Come on. Haven't you heard of Tyler Skaggs?
excel and fung derf, good to read so much high quality September/October caliber slagging before the season even begins! Gonna' be a contentious 6 months!
Gentlemen, as a long-suffering Brewers fan, I reserve the right to claim the title of "victim"...unless there are some Padres fans out there....
SINO
Picked up some $2.63's in the IRA. This is an easy one to sit on in a turbulent market.
His numbers were fine....but I'll take Carlos' 2016 numbers over Curtis', lol.
Looking at Ellsbury/Granderson, Ellsbury had a better WAR (though it was close) and more SBs.... His average was 30 points higher than Grandy and the RBI totals were a wash. Yeah, Grandy thumps more long balls, but he's devolving into an all or nothing hitter, out whiffing Ellsbury by better than double.
It's a fair comparison. We'll see how the season goes.
That's what you said about Beltran last year!!
It'll be interesting to see you has the better year: Ellsbury or Granderson.
then I see this Chapter 11 filing as a blessing
Looks like you're gonna be blessed with about 100 million new shares too....

What was the lease obligation? Hard to believe they'd declare chapter 11 just to save a bit on a lease... Guess we'll find out soon enough what "protecting shareholder value" means. Is it only the whales or will the minnows be protected too? A great play if you like action. GLTY
Rough SAEX.
Yet another weak q when the sector's tearing it up. Sold my $4.90's at 5.65ish. Made some $$ here but also paid a bit (this cleared $6 last week) for another reminder about the wisdom of holding through earnings.....
SAEX to announce Q4 earnings on March 15.

This low floater has been really lickin' the bowl lately...now at another low for the year and under $5 a share.
From the Nov CC: While we expect similar activity levels in the fourth quarter of 2016 to what we experienced in the fourth quarter of last year, we are optimistic that SAE has entered its trough and activity should begin to improve in 2017.
I bought a few under $5. Terrible company in an improving sector. If the news on March 15 shows light at the end of the tunnel instead of another train....
Spiced up a starter position today. 30k shares at .37 Been waiting for that bid to hit for weeks.
On the other hand, remember how kindly the original Boss (hog) treated Dave Winfield? Lol. "Mr May"
She'll design the uniforms for sure.
IMO warrants are dead here. The picture really changed last fall when KTOV bought into their new drug candidate- all the sudden instead of a cashed-up company with successful phase 3 results looking at an NDA and FDA approval in 2017, they became a company that will need serious cheese to fund a new drug candidate.
Then pile on this latest news about the criminal investigation, which really sucks. Even if the company can escape any legal penalty for wrong-doing, if their clinical process is questionable, you can forget about FDA approval based on current results. This pushes the time-frame for KIT-302 even further out, which really chisels away at the value of warrants.
And credibility? This had been one of the company's strong points moving ahead- the line-up of seasoned industry and FDA-experienced pros who knew how to get an NDA over the line. That's all up in smoke now IMO. Reputation is everything: whether officials in the company acted criminally or not, the damage has been done.
It's a long way from Houston to Boston...easy for stuff to fall off the back of a truck.
And if you read the Pats dude's lips he clearly called Tails.
It ain't about him. All those gawkers are out to see Jeter's wife!

Looking for a robust 2017 here.
Well deserved! Congrats Sheff. Keep up the good work please.
Til Cespedes tweaks a hammy.
Cry me a river.... Sheesh, you Red Sox fans are just gloating now. Tragedy you don't have Posey behind the dish and Donaldson at 3rd....poor suffering bastards...
It's a great time to be a FA in baseball! Cecil for 30 million and now Fowler for 80-90. Wow. Even in friendly Coors field for 5 years, the best Fowler could muster is 10-12 dongs and 50ish rbi's.....The Cubs, the situation in Chicago, made this guy. A 2017 season of .260 with 14 homers, 16 SBs, 52 RBIs and 2.9 WAR is going have Cards fans dreaming of Holliday.
That said, I'd certainly take Fowler and the Cards deal over Heyward and the deal the Cubs gave him last year.
Wow, as a Brewers fan, if the worst quality you can see in your team is "mixed feelings about Mitch Moreland at 1st", you're looking pretty damn good heading into spring training.
The Red Sox absolutely killed it last year. With their off-season adds, it's a shame they even have to play the 162 game regular season....should just trot 'em out there in late October vs the Cubs and be done with it! Dombo sure knows how to make a deal....and still well under the cap.
God forbid the Yanks open the wallet. Can't believe they're not going sign Rich hill, 4 years 82 mill.
This outfit couldn't even hawk Amiket after announcing to the world that is was for sale to the lowest bidder. Management here sucks, plain and simple.
Too bad none of those guys can pitch! Sure, the Core 5 might win 103 regular season games, but as the Red Sox can testify, October can be a really short month.
I was living in Chicago going to old Comiskey regularly when (the story goes) Reinsdorf asked the Big Skirt which player he would prefer to join him and lead the team to glory, Belle or Bonds. The rest is history.
HTBX
Sold 1/2 at $3, dumped the other half at $1.26 post market. All up, a 66% gain, so no complaints. The CPXX factor weighed heavily....making it easy to hold for the mythical massive payday.
Markets have been scorching lately, though the IBB and XBI have been giving it back. With a likely rate increase in Dec and the weird trump euphoria bound to give way, I'm 75% cash.
Still holding KTOVW and TROV
Watching EGLT like a hawk!
HTBX Full slaughter-mode following crap results.
Holding HTBX into data release tomorrow. From the abstract:
Results: Vesigenurtacel-L treatment was well tolerated with no vaccine-related SAEs; primary AEs were mild, most commonly transient injection site reactions. AE profiles (number and severity of AEs) were similar across the treatment arms indicating that vesigenurtacel-L does not significantly alter the known safety profile of BCG. Composite RFS across all arms (prior to the unblinding event at 1-year) was 84.6%, with a 6-month complete response rate in CIS patients of 87.5%. Vesigenurtacel-L antigen expression showed prominent overlap with patient tumors. Additionally, IHC may define a responder and non-responder phenotype by baseline levels of TIL and PD-L1.
Conclusions: The combination of vesigenurtacel-L and BCG is well-tolerated with preliminary evidence of synergistic effect and immunologic responses that are consistent with vaccine mechanism of action. Vesigenurtacel-L warrants further investigation as a potential treatment for NMIBC.
I'm thinking a 50-50 split between Madoff and Bobby Bo!
If I had a vote: Vlad solo.
Can't believe that Verlander was only the #2 pick of 2 voters. It was always gonna be tight, but that's a weird one....
SYN
opened a position in SYN in the mid .80's after the massive sell-off on this offering news:

Who wants Braunie? The Crew did an excellent job of managing his playing time in 2016 to maximize his #'s. A handful of prospects and a chubby wallet should get the job done.
America needs someone who will unleash capitalism and let the free market bring prosperity back to this great country.
Do the initials G F C ring a bell?
Yup.
Do you feel safer?
Thanks for that. Made for some interesting reading. Insight like this, however really points out how far-fetched the criticism of Francona as a tactician in the Series is:
Naquin is a poor center fielder who had a mess of a Game 6, but he does have a stronger arm than Davis, and who knows, maybe he makes the right read on that Contreras drive. The choice between those two players was a close one, and Francona shouldn’t come in for criticism for choosing Davis. Still, it might have cost him in the fourth inning. So what I'm hearing is that Naquin sucks but maybe in this instance, he wouldn't suck. Okay...and maybe he goes 5-5 with 11 RBIs too.
It's an easy call for me: a manager's job is to put his players and his team in the best position to win. Francona was a master, especially with his pitchers who were all lined up in game 7. To have made it this far with one bona-fide starter, a guy whose pitch count was deliberately kept down with game 7 in mind, was as good a shot as the Indians could have hoped for. Unfortunately, the players didn't perform as they had, or as was expected.
Maddon on the other hand, consistently put his players in situations built for failure. And the Cubs should never have been a single pitch away from losing game 7: that's what Maddon's tactics made possible. It's not that hard to analyze IMO.
Miggy Montero telling it like it is:
http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/17973532/chicago-cubs-catcher-miguel-montero-critical-manager-joe-maddon-role-team-postseason
I can't believe how little has been written about Maddon's managerial ineptitude in the series. Honestly, if you were trying to throw a game, a study of the pitching decisions that Maddon trotted out in games 5, 6 and 7 would be the winning template. From yanking Hendricks and bringing in Lester early, burning out Chapman in a 9-3 romp...even putting Chapman out there for the bottom of the 9th in game 7....I know the trophy hides a lot of warts, but that doesn't mean they're not there.
