Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Author Posted July 28, 2018 Did not realize how bald Ben Badler is. Ben Balder?
tercet Verified Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Mayza unfortunately is bald as well, during the poker charity tourney a month ago I didn’t even know who he was took about 30 minutes to figure out, never seen him without a hat on.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Yeah, he was optioned before the season started on 3/18, rosterresourse is wrong. 39 on the 40. Well, optioning a player doesn't remove him from the 40 man roster, so he should still be there unless he had been dFA'd. Weird
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Did not realize how bald Ben Badler is. He really should just shave his head at this point.
Spanky__99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Well, optioning a player doesn't remove him from the 40 man roster, so he should still be there unless he had been dFA'd. Weird Right, he's on the 40 man here... https://www.rosterresource.com/mlb-toronto-blue-jays/
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Right, he's on the 40 man here... https://www.rosterresource.com/mlb-toronto-blue-jays/ This confuses me. If he was never DFA since the start of the year he should be on the 40 man roster right now.
Spanky__99 Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 This confuses me. If he was never DFA since the start of the year he should be on the 40 man roster right now. That's what I'm saying big guy, he's on the 40 man on that site, but the MLB site doesn't, I think it's their(MLB) mistake. It's what I've been saying all along.

Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Yous guys are dumb. I feel like this isn't the first time that assumption on McKinney was made either. Maybe in one of the fantasy draft threads?

P2F Old-Timey Member Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Is there a prospect in baseball more criminally underrated than Isaac Paredes? He gets zero love from any prospect publication, yet the numbers he put up in the Florida State League this season at 19 more than hold their own to the numbers put up by the majority of the elite teenagers that have played in the league in the past decade: [TABLE=width: 608] [TR] [TD]Name[/TD] [TD]Year[/TD] [TD]Age[/TD] [TD]PA[/TD] [TD]BB%[/TD] [TD]K%[/TD] [TD]BABIP[/TD] [TD]wRC+[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jesus Montero[/TD] [TD]2009[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]198[/TD] [TD]7.1[/TD] [TD]13.1[/TD] [TD]0.381[/TD] [TD]185[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Vladimir Guerrero Jr.[/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]18[/TD] [TD]209[/TD] [TD]17.2[/TD] [TD]13.4[/TD] [TD]0.365[/TD] [TD]179[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Giancarlo Stanton[/TD] [TD]2009[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]210[/TD] [TD]13.3[/TD] [TD]21.4[/TD] [TD]0.331[/TD] [TD]178[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Byron Buxton[/TD] [TD]2013[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]253[/TD] [TD]12.6[/TD] [TD]19.4[/TD] [TD]0.404[/TD] [TD]155[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bo Bichette[/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]182[/TD] [TD]7.7[/TD] [TD]14.3[/TD] [TD]0.360[/TD] [TD]145[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jake Bauers[/TD] [TD]2015[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]249[/TD] [TD]11.6[/TD] [TD]13.3[/TD] [TD]0.291[/TD] [TD]142[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Ronald Acuna[/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]126[/TD] [TD]6.3[/TD] [TD]31.7[/TD] [TD]0.411[/TD] [TD]135[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Isaac Paredes[/TD] [TD]2018[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]347[/TD] [TD]9.2[/TD] [TD]15.6[/TD] [TD]0.274[/TD] [TD]126[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jon Singleton[/TD] [TD]2011[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]382[/TD] [TD]14.7[/TD] [TD]21.7[/TD] [TD]0.352[/TD] [TD]126[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Andres Gimenez[/TD] [TD]2018[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]351[/TD] [TD]6.3[/TD] [TD]19.9[/TD] [TD]0.343[/TD] [TD]123[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Willy Adames[/TD] [TD]2015[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]456[/TD] [TD]11.8[/TD] [TD]27[/TD] [TD]0.356[/TD] [TD]121[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]J.P.

I read on Fangraphs, It was either a Longenhagen chat or fringe five that his body looks like a late career Jhonny Peralta. I don't know what his defense is like. But if he rakes in AA as a 19 year old he's going to be impossible to ignore for any longer. I know it's been only a handful of games at AA but, as a fantasy owner in LoD, I can barely contain my excitement for Paredes. The bat looks absolutely legit.

Bobthe4th Old-Timey Member Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 September callup! Might as well give him a shot. Service time isn’t really an issue, he’d have to have a Soto like impact to start next year on the 25 man. It’s obv unlikely, but how cool would it be if by the end of next season the starting lineup includes: C: Jansen 1B: Tellez 2B: Gurriel 3B: Guerrero SS: Bichette

We could move him of course, but his contract is super valuable and it doesn't seem like the market pays for slugging non-elite first basemen anymore.
Stoneyen Verified Member Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Bo homer: http://clips.milb.com/milb/2018/07/29/44-538818-2018-07-28/web_cut/milb_2322308183_1000K.mp4 On 1-2 count, you can see he still gets big power even without the big leg kick.
Stoneyen Verified Member Posted July 29, 2018 Posted July 29, 2018 Also Bo: "I think maybe I gave pitchers too much credit, thinking they'd exploit [my athleticism in the box]," he said. "People tell me all the time my swing's too noisy and stuff. I think just a combination of everything kind of made me feel like I needed to quiet things down. Recently, I just kind of realized that's what made me special. I do things a little bit differently. About three games ago, I decided to start going back to my old self and just kind of having fun up there and swinging as hard as I can. It's pretty immediately made some impact." https://www.milb.com/milb/news/toronto-blue-jays-prospect-bo-bichette-ties-career-high-with-five-rbis/c-287822652?tcid=tw_article_287822652,tw_article_287822652
