Pomz is just a guy. Needs to figure something else out in order to be a real asset in a 20 team league, but the profile is right on the cusp of goodness.
When you get offered a 26 year old Oakland SP with upside for your 32 year old soft tossing holds guy:

No.
Plenty of pitchers have existed at his age. Plenty of pitchers sit ~94. Plenty of pitchers get groundballs. Plenty of pitchers have s*** command.
Only Blue Jays fans who don't really watch other teams think that Sanchez is some f***ing unicorn talent.
I wonder how bad Dickey is for gate business. When I go to my few games per year, really my only purchasing criteria is that it cannot be an RA Dickey start. Why would anyone pay to sit in the seats and watch him pitch?
So Campbell just said that Gregg Zaun doesn't like the stat BABIP, then they both said that Buchholz' BABIP against of over .400 means he's getting squared up and centre cutting pitches.
And then after that, Gregg Zaun said that they should just rename BABIP "luck" because that's all it is.
Ugh. Holy f***. Please just stick to ERA.
Hot take incoming - you can be a hardcore Jays fan who thinks that the best thing for both Aaron Sanchez and the team is for him to be a reliever ASAP.
You can also be a hardcore Jays fan and think that the best thing Toronto can do is sell Sanchez while he still has prospect allure.
His framing runs on BP took a positive jump recently. Up to 9th, +2 runs.
Joseph +5, Grandal +4.5 lead the way.
Framing runs make him #3, behind Dee and Trout. The "being Dee Gordon" penalty makes Dee ineligible, so Martin is #2 behind Fish.
Oh look, Russ Martin is the best C in baseball: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=c&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0
Rodon just hit 99 in the 6th
He should be annoyingly awesome, IF the arm stays on his body.
That's a big if though. Hence my capitalization of it.
Meanwhile, Greg Bird it hitting like .190 in AA.
You are a genius and have constructed a time machine, but you can only use it once and then you lose the machine and the knowledge of how to do it. The choice you have is as follows:
A) Go back to the 1930s and murder Hitler
Go back to 2000 and sabotage Anthopoulos' mailroom work with the Expos so they give him a bad reference
