Hendriks is phase 3 of the plan to increase the Blue Jays brand in Australia and establish a pipeline that pumps young cricket stars into professional baseball. Phase 1 - Jack Murphy Phase 2 - Treat them to athletic specimen Anthony Alford for a winter Phase 3 - big league Hendriks Blue Jays went all out for Balfour last offseason and they thought the Commonwealth allure would work in their favour but he chose Tampa Bay because he's scared of both snow and geese

Habs need to rest Carey up for the playoffs. Maybe just play him against Florida this week. Thoughts?
-
Are you sitting him on purpose? I get that he's garbage and he'll probably be a -1 but still, so many hits! And maybe if you're lucky, one shot on net!

Should trade for Ryan Howard. Phillies willing to eat $50M of his contract. Even last year with diminished skills he was 6th in RBI for 1B. He was a better run producer than batting champion Justin Morneau. More HR and RBI than Freddie Freeman who everybody seems to want to trade our best prospects for for some reason (never hit 25 HR, one 100 RBI season, no thanks).

I don't understand why you would spend a high pick on Bryant in a league that eliminates teams after week #1, lol. I mean you probably won't be the worst but still, not advisable.
-
I dunno!
-
You won the only regular season match between you two though - is that not the #1 playoff tiebreaker? Or is it seed?
-
So me vs. z3r0s, and vanland vs. JFaS?
-
Yeah it's certainly possible, if Hyun Jin's nagging shoulder turns into some serious labrum s*** and Anibal can get 'r done for another couple of years.
-
Hyun-Jin Ryu is starting the year on the DL and the list of potential fill ins reads like a Northof49 wish list:
-
Oh, apparently he's down to 88mph this spring. Yikes.
-
I can't wrap my head around why Colorado would release him.
-
yeah, basically
-
Estrada is such an uninspiring bullpen arm. It would be hard to use him in any close games because you'd be so scared of the long ball.
-
Bo knows.

Amazing; yes.

Castro's spider fingers: http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/d45d0e15aa1dcdef07472c38b9bad8dbdddb25eb/c=267-38-638-317&r=x383&c=540x380/local/-/media/2015/03/18/USATODAY/USATODAY/635622989856924403-miguelcastrogrip.JPG

Castro has more swinging strikes today than Sanchez has all spring.
-
Don't need to get too crazy. If he has a FB/SL/CH, all you really need to layer on top of that is fastball variants (cutter, 2-seamer) and command. Splitter and a change would be weird because they are both feel pitches. Might be better to just have one of them.
-
Wait, this message board has AOL Instant Messenger functionality and Jonn has it linked to his account? wow funny
-
It's like if Alexi Ogando had a changeup, wasn't old, and wasn't ugly as f***.
-
deep, wipeout slider from Castro today. holy f*** these guys are good
-
Buck Martinez "Castro is 17-7 with a 2.47 ERA in his minor league career. Joe you just don't see numbers like that in the minors". lol

When Osuna misses, he doesn't miss the zone by much. I think Martin is helping him out quite a bit this game with pitches near the edges, but the stuff is undeniably good. It looks like Osuna has three plus pitches right now. The change looks like a finishing pitch today, the slider looked like a finishing pitch the other day against New York, and the fastball has both velocity and some command right now. I think they should be aggressive with him this season. The only issue with him potentially contributing to the big league team later on this year is that he doesn't have a whole lot of innings due to past injuries, so they shouldn't make his workload too large this year. Maybe they pull him out of the rotation in AA at some point in the summer and put him in the big league pen? That would give him experience, help the big team, but allow them to control/limit his innings and workload. Maybe at some point you call up Osuna to relieve and then throw Castro into the big rotation to get innings (assuming you need a SP).
