    yes, yes, maybe.

    I'll post this here because it's very interesting. Kiley McDaniel stated today that there are rumours Brady Aiken's injury issues are worse than the "clean TJS" which only dropped guys like Hoffman, Giolito, and Fedde into the mid first round. He said the rumours point to something that could be potentially career threatening, or more mildly just an increased injury risk going forward (structural abnormality?). Toronto picks 29th. I wonder...

    I love both leagues. The DDL has a really great group of managers, most importantly. But it also has a nearly perfect cutoff point for players and prospects, where you can field a full team without rostering any pieces of garbage and the top of the free agent list is still semi-interesting. The LOD is like a sim league. You guys are being too hard on Fantrax. It's benefits vs. Yahoo vastly outweigh its burdens. I can get past outdated UI in a second if the website is going to give all of the information and capabilities that Fantrax offers. Yahoo's UI f***ing sucks too. It's tailored for 12 team league newbs who use it on tablets and mobile devices... not great for a deep 20 team dynasty league full of spreadsheeters.

    Yeah they probably thought it was just a very mild oblique thing that could go away without rest. The questionable thing for me is that they publicly stated that Tolleson was going to play short against a LHP on Saturday and Reyes would get a scheduled off day. They said that yesterday before the game. If Reyes is banged up and needs a day off, why not take advantage of Goins who you just called up and give Reyes a day off immediately? Just silly. It's also entirely possible that Reyes himself was being stubborn refused to get tested or to take a seat. Maybe he was determined to play through it and avoid yet another DL stint.

    The issue, clearly, is that they think Ryan Goins is suitable depth.

    NHL Thread

    Laika replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    Mildly interesting - how the NHL actually conducts the draft lottery now. The machine randomly picks four balls from a tumbler. Each ball has a # on it. Each four number combination has been pre-assigned a team. The amount of combinations that a team is assigned as equal to their odds to win (obviously). So it really is done like a lottery, and the teams with better odds just have more tickets. The whole process is supervised by Ernst & Young. Here is the list of combinations http://www.nhl.com/nhl/en/v3/ext/pdfs/NHL-Lottery-2015-Look-Up-Table-Numerical.pdf In past years Gary Bettman's daughter just picked a team from a hat. Off camera.

    Getting contingency players at every position shows a lack of faith in your starters. It's not good for clubhouse chemistry. Do we really want guys like Reyes and Travis looking over their shoulder all the time, worrying if their job will get stolen if they happen to get hurt? I like rosters that put full faith in their main players. You should sink or swim with your big boys.

    thanks Dr. Mod. Obviously Reyes injury wasn't "hurting like f***" because he played baseball for like a week with it. Maybe it's the world's smallest rib fracture in recorded history
  9. Laika
    Where are you seeing 4-6 weeks? From what I'm seeing he's not even going on the DL for sure

    Marlins trade update: still stupid
  11. Laika
    So excited for Yasmany in the Arencibia Classic
  12. Laika
    The D-Bags say a lot things that aren't true. - Tomas will play 3B - Hill won't start - We don't need a catcher etc etc

    Alex Seixeiro ‏@alexfan590 7m7 minutes ago Gibbons: Jose Reyes had an MRI. Small crack or fracture in the rib. DL stint a possibility. #Bluejays #BaseballCentral Didn't he do this on a check swing??? Must have happened before diving for a ball or something.

    Keith Pelley leaving Rogers

    Good stuff about AA's relationship with his scouts in this story
  16. Laika
    I'm sure they've thought about it. Problem with stretching out Osuna this year is that he probably can't throw more than half a season out of the rotation. Severe lack of innings the last few years. But I'd love to see it happen even if there is an eventual date where he has to go back to the pen.

    Apparently Gibby was on Blair this morning and hinted that his leash may be close to up. Blair: "Putting two-and-two together, I think we're gonna see Sanchez back in the bullpen, maybe by the end of the homestand."

    I expect Norris and Hutch to pitch a lot better going forward. Martin doesn't seem comfortable doing anything right now (except throwing), which might be influencing the pitchers a little bit. I think Russ is putting a bit too much pressure on himself early on, or something intangible like that.

    You should have taken your banning as an opportunity to self-develop, or try out some new hobbies. What you've done is just pathetic.

    Urias for Olson?
  21. Laika
    I can no longer pretend that Matt Olson is garbage. Matt and Greg should make a mediocre platoon for you at UTIL one day.
  22. Laika
    Please get out of our thread?
  23. Laika
    This is the DDL, who are you?

    Urias Watch: 5.2 IP, 10 K, 1 BB, 0 ER, 4 H. Season: 10.2 IP, 14 K, 2 BB, 0 ER, 6 H. 18 years old in AA...

    Maybe if some stupid team keeps swinging at balls, or he rides an insane amount of BABIP luck for a game. I highly doubt we'll see Sanchez completely shut down a decent lineup on his own accord this season.
