I don't think the Navarro thing is that weird. Navarro is a replacement-level player making $5 million. AA is likely trying to get an asset for him. Trying to get assets for players that make more money than they're worth doesn't usually end well. The only justification for the proposals thrown around on this site is "the D-Backs are dumn, so AA should be able to get a good reliever from them".
-
Beachy is exactly the type of arm they should be in on. His arm is probably going to fall off. But maybe it doesn't and he gives you 2-3 wins. Or maybe it falls off after he gives you 100 good innings.
-
Not exactly. People point this out as a roster flaw every March, and AA's teams have historically been among the worst in the league at giving tons of PA/innings to replacement-level talent (or worse). It's a huge flaw of this group.
-
It would also be nice to add another starter that projects for like 1-2 wins. Dickey Stroman Buehrle Hutchison new guy Estrada (pen, ~ 1-win starter maybe) Norris (AAA) and then into the likely replacement-level guys
-
AA has definitely had a nice offseason, but it's still incomplete. Given the ages of the team's top players and the projected cost of retaining this group going forward, this roster needs to be bolstered as much as possible. There are still issues that should be addressed: - The team is projected to be replacement-level at 2B. - Jose Reyes is now 32, has not exactly been a model of health, and there currently isn't a player on the 40-man who can cover short and be better than replacement-level. - Dioner Navarro is a complete waste of a roster spot and is still on the 25-man. - CF is a Pillar/Pompey platoon, and there is nothing outside the four outfielders that has much chance of being above replacement-level. The OF is currently very vulnerable to injury or disappointing play from their unproven CF platoon. - Bullpen is probably going to be below-average. As has always been the case under his tenure, the roster looks like it will be incomplete entering the season.
-
Yup. I really hate the interruption of the schedule. I'd prefer to watch any two teams play a regular season game than watch an all-star game.
-
Yeah. AA can't be too happy about this. Dan Duquette is a GM. That's his background and skill set. He's going to want a say in how he roster is constructed, and as AA's boss his opinion will matter. AA loses a lot of autonomy if Duquette us brought in. Ed Rogers has managed to alienate his current President and current GM, piss off the White Sox and Orioles, and made the team look like a complete clown show in the media.
-
Holy f***. That's embarrassing.

Why are most Jays fans on here so high on Hutch's future?
BTS replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Marcum was the best. -
Like JFaS said, that's not really representative of the quality of his season.
-
Why not just sign K-rod?
-
Hiring a young assistant GM to be team president would be ridiculous, as would promoting AA into the position. I don't faukt them for not chasing Zaidi.
-
Wow, guys like Mitch Marner and Dylan Strome are putting up numbers that would have them 1st overall in a lot of years. Edit; I guess Strome plays on a line with McDavid, so there's that. Everything I'm reading on Marner has him sounding pretty legit though.

BTS replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
What's not to like? He's 24, just threw 32 starts in a season with a 3.82 xFIP and looks like at least an average SP going forward. -
I think you know that baseball coaches/managers/executives leave organizations all the time while under contract and that it isn't at all analagous to a player doing the same.
-
Wow
-
A few things: - Reading through this thread for news and seeing 5 pages of people responding to a Baltimore troll that isn't even subtle about it is disappointing. - Dan Norris is annoying. - Dan Duquette almost certainly isn't worth this circus. - I'm getting more and more concerned that Ed Rogers is going to do something stupid.
-
So how far apart are McDavid and Eichel from the 2nd tier? Is consensus still that there's a massive drop?
-
Yes. At least Friedman. I'm confident that he can transform the entire organization from the President's spot.
-
Anthony Gose is less than 5 months older than Devon Travis and has proven that he has the skill set to contribute at the major league level while Travis hasn't left AA. I like Travis as a prospect, but it's far from guaranteed that he has the better career. I'm not even saying I don't like the trade - I think it's a fair deal. Jarrod Dyson has put up 8 wins in less than 1000 PA with a very similar skill set to Gose's.
-
This isn't true.
-
IMO the Travis trade is a wash and the bottom 4 are unlikely to yield much of anything, but yeah, this offseason has been amazing.
-
I really can't abide a hipster on that level.
-
Core isn't that good brah
-
GD, please remind me again about the Leafs super awesome core. Thx.
