He means Oh was not made available to the media after the game, you guys.

Bringsteen?

They really do. FWIW, a lot of baseball people in the public sphere already expect Contreras will be a top 5 Yankees prospect by this time next season.

This would please me. Or a Roansy Contreras in there somewhere before he blows right the f*** up on the prospect scene. It's probably already too late for him, though. He's garnering tons of hype by the start.

Some of you, seemingly, will be very disappointed with the Happ return, even though we may yet end up with a pretty nice little haul for just three months of his services. I believe in Shatkins but they're not miracle workers, so get the thoughts of Frazier (and prospects of a similar ilk) out of your heads now because that is clearly a pipe dream; the market for rentals has changed almost entirely in the last couple of seasons. Couple that point with the fact that prospect valuation is finally more in line with where it always should've been - mostly thanks to analytics and the continued evolution of advanced metrics - and you'll see that Frazier for three months of Happ is absurd.

6 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 4 BB, 11 K. Just another day at the office for Josh James.

It's a survivor pool that runs for the entire week.

So if the Jays get less in return for Happ than what Krylian envisioned all along, how would you know it's because his value dropped and not just because you overvalued his market in the first place?

This is a good thing.

Yes! One - a pilot.

Hmm. You may be on to something here. Perhaps we should talk about this in something resembling a podcast or whatever.

The Blue Jays are shopping players including J.A. Happ, Yangervis Solarte and Marco Estrada, but Toronto's asking price for its players "is extremely high," according to one executive. Happ seems to be the most likely to be traded, though Solarte -- who has a $5.5 million club option for 2019 and a $8 million club option for '20 -- could be an attractive piece for many contenders based on his versatility. The most puzzling situation for the Blue Jays involves Josh Donaldson, the former American League MVP Award winner who has played only 36 games this season because of injuries. Donaldson has been out since May 28 and might not be back before the July 31 Deadline. Donaldson is still owed about $11 million for the rest of the season, so there's a good chance he'll pass through waivers in August, making him a candidate for a trade next month. Given that he's set to become a free agent after the season, Toronto is hoping to deal him and bring back a prospect or two before he signs elsewhere this offseason. https://www.mlb.com/news/deadline-chatter-on-ja-happ-angels-cards/c-287099870?tid=282421090

I'm sorry, but I just can't bare to see you incorrectly post Bohemian even once more. He's Bahamian.

Is there a prospect in baseball more criminally underrated than Isaac Paredes? He gets zero love from any prospect publication, yet the numbers he put up in the Florida State League this season at 19 more than hold their own to the numbers put up by the majority of the elite teenagers that have played in the league in the past decade: [TABLE=width: 608] [TR] [TD]Name[/TD] [TD]Year[/TD] [TD]Age[/TD] [TD]PA[/TD] [TD]BB%[/TD] [TD]K%[/TD] [TD]BABIP[/TD] [TD]wRC+[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jesus Montero[/TD] [TD]2009[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]198[/TD] [TD]7.1[/TD] [TD]13.1[/TD] [TD]0.381[/TD] [TD]185[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Vladimir Guerrero Jr.[/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]18[/TD] [TD]209[/TD] [TD]17.2[/TD] [TD]13.4[/TD] [TD]0.365[/TD] [TD]179[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Giancarlo Stanton[/TD] [TD]2009[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]210[/TD] [TD]13.3[/TD] [TD]21.4[/TD] [TD]0.331[/TD] [TD]178[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Byron Buxton[/TD] [TD]2013[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]253[/TD] [TD]12.6[/TD] [TD]19.4[/TD] [TD]0.404[/TD] [TD]155[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bo Bichette[/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]182[/TD] [TD]7.7[/TD] [TD]14.3[/TD] [TD]0.360[/TD] [TD]145[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jake Bauers[/TD] [TD]2015[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]249[/TD] [TD]11.6[/TD] [TD]13.3[/TD] [TD]0.291[/TD] [TD]142[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Ronald Acuna[/TD] [TD]2017[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]126[/TD] [TD]6.3[/TD] [TD]31.7[/TD] [TD]0.411[/TD] [TD]135[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Isaac Paredes[/TD] [TD]2018[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]347[/TD] [TD]9.2[/TD] [TD]15.6[/TD] [TD]0.274[/TD] [TD]126[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jon Singleton[/TD] [TD]2011[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]382[/TD] [TD]14.7[/TD] [TD]21.7[/TD] [TD]0.352[/TD] [TD]126[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Andres Gimenez[/TD] [TD]2018[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]351[/TD] [TD]6.3[/TD] [TD]19.9[/TD] [TD]0.343[/TD] [TD]123[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Willy Adames[/TD] [TD]2015[/TD] [TD]19[/TD] [TD]456[/TD] [TD]11.8[/TD] [TD]27[/TD] [TD]0.356[/TD] [TD]121[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]J.P.

Looks like an A grade draft to me, fellas. Well done.

SRF has a SwStr% of, like, 13 this season. Just a tasty nug to snack on for you doubters out there.

I <3 you, Randal!

I'll take Ryan McKenna. Connor back up for two.
