I wonder where we will be at the end of the night in the standings. 6th?

 

I would think 7th. Awesome.

[Angrioter]

Carlitos Rodon Here we go

[ace3113]

Looks like we have 8 and 11 now.

 

1. Houston .331 - Carlos Rodon

2. Miami .378 - Trea Turner

3. Chicago W .409 - Tyler Beede

4. Chicago C .425 - Tyler Kolek

5. Los Angeles A .437 - Michael Cederoth

6. Milwaukee .438 - Alex Jackson

7. San Francisco .441 - Jacob Gatewood

8. Toronto .442 - Michael Gettys

9. San Diego .449 - Nick Gordon

10. Minnesota .449 - Jeff Hoffman

11. Toronto (Comp) - Touki Toussaint

[SAAviour]

Alright! Goins with 2 hits, lawrie with a home run, Redmond shows he is not an option for next year, and arencebia pads his home run resume...and we win 4-12!

[ace3113]

If we can continue to move up and we can't get Rodon I want either Cederoth or this guy. Check out the velocity bro!

Omfg if Gatewood AND Jackson get picked ahead of us I'll kill someone.

 

I would rather Hill at 8 at that point, but Toussaint or Morgan at 11 would be wieotwrtiphwtyes.

Selective rooting heaven.

Jackson would be bananas. 14hr this year as a high school junior. 6 for 9 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a triple at last years Area Code games. *91mph from home to second, 1.73pop time. Commence drooling.

I'm a little more bearish on Gatewood than I was before, and Morgan doesn't look like an early first-rounder at this point. Hill or Toussaint would be nice though.

This part is not good. JPA at 20 dingers now. AA's auto-extension bell in his head just went off.

[Jays]

20 homers from a catcher who's playing hurt is good production. No way is AA getting rid of Arencibia.

Gotta love Rodon, he's the best pitcher in the draft right now IMO, and he's a lefty! I think Kolek and Beede are the next best arms but, the draft is still a ways away. Looks like it could be fairly pitching heavy at the top, it could bode well for the teams picking ~6-10 looking to get a bat.

The teams picking at the top are Houston, Miami, and the Chicagos, and then teams like Milwaukee and LAA. I dunno how many of those guys take pitching. I think the Cubs will and the Brewers might, but some of those bats may not get to us, and we may be stuck taking another unsignable HS arm or something.

[SAAviour]

This is f***ing glorious! We won again 5-8. Pillar with a homer, Edwin homer.

 

I wonder what the tv audience is for these big victories?

[ace3113]

We're tied for 5th place! Tyler Kolek baby!

 

1. Houston .336 - Carlos Rodon

2. Miami .383 - Trea Turner

3. Chicago W .409 - Michael Cederoth

4. Chicago C .422 - Tyler Beede

5. Toronto .438 - Tyler Kolek

6. Milwaukee .438 - Alex Jackson

10. San Diego .453 - Nick Gordon

11. Toronto (Comp) - Derek Hill

Omfg, this is glorious.

[ace3113]

Omfg, this is glorious.

 

I know. We have a chance at Beede, Kolek, Jackson, Gatewood, Cederoth. It would almost make up for this horrible year (at least for me).

[GD]

We need an elite hitting prospect. Just give us Jackson, damnit.

[theblujay]

Omg top 5 this is great

[GD]

Is anyone else seriously salivating at the prospect of having a top catching prospect in our system? I long until the day we can have a catcher that actually contributes to the club.

I know it's almost unthinkable but if AA was smart he would go full-tank mode. Why go half way? Rodon is what this team needs right now, and won't cost millions plus term, or prospects. He would make an immediate impact and fill our biggest need (a top-of-the-rotation starter).

There just isn't enough time left in the season. Our lineup right now is enough to be considered full tank mode, tbh. Our pitching is enough to cancel out Lawrie and EE. It's just too late. We can hope Rodon slips, but honestly, at #5, I'm confident we're gonna get an impact prospect no matter what.

 

#1 Sanchez

#2 Draft pick

#3 Osuna

#4 Norris

#5 Davis

 

With guys like Barreto and Tellez and Brentz and Tirado, plus guys like Stroman and Jimenez and Nolin probably graduating. That's pretty damn nice.

All I want for the rest of the season is to see the young guys play (Pillar, Nolin, Gose, Stroman, Jimenez, Stilson), watch guys like Edwin, Lawrie, Bautista, etc. finish strong, and get a high pick and thus a larger bonus pool/better prospect.

[theblujay]

Kolek would be amazing

[Dylan]

Another win tonight!!! Go Blue Jays!

[Angrioter]

Top-5

f***ing yeah

[ace3113]

Check out this effortless throwing motion to 2nd base. PG record 91mph to 2nd with a 1.73 pop time! Major League average is 2.0.

Wil Myers 2,0

[8D]

top 5 is pretty exciting. i would't mind wang out there every night.

[SAAviour]

We should let dickey rest his shoulder and call up Rickey. Maybe we can trade Buerhle away before aug 31 as well, though I'm starting to think he might be a nice low rotation option next year. Let Reyes rest his legs for next year and see what goins has got. Keep throwing JP out there and we are golden.

Reminds me of my college days...oh wait.

[Convo]

You completely lost me at 'call up Rickey'.
