When Cabrera and Weeks settle for $2.5M contracts, it becomes pretty obvious that Toronto has all of its eggs in the Devon Travis basket. There are no sensible reasons why anybody, no matter how stupid or misinformed, would expect anything but replacement (or sub-replacement) level play from Goins+Izturis. All we can hope for is that Travis gets the job early on and at least approaches his projections.

Couple of currently penciled in veterans, and then several guys who should have firm holds on setup gigs.

Notes: - As discussed, the rule about players needing to be in the Yahoo system in order to be waiver drafted will be maintained. Sorry, Hector Olivera fans. - Going forward, international free agent players who were subject to international spending cap limitations will be treated the same as domestic prospects that did not hit AA in the previous season. So, they are not eligible to be waiver drafted even if they are in the Yahoo system, and they cannot be added to your MLB team unless they debut in the big leagues (in which case they will hit waivers). They can be drafted in the June prospect draft, of course. - The waiver draft order is listed on Proboards -> Draft Picks -> 2015 Waiver Draft Order. It has been updated to reflect recent trades. - Completed trades can now be posted and confirmed on Yahoo.

Noteworthy? Sure. I expect him to hit much like Thames did in his major league career (96 wRC+; low OBP high ISO). That's definitely fantasy relevant for a SS eligible. Only 3 SS hit 20+ HR last year. Alexei Ramirez had a .713 OPS and he's your 5th ranked SS in Yahoo right now. If Kang plays every day then I think he'll be fantasy relevant. If his defense isn't good then he won't play every day though. So I think that's the rub. I'm not sure that I'd want to spend a super high waiver pick on him though. I guess it depends on team composition. Personally, I wouldn't have room right now for a flier like Kang so if I had a top 5 pick I'd probably grab a clozer or something.

Sammy needs to cut two prospects asap... If he doesn't in the next couple of days then I'm just cutting Boyd and Imhof for him.
-
The rankings on this Fangraphs list seem really, really good.
-
Fangraphs 200 was kind to me Urias - 4 Harvey - 36 Manaea - 37 Mondesi - 61 Pompey - 80 Fedde - 95 (pleasant surprise) Nick Williams - 136 AJ Cole - HM (kinda s*****) Arano and Jose Ramirez didn't make it and have little chance to make it past my cuts later on. Chris Taylor is super low upside so I wouldn't expect him to make it, but I do think he can be an IRL 50 FV player some day. Justin Williams could maybe have been an HM but wasn't.
-
We are all a bunch of incredulous jerks, but it's ok. That's why we've been outcast by society to the internet.
-
Urias at #4 makes me all kinds of smug
-
Hey can you please tell us that story about how you saw Rendon in college one more time you f***ing geezer.
-
Looks like Sammy has 14 prospects on the spreadsheet. Did he forget to cut two, or did we just miss it in the shuffle?
-
f***ing whore -
Weise was a point-per-game player his last year in junior and he was a 50 point guy while still pretty young in the AHL. Also he had a sweet pass last night on the GWG. He's legit!
-
I busted my pick/prospect nut for Parise and Foligno, but I'd definitely be willing to move some decent young guys like Helm, Anisimov, Tennyson, Bennett, Paquette, Weise, Hagelin, Stewart for small upgrades since I have a decent chance to make the playoffs somehow.
-
MLB players + waiver picks just have to be = on both sides of the trade so that everybody ends the waiver draft with 25 roster players.
-
Trade me Bernier and Comeau. Got some young studs to dangle like Beau Bennett - 9 shots on Sunday... new NHL record.
-
I think those are from one year ago. I'm guessing that he lost something like ~30 pounds, but has ballooned back up this offseason.

It only seems like a coup for JG relative to some recent lopsided trades.
-
Although I'm not really sure he's any heavier than in SF
-
Domi + a 1st is a fair return for a guy this is a Pitt first liner for the next 1.5 years.
-
Pablo Sandoval is massive.

On second thought, we have always been a league that has erred on the side of sensible and simple rules. I think we'll just keep it status quo. If they aren't in Yahoo's system at the start of the draft, then they aren't eligible. All that remains is to decide if we should explicitly state that international 'prospects' who were subject to international spending limitations be ineligible for the waiver draft regardless of whether or not they were in the system. I only suggest this because I feel like it sort of compliments the "AA" rule that we already have in place for domestic, unowned prospects. (I don't think this matters for anyone this season).
-
That's a good creative solution. Have terrible plugs with NA listing be 'deemed' players for guys like Iglesias.
