MLB is screwed if they don't give players incentive to deal with the minor league pay BS, years of riding around in a bus, and years of living off noodles and beans. Don't blame Kyler at all. Long-term MLB players can make way more than NFL players but those MLB players actually have to be good for a long period of time to get that money down the road.

No kidding, and there's a higher bust rate for top MLB prospects. If everything were to work out then yes long term MLB makes sense, but NFL is less of a risk financially and it really isnt even close.

Especially as a QB...

Our bet is official!

I guess but I probably wouldn't take your money if that happened

[Daniel Labude]

Murray will go in the 1st round

[jays4life19]

Murray will go in the 1st round

 

Nah.

1. Limited college QB experience

2. Played 1 year against s*** teams

3. 5'9

4. Has the threat of going back to baseball

 

He's more of a day 2 guy for me. I think a team might pop him in round 2 or 3 though.

[Brownie19]

I still think he just tells teams that he has to be guaranteed $X million or he's going to play MLB...

 

He can be drafted, but he doesn't have to sign.

[glory]

Murray is going to use the A's as leverage in the NFL draft. If a team takes him early in the 1st then he's probably a goner, but if he lasts late in the 1st, or even drops below that, then he'll have the A's as the backup plan.

Second round pick QBs are rare in the NFL because the position is such a premium. Its either a yes or no for teams at that position, rarely a maybe. Thats why there have been 13 first round QBs and only 2 second round QBs over the last 4 years. I think the baseball decision makes it even less likely he goes day 2 as no team will want to waste a second or 3rd rounder (still premium picks in football) on him when he is just going to jet back to baseball at that point because the signing bonus is now much weaker than a first rounder. So I think he's first round or late day 3

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins cited the ongoing innovation across baseball as an influence in the selection of the club’s new major league staff, and it was again a factor in the organization’s recent minor league appointments.

 

While experienced baseball men such as Bobby Meacham at Triple-A Buffalo, Mike Mordecai at Double-A New Hampshire, Cesar Martin at high Class A Dunedin and Dallas MacPherson at low Class A Lansing remain in the system and will manage teams in 2019, analytically-adept newcomers such as short-season Vancouver pitching coach Demetre Kokoris bring a different dimension to the farm system.

 

“The current landscape of player development and helping players get better is really to be curious about every type of resource," farm director Gil Kim said, "and that’s (a combination of) experience, knowledge, past playing ability and that’s also experience with data and technology, experience with integrating mental performance into development.

 

“So it’s really about trying to maximize the skill set and diversity of our entire development department.”

 

Kokoris joins the Blue Jays from the college coaching ranks, most recently as pitching coach at Point Loma Nazarene in San Diego, along with Lansing hitting coach Logan Bone (assistant coach at Lindenwood in St. Charles, Mo.) and Rookie-level assistant coach Cory Popham (pitching coach at Post in Waterbury, Conn.).

 

Jake McGuiggan, a Harvard graduate who played two years of independent ball before joining Dunedin as a video coach last year, remains with the club in a new analyst coach position, a first in the system.

 

His role will be “to try to help leverage all the information and data and technology that are resources for us,” Kim said. “This is a new role, so we wanted to try it out at one affiliate this year, and we felt that high A level was maybe the best level for now with where we are as a group on this.”

Casey Candaele will manage at Vancouver while also beginning work at another new position: the system’s coordinator of practice design/skill development.

 

“He brings the humility and knowledge,” Kim said, “but he also has the experience and open-mindedness to think about the two main areas, which are designing and structuring the development day and then how best to help our players acquire the technical and tactical skills.”

 

JAYS CHATTER

— Hunter Mense, the hitting coach at New Hampshire last year who worked closely with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., is the club’s new hitting coordinator.

— Doug Mathis joins the Blue Jays as pitching coach at Buffalo after two seasons at low Class A Clinton in the Mariners system.

Well that's a tiny little article

I was just thinking today that it's almost time for you to come out of hibernation. A bit early this year though.

 

What's your plans for spring training this year?
