If his framing is ok this isn't terrible. -
How's his framing? If it's average he should be fine as a cheap backup.

General 2017 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

I think it's very questionable if Desmond is actually a 1B. Valbuena has been a better hitter over the last few years and has played the position before. I'm pretty convinced Desmond is a < 1 win 1B.
-
Broxton + Kazmir for Gio Gonzalez + Gsellman
-
Jesus Christ. I paid a lot more for him in DDL.
-
Valbuena gets 2/15. Ian Desmond gets 5/70 (plus a pick was punted), and is still penciled in as a 1B. Is Ian Desmond a better 1B than Luis Valbuena?
-
I keep Kepler over a few of the guys you're keeping. The rest seems fine to me.
-
Still no bites on Asdrubal. A reliable SP4 type is all I'm looking for here. Can be an old guy.
-
I'm craving baseball so f***ing bad right now.
-
Omg omg

How soon after yahoo opens do we usually do the waiver draft?
-
Meh, let each league do their own thing. I don't think we have to reconcile DDL compensation with LoD compensation. Also, I'm tired of discussing the value of a guy who died.
-
Not sure how I feel about assigning a waiver pick. People have proceeded all offseason as though the top waiver picks have a distinct value based on the 1-2 guys projected to be available. I don't think you can mess with that now by giving a pick at he very top of the waiver draft. To me, 20b MiLB is the solution that provides the most value while stepping on the fewest number of toes.
-
If you're going to go the compensation route, I think it has to be a pick at the end of the first round (MiLB), because if it's any later it's not worth anything anyway and there's no reason to even bother. So given that the 'compensation' side appears to have won, I vote for pick 20b.
-
Nah, he was a DDL MiLB pick. Dinger was joking though.
-
I traded for Shawn Tolleson before the 2016 season. I hope that POS finds his way out of baseball.
-
We need to find a place to put the league constitution now that the site is dead, but we use the DDL constitution, including the following rule: Ultimately our interpretation is that compensation is intended to help a team stay afloat in the event that they lose a franchise building block and have been crippled by it. Nobody wants to haggle about the appropriate compensation in the event of tragic deaths, and it's largely unnecessary in cases where a team's long term future has not been hindered in any significant way. Considereing that value for Ventura consistent with what was provided for Fernandez would be essentially irrelevant to the team receiving it, we don't think there's a reason to go down that road.
-
Spittin and I have decided that there won't be any compensation for Ventura. To date, the only compensation has been for Fernandez, and we don't want to set the precedent of compensating owners in every situation in which a player dies. Also, the compensation for Fernandez relative to his trade value was pretty small, and similar compensation for Ventura would be a nearly irrelevant asset anyway.
-
f*** yes.
-
I want to know how any of you nerds even know who this apparently s***** AAA backup catcher is.
-
wat when?
-
Agreed. For me right now the best options are Smith, Romo, Blanton, or Holland. I'd easily take any of them over the best lefty.
-
The fact that Feliz, at 29 and coming off a good year (albeit cut short by an arm injury), only got 1/5.8 should bode well for getting 1-2 of those guys on reasonable 1-year deals.
-
For reasons I've already stated, I vote for no compensation.
