Super hot, but a Trump supporter, I can't f*** anyone that stupid.

 

Consider it a challenge, or experiment to see if can actually f*** brains into someone, rather than out.

 

I think we should commission a study.

I believing metafour is using 'Trump supporter' and 'conservative' interchangeably and calling you a moron for not looking for one.

 

I provided Terminator with a dating site for Trump supporters a few days ago. Maybe he can let you know if he thinks it's been a valuable resource.

Sorry to get off topic but..

 

 

Orelvis Martinez, Dominican Republic

Size: 5-11, 181, R-R

Trainer: Rudy Santin

60 yards: 6.98 seconds

Games: 0-for-4, 2 BB

 

Martinez is expected to receive the highest bonus of any international player when the 2018-19 signing period opens on July 2, likely pushing past $3 million with the Blue Jays the favorites. He has fast hands and a calm, easy swing that generates power and loft from right-center over to his pull side.

 

Martinez should get a chance to begin his career as a shortstop, but he projects as more of a strong, physical player than an athletic shortstop, with a skill set that would fit well at third base. The Blue Jays are linked to Martinez.

Blue jays should have enough players now to add a second DSL team like they did 15 years ago or longer.

Trump supporter and conservative are not the same thing.

Teoscar Hernandez Leads Up-And-Coming Outfielders

Blue Jays Organization Report

 

March 02, 2018 By Shi Davidi

 

The Blue Jays suddenly find themselves with an enviable stockpile of outfielders at the upper levels, and as the spring progresses they must figure out how to get each one of them sufficient playing time this season.

 

Barring a big league need, Teoscar Hernandez, Anthony Alford and Dalton Pompey appear to be 1-2-3 on the organization's depth chart and positioned to get the bulk of the work at Triple-A Buffalo.

 

But Dwight Smith Jr. debuted in the big leagues last year and shouldn't be overlooked, speedy Roemon Fields was Buffalo's team MVP in 2017 and Jonathan Davis has put himself on the Blue Jays’ radar.

 

The Bisons, obviously, can't accommodate them all, so unless someone gets injured or the Blue Jays make a move, Double-A New Hampshire will be needed to resolve the logjam.

 

“If we're 100 percent healthy, our challenge is also somewhat complicated by (catching prospects) Reese McGuire and Danny Jansen and how we're using DH at-bats (at Buffalo)," general manager Ross Atkins said. “All those guys need to play on a regular basis, and as long as we have regular playing time, they're all worthy of being in Triple-A.

 

“The likelihood is we'll have to use Double-A, as well, if we're completely healthy."

 

Hernandez, the principal return from the Astros last July for Francisco Liriano, impressed during a September stint with the Blue Jays in which he hit eight home runs in 26 games. But he also struck out 38 percent of the time.

 

“Plate discipline is the key hitting challenge," Atkins said. “He's looked great early on."

 

For now, Hernandez has the jump on both Alford, whose big league debut last year was truncated by a broken hamate bone, and Pompey, who missed nearly the entire year with a concussion and knee troubles.

Has it been reported where Vlad and Bo will start the season? Has to be AA, right?

[Mikeleelop]

Has it been reported where Vlad and Bo will start the season? Has to be AA, right?

 

may start in dunedin so they stay in Florida for warm weather, then move to AA when the weather gets better

This is most likely(nothing official)...^^^

[z3r0s]

There really isn't a downside to starting them in A+, they didn't have that much time at that level last season.

Phenom alert: 4-hit, 5-RBI day for Tatis Jr.

 

Shortstop, 19, continues to impress in first big league camp

Tatis Jr.'s four-hit day.

 

By Alyson Footer MLB.com @alysonfooter

 

Expectations for Padres top prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. were set long before he reported to Spring Training. If he was hoping to make an indelible impression on the Friars' decision-makers during his time in big league camp, it's fair to say he's already succeeded -- even with three weeks to go.

 

Tatis is only 19, but having been labeled by MLB Pipeline as the No. 8 prospect in all of baseball, he has generated his share of attention. And he added to his allure on Sunday, going 4-for-4 with five RBIs as the starting shortstop in a split-squad game at the White Sox.

 

Tatis, who logged a double and stole a base, increased his spring average to .381 and his OPS to 1.125.

 

Not bad for a kid ticketed for some more Minor League seasoning when the 2018 regular season arrives.

 

"It's felt great, man," Tatis said after Sunday's big game, one the Padres won, 7-6. "I've been working hard, been working every day with my hitting coach. It's paying off right now. They've been telling me to stay more consistent, be a little more quiet with my swing, staying through the ball. Same swing, just more control."

 

Tatis, the son of former 11-year Major Leaguer Fernando Tatis, was acquired by the Padres in June 2016 as part of the James Shields trade. Last year, the shortstop became the first 18-year-old in Midwest League history to post at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases.

 

He's viewed as a future power hitter, with a rocket arm at short. He's also shown plate discipline unusual for a player his age, having led the Midwest League last year with 75 walks.

 

Being in big league camp can help boost a young player's confidence, even if he doesn't have a realistic shot to crack the Opening Day 25-man roster. Simply facing a higher level of competition can provide a welcomed test -- a test Tatis, so far, is acing.

 

"It's obviously a little bit better over here," Tatis said. "The pitchers have more control. It's close to the same, just a lot more control."

 

What can a little early success do for a kid's confidence?

 

"It helps me a lot, knowing I can hit no matter where I'm at," Tatis said.

^ It's insane how good this guy is going to be.

Fixed.

I apologize if this is the wrong forum to ask this: I'm coming up in the second round of my dynasty draft. Alec Hanson, Nate Pearson, or JB Bukubububu (the Astros buy a vowel pitcher drafted last year that I can never spell correctly). Who would you choose?

Nate Pearson and it's not very close

[Abomination]

I'd probably take Bukauskas, but you likely can't go wrong with either him or Pearson imo.

After further review.
