  1. We're talking less than a month for the service time argument. That's like a fraction of a run for a relief pitcher.
  2. If you have to ask...
  3. Why not? You're talking about less than a run of lost value if you hold him back for service time reasons, and that's IF Castro is good. The extra year of service time comes at no tangible cost.
  4. You brought Wainwright up last week and you were told by multiple people that the two situations aren't similar at all. Of course you're here making the comparison again.
  5. I'm not sure what it is you think we should be discussing on this forum dedicated to Toronto Blue Jays discussion. Thread - Osuna made the team 1st response = "I sure hope he does well." /thread
  6. Why not wait until the situation necessitates it though? Even when you're trying to win, you can't just fly off the handle and abandon all reason. We know, objectively, that Castro is very unlikely to be more than a few runs better than Guilmet/Lopez/Delabar/West this year, if he's better at all. Why not try to get through the season without using him, given the low potential reward? If at midseason he's tearing through NH and you need a pen arm, sure, give him a call. But choosing him now, with an 8-man pen, when you've cut a bunch of other arms that are probably as good in 2015, seems silly.
  7. You're the worst.
  8. Yeah, him too lol.
  9. http://heritageaction.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Strawman.jpg
  10. Yes. I don't trust professional scouts to watch a guy and determine whether or not he'll be a quality major leaguer, so I regard my own scouting opinion to be complete garbage.
  11. I don't understand how anyone can be so assured that he's going to dominate this year. He didn't even dominate A-ball last year and he's going to step into the majors and dominate this year? I mean, he could. His stuff is good. But objectively that's pretty unlikely.
  12. West/Lopez/Guilmet are probably at least as good right now.
  13. His spring has been pretty terrible lol. 10BB 11K 16R in 22IP. I wonder how long he'll last in the rotation.
  14. Remember when we thought the team had signed Belisario and everyone was happy but you?
  15. God hates Steve Delabar
  16. I don't know that it would be bold to bet against a 1.5-2 win rookie season. I can see taking the over though.
  17. I didn't say that's what I'd do, but I wouldn't have criticized the team for going in that direction. You could probably scrape an 85 wRC+ and league average defense out of a Tolleson/Kawasaki platoon at the cost of your 8th reliever. Travis is probably better than that, but maybe not.
  18. Holy crap, Sanchez walked 6 guys today? Can anyone tell me how competitive they were?
  19. I don't disagree. Just not really sure where Tolleson fits in. As a RH 3B, he's blocked by Valencia, 2B by Travis, and LF by Pillar. I feel like Travis making the team makes Tolleson completely redundant.
  20. Given what's currently in house, Kawasaki makes a lot of sense. He can cover short without embarrassing himself, and start at 2B against tougher RHP. If you're concerned about losing Tolleson, platoon him and Kawasaki at 2B and have Travis waiting at AAA.
  21. It's a shame. The foundation was laid early in the offseason for a great team after some legitimately excellent moves, then he just kind of stopped. We go through the same thing every March though.
  22. A backup catcher who can't catch, no 4th OF, no platoon partner for Pillar, no second IF who can play short, and an 8-man pen that includes two 20-year olds that should be starting in A+. After the amazing offseason moves, the final product should be more cohesive than this.
  23. I don't think they have anywhere near the payroll space for that. And things get a lot more tight after this year.
  24. Sooo happy about this. North would have won $20 from me if he weren't dumn
