I always enjoy all the personal attacks in this forum. You guys are great.

8k 0 walks in his second High A start

 

Woods Richardson might be good at pitching.

[THANOS]

SWR looking dominant today so far.

 

5IP, 4H, 8K, 0BB, 62P (3R off 1HR)

[SaskJaysFan_2]

I did

And i have a updated one coming. With a few surprises

 

I am looking forward to it, Todd. I like your POV. You give zero f***s about the others, many of whom chase each other's opinion to avoid be trolled and named called.

 

Unfortunately I think you are correct about Alford. I don't see him in the plans at all.

Now:

 

6IP, 4H, 9K, 0BB, 76P

Now:

 

6IP, 4H, 9K, 0BB, 76P

 

Took him out after 76 pitches. What a dominant outing!

[Ray]

Not bad for an 18 year old in High-A.

[glory]

So after two starts in A+: 9.2 IP, 5 H, 6 R, 4 BB, 14 K, 1 HR.

 

18 year's old in A+. He'll definitely shoot up the prospect rankings next year (if not this winter).

[Jonn]

He will definitely be a top 100 guy by next season. The return was light but this kid looks like a beast.

Slight update guys, gameday botched the 6th inning and classified the pitcher as SWR but that inning was actually Neil Ramirez it seems...

 

So final line is below:

 

5IP, 4H, 8K, 0BB, 62P

 

Still dominant

[Slade]

47 of 62 Pitches for strikes, I'll take that for a 18 year old in A+.

I am going to get sued because I am rock hard right now, in the workplace. wow!

Who's return did you like better? The one for Bauer or the one for Grienke?

[BlueRocky]

Now:

 

6IP, 4H, 9K, 0BB, 76P

 

Deivi Garcia-esque

[Jonn]

I thought both the Indians and Dbacks did well. Cleveland could have got better prospect capital but they clearly prioritized big league talent to bolster the roster and stay competitive.

 

Considering a lot of people felt the Grenkie contract was unmovable at one point they got a nice return and ate less money than I thought they would. All in all that Grenkie signing was very successful for Arizona. Which is crazy to think they got a front line starter and we’re ending up able to flip him at 35 for high end prospects.

And by high end prospects you mean Seth Beer (100th overall), an injured Corbin Martin and JBB (who's now Arizona's version of Hector Perez)?

 

The Indians return is more ML ready, but Reyes and Allen don't have upside our deal does. Reyes is the new Domingo Santana. a 110 wRC+ hitting DH, while Allen is essentially Kay.

 

Give me the upside of SWR over Reyes every day of the week.

I wasn’t complaining?

 

Indians got major league players they could put in their lineup right away. Grenkie had a massive contract and is 35. I don’t look at them as all that comparable. All 3 franchises in different situations.

 

SWR might ultimately be the best player in that group but hes also the furthest away. And I thought the Jays could have squeezed out more value out of the Mets.

 

For the Blue Jays whatever scenario got us the highest upside prospect would have always been my preferred return. Will see if thatÂ’s the case.

[Barkerfan23]

Now:

 

6IP, 4H, 9K, 0BB, 76P

 

That doesn't match the info on MILB

 

great if true.

[Todd]

So today the jays dfa'd David Paulino. To make room for Zach Godley but my opinion is the jays still need

pitching and with Ryan Borucki going to be shut down for the final 6 weeks jays did not have to do that.

And the jays get read of pitching like it going out of style but can keep a guy who is always hurt and has not proven

a dam thing on the 40 man roster is stupid. And has yet to play a full season does not make since.

[glory]

Alford back in AAA and 1-3 with a HR so far.

 

The Fisher trade might have sealed his fate on the Jays though, unless he's the 4th OF (out of options after this season).

Alford had a .459 OPS through a full month of April striking out 40%. He was in an abyss. It's pretty impressive for him to mentally over come that. I'm not sure if he made some mechanical adjustments or his approach at the plate change, but he's put up a .910 OPS in his last 90 days. He's really been quite good since the month of May. He's still a guy who runs a 4.5 40 and built like a linebacker. The raw power is there, he has a good arm and great speed. I hope he gets quite of bit of time in September.

 

Tellez also 2 for 4 tonight with a pair of doubles. he's now hitting .342 in Buffalo. He certainly deserves some at bats come September.

He doesn't have a good arm. But I agree with the rest. After a terrible start he's been quite good.

Paulino sucks without PEDs and lazy. No big loss.

i'm okay trading Hernandez to make room for Alford, honestly.

 

*ducks*

[Todd]

Let's a mistake. More upside to Hernandez. Then Alford. Besides Alford is always hurt and never

plays a full season. One of the reason why he should not be in the top 30. Second nobody knows

what he is because of it. And most importantly is he has not earned it. Or improved after 8 seasons.

This team does not need other Dalton Pompey.

Actually seems like Pardinho slowed his arm down there

Damn that curve from Murray was legit!

SWR is actually a fan of Stroman, he's liked some of his tweets well before he was traded.
