I'll answer that with a question: What percentage of your posts:
A) further the discission of baseball and the Blue Jays

Amuse, distract, stir up s***

2 HR in 141 PA in rookie ball this year
I appreciate this point
I guess the feeling is that we would have all our prospects and a lot of financial flexibility. We'd have Bautista Lawrie Escobar Edwin Lind and Rasmus and could now be buying free agents and trading depth to fill holes. The truth is I don't know that it would be any easier because free agents still don't seem to went to come here (AFAIK) and the price for SP via trade is crazy. He'd probably still be in waiting mode and trying to build a rotation from among Sanchez Stroman Synd Nicolino over the next couple years. He had been counting on Romero and Morrow for 2013 and the season would probably have been a massive disaster anyway. Attendance and TV ratings would not have surged from any buzz.
It IS a high risk, high reward farm by the sounds of it
Seemingly just how AA likes it
When you have a stretch with that many high draft picks you can do that I suppose
Hmmmm. Sounds familliar. Where have I heard this one before?? Toolsy, athletic with high K rates, "hopefully" can learn to hit. Oh, wait...

I can feel myself getting way too attached to this guy
Need to temper expetations of both his success and likelihood of being on the Jays in 2014
Dammit that's hard to do right now when everything else feels so bleak

"He throws in the mid 90's. He has a COMPLETE repetoire. AND he throws strikes. That's what I like most about him. Marcus Stroman throws strikes."
