Indeed it is Devout Dan. Castillo seems like a pretty big risk due to the lack of projections, but with Ryu's shoulder fatigue last year maybe the risk cancels out. Check out Ryu's top BP player similarity scores: 1 95 Johnny Cueto 2013 2.97 2 93 Kevin Appier 1995 4.02 3 92 Don Newcombe 1953 0.00 DNP 4 91 Orel Hershiser 1986 4.36 5 91 Matt Morris 2002 3.68 6 91 Roy Halladay 2004 4.47 7 89 CC Sabathia 2008 3.02 8 89 Johnny Antonelli 1957 4.16 9 88 Andy Pettitte 1999 4.93 10 88 John Danks 2012 5.87

Also Joe Wieland, Luebke, Eddie Butler, Hellickson. Boxy should just keep them all and ~6 or so are almost bound to stick.

those were not funny jokes

Actually he's a fat Asian believe it or not
-
He's been a decent arm for the last two years for Toronto. A guy who can get righties out, throw multiple innings, go through a lineup once (unless it's too lefthanded - lefties crush him). He's out of options too so he'll almost certainly be the #7 RP out of the gate, unless he gets hurt or traded before opening day. He's a sinker/slider guy who only sits ~90 and doesn't even get groundballs though. Could be terrible at any given point.

John Sickels: Blue Jays top-20 prospects
Laika replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah I like the order in the top portion. I'd take DJ Davis right off though probably and I've never really heard of those guys at the bottom. Lugo can f*** off too and there are a few other guys who should be on this IMO. -
Sanchez in all likelihood never falls on though
-
I'm guessing the Rays would also be interested in Urena and Travis.
-
You drafted well now here's a beer cookie, you fekking bike.
-
Yeah I'd pick those three as well. But even then, with keeping only 15 guys and the way hockey prospects can develop... I mean, for example, if you drafted Kadri in this league you probably would have given up on him and traded him for whatever before he finally turned fantasy relevant. What are the promotion rules in this league?
-
Tap the breaks there bud. Chances are that the vast majority of your current prospects will never have fantasy impact in this league.
-
Can someone explain to me why I have multiple prospects that were real life 7th round picks? Seems pretty retarded.
-
Yeah it doesn't get much worse than giving Phaneuf 7/49. In baseball terms I want to say that that's the rough equivalent of, say, the Josh Hamilton deal (or something like that). So many bad trades in recent Leafs history. As a Boston fan my personal favourite has to be the Rask deal. Used to be the Kessel trade but then the Bruins had to ruin everything by trading Seguin for junk.... This is another personal fave though: 2011 draft, Toronto trades picks #30 and #39 for pick #22. They pick Tyler Biggs at #22, a guy described as having 3rd line upside who currently has like 2 points for the Marlies. Anaheim picks Rickard Rakell (hey, at least he's in the NHL (I think) and his name is cool) and John Gibson super-stud with those two picks.

Ichiro Suzuki is drawing interest from the BlueJays
Laika replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Fake interest as a long-shot effort to influence Toritani? -
How can anyone not be a fan of Phil Kessel? Sure he's a one way player but he's a point-per-game 30 goal scorer in his physical prime. Goal scorers often get unwarranted reputations as being inconsistent. It just comes with the skill set, because goals are a rare commodity. Even 50 goal snipers spend ~40 games of each season failing to contribute in their biggest way. Just because a guy who collects ~6 apples every year seems to find the score sheet more often doesn't make them more "consistent" than a 30 goal scorer. The Leafs problems are the same as they've been for the past few years. 1. Phaneuf 2. Secondary scoring 3. Roster construction around the edges 4. Coaching Kessel is one of the few good things they have going for them... maybe it is so bad that they should trade him for a haul though...

Productive old guys OTB for younger keeper worthy players (don't have to be under 30 necessarily). Jagr Iginla Hossa St Louis Streit Boyle Obviously the price range is pretty wide there. Hossa and St Louis wouldn't be geezer dumps. Boyle and Jagr would be pretty cheap. Streit and Iginla in the middle.
-
Very few people. Cox is one of the worst.
-
Ang = The Mexican Kevin Gray Too perfect
-
Can't wait until mini Vlad signs with some other team and we can all take turns laughing at Ang. Who was the big name guy that Ang said was getting suspended? Did that ever happen? nvm just noticed that Kiley Mc is saying it's true and that's why this is getting bumped

You accidentally eat some gluten tonight or something?

All the time? So I guess you just lurk here constantly and never post because you're totally not a whiny baby pussy who can't get over a past e-beef, right?

- Remove a couple of roster positions - Remove at least half of the minor league depth (say 5 prospects and a 3 round draft or something like that). The replacement level is just boringly low. But people who are deeper into hockey might find it fun just like I/we find the LoD fun.
-
My team of Crosby Bishop Fleury 6 geezers 11 replacement level players looks like it might make the playoffs I must say I really do not enjoy this league's setup. Might not be long for it...
-
fantasy hockey is dumn when does baseball start?
-
Cespedes and Dozier are right out. The other cut is very tough. I'd probably cut one of the youngsters. If you have a CF slot I'd keep Mookie and cut Soler.
