GD

and then we lost to the pelicans without Anthony Davis

This is a pretty bad team, honestly.

Holy s*** that's ridiculous

Derozan is awful. Lou iso 3 coming up.

JJ getting shifty

He adjusted very well last year.

I didn't know goats could speak English. Cool!

AG's impatience has now reached leagues he's not even in

Imagine if they all bust, lol. My pipe dream within reason at this point is Vladdy + Heredia/Gutierez/Tatis Jr, one of the three. Not really anything else.

Maybe he thought he'd trade up further to land Maeda.

It's not like there are many really tempting high tempting budget-breaking guys for the draft, either. Kyler Murray will probably be gone and if he's still available, it's probably cause he wants like $5M lol. BUT... If the Jays are spending 8m on international kids: Vlad Jr is 3.2, that's a remainder of 4.8. But, assuming their pool is $3M (or their entire budget is Vladdy or whatever), and it's a 100% overage tax (it is, right?), they can give out a $2.4m bonus while paying a 100% overage. So they might be able to get one of Heredia/Gutierrez/Alvares/Tatis Jr.?/Ortiz if they sign for less than Vladdy, but I wouldn't bet on it. So basically, we'd have to be saving the funds we're not using on our MLB payroll right now to go all out this year. I think people kind of underestimate what it'd take to go all out. If you're signing a ton of these $3m bonus guys, after like the first one they turn into $6m bonus guys, and those add up really, really quickly, and by the end of it you're at the point where you could either take all these DSL Angrioter Jr.'s, or you could sign a guy like Matt Garza in the offseason (or whoever for this upcoming offseason). It might be better this signing period, when there's a lot of elite talent available and a commish who might be crazy/weird/proactive enough to instill an international draft. But it's still a lot. Hope not too many are disappointed if we don't go all out.

I'm honored.

"Of course those who don't work Mon-Fri would have to notify a commish overlord."right there boxcar!!! Just shoot the commish a PM saying like "Hey I'm busy __ to __ and free ___ to ___." Idk, just a thought.

Hi, Friendly neighborhood BBDL scum here. Maybe 12 hour windows during workdays and 6 hour windows during offdays? Of course those who don't work Mon-Fri would have to notify a commish overlord. Sincerely, Friendly BBDL trash

there's odd jobs and then there's these

Don't worry, Dogg will get me long before that.

Because it's threatening their livelihood, lol

I feel like the market may overcorrect on Kang and he may drop a bit below where he should, but Montero>Kang, for Boxy's team seeking high upside, yeah, I can dig it. So what's it been so far, 1 Tomas 2 Souza 3 Montero?

I have no idea who else was available or how the hell that'll work out so all I'm really qualified to say on this is I can certainly appreciate the guts.

A.) Hurl, King just referenced One Direction in a legitimate thread. Do your thing. B.) Howie? Like Mandel? Does that site just know I'm super-Jew or something?

This is an invalid line of thought for the same reasons being detailed in regards to Estrada. There are some reasons Smoak may break out, but not because the Rogers Centre affects his value. It's not like RC has any special dimensions that may be valuable to Smoak in particular, more so than anyone else, so it doesn't affect him.

Always fun to see a random discussion involving me break out in the DDL thread Probably the closest I'll ever come to being a part of the league

I... ugh

Holy f*** that is a horrendous call. Just awful.

lol i thought the refs had taken a break for being horrific for a few games?
