    Why bother? He was poor in 20 innings this year, so anyone who ever said he's a good pitcher should be mocked. The torontobluejays messageboards way.
  2. BTS
    Because the better Juan Francisco is a photographer.
  3. BTS
    Why the hell are people quoting CHP?
  4. BTS
    Mad jelly of that offense.
  5. BTS
    It's only useless commentary in the same way every post on this forum is useless commentary. There just isn't a basis for the belief that guys like Mills, Rasmussen, McGowan and Sanchez are better pitchers ROS than Santos and Rogers. I'm sorry that you don't like that opinion.

    My goal in this league from the start has been to prioritize offense over pitching, and somehow I've managed to have a bottom-five offense and the best pitching staff in the league this year. #doingitwrong

    After 20 innings of inflated ERA ball the FO has decided that Rogers and Santos are worse pitchers than Rasmussen, Mills, Sanchez, and McGowan. This org is awful.

    Just fielding 2015 team on par with the 2013 and 2014 versions on a $130 million payroll is going to take incredibly shrewd management. It will be very interesting to see what happens to guys like Santos, Happ, Morrow, and McGowan. They all have options, but fitting them under a $130 million payroll will be very difficult. And then there's Janssen, who they certainly shouldn't retain, but probably will.

    More evasion and half-truths. If the team can't go beyond $132 this year in a pennant race, there's no reason to expect them to next year. And as things stand they're at $95-100 million committed, but with no 2B, CF, LF, bench or bullpen and only 4 starting pitchers. So they have "flexibility", but a lot of holes to fill with ~$30 million.

    Mattias Janmark if he's available.
  11. BTS
    I'm not a huge believer in his team this year. He has some very nice pieces, but IMO he lacks the depth. Given his success so far this year it does make for an interesting decision for him.
  12. BTS
    Nope. Getting that man to actually listen and respond to an offer on one of his guys is like pulling teeth.
  13. BTS
    Temporarily back on top of the MC Division. Sammy falling out of it?
  14. BTS
    Wait, the Rays aren't the worst team in the AL?!
  15. BTS
    Lewis is an idiot who's bad at baseball.
  16. BTS
    He's 22.
  17. BTS
    Jamie Moyer is probably my favourite baseball player ever.
  18. BTS
    I'm actually pretty excited about this. I love Brad Mills.
  19. BTS
    Regardless of the state of the bullpen, adding a likely replacement-level (or worse) arm is not a solution.
  20. BTS
    The issue is that there is absolutely no reason to believe that Sanchez can help.
  21. BTS
    Even 110 would surprise me at this point TBH. But I also hate him profoundly after wasting my 2nd round pick on him, so there's that. Also, I sent you a proboards PM.
  22. BTS
    Eww. Lawrie looks like a 95-105 wRC+ guy while Rendon looks like a 120+ wRC+ guy IMO.
  23. BTS
    I'm with Boxy here. If the Royals are acquiring 2.5 cheap years of Edwin you're looking at something like Zimmer/Manaea + Dozier/Mondesi +. Edwin's value is astronomical.
  24. BTS
    I don't like counting my chickens before they hatch. Most likely scenario is that one of Hoffman, Norris, Osuna, and Sanchez becomes an average or better starter. And by that time one of Hutch/Stroman might have become a pumpkin. Projected rotations 2-3 years down the road never ever ever come close to working out. At least Hutch and Stroman are currently adequate starters in the majors.
  25. BTS
    Scorched earth. All of the team's best players are old as s***. Current players on the roster I'm penciling in for contention in three years would look something like: SP - Stroman SP - Hutchison OF - Gose 3B/2B - Lawrie So two mid-rotation starters, a 2-3 win infielder, and a nifty 4th OF. If there were more pieces in place it might make sense to keep one or both of Edwin and Bautista through the rebuild, but that doesn't make sense for two reasons: 1) they are far and away the team's two most valuable assets and rebuilding without trading them in for multiple pieces would be difficult, and 2) this isn't going to be a 1-2 year retool. The organization is devoid of young talent that projects to help significantly in the majors in the next 3-4 years. It could be 5 years before the team is ready to win, and at that point Edwin and Bautista will be on the wrong side of 35. Tear it all down .
