Howard was clearly a future example of the Tabe Fat Guy Theorem which states that fat guys fall off the cliff, they don't decline. Howard's decline was hastened by the awful achilles injury but it was going to happen regardless. Harper doesn't fit that profile. That said, the problem with Harper is that he's simply not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contentious C Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I wouldn't go so far as to call a brother fat. I mean, he definitely had to play first base. What's the brother gonna do? He's Samoan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 as a san diego resident who is not a padres fan, whose brother IS a padres fan, and who has been strident among friends in my desire for the Phils to sign Machado, this is basically my nightmare.

RIPPA Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 This was on Primer - I am gonna assume the numbers are correct The Padres have invested $528 million in Wil Myers (through 2022), Eric Hosmer (through 2025) and Manny Machado (through 2028). Dodgers guaranteed money beyond 2022: $8 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe after Machado opts out in five years. I'm kind of surprised the Padres haven't been in on Dallas Keuchel. He's a ground ball pitcher and was 21st in HR to flyball ratio pitching his home games in hitter friendly Minute Maid Park (It will always be Enron to me). That ratio would surely go down in pitcher friendly Petco Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Keuchel has a very specific list of teams he will play for Now San Diego might be on the list but I know that is part of the reason he hasn't signed yet - there are only like 4 teams he wants to play for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 San Diego will go for the billion dollar bats and Dollar General arms because that always equals success. Well it somewhat did for the 1993 Jays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Also Ervin Santana signed with the White Sox on a minor league deal but it is basically a minor league deal in name only. He will get $4.3 million if he makes the roster which is a really high number on those sorts of deals which means they wanted to keep him away from other clubs but didn't have a space for him on the 40 man... yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
