He's layed his bed on Trout's demotion, he's an idiot.

[Jonn]

It isn't very hard to make Keith Law look stupid. But you absolutely demolished him on his timeline. I am surprised it went on that long. My goodness gracious people pay to read this guys s***.

[King]

I think Keith Law's argument (I think) is that you want Vlad to get better, faster. So if you bring him up now, he will be better next year.

 

But you are forfeiting a lot of value to do that, so it's stupid regardless.

 

The basis of his argument is that Vlad will come up and struggle like Trout which probably wont happen anyway. So many prospects these days have come up and hit the ground running - theres no real reason to believe he'll struggle.

[TheHurl]

There is zero development formula though. Many players struggle early and then get better, but plenty Brett Lawrie' it and look like superstars for their first 200 PA's before their true talent comes forward. The one certainty is that 6 years and 171 days before free agency is maximising your value. His argument that holding Acuna back until April 25th may end up costing Atlanta a playoff spot is the only argument for calling up a player early which actually holds water. If the Jays end up contending next year, no one is going to care about the first 25 days of the season.

It's pretty straight forward... Law can die on his island.

I don't understand why he's attacking the fans for wanting their favourite team to make the best decisions they can under the rules of the CBA. His issue is with the CBA itself.

I understand perfectly well, actually. If you read between the lines, all the players he's listing are Hispanic. Law has gone into social justice overdrive and that's why he's completely abandoned reason. He's fighting oppression!

 

Ah, he actually SPECIFICALLY lists "Dominican minor leaguers"
