  1. They are pretty stupid for paying extra for that privilege.
  2. Though a relevant example of terrible analysis on your part. The Dickey trade was horrifyingly bad from the second it was announced, even if Dickey had been an average arm to this point.
  3. According to reliable sources, Aaron Sanchez was the only prospect they deemed untouchable in any trade.
  4. I can't really understand what is going on tbh
  5. Where trade for = mysteriously acquire for free

    I don't think anyone cares enough about Drake to know this, hence the joke falling flat.
  7. Yeah I don't think AA looks at that at all. High ERA: he sucks.
  8. I didn't I just wanted to stick it to the man.
  9. Why would people go out of their way to not shop at Loblaws? This is why I have that idiot on ignore.
  10. You're right, I shoulda benched Harvey against the Cards. Because sometimes benching an ace is the right move for some reason.

  12. The Giants are so incomprehensibly stupid. If you're constantly using Petit to clean up after s***** starters, why not just let him...I don't know, start games in the first place?
  13. Yet you listed Delmon Young as irrelevant when he was the key cog in one of TB's most successful trades...do you see a recurring theme here? The reason the Jays were brought into the picture is because, in the past, you have consistently overstated the Blue Jays drafting record while understating the drafting record of other teams, like the Rays. I'd let Nox argue the rest because he has far more knowledge about this stuff than I do, but it's not like the Rays went off the board. The guys they took were all expected to go around where they did. I remember people dying to get Taylor Guerrieri before Beede was picked, a lot of people wanted Josh Sale, Mikie Mahtook went where he was supposed to (and will still probably be more relevant than Aaron Sanchez), and Beckham wasn't even a cost saving pick: "Beckham was rated by publications such as Baseball America as the top high school baseball prospect in the nation.[1] Beckham is described as a potential five tool player at the major league level. Beckham runs the 60 yard dash in 6.33 seconds, and bench presses 200 lbs. He stands 6'0" and weighs 190 lbs." - from Wikipedia. I bet most teams would have taken him #1. There's no way to know for certain. What you seem to be trying to do is take an extremely inexact science and push it as something it's not. The Rays got kind of unlucky, but they haven't done poorly. Like Nox, I am, unfortunately, a Jays fan. The Rays aren't even my second favourite team.
  14. Kenley Jansen just had a 4 strikeout inning
