8 de Dezembro: a data mais macabra do rock! No dia 8 de dezembro há muito que se lamentar pelo que a música – e, dependendo do caso, o mundo – deixou de ter com o falecimento trágico de três nomes que, como diz Nikki Sixx, 'deixaram uma baita cicatriz na cara do rock'. No dia 8 de Dezembro de 1980, um psicótico estadunidense de nome Mark Chapman assassinava o inglês JOHN LENNON com 5 tiros (4 nas costas) ao lado de sua esposa, Yoko Ono, na frente de sua residência, o edifício Dakota, em Nova Iorque. Chapman era um fã dos BEATLES que vinha ficando desapontado com certas atitudes de Lennon e chegou a pedir um autógrafo para o músico hora antes do homicídio. Ele ainda permanece preso na Wende Correctional Facility. Em 1984, o baterista inglês RAZZLE, da banda finlandesa HANOI ROCKS – que influenciou toda a cena glam de Los Angeles e continua sendo referência em sonoridade e visual para o gênero hard rock até hoje – foi morto num acidente de carro em Hollywood. Nicholas Dingley (seu nome de batismo) havia saído de uma festa com várias outras pessoas, dentre elas alguns membros do MÖTLEY CRÜE, com o embriagado vocalista do grupo, VINCE NEIL, para comprar mais bebida. Os dois estavam dentro do Ford De Tomaso Pantera de Neil quando este se chocou contra um Fusca num cruzamento. Dingley chegou a ser levado para o hospital, mas foi declarado morto assim que chegou. O terceiro disco do Mötley Crüe, "Theatre Of Pain", é dedicado a ele. Vince cumpriu menos de um mês de cadeia por sua culpa no acidente. Em 2004, o guitarrista texano DARRELL LANCE ABBOTT, conhecido popularmente como "DIMEBAG DARRELL" estava se apresentando com o DAMAGEPLAN – seu primeiro projeto após a dissolução do PANTERA – em Columbus, Ohio, quando um corno de nome Nathan Gale subiu ao palco e disparou três vezes contra a cabeça de Abbott com uma pistola Beretta 9mm. O terceiro tirou matou Dime instantaneamente. Dois outros membros da equipe técnica também foram atingidos. Um cerco policial se efetuou rapidamente e um bravo oficial, James Niggemeyer, executou Gale com um único tiro de escopeta calibre 12. O meliante era psicótico e acusava o Pantera de ter roubado composições suas. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6ybAyuWNU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When Calls the Heart: Season 8 Triangle Analysis (With A Bookish Lens)

The In-Love Experience vs. Real Love

        In Gary Chapman’s book, The 5 Love Languages, he identifies how a romantic relationship can change after a couple gets married. Love is essential to any romantic relationship, but Chapman makes a distinction between two types of love a person might feel in a relationship. There’s the “in-love experience,” and then there’s real, true love (p. 36). Although Chapman illustrates how both of these types of love can be experienced in the same relationship, I think Elizabeth’s romantic relationships with Lucas and Nathan each embody one of these types of loves specifically; as a result, one relationship is truly the foil to the other.

 The In-Love Experience:

          In Chapman’s book, the in-love experience is described as “a temporary emotional high” (p. 41). It is idealistic, euphoric, and is separated from reality. Viewers witness all three of these aspects between Elizabeth and Lucas in their dates and interactions.

          On their picnic date in episode 6, there’s a clear example of how the idealism of the in-love experience affects Lucas and Elizabeth’s relationship. During the episode, Lucas says, “Well, since our first date did not go as planned, I thought I need to try to make it up to her.” As a reminder, Lucas and Elizabeth’s first date was moved to Elizabeth’s backyard to stay close to Little Jack because he was missing her. Still, their first date had no shortage of romance (objectively speaking) with candles, compliments, a nice meal, and both admitting to a sense of happiness. They were also able to dismiss reality and be in the moment when Lucas made mention of Gustave coming to pick up their dishes the next day.

         For all intents and purposes, their first date was ideal, but, according to Lucas’s own words, it was something that required a redo. It wasn’t perfect. Why not? The only thing that prevented it from “going as planned” was the intrusion of reality, i.e., accommodating Little Jack’s needs and moving the location of their date. Now, I’m not pointing this out to imply Lucas is anti-Little Jack, but to say Lucas and Elizabeth are more in pursuit of the “temporary emotional high” of the in-love experience, not real love. When people are in that state, they are happy and content to be caught up in the romance of love – and, subsequently, there is a disassociation from reality.  

          Another example of the in-love experience is in episode 8, when Lucas is accused by Christopher of being responsible for Henry’s health scare and Elizabeth goes to his office to comfort him. In that instance, Elizabeth offers to stay so they can talk, but instead of talking they prioritize the euphoric feeling of physical touch with close proximity and a kiss on the hand. Again, Elizabeth and Lucas deflect reality by not discussing their thoughts and sharing their concerns on a serious matter.

            Furthermore, in episode 9, when reality finally enters their relationship, they still manage to avoid in-depth conversation. In this episode, Lucas and Elizabeth discuss Nathan’s Fort Clay revelation and Elizabeth’s reaction to Nathan’s second profession of love. In each scenario, one of them is emotionally impacted. However, they only talk about what happened, they don’t process their feelings together. In fact, they both prefer to do so individually. A similar occurrence happens in episode 7, when Lucas quotes “Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not.” Again, Lucas and Elizabeth talk about discussing and sharing secret sorrows, but they never actually share their secret sorrows. Alternatively, the quote signifies the start to them showing a physical display of affection.

          Truly, in the height of their relationship, Lucas and Elizabeth value and pursue the euphoric feelings associated with romance. Now, the in-love experience isn’t bad, it just doesn’t last. Basically, its emphasis is on feelings. But that’s not real love. True love. So, what is the difference between the two?

 Real Love:

            In episode 2, a heavy dose of reality enters Elizabeth and Nathan’s relationship when Elizabeth tells Nathan, “You want more than I can give you. It would just hurt too much if I lost you the way I lost Jack.” Later, in the conversation, Nathan professes his love for Elizabeth – and, in response, she runs away. I’m recapping all of this to say that reality is actually an essential element in maturing a relationship into real love. Reality needs to be acknowledged, accepted and worked through for true love to ever be attained. This is why Chapman describes real love as “a love that unites reason and emotion… (it) requires effort and energy. It is intentional and it is a choice” (p. 41-42).

            In episode 9, Nathan’s intentionality is on full display when he talks to Elizabeth about why he didn’t tell her about Fort Clay and his connection to Jack sooner. During the conversation, Nathan says, “When I found myself…when I found myself falling in love with you, I felt like I was betraying Jack and his memory.” In this sentence, Nathan pauses before repeating himself and declaring his love for Elizabeth again – and I find this very telling. In this pause alone, Nathan is making a choice. He’s been here before and the memory of professing his love only to be met with rejection is very real and present in his mind. Yet Nathan willingly makes himself vulnerable to her again. He makes a choice to love her and make his love known to her – even being aware that rejection could be waiting on the other side.

           Nathan continues, “I fell in love with you, and I think love is always worth fighting for.” Again, Nathan’s words emulate the true meaning of real love by Chapman’s definition. The first part of this sentence shows his emotion, but the second part emphasizes his choice. Nathan is choosing to love Elizabeth through everything - in spite of the less-than-ideal circumstances, his hurt and rejection. He’s not giving up on her and this commitment “requires effort and energy” (p. 42).

           Additionally, in Chapman’s book, real love is also described as something that “involves an act of will and requires discipline, and it recognizes the need for personal growth” (p. 41). This is amazingly reflected in episode 6, when Nathan has his “I’m not giving up” speech with Carson, in reference to Elizabeth. This is the point in the season where Nathan decides to pursue real, true love with Elizabeth. This is a choice that can only be made in the aftermath of reality. As Chapman puts it, “true love cannot begin until the in-love experience has run its course” (p. 42). (Yes, Nathan and Elizabeth have their own in-love experience, but more on this later.) From this point moving forward, Nathan has the resolve not to give up on Elizabeth, the discipline to persevere despite all the obstacles and external factors that try to push them apart, and a recognition that for their relationship to truly succeed, he has to be more open and vulnerable with her so she can truly know him. Nathan literally checks every single box, proving that his love for Elizabeth has matured into something deeper than it was before.

         This insight into real love, references back to episode 1, when Lee profoundly says, “Love isn’t just a feeling or an emotion. It’s a choice.” I believe this truly is the theme for Nathan and Elizabeth’s relationship as we see Nathan pressing forward into real, true love. But the question arises, what about Elizabeth? Where does she emotionally stand, now and moving forward? To fully answer that question and understand the dynamics at play in Elizabeth and Nathan’s relationship, we have to start at the beginning of their relationship.

 Elizabeth’s Struggle to Accept Real Love

           As I mentioned earlier in this article, Chapman states the in-love experience and real love can generally occur in the same relationship – it’s just a matter of maturing from one to the other when reality enters the relationship. This means Nathan and Elizabeth had their own in-love experience when they were falling in love. And yes, they fell in love in season 6 and 7. It might look differently from Elizabeth and Lucas’s in-love experience, but they definitely did fall in love. With every sincere compliment, word of encouragement, gift from the heart, show of support, moment of vulnerability, and deep conversation – they have fallen in love. And no, they did not need a single date to do it.

          I’m insistent on this because of Elizabeth’s reaction when reality comes into their relationship. In season 7 episode 10, the town is on high alert when a Mountie has been shot and it’s immediately presumed that it was Nathan who was killed. Elizabeth is distraught until she sees Nathan walking towards her – and overcome with emotion, with love, she runs to him and embraces him. This is the moment when Elizabeth realizes she loves Nathan; this is also the moment when reality first pushes into their relationship and Elizabeth’s fear is first realized.

          Logically, Elizabeth knew that Nathan was a Mountie, but it had never hindered their relationship before now. Until this moment, her focus was on her feelings for Nathan, wanting to be near him, and wanting him to be in her life. But when reality presses in, things get personal. Suddenly, Elizabeth is aware that she could lose Nathan, just like she lost Jack, and then have to endure the pain, grief and heartbreak of losing someone she loves all over again.

          In answer to this, her solution is simple: avoid her feelings. In season 8 episode 1, Elizabeth admits to this in her journal entry in the beginning of the episode. However, the more present Nathan is in her life and the more intentional he is in pursuing a relationship with her, the more evident it becomes to her that she needs to distance herself from him entirely. That’s why in episode 2, Elizabeth doesn’t want to discuss her decision with Nathan or engage with him emotionally, even if she can’t deny feeling the same way he does. She really just wants to leave and not process her feelings more than she already has.

        From this point, Elizabeth makes a very interesting choice. She doesn’t press into real love, like Nathan decides to do. Instead, Elizabeth emotionally regresses; she seeks out the “temporary emotional high” of the in-love experience with another man, Lucas. Now, there are two reasons why I’m defining the in-love experience between Lucas and Elizabeth as a temporary romance and not them falling in love.

         Firstly, Elizabeth’s feelings for Nathan never change. In his book, Chapman is clear that reality enters every romantic relationship, but sometimes instead of doing “the hard work of learning to love each other without the euphoria” couples “fall out of love” leading them to “withdraw, separate, divorce, and set off in search of a new in-love experience” (p. 41-42). It’s true, Elizabeth and Nathan separate from each other in episode 2 and Elizabeth starts a “new in-love experience” with Lucas in episode 4, but Elizabeth never falls out of love with Nathan. In episode 9, when Nathan tells her he loves her again, Elizabeth doesn’t respond – she just leaves, like in episode 2. But the second time Nathan professes his love, things have most certainly changed. Elizabeth is in a relationship with Lucas; they’ve been on dates, picnics and have been holding hands. If her feelings for Nathan have changed and she was now in love with Lucas, this would have been the time to say so. Instead, Elizabeth flees from Nathan just like in episode 2, and the strongest emotion motivating Elizabeth to run away in that conversation was her fear. Fear to love Nathan. Fear to lose Nathan. And, even 7 episodes later, her feelings have not changed. This fact cannot be minimized and this information even displeases Lucas when Elizabeth recalls the event to him in the same episode. It’s very telling.

          Secondly, Elizabeth never truly confronts reality. At the end of episode 2, when Elizabeth flees from Nathan, she is obviously emotionally distressed and, at the very least, she needs to give herself time to process her feelings. However, Elizabeth decides to pursue a romantic relationship with Lucas a relatively short time after. The timing suggests Elizabeth never really processed her feelings for Nathan, her fears, and residual grief over losing Jack. Instead, it implies that Elizabeth’s relationship with Lucas is a band-aid solution to avoid her feelings for Nathan.

         Additionally, Elizabeth’s fight with Rosemary in episode 9 makes it clear these things were not properly addressed. In her fight with Rosemary, Elizabeth says, “I never asked him to be noble. I never asked him to fall in love with me.” Now, it’s true the Fort Clay revelation stirred up Elizabeth’s grief over losing Jack prematurely, but it’s evident that Elizabeth is taking Nathan’s words personally. She’s defensive and bitter. She tries to blame Rosemary for encouraging Nathan because she’s terrified of her own feelings and Nathan’s feelings for her. In this conversation, all of the issues Elizabeth has put on the back burner are suddenly pushed to forefront and because she never properly addressed her feelings, Elizabeth’s instinctive response is to lash out.

           Moving forward from this point, Elizabeth has to process her feelings, decide to accept real love and choose to love Nathan in return. It’s clear her solution isn’t working. She’s hurting herself and those around her – and things can’t keep going on like this. But this is When Calls the Heart. Eventually, Elizabeth will follow her heart, pursue real love and “be with the person she’s meant to be with.”

TR: Last Kiss (Taylor's Version)

[bananaofswifts]

The alternative committee will likely have a lively discussion about whether the album has more in common with alternative or pop.

Last week, we asked whether Taylor Swift’s new album Folklore would put her back in the album of the year finals at the Grammys for the first time since she won for 1989. Most of you seem to think it will.

Here’s a tougher follow-up question: Will the album compete for best pop vocal album, as Swift’s last three albums have, or best alternative music album? (Albums may compete in only one "genre album" category.) Unfortunately, we can’t just go by the charts: The album enters both the all-genre Billboard 200 and Alternative Albums at No. 1 this week.

The album has strong alternative credentials. Aaron Dessner, who co-produced the album with Swift and her long-time collaborator Jack Antonoff, and who co-wrote nine songs on the album with Swift, won a Grammy in the alternative category with his band, The National, for Sleep Well Beast. The National were also nominated in that category for their previous album, Trouble Will Find Me.

And Justin Vernon, who co-wrote “Exile,” which features his band Bon Iver, won a Grammy in the alternative field for Bon Iver. Bon Iver was also nominated in that category with its next two albums, 22, A Million and I,I.

Antonoff’s history at the Grammys has mostly been in the pop field. Some Nights, his breakthrough album with the trio fun., was nominated for best pop vocal album. Swift’s 1989 (his first album with the star) won in that category. Her next two albums, Reputation and Lover, were nominated there, as were P!nk’s Beautiful Trauma and Sia’s This Is Acting, on which he also worked. Lorde’s Melodrama and Lana Del Rey’s Norman F***ing Rockwell! both competed in the pop album category—though neither wound up with a nomination. (Both albums were nominated for album of the year.) One of Antonoff’s Grammy-nominated projects -- St. Vincent’s Masseduction -- was nominated for best alternative music album.

The alternative committee will likely have a lively discussion about whether Folklore has more in common with alternative or pop. A lot is at stake. If Swift is nominated, she would have an excellent chance of winning.

Swift would be just the third female solo artist to win best alternative music album, following Sinéad O'Connor, the first winner in the category for 1990’s I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, and St. Vincent, for St. Vincent (2014).

Moreover, Swift would become the first artist to win for both best pop vocal album (which she did for 1989) and best alternative music album. She is already the only artist to date to win for both best pop vocal album and best country album (which she did for Fearless).

If Folklore is classified as pop, and wins, Swift would become just the third artist to win twice in that category, following Kelly Clarkson and Adele.

How do the Grammys define the two categories? The Grammy guide (which is now online) doesn’t tell us much about best pop vocal album: “This category recognizes artistic excellence in pop vocal albums.” (Told you not to expect too much!)

But the guide has a detailed and interesting explanation of what it considers alternative music to be: “Alternative music may be defined as a genre of music that embraces attributes of progression and innovation in both the music and attitudes associated with it. It is often a less intense version of rock or a more intense version of pop and is typically regarded as more original, eclectic, or musically challenging. It may embrace a variety of sub-genres or any hybrids thereof and may include recordings that do not fit into other genre categories.”

Folklore has also been tagged “indie folk” and “electro-folk” by some critics. The Grammys no longer have a contemporary folk category, which they presented from 1986-2010, but they do have best folk album. Here’s what the Grammy guide says about that category: “This category recognizes excellence in folk recordings in modern and/or traditional vocal and instrumental styles, as well as original material by artists who utilize traditional and/or modern folk elements, sounds and instrumental techniques as the basis for their recordings. Folk music is primarily but not exclusively acoustic, with production and sensibility distinctly different from a pop approach.”

Swift is not listed on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, which is topped by The Chicks’ Gaslighter (which the in-demand Antonoff also co-produced). For the record, the Grammys don't take their cues from the charts, but there's usually a correlation between where albums are charted and where they are categorized in the Grammy process.

We’ll leave you with two random Grammy facts about Swift.

Folklore has fewer producers (just three) than any Swift album since her first three albums, which each had just two producers. Nathan Chapman co-produced her debut album with Robert Ellis Orrall. Swift and Chapman co-produced her next two albums.

Bon Iver’s “Holocene” (2011) received Grammy nominations for both record and song of the year. fun.’s “We Are Young” (featuring Janelle Monáe) was nominated in both categories the following year. (It won song.) Swift has achieved that double-play three times, for “You Belong With Me” (2009),“Shake It Off” (2014) and “Blank Space” (2015).

QUIEN FUE JACK EL DESTRIPADOR ?

...

Entre el 31 de agosto y el 9 de noviembre de 1888 cinco mujeres fueron asesinadas en el barrio londinense de Whitechapell, en el East End. La forma terrible en que encontraron su final —sus gargantas y sus vientres habían sido abiertos— y su relación con el mundo de la prostitución provocaron las más diversas especulaciones desde el principio. A más de un siglo de distancia muchos siguen formulándose una pregunta: ¿quién fue Jack el Destripador?

El 31 de agosto de 1888 una infortunada de nombre Mary Ann Nichols encontraba una muerte horrenda a manos de un asesino que permanecería en el anonimato durante décadas. A su trágico destino se sumarían los asesinatos de Annie Chapman el 8 de septiembre; Elizabeth Stride y Catherine Eddowes, ambas el 30 de septiembre y Mary Jane (Marie) Kelly el 9 de noviembre.

Sólo tras este último crimen, el asesino dejó de matar anunciándolo además en una nota que petulantemente hizo llegar a manos de la policía.

Todas las víctimas tenían características comunes. Ejercían la prostitución, fueron asesinadas mediante un corte profundo de izquierda a derecha en la garganta y padecieron su cruel suerte de noche y en la calle. Por añadidura, cuatro se conocían entre sí y cuatro fueron también las destripadas. Estas circunstancias llevaron a muchos a pensar en un asesinato de características sexuales, es decir, a atribuir su comisión a un psicópata sexual. En apariencia, se habría tratado de un enfermo que habría manifestado su aversión al sexo femenino asesinando a prostitutas y que, dada la facilidad con que había escapado de la persecución policial, quizá pertenecía a un estrato social elevado, lo que podía extenderse incluso a personas cercanas a la Casa Real británica.

La realidad fue mucho menos prosaica y no sería desvelada hasta las dos últimas décadas del siglo pasado. Las claves para desvelar el terrible secreto fueron el testimonio de un hijo del pintor Walter Sickert y la exhumación de documentos hasta entonces inéditos en Scotland Yard y el Ministerio del Interior que no pudieron ser publicados hasta 1992 y 1993. ¿Qué aportaban de nuevo estos datos? En primer lugar, confirmaban un rumor que había circulado durante décadas, el que apuntaba al hecho de que el príncipe Alberto Víctor, duque de Clarence, hijo del entonces príncipe de Gales —que luego sería Eduardo VII— y de la reina Victoria había sido amante de una católica llamada Annie Elizabeth con la que había contraído matrimonio en secreto y de la que tuvo una hija llamada Alice Margaret. En una época en que la monarquía victoriana sufría un acoso considerable de republicanos y socialistas, y no pasaba por sus momentos de mayor popularidad, se temía que aquel matrimonio sacudiera hasta sus cimientos la estabilidad de la institución dinástica. Resultaba por tanto imperativo acabar con él y asimismo con los testigos que pudieran tener noticia del mismo.

Cuando la reina Victoria supo lo acontecido convocó, al borde de la histeria, al primer ministro, el marqués de Salisbury, y le exigió que solucionara el enredo. Salisbury ordenó a la policía metropolitana que procediera al secuestro del joven matrimonio y así en 1888 en el curso de una redada policial, Annie Elizabeth fue detenida y quizás hubiera sucedido lo mismo con la niña de no ser porque Marie Kelly, que había sido testigo de la boda y aún no se dedicaba a la prostitución, la tomó a su cuidado y corrió a refugiarse con ella en el East End. El duque de Clarence no volvió a reunirse con Annie Elizabet y murió en extrañas circunstancias en 1892. Por su parte, su infeliz esposa fue declarada loca y trasladada de manicomio en manicomio hasta que murió en 1920.

A pesar de todo, el secreto podía ser descubierto en cualquier momento. De hecho, Marie Kelly comenzó en 1888 a ejercer la prostitución como forma de escapar de la miseria. Si se hubiera mantenido callada posiblemente no le hubiera sucedido nada, pero tuvo la extravagante ocurrencia de contar el secreto a algunas compañeras y de idear un chantaje contra la familia real exigiendo dinero a cambio de no pasar la información a la prensa Sensacionalista. Salisbury, masón de alto rango, decidió acudir a uno de sus compañeros de secta. Fue así como se puso en contacto con el doctor William Gull, médico de la reina y masón que ya había practicado algunos abortos para evitar problemas a la Casa Real. Con la ayuda de otro masón, Robert Anderson, el segundo jefe de la policía metropolitana, Gull consiguió los datos que necesitaba sobre las prostitutas que conocían el terrible secreto. Así, un equipo formado por cinco hombres perpetró los asesinatos de las chantajistas.

Tan sólo Catherine Eldowes no tenía nada que ver con la extorsión, pero era amiga íntima de Marie Kelly y ocasionalmente utilizaba incluso su nombre. Esa circunstancia le costó la vida, ya que el equipo asesino la equivocó con su objetivo.

Finalmente, con el asesinato de Marie Kelly el colectivo «Jack el Destripador» alcanzó su último objetivo y se disolvió.

Para entonces había causado cinco asesinatos siguiendo un ritual pulcramente masónico que incluía el degollamiento propio del juramento del aprendiz y el destripamiento relacionado con la iniciación en el grado de maestro. Ambos actos pretenden castigar en la masonería la revelación de secretos.

Sólo la hija del duque de Clarence lograría escapar. El pintor Sickert, amigo de su padre y testigo también del matrimonio secreto, la recogería, le daría una educación y, tras convertirla en su amante, se casaría con ella. El hijo de este matrimonio acabaría siendo a finales del siglo XX uno de los peldaños para ascender hasta el secreto oculto tras aquellos terribles crímenes.

COMENTARIO BIBLIOGRÁFICO

La figura de Jack el destripador ha dado origen a una profusa producción literaria, histórica y cinematográfica. Como resulta fácil suponer, no todos los títulos destacan por su solidez. Con todo, puede indicarse que algunos de ellos tienen una notable calidad. Verdaderas enciclopedias son los libros de Maxim Jakubowski y Nathan Braund, The Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper, 1999 (reúne varios ensayos sobre la identidad de Jack), Paul Begg, Martin Fido y Keith Skinner, jack the Ripper A to Z, 1994, y las dos obras de Stewart P. Evans y Keith Skinner, The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Companion, 2000 (muy interesante por las fuentes que reúne), y The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Sourcebook: An Illustrated Enciclopedia, 2001 (excelente material gráfico).

Entre las biografías destacan las de Patricia Cornwell, Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper — Case Closed, 2002 (identifica al asesino con Walter Sickert), y Philip Sudgen, The Complete History of Jack the Ripper, 2002 (notable en el examen de las fuentes aunque no tanto en las conclusiones). Paul Gainey y Stewart Evans publicaron en 1998 Jack the Ripper:

First American Serial Killer. En la obra se identifica al médico norteamericano Tumblety con Jack. La tesis es ciertamente muy discutible y, a nuestro juicio, errónea pero está magníficamente defendida.

Free Agent Projections

It has been a minute! I apologize to anyone that reads this blog if I have been off the grid for a bit. Managing grad school with work has filled my schedule. Based on the Twitter poll I ran, I gave people the option, either I complain about Mike Trout getting snubbed for yet another MVP or provide my big ticket free agent projections. The latter won out 80% to 20%. I guess people don’t like hearing me complain. Come on, guys! I’m a White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Illini, and Northwestern fan. Northwestern and the Bears keep me sane right now, but I need to have an outlet some time! I digress. Without further ado, here are my 2018-2019 free agent projections. Unfortunately, Peter Bourjos signed with the Angels already, so I apologize if I wasn’t able to pick that one. I know people were waiting on it.

Josh Donaldson – Cardinals

He has long been connected to the St. Louis Cardinals. I’m going out on no limb here, so I’m going to say he fills that need for the Birds. They need a third baseman. This is a perfect fit for him. Also, they might be able to get somewhat of a bargain for him because he had some shoulder problems last season. If that continues, I don’t know if he’ll be able to bump Matt Carpenter at 1B for the upcoming season.

Patrick Corbin – Yankees

He has already been connected to them. He’s good. The Yankees always spend money. He’s going to end up in their rotation and become a watered down Andy Pettitte.

Andrew McCutchen – Braves

Cutch fits that Braves OF. Nick Markakis is gone. Cutch will play RF. It’s really simple.

Nick Markakis – Angels

The Los Angeles Angels are a nice mediocre team. Here’s a guy they can sign. That’s it. The Angels are the Mets of the AL. They're going to let Ohtani and Trout waste another season.

Charlie Morton - Astros

The Astros need pitching depth. He reformed his career in Houston. This is a perfect match for at least one more season.

Brian McCann - Braves

Reunited and it feels so good. He can platoon with Flowers.

Nelson Cruz – Cardinals

Jose Martinez might get traded. I don’t see him producing at a higher level than last season. He’s also old. However, so is Cruz. The only difference is you can sign Nelson to a short-term deal and hope he produces the way he has been. Just remember, he can still crush. Maybe you can bury him in the outfield somewhere because the NL hasn’t adapted to the 21st century yet.

Daniel Murphy – Dodgers

I have the inclination that the Dodgers will try to trade Brian Dozier. He was AWFUL for them in the second half. He might return a prospect or two, but the Dodgers will then have the ability to free up cap space for this jackass.

Zach Britton – Yankees

The Yanks already have a stacked bullpen, but they also like spending money. Britton is less volatile than Chapman, and Robertson has a shot at returning. I can still see the Yanks spending the money to get Britton back.

Wilson Ramos – Mets

The Mets are the worst run organization in the MLB. They have insane talent on the pitching side, but they also have an awful training staff. What’s a way to fix that and potentially make your team win 77 games next season? Sign a good hitting catcher. Keep Syndergaard and deGrom and maintain your mediocrity.

Yasmani Grandal – Astros

The Astros are losing two hurlers for the 2019 season to free agency and one to injury: Charlie Morton, Dallas Keuchel, and Lance McCullers (RIP). They need a backstop that can manage their pitching staff. They still have Verlander and Cole to headline what was a stacked rotation, but they will need a catcher. Stassi could back him up. Grandal is the best catcher in baseball currently and consistently the best pitch-framer. This is a perfect spot for him because the Astros have an excellent analytics department. I see them also trading some young talent to fill out their rotation (maybe for James Paxton, we’ll see).

Jed Lowrie – Rockies

They free up 2B with LeMahieu leaving, so why not bring in a solid 2B option. He just had a great season with the A’s. I think he fits the Rox perfectly.

D.J. LeMahieu – Cubs

Zobrist is a free agent after 2019. LeMahieu has been with the Cubs before. Reunion? I think yes. This also makes sense if the Cubs move an outfielder or two (i.e. Happ and Schwarber) for some controllable starting pitcher. Since they’re not going to spend like crazy, I can see this move happening.

A.J. Pollock – Astros

Marwin Gonzalez is gone. Pollock can play LF while Springer is in CF. This just makes sense.

Craig Kimbrel – Braves

The Braves are willing to spend. Kimbrel will return to them because he’s good. That is all.

J.A. Happ – Brewers

The Brewers need to shore up that pitching staff because we all know they will not perform like they did this season. Happ is older, but he’s still a solid arm and a perfect fit for a smaller market team that wants to win now.

Cody Allen - Phillies

They need a closer. Allen had a down year in 2018, and the Tribe has Brad Hand. The Phils can take advantage of his market.

Adam Jones - Mets

The Mets are a team I could see signing Jonesy. His sub-.315 didn't do him any favors for free agency, and the Mets need to win those 77 games!

David Robertson – Red Sox

What other way to stick it in the eye of the Yanks than signing one of their former pitchers? Robertson has a history as a closer with the White Sahx. I think he can return to that role with the Red Sawx. He also said he wants to be closer to his home in Rhode Island. This is a change of scenery and right next to Rhode Island (shrug).

Adam Ottavino – Rockies

They want to win. They want their closer. Ottavino was a stud last year. They’ll have to pay him but he’s worth it.

Gio Gonzalez – Cubs

Gio has already been on a Chicago affiliate before, so why not the Cubs? He is a step behind Corbin or Keuchel, so since the Cubs may not want to offer fat money to all of the top guys, Gio’s the next best thing. He also helps fill that rotation out, which was pretty rough last season.

Michael Brantley – Rockies

The Rockies have to improve in some manner. Why not finish your career in a hitter’s ballpark?

Nathan Eovaldi – Red Sox

He pitched well and won a World Series on him. He’s going to get a hefty paycheck because he’s younger than Corbin or Keuchel. Then, he’ll flop. I originally wanted the Sox to get him, but since there are so many teams bargaining for him, I say lay off.

Marwin Gonzalez - A's

They need to sign someone. This is their guy!

Bryce Harper – Phillies

I’ve been saying Bryce to the Phillies since last year, and I will stand by it. In fact, the Phils front office said they’re willing to spend recklessly this offseason. Well, Harper’s going to get paid. It won’t be from the Yankees, Cubs, or Dodgers. It will be the Phillies, who had amongst the worst hitting rosters in the league last year. They do have cap space.

Dallas Keuchel – White Sox

As I said, the White Sox are willing to hopefully spend money. Why not spend it on one of the best pitching arms in the free agent market? Keuchel had a down year by his standards, but that makes him a perfect candidate for pitching coach Don Cooper.

Manny Machado – White Sox

Manny has that south side attitude. Who cares if he sometimes doesn’t run to first or is kind of a dirty player. Did people forget this team had A.J. Pierzynski as their catcher for years? Stop this nonsense. Manny is an incredibly talented player. The White Sox could use a superstar for the first time since Frank Thomas. This is their guy. They’ve been connected to him for a while. Reel in that big fish, Rick Hahn!

The majority of players will go to the competing teams or teams ready to compete. The Winter Meetings are in a few weeks, and this is the hot stove time. I hope the Sox sign Harper, but I think all fans would be satisfied if they got Keuchel and Manny, instead. Go Sox! Jerry needs to spend that $$$.
