Bashing a 4th rounder for junk SP trade is pretty unbecoming, BTS/GD.

He's really not that different from most prospects. Even with good minor league number very few guys can make the leap without making a big adjustment somewhere. Sanchez needs to figure something out, like everyone else does.

Skaggs is v good Beachy is v dead Chatwood for 61 is v insignificant

4th!

Sanchez is more extreme though. Higher GB%, higher K%, higher BB% in the minors. Big issue with Sanchez' minor league numbers though is the trend, of course. 2014 was gross.

Right. Obviously he needs to improve. Nobody should think he can translate as is.

It's really hard to interpret just how much Sanchez' extreme GB tendencies will be able to compensate for the poor PD stats. You see a lot of guys like Marco Estrada, Joe Blanton, and the new Timmy Lincecum that can miss bats and limit walks, but they get pounded when guys guess right and put a good swing on it. Sanchez is like the polar opposite of that. A hitter can look fastball, get it, put a good swing on it, and then hit a s***** groundball because the thing it coming at 96 and moving halfway across the plate.

Indeed

lol I didn't even notice how low Osuna was. But I actually think it's fair to have Osuna lower than some people (like you) do, based on the alarming lack of innings in four pro years.

hmmm... the only one that I think could/should have been above him is Hoffman, and he gave them the same grade anyway.

Have you ever seen him play? It's safe to assume that the guy who went 11th overall has an intriguing talent profile. It's not like everybody is pumping up a 3rd rounder or something.

Tomato Tomahto In case you didn't notice I was doing my best Jaysblue impression with those last two paragraphs. Your team is pathetic and you are a pathetic wanker!

C - Josmil Pinto 1B - Joey Votto 2B - Neil Walker 3B - David Wright SS - Ben Zobrist CF - Denard Span (Pompey) OF - Alex Gordon OF - Steve Pearce UTIL - Chris Davis SP - Max Scherzer SP - Hyun-Jin Ryu SP - Jake Arrieta SP - Danny Salazar SP - Jon Niese SP - Jason Hammel SP - Matt Moore SP - AJ Burnett RP - Greg Holland RP - K Rod RP - Darren O'Day I'm keeping K.Rod but he's on the block for anyone looking for a closer. O'Day is fringe. I could end up keeping a trade acquisition or a 10th bat like Quentin/Moose/Ruiz over him. I'd be fine with 7 SP so I'm open to trading almost any one of them. Outside of Pompey I don't really have any 2015 impact prospects. Manaea and Harvey are probably at least a year away. Chris Taylor is decent SS depth but so low-upside. Jose Ramirez (NY) has a live arm so I guess there's always an outside shot the he turns into a high K holds guy at any moment. Farm in general is a bit thin since I cashed in some prospects this offseason, trading Michael Taylor, Raimel Tapia, and Hunter Renfroe (along with Stroman who was a recent promotee). I'd say that my farm is definitely lower half right now mostly due to a lack of depth (top end is fine).

what do you mean? official rosters = google doc

It's against the rules to mention the BBDL in this thread unless you're making fun of it. First and final warning. Severe penalties for disobedience.

Let me be more specific - you have a terrible sense of humour. Proof = your sig.

It's all I asked for for Christmas

This makes sense because your dumn. People will be talking about The Nightman Cometh for decades. Sunny is amazing. The first few seasons were comedy gold. Last couple haven't been as strong though.

Sons of Anarchy was basically just mindless slaughter and gratuitous Jax Teller butt shots.

I liked it a lot, and I loved the final season, it's just not as great as people make it out to be. I've always had lots of other shows that I thought were better, like Boardwalk, Shameless, Homeland.... maybe House of Cards and Suits too.

Yes it was.

Yeah it was disappointing how the plot seemed to change mid-season. Apparently they got pressured into making changes and revealing the killer because of poor ratings:

lol get Vasquez off the floor now plz

Greivis <3

lol just as we're all chirping Vasquez he decides to pour in like three 3's in a row.
