If he just makes it. He will have already proved everyone wrong.

The fact that Tebow went from non baseball player to above average hitter in AA is pretty impressive. 130 wRC+ after tonight..

 

I bet he'll be called up this year, maybe September.

 

Damn. Had not checked him out yet this year.

 

The 40% K rate might be slightly concerning lol but that's still awesome.

Uhh..... 40% K + .419 BABIP.... he's still bad, really bad... though the BB rate is pretty good.

It's pretty common for Bluechip elite prospects like Tim Tebow to have high BABIP's

Blue chip elite. Lol

Tebow has the baseball experience of a high school senior. I'd say he'll be top 100 on most midseason lists.

Easily.

Labrum surgery for Wander Javier, out for 6-9 months

[Spanky__99]

Also, just LOL at trying to ego-trip with fantasy baseball as if its some sort of measure of baseball acumen. I played fantasy baseball a decade ago too kiddo; I've also posted on basically every Blue Jays related forum worth anything over that span of time as well. Running RealGM account from 2003, come at me huehuehue.

 

 

 

Dis guy iz Pist!

[Spanky__99]

How will you wallow in the dismay of some on this board when their favourite prospects bust, if you don't let them ejaculate daily into this thread?

 

I haven't should I?

[Spanky__99]

Kevin Vicuna just hit a HR. News more significant than anything about these other ****s.

 

lol... it is, he barelled a ball, s*** happens.

[Spanky__99]

You guys trippin'

[Pendleton]

You guys trippin'

 

They probably didn't even hear that Alex Reyes is back

Kid's a boss, throwing high 90's.

[Spanky__99]

Have seen some encouraging reports on your boy Cease. Not really post worthy, just wanted to make you feel better.

 

Eloy Jimenez says hi, moron. What place are you in, what place is our team in, riiiiight? lol

 

*crickets*

[Spanky__99]

Biggio went yard last night... love it.

[Spanky__99]

I don't know if anyone has posted this before but I learned today that Guadalupe Chavez, the former Blue Jays prospect that was traded for Scott Feldman, retired last year.

Pretty bizarre. He had some very good numbers for an 18 year old in rookie ball.

That is odd, I wonder what his reason was, anyhow that was a long time ago now in baseball news.

[BlueRocky]

Biggio went yard last night... love it.

After they intentionally walked Vlad too.

Gotta punish them!

 

His pinch hit homer the night before was awesome too.

 

He’s been swinging a lot on first pitch strikes though, they might start pitching him differently.

[John_Havok]

Thought this was pretty cool.

 

[AledmysDiaz]

Kacey Clemens is going to be an allstar

[Grant77]

Kacey Clemens is going to be an allstar

 

Maybe in the Florida State League.

At what?

He'll just need to adjust if that were the case, then.

Quick question here. I remember when AA came in and revamped the scouting department from however it was run during the JP regime. Within a few years our system improved dramatically and was maybe seen as top 10. Then we traded a bunch of prospects for Dickey, Donaldson, Tulo, Price etc. Didn't we trade 5 guys for Happ in some deal with the Astros? Anyway, I did a little checking last night, and would it be right to say that outside of Syndergaard, we haven't lost anyone so far who's done a whole lot at the MLB level?

Yes that's pretty much right

 

The guys sent in the Happ trade were all filler

 

Donaldson trade was so lopsided its nuts. Lawrie isn't even in baseball anymore, Graveman is a health disaster and only Barretto might become something

 

D'Arnaud has been very mediocre and we wouldn't want him as our catcher. And heck if we'd had him here we might not have signed Martin. Syndergaard is beastly yes

 

Don't miss Gose even through Travis is frustrating AF

 

Hoffman has done nothing it just sucks that we're spending so much money for Tulo though we dumped Reyes concurrently which mitigated the financial impact

Well there's Hechavarria, d'Arnaud, and Musgrove who have been fairly valuable. I also wouldn't be surprised if Norris and Barreto turn into something.

 

Then there's Eric Thames if you want to count him.

[AledmysDiaz]

Thames probably doesn't become the talent he is without his trip to Asia

According to Baseball reference, Hech has 4.1 WAR over parts of 7 seasons in the bigs.

 

D'Arnaud has accumulated 2.1 WAR over parts of 6 seasons in the bigs, and he's hurt again.

 

Musgrove has started 25 games over two seasons in addition to working out of the pen and has 0.6 WAR to show for it. He's currently in the Pirates system coming back from an injury.

 

Eric Thames flamed out after the trade to Seattle and was out of the bigs for 5 seasons. I'm surprised as any he's back, but no one saw that coming.

 

With the caveat of course being "So far", I'd tend to agree with G-Snarls that none of these players have been missed.

Well considering we rolled with Ryan Goins and Jarrod Saltalamacchia type players at those positions, I would have taken Hechavarria and d'Arnaud in a second. They were certainly missed to the tune of a few wins, but they weren't going to change the franchise or anything.

[King]

I think you guys are missing the boat here. None of those players are stars but 1-2 win players on cheap contracts are assets. Probably could have helped knowing how god awful Anthopoulous was at filling out the backend of rosters.
