He should. Being the first openly gay GM is great for the sport!

I feel like this post was an attempt to pick on a misspell but it wasn't and now I'm confused which might be what you were trying to accomplish well maybe not me in particular but anyone else reading that ok bye

That is a lot of crap. I'd probably take Roark at that rate. Maybe also Yimi Garcia.

[TheHurl]

Likely a value loss but something like Pillar for Roark makes sense.

[Spanky99]

Shelby Miller at half the rate of Roark, maybe?

Duvall is a guy to look at. Was babiped this year

The Jays were interested in him last offseason: http://redsminorleagues.com/2017/12/13/blue-jays-interested-reds-adam-duvall/

A couple comments from that article.

 

"December 13, 2017

Max Pentecost is a better prospect than Danny Jansen (and he wouldn’t cost us a 35hr 100+rbi a year gold glove leftfielder)

Once again, you’re disappointing me here Doug"

 

"December 13, 2017

How about Billy H. and Adam D. in exchange for Bichette and Guerrero?

Two proven MLB starters in exchange for two up and comers who’ve got a boatload of potential…

(i could get behind this sorta move, even if it never works out)"

[Spanky99]

A couple comments from that article.

 

These comments were much better, lol.

There’s no way the Blue Jays would ever trade Vlad Jr and Bichette for Duvall and Hamilton. That’s laughable. I doubt you could even make that happen on a video game.

 

 

MK

Maybe they would throw in Josh Donaldson too.

I learned a long time ago not to read the comment sections of any articles or yt videos. lol

I ignored it the 1st time when you posted the link, the next thing I know I'm back looking cause of TBJ12 posted that. lol

[DigitalRock]

Lol, there’s no way that post is an 8.

 

I was trying to be nice.....4/10 it is.

[Angrioter]

He should. Being the first openly gay GM is great for the sport!

 

but he has 99 kids with Lara Croft

[Brownie19]

Duvall is a guy to look at. Was babiped this year

 

And in 2017, when he didn't get babiped, he posted a wRC+ of 97. For that reason, I'm out.

^ players I would consider owning

[glory]

We already have Duvall. His name is Teoscar.

[Laika]

Duvall is actually a +5 baserunner (total) and +7 defender (OF, UZR/150) in his career. Teoscar is a -2.5 and horrendous -11.4.

 

So, Duvall is different because he is actually an outfielder and not a total baseball instincts disaster. Also he's white and Nationalism is really popular with the kids right now.

Yeah I meant offensively, but I think I'd rather see if Hernandez's defence is fixable than to acquire Duvall.

[G-Snarls]

[Jimcanuck]

Duvall is just a stopgap, 1 year deal guy ideally. He could be knocking them out at a 40 home run clip in the Jay's bandbox with above average defence and can be moved at deadline

 

This is all a rebuilding team wants from non tenders, really

[Bobthe4th]

 

Disappointingly this would be an excellent hire for the Orioles.

Duvall would be controllable through 2021 so if they sign him and he has a big year there would be no urgency to move him.

True but he's 30 yes old and the control would just increase his value

He kinda looks like a lesbian to be quite honest

Orioles might also be getting Sig Mejdal from Astros, analytics god.

 

Two great hires from their Org... godammit!
