You should join the LoD next time we have an opening.
-
Confirmed.
-
I'd give you a gross pick for him before rage dropping him after a couple weeks of destroyed ratios.
-
Another day of rest for young Vladdy.
-
Is Mike Fiers the worst pitcher to ever throw multiple no-hitters?
-
Fun fact: I benched Humber for that start in DDL.

I see. It seems pretty unlikely that a player who has been completely overmatched in his tenure at AAA will be a competent big leaguer.
-
Why?
-
I take it back.
-
Sanchez has actually turned it around and had a decent start.
-
"McKinney is off to a decent start" - Buck Martinez Meanwhile, in reality he has a 67 wRC+ and -0.3 fWAR.
-
Vladdy
-
Yup. The same defense that's bailed him out all year despite him being maybe the worst pitcher in baseball through 8 starts.
-
Sanchez's BB/9 is at 6 now. I believe that's a new season high.
-
This guy f***ing sucks.
-
Had time to start this in the 5 minutes Sanchez is taking between pitches.

https://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/8950-Blue-Jays-acquire-OF-Sócrates-Brito-from-the-Padres/page4?highlight=Brito This is the Brito acquisition thread. It’s interesting because a) it’s almost entirely good posters, and there are almost no complaints about his acquisition. And there shouldn’t have been. He was free, and a toolsy guy with success at AAA. -
Who else?
-
The only people who have really complained about taking a flier on Brito are the casuals. Hanson, on the other hand, was a f***ing embarrassment.
-
It’s objectively a good thing if Vlad sees a lot of pitches outside the zone.
-
I thought they did alright with the bargain deals. Shoemaker was a great signing, and Buchholz showed enough last year to make him interesting at the price they paid.
-
Hernandez would not be blocked by Brantley. A fictional toolsy OF who is not currently in the org is who would be ‘blocked’ by Brantley. You’re saying you’d rather have literally nothing than have Brantley, because that nothing is a roster spot that could be filled by a bad replacement level player who suddenly becomes good. Let’s say Houston calls and offers Brantley for Brito on the condition that you roster Brantley all year. You say no because you don’t want the roster spot taken?
-
We're already cycling through a dozen replacement-level players. The idea that adding 3 good players in the offseason would have been bad because we'd have 3 fewer spots to devote to replacement level players doesn't make much sense to me. If Charlie Morton is here instead of Clay Buchholz and the team sees an intriguing arm on the waiver they want to look at, they just option Pannone. Or option Mayza. Or DFA Law. Intriguing OF hits the wire and Brantley is here instead of Brito? Option McKinney or Hernandez.
-
I just disagree with the premise that anything is sacrificed by adding a few decent vets. If the team had signed, say, Brantley and Morton and kept Pillar, what's the downside? We'd have seen niether of Brito and Hanson, and probably not signed Buchholz.
