harper.
That's who I'm talking about. Will like finish with less than 4 WAR for $28MM.
Close to 4 WAR for $26MM, that's reasonable. The pitching is their down fall. They're giving up almost 5 runs a game as an NL team.

I don't know I just got in an argument with Divish in which he said there was no possibility of a team willing to pay Seager $30M over 3 years even though he has put up 2.7 WAR in 81 games this season. He is almost as bad as Churchill sometimes. Why those guys need to be surly pricks when someone questions them I will never understand.

I had a few arguments with Churchill on PI and basically he acted like Mel Kiper Jr. without the connections.

The worst people/biggest bitches/biggest posers in the Mariner community rank like this:

#3: Geoff Baker
#2: Jason Churchill
#1 biggest bitch: Dave Cameron

If he counted, weebs would weigh in at #3.

:lol: Yep he blocked me on Twitter. But as you guys know, I am completely unreasonable and horrible to communicate with on the internet so you are probably not surprised.

Same here. Of course you guys know I actually deserved it, but Cameron and Churchill do get their panties in a bunch over nothing.

One thing I'll give Churchill is that at least you can tell he actually played the game and understood at least some things beyond the stat sheet unlike Dave Cameron!

He's weebs with some clout. Once people started paying him any heed he acted like an authority and the dorkfest bought in.

He knows his stats, he just doesnt know baseball. Trying to say stats on paper in the past won't translate to the field for any reason beyond the paper didnt mean much to him.

He would have heaped on with these guys when I said at the beginning of the season that Mallex Smith wasnt the same player, saying he would "regress to the mean". Dork sandwiches, all of em.
