I would call him a poor man's Colby Rasmus if his contract wasnt $10,000,000.00

I havent seen enough of him to draw JP Arancibia comparisons but his K rate has been historically terrible.

Judging a guy solely on k rate is really dumb.

Woah now. Bruce gets like 2x the RIBbies than JPA. Really, he is a top 5 catcher! We've all been misreading this trade - Jays aren't trying to get a LF but a starting catcher. Moves Russell to backup. Pretty legit.

Funny thing is having to see people post starting catchers as our back-up, hell, I've seen Lucroy brought up?

Haha I doubt it. I just got a kick out of him being on a baseball roundtable

 

Goddamn trolls.

 

Though the fact that was believable says a lot about snet.

No way? Wow. Does that happen in other sports too?

 

You'd think based on that statement that Wrigley would've been empty based on their lack of success for the past 100 years.

 

Or the Leafs, Maple Leaf Gardens.....and ACC......s*** teams forever and sold out.

Hey, P.S.!!! What was that offer you sent me, I can't find it in my e-mail(think I deleted it), send it again, please? :P

 

I've got way too much going on to even care about fantasy stuff right now.

Can someone tweet to Bobcat that ESPN's David Schoenfield predicted the Jays to have the fifth best record in MLB winning the AL East at 91-71

 

He is so f***ing ignorant keeps saying his I haven't seen anyone predict the Jays garbage.

Leafs are different, I think. They sell 15,000 + to corporate ownership, 2000 to scalpers and like a thousand to the general public... very different.

P.S. Maple Leaf Gardens was boycotted by fans in the 80's, plenty of empty seats, I used to go as a kid all the time.

Also 41 home games vs 81 home games. And 18,200 seats vs 49,200+ seats.

The JPA comment was tongue and cheek if you missed it, and for the record he would likely do the same or better than Rasmus in TO.

Rasmus was nowhere near as terrible as Arencibia, not even close.
