Matt Olson also played some OF

Salty leaves fans imo

Noda, Young, Stevenson OF. Pretty sexy.

Either that or Vancouver.

Yeah but pitching prospects are stupid

Lansing roster: https://www.milb.com/lansing/news/blue-jays-1st-rounder-groshans-headlines-2019-lansing-lugnuts/c-305834184 Interesting names: Eric Pardinho, Josh Winckowski, Jordan Groshans, Alejandro Kirk, Otto Lopez Damn, that will be a fun team to follow

Yeah, he was on Bluefield last year. Not all of the rosters are updated.

Ah f*** I'll hand it to him, that was pretty good

Looks like Eric Pardinho will be starting the year in full season ball. He's listed on the Lugnuts' roster.

Ah, you lucky duck. BTS' favourite vacation spot, I bet he's real jealous.

What sources are these?

Also an inaccurate description of events. That kid's dad deserved to be cussed out.

Looks like there's a small chance the Leaves could miss the playoffs. You know, those same playoffs that literally half the league qualifies for. Lol go leaves go

Only 5 ip is lame, though

Yeah better start the rebuild.

Obviously that's the case. A first rounder is going to have a lot more rope than a third rounder.

It does seem silly, though, that we have real time data showing definitively whether a ball is a strike and yet still solely rely on a blind old f*** to make that call with no electronic assistance.

I miss Gibby already

Mookie Betts picked 172nd Christian Yelich picked 23rd Aaron Judge picked 32nd Matt Chapman picked 25th J.D. Martinez picked 611th Andrelton Simmons picked 70th Nolan Arenado picked 59th Lorenzo Cain picked 496th Freddie Freeman picked 78th Paul Goldschmidt picked 246th Matt Carpenter picked 399th Trevor Story picked 25th Jacob deGrom picked 272nd Corey Kluber picked 134th Blake Snell picked 52nd Edwin Diaz picked 98th Josh Hader picked 582nd Definitely seems to be a lot more high pick superstars on the pitching side, but with position players it's almost a crapshoot. Considering drafting pitching is normally not a great idea, it probably doesn't matter if we have a high pick or not. That also doesn't count Jose Ramirez who was an unheralded international sign.

What are you talking about, Grant? Byron Buxton was destined to suck and adopt a ground ball, all fields approach even if it doesn't suit him. No amount of coaching could have prevented him from becoming a bust.

I warned you guys about the Portuguese

You amuse me, so it's an activity I enjoy. Some would say that insane conspiracy theorists are low hanging fruit, and I guess that's true but I'm ok with that. The Astros weren't planned to be bad. They were bad because their front office was bad. They improved their front office and were no longer bad. New York has had a great front office for over 20 years, and since the death of The Boss, they've cut spending substantially, yet never really ever ended up in the toilet. They've consistently had excellent farm systems while almost always picking at the back of the draft. Player development and knowing what to value in players is far more important than where you pick. The Jays grabbed Nate Pearson. The Jays grabbed Jordan Groshans. The Jays grabbed Bo Bichette. How many guys who were picked ahead of them are now behind them on prospect rankings? Almost all of them. The Jays have a top 3 farm while not having a top 10 pick in a really long time. The Orioles have sucked ass for more years than not, as have the Twins and neither has much to show for it. Cheering for your team to lose is dumb. Maybe it doesn't hurt the players involved but it certainly doesn't help, and more revenue is better than less revenue.

Oh yes, how could they possibly have won the WS minus a single 3 win player

I believe we call this "The Streisand Effect"

Jim doesn't live in the real world. He lives in some kind of weird dystopian future that he likely wrote about in one of his erotic fan fiction novels, where Russia controls everything and losing is a way of life. Except for Jim who gets to bang the wives of multiple billionaires.
