Have you ever even played baseball?
-
He throws hard. mid 90s.
-
It's not over yet!

His ADP in Yahoo is pretty low at 127. I'd take him after this year's biggest near-the-top value guys (Harper, CarGo, Votto) are gone. Their ADP's are 32, 49, and 63, respectively... so, say ~65th if you really want him. Even there there might not be a lot of room for profit though. Mookie Betts is going ~87th - you might want to just sandwich Mookie-Bryant-Soler-Heyward in your rankings somewhere in the early 70s, late 60s.

I would, although Utley's legs on turf is just a really bad idea, so it will never happen. Toronto could think about breaking Devon Travis in as a 2B/LF. Spot Utley once or twice a week and then platoon a bit with Saunders in LF. The question with Utley is health, so there's no reason to fear his vesting options. If they vest (500+ PA in previous season) it probably means that he's healthy. If he's not healthy then they won't vest. But in response to that tweet - who the f*** has defensive concerns about Utley? I get that he's old, but he's still great by any measure.
-
I know, I can't believe he still doesn't know English very well.
-
And given his age and body type, there's also a decent chance that 2015 Castro is physically a different/better pitcher than 2014 Castro (just another reason why projections might not have a lot of utility).
-
Yeahhhh, but when it comes to an A ball starter moving to an MLB bullpen, you almost might want to trust your eyes over the projections. I think RP Castro probably is head and shoulders above some of the names here. The biggest consideration is just his own development.
-
I know, that's why I said I was hoping. If I were still hoping then I would have said I am hoping. Thus concludes today's lesson.
-
Still a chance they send Norris to Buffalo for a month and give Estrada the 2 or 3 starts they need out of the #5 slot in April. Drabek is out of options so they can either say bye or give him a spot. Same with Hendriks and Barnes. I'm hoping Bo Schultz cracks the pen somehow (I was also hoping that Lopez would look good and grab a spot). Jenkins should have no chance of cracking it given his role (redundant) + his options remaining.
-
Yeah I'm surprised Dinger would trade his only decent depth bat for a return like this.
-
I like this for Boxy. Allen Craig is an Allen Craig type bat, and I don't think Pomz is long for the rotation with his K/BB history and the amount of names behind him.
-
Castro and Osuna as well. They bring a smile to my face. Sanchez has been as expected. I don't think he looks particularly good or bad.
-
He also missed 40 days with an oblique strain last year, which made it harder for him to shoot to AAA.
-
Devon Travis and Daniel Norris are kind of injecting optimism into this once depressing spring
-
This offense is going to be legendary.
-
WOW - Johnny McDonald type of transfer from Travis on that play.
-
He's out of options. This is his last chance to be a Philly!
-
Dickey seems to be having a pretty good spring. Only 1 walk to date. Lots of strikes.
-
Cut.
-
There shouldn't have ever been any question, really. I'm not sure why anybody would have doubted Martin.
-
Also, why the f*** would you use two whole donuts and not one donut sliced in half?
-
Yeah, half of your team is basically my sloppy seconds.
-
I guess if your plan for the day was a) go get donuts, and while they digest go get a burger, then you could streamline your entire schedule.
-
That argument doesn't cut. If you wanted you to fail then he'd rip you off and accept that trade. He must secretly love you and want you to succeed!
