    For example, Angrioter just took a 12 year old IFA from this summer's class top 10 in the BBDL draft.

    thanks, I needed that.

    Dude had an OPS over 1.100 in his first year of pro ball, which included some time as a 21 year old in AA. Just can't hit big league pitching, I guess.

    Singer officially not signing. It really doesn't matter. When you get these protected picks back next year, you might as well go for higher upside / tougher signs. I don't mind the draft strategy. Beede --> Stroman Bickford --> Pentecost Singer --> ??? They've also managed to sign guys like Norris and Smoral, who were in the same mold as Singer. When the only potential cost is a lost year, just use the compensation pick and draft a college dude.

    Most certainly. Like every time a Boston sports team trades someone, and then the world finds out that they were either soft or a clubhouse cancer or put mayonnaise on their french fries.

    I don't even remember any rumours about Bickford having a bad physical

    longer does not = better. ask yer mum
  9. Laika
    Beede didn't - he just wanted more money. You're wrong, so, umm.. there's that.

    super hard to have a long and productive career behind the dish! s***, Brian McCann is the 32nd best C in history. Russell Martin is 34th! They are both better ranked as catchers than Delgado and Giambi rank as 1B (and they still have plenty of time to add WAR). Really when you compare careers with WAR, you sort of have to give catchers another positional adjustment... maybe. arguably.

    No, this is just the Jays MO. They draft highly and fail to sign a high school RHP every year, lol.

    Nobody thinks he was. In his prime though, he wasn't much different than Mike Trout. Definitely not overrated...

    Holy f***! Glasnow has a 2.4 BB/9 and a 0.88 whip. Better than Urias?

    I feel sorry for everyone that is unfortunate enough to interact with you in real life. Make no mistake, I am firmly on the Hoffman bandwagon, just disappointed that Toronto wants to possibly give him Sanchez' s***** tall and fall mechanics. I'm sure you predicted Toronto's developmental decision when you looked at his K rate as a sophomore though.

    Looking forward to his knee exploding, and the future Stroman-Kopech 1-2 in Cincinnati.
  20. Laika
    oof. Michael Kopech suspended 50 games for a stimulant PED.
  21. Laika
    Just a few simple inputs: age, position, wRC+/FIP. Maybe FBv or K-BB% or some other things. Run the machine, bing bang boom, the best and most accurate top 100 available.
  22. Laika
    Seriously? I guess they've probably drafted pitching well, how much of this is a product of simply taking lots of pitchers I don't know, but I don't really think there's much evidence for this regime being any good at "developing" arms. We've seen a lot of guys scuffle at various levels (Labourt, Tirado, Sanchez, Smoral, Norris) including the big leagues (Hutchison, Boyd, Castro, Sanchez, Norris). Essentially everyone but Stroman and Osuna could be better, or could have been better here. We've also seen several guys leave the organization and seemingly improve (Henderson, Syndergaard, DeSclafani, Sam Dyson, Graveman?). Basically, if the Blue Jays were actually any good at "developing" pitching, then they'd have better pitching right now.

    Also, BA got pillaged and MLB.com is now a legitimate source of rankings. The landscape of internet top 100's for baseball prospects is dynamic as f***.
  24. Laika
    Project Prospect used to do WAR updates comparing all the old top 100s. Generally, BP was the worst IIRC. BA was good in some years, Frank Peliere was good in others, and ESPN was kind of in the middle. Obviously, Project Prospect was tops. Adam Foster was a prospecting savant who unfortunately had children before his time.
