Jays stretching out Scott Copeland
NorthOf49 replied to jaysfan2014's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
How does Sportsnet decide who to write about? lol -
I may be willing to trade actual assets though, Navarro doesn't need to be involved. Arizona really does have a pitching surplus and would want prospects. There could be a fit.
-
Computer Science and Business Double Degree is a great program. You'll have two chances to make a football team too.
-
It's used often on baseball twitter. A favourite of Jonn's too.
-
Yep. I wonder if we could throw in some extra value (a C prospect or two) to get one of Arizona's arms.
-
The Cardinals won a World Series without Adam Wainwright. We have to stay positive.
-
We reallllly need Norris to step up.
-
No... Stroman Torn ACL.
-
And he hasn't tweeted in 19 hours. Unlike Stro.
-
The new suspension rules are 80 games for first failed test. That would not be good.
-
I'm sick to my stomach
-
The results of EE's MRI just broke this morning though. We already have the updated news on him. A suspension makes more sense. I would assume that reporters break suspension news more than they break injury news.
-
Maybe Matt West is hurt?
-
You could imagine a closer believing he could show up near game-time though. And Buehrle used the word 'play' in his question... maybe responding with 'play hard' was natural even if the player was a pitcher. Idk.
-
Casey Janssen is a dark horse IMO. There are rumblings about him. Buehrle supposedly manages the pitchers too. Bautista leads the hitters and would have addressed Colby.
-
#PapaBuehrle Re-read the question!

Kiley McDaniel: Evaluating Blue Jays prospects
NorthOf49 replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Matt West: "huge arm speed has hit 100 mph... plus plus fastball, average slider." fap fap fap -
He's the lead prospect writer for Fangraphs. You've probably read a dozen of his articles without realizing it. Pumps out a lot of good content.
-
Norris is not in BBDL's database because he appeared in the majors but didn't record enough appearances as a starter or a reliever to qualify for either. Jimmy Nelson had the same thing last year and Ace scooped him up for free once he gained eligibility. But this thread isn't about BBDL.
-
He's back, folks!
-
There's other stuff that goes into Lance Lynn's value though.
-
lol that correlates less with present and future success though. Would you consider Lackey's performance to be fantastic if he had a good xFIP? Or does the presence of HR/FB correction preclude the stat from being used in performance evaluation?
-
Anyway... Dickey would be an interesting return. I don't know how Min will respond.
-
It's a matter of what you're measuring. A pitcher who pitches as Lackey did with the Cardinals will generally be very successful. He did give up runs and dingers though. If you're measuring that (via ERA/FIP), he was sub-fantastic.
-
You should! Pitchers usually try to throw a strike on the first pitch so it's a good indicator of overall control. Pitch F/X era seasons with >90 innings (.44 R^2): http://i.imgur.com/rJaxILK.png And obviously SwStr% is a good indicator of strikeout ability.
