I love Danny Jansen but I won't let myself get excited about him until he hits in AA. Alford's BABIP is a bit high but you'd basically expect a good prospect in the MWL to BABIP .400. The Blue Jays had his hit tool as one of the best in the entire 2012 draft class, so maybe he's just barreling everything right now.

After getting a couple in-game looks at him already this spring, you can see he's much more comfortable and relaxed at the plate. The strong and athletic frame looks as good as ever as well. I saw a much more selective approach at the plate, which will allow his solid bat-to-ball ability to play up. Timing was his biggest issue when I saw him, but this early in spring, that should be expected. In the field, Alford has the speed to cover an insane amount of ground, but he shows a natural ability to get great reads on the ball right off the bat, only amplifying how dynamic he can be defensively. While there is plenty of risk still involved here, you'd be hard pressed to find another prospect with his breakout potential this year. –Chris King

Yahoo treats Steve Pearce like a slap hitting SS now. .404 wOBA last year = "a little sneaky pop"

I mean, if Vogelsong, Danks, and Dickey were FAs in the LoD, I might not even add them. Yet here they were, for a brief moment in time, as your 20 team workhorses. Special trio

holy f*** the back end of your rotation is hilarious holy f***

And now for some more interesting news: Tsuyoshi Wada is back in the majors and dominating. 7 K's in 3 innings on just 39 pitches.

That seems more than fair for Longoria. He's an upper tier 3B, obviously, but he seems to be done as the 140 wRC+ player that he once was.

Inverted W champion Chris O'Leary Follow him on twitter for wonderful laughs like such as how we should have all seen Cliff Lee's elbow issues coming because he twists his wrist a bit when throwing certain pitches. Or, how Ottavino was doomed because he was a "heel lander" with his front foot.

Tyson Ross probably is my most obvious timebomb going though
-
He's a scary one. Also initiates trunk rotation while his PAS forearm is still horizontal + his second toe is >1cm longer than his big toe. Both of those are huge mechanical red flags.

That's the biggest hashtag ump show that I can remember. Unfortunately, the ump has discretion under rule 56.01(f) in the CBA...

Don't stat scout too hard, Boxy. Any real scout would trade Pollock for Appel.

You mean you don't obsessively monitor the ones you trade away? What is wrong with you...

Can't decide which post to post. 1) Don't stat scout too hard, Boxy. Any real scout would trade Pollock for Appel. or 2) Let me know the next time you stumble upon a decent bat. I've got some fringe prospects that I could clear out. thoughts?

Pavel Datsyuk is arguably the best player in hockey still

Wasting Hoffman bullets in A ball while the MLB rotation is junk smh

Richest team in a salary cap league. Might as well spend it where you can.

Saunders out an additional 4-6 weeks
Laika replied to burlingtonbandit's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Trade was great in context, and it still might work out. Saunders is under control for 2016 too (Happ isn't). But right now it sure would be nice to have Happ
