  1. This was from 2080 baseball. Which is probably where mlb got their grades from. And it is indeed a future grade
  2. An advanced statistics information session on the same podcast where Alan tells Nick "stop being such a Poindexter" Keep Poindextering Nick
  3. Josh Winckowski for the record was ranked 151st among high school players in the state of Florida by Perfect Game.
  4. Where would you like my Luciano rant? Here? Twitter? Youtube comments?
  5. He apologized to one
  6. Just wait until next year and Boxy is in charge and see what happens to your voting privileges
  7. Either create a Radio Scouts Linkedin account or add it to one of yours and use that for the ask. It just comes off as more professional than an email.
  8. From friends that attended the Vegas meetings. AA has bought in 100% on advanced analytics and has the biggest budget of any team set aside to bring in the best people. He took the Harvard Analytics course himself while working with the Dodgers. He obviously is getting over his fear of people smarter than him by making himself smarter.
  9. Jays from the Couch got an interview with Shapiro. You guys should be able to score Atkins. Maybe even have him on the podcast.
  10. I really believe it is this male fan hatred for Stroman is partially what sparks the rumours IMO. He is such a polarizing guy that Jays fans click on everything that has his name. Steve Simmons (who was up to it again today by saying that Stroman is not wanted in the clubhouse as the team rebuilds) only reports about the Jays when it's about Stroman it seems.
  11. I am good with that...we can have a Saskatchewan Summer GM meeting. And while you are in Swift Current you can volunteer for the Canada Western Summer Games.
  12. I had a conversation with someone from Dazn and they are looking to add NCAA baseball.
  13. That is what I want Boxy to sound like when pronouncing latin names.
  14. Buster Posey and right handed Todd Helton are in this class and J4L is concerning himself with the next Christian Colon
  15. I do think using more pitchers is bad for baseball, but the direction it is heading in and probably is too late to stop. I think the fact that a team is using one at the start of the game is just semantics and odd to argue over. Tradition and fantasy are actually two of the biggest arguments against it (not making fun of Boxy here, this was a legit concern against it on other sites and by an old GM on MLB radio). What surprises me is that it this appears to be effective, and there are many here that never say a peep when a pitcher is pulled before the 3rd time through, that are opposing the opener. So it surprises me that many forward thinking people here that are against it. Is it bad for baseball? Absolutely, it brings in zero fans. It confuses casuals, it pisses off traditionalists and likely lengthens the game. But it's innovative and people here should respect the f*** out of it.
  16. That's the part I don't get. The Opener is just a reliever used in a way where you know who they will be facing.
  17. I'll happily move this discussion to another off topic board. Any thread but the around baseball actually.
  18. So f***ing much wrong with this post. Beyond using rape to describe a trade ( there are several here that report every time it happens), misspelling Beane to Bean (Billy Bean), and talking about dildo in his ass is just brutal.
  19. Just wait until there are 2 or 3 position players on the field who are pitchers as well.
  20. Current need. Rays method of handling their staff they need all of their arms. They must have felt that Burke couldn't contribute this year. In the end it's a reliever for a likely reliever trade and Rays OF defense and it's 60 DRS should let Pagan thrive when he keeps it in the park.
  21. I forgot to mention that one about the podcast. I agree with you that we have to stop giving Shapiro credit for baseball moves. Ban the Shatkins!
  22. Shapiro's biggest project now is making the Rogers Centre something other than a hunk of concrete. Rogers isn't sending him anywhere right now
  23. Tercet is allowed in minor league stadiums and Atlanta being top 5 is the most egregious thing Laika has ever lifted from Fangraphs
