BTS Community Moderator Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Did he end up trading Matt Harvey and Kenley? Harvey for pretty much nothing (Sheffield and McKinney) and Kenley for Judge and Beede.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Hey P2F, how about the updated Cody Bellinger stat line: 360/439/740 with 5 dingers and 4/4 stealing bases for a 212 wRC+ in 57 PA. He's 21 in AAA. It's ludicrous. I'd love to see that K rate come down a little, but I have no doubt that he'll always make the necessary adjustments if his current approach doesn't pan out in the bigs. He's a student of the game. I'm pretty excited about his arrival.
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Just saw on the Score app that the Cubs pitching coach is all sorts of salty regarding Eric Thames lighting up the league right now.
Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Cubs’ John Lackey and Chris Bosio imply Eric Thames is using*PEDs https://t.co/9mwEK7CqrX
Terminator Old-Timey Member Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Cubs’ John Lackey and Chris Bosio imply Eric Thames is using*PEDs https://t.co/9mwEK7CqrX Sour grapes. Just let people enjoy Thames' story. Baseball loves throwing cold water on anything that deviates from the norm.
vdubmvp Old-Timey Member Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Cubs’ John Lackey and Chris Bosio imply Eric Thames is using*PEDs https://t.co/9mwEK7CqrX John Lackey being a piece of s*** is just so surprising to me.
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Thames was always jacked lol. Trying to act like he went to Korea and became the incredible hulk.
John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 John Lackey being a piece of s*** is just so surprising to me. Props to the first comment in the comments section "Oh eff off Lackey. Don’t you have another cancer-stricken wife to divorce or something?" Mic dropped.

Brownie19 Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Cubs’ John Lackey and Chris Bosio imply Eric Thames is using*PEDs https://t.co/9mwEK7CqrX What a POS Lackey is. Thames saw a TON of offspeed pitches in the KBO over the last couple of years. He mashes offspeed. This ******* flips a s***** spinner 3-2 and then runs his mouth? Read a scouting report you f***.

Drop him in Lansing to come up with Vladdy and Bo. All it costs is money.
metafour Verified Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Would be a perfect target to go after. Drop him in Lansing to come up with Vladdy and Bo. All it costs is money. We can't. He's been cleared to sign as a 2016/2017 IFA. We are still under penalty for that period and can't sign anyone for more than $300K.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 So Eric Thames homered again tonight. NBD.
Jonn Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Thames has more homeruns than our entire team.
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 The real question is, which of us didn't pick up Thames in our crappy redraft leagues with friends who don't know about projections? I know it did... in the 18th round

I know it did... in the 18th round I picked him up in like the last round of the JPA classic. Does that count?

Angrioter Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Thames is good because he isn't a Jays.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Thames is good because he isn't a Jays. And you aren't an English because of a Mexicans

I know it did... in the 18th round I got him in all my redrafts. Highest I took him was in the 11th round, but it's a 16 team league. Now they're wondering what I want for him in trade.

Krylian Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 So glad the Jays decided to just do enough to get penalized but not enough to really re-load the cupboard. #forwardthinking

These guys are both such f***ing idiots. "I've never heard of him therefore cheater" Disregard the fact that Thames was huge even before Korea and has been huge throughout his time in Korea. The great John Lackey doesn't know who he is and that's the important thing.

glory Old-Timey Member Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Would you rather not have Vlad Jr.? I don't understand I think he means if they were going to go over, then they should have just gone crazy and spent huge since they were going to get penalized anyway.
