    Yeah I'd imagine that it becomes pretty irrelevant when you're never in the playoff race

    Pretty nice trade for Colorado. Hale is an extreme groundball guy with two offspeed pitches that have shown the ability to get swinging strikes. He's very undervalued right now. http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/toward-a-pitch-arsenal-score-ranking-statistic/

    oh we're rivals?

    If anybody out there really likes Dalton Pompey, feel free to make an offer. Would probably consider MLB upgrades to C, SP, or RP (RP would need to be elite). Also, maybe a different prospect on the cusp that I like more.

    TCA's inquiry to completed trade ratio has to be the highest in the league. I don't think I've ever done a trade with him but he's probably sent me more PMs than anyone else in the league.

    Did you try for Urias earlier? When he first got placed OTB we actually had some Scherzer for Urias+ discussions, lol.

    You used to work? I thought you just freeloaded professionally until your parents kicked you out in your mid 30s...
  8. Laika
    problem?

    Could have been worse. At least Quintana is both young and good.

    The way that you used the arrows and language in that graphic was just really not intuitive at all, lol.

    At one point in time, Spanky owned both Julio Urias and Daniel Norris, the 1st and 3rd best LHP prospects in baseball right now (mlb.com). He picked Norris 118th overall in the initial draft (I think), and he picked Urias 22nd overall in the 2013 June draft. He traded Urias in 2014 in a 3 team deal that landed him Aaron Sanchez (KK got Urias and a high pick, TCA got Cliff Lee). He also traded Norris in 2014, to Silvergun for Wei Yin Chen and pick #41 (gross). Silvergun traded Norris + his 1st for Odorrizi (rape for Boxy). Boxy traded Norris and Rusney to me for Ryu. I just traded Norris to Kat for Urias. That's the story of how Spanky practically lit two elite LHP prospects on fire, and then they eventually got swapped for each other.

    Does anyone remember how exactly Daniel Norris went from Spanky to Boxy? The transaction history on him

    I think they wanted to ask him the obvious, hard question. Duqette didn't even try to politicize his answer - you could hear the frustration from him essentially being denied a huge promotion by his current boss. Pretty funny!
  14. Laika
    The third question was on point and DD's response was very telling. That relationship between him and Angelos is thoroughly broken at this point.
  15. Laika
    I don't see how you can reasonably rank them 19th when they have 3 top ~50 prospects that are major league ready. The value from those 3 alone should = top half farm. But whatever.
  16. Laika
    I wouldn't even say that Dahl has more upside. Pederson looks like a legit offensive weapon. We can't simply define upside as the sum of a player's tools. At some point minor league numbers/production need to inform upside just as much as, if not more than, scouting grades do.

    That tweet is the very quintessence of Mike Wilner.
  18. Laika
    Wilner is the absolute worst Toronto media guy for spewing out garbage splits information. I remember when the Jays brought in 37 year old Kevin Millar Wilner got all excited because he "RAKES" lefties. Check his career splits...
  19. Laika
    I like all of them, to various degrees. Actually Delabar might be the most hopeless on that list in my books...
  20. Laika
    What's the alternative - a flyball pitcher in the Rogers Centre? It's a lose-lose. Prima facie, no skill set really fits the park/team any better.
  21. Laika
    He got non-tendered with a $3.9M arbitration estimate. He should be very cheap. Sorry, not non-tendered. He got DFA'd before the tender deadline. The Dodgers non-tendered him though after a replacement level 2013.
  22. Laika
    Belisario would be under arbitration control for 2016 as well. Basically an automatic 1 + 1 option, a type of deal that Anthopoulos loves.
  23. Laika
    Just a hunch http://larrybrownsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/keith-law-espn.jpg
  24. Laika
    Why don't you go suck Keith Law's little eggs?
  25. Laika
    lol @ Tyrell Jenkins in the top 100. C'mon, Keith.
