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.

He means that it's not very deep as in it doesn't really make you think about things like good entertainment art tends to. Good entertainment art expands your point of view and makes you curious and introspective, it makes you explore things about yourself, other humans, and how you interact with others. When you watch Game of Thrones you just kind of enjoy the blood flying and try to hide your boner from whoever else is in the room. It's about as "deep" of an experience as playing Call of Duty.

Vasquez f***ing suxxxxxxx

I actually find it pretty boring compared to the books, for some reason.

Bit of a weird case because he's been consistently good, but he's a soft throwing righty. Unless he has a huge 2015, I bet he gets close to Garza/McCarthy money. But IIRC he had a shoulder strain and elbow inflammation last season. Could go down next year and ruin his earning potential.

Surprised a rebuilder doesn't want to throw you a milk bone for a flier on Buckles.

Phil Hughes' skill level changed.

Why do the Raps keep Nogueira and Caboclo on the end of their bench? Can't they send them down to the D league?

lol, if I was doing a rebrand like this I would probably let it "leak" early in the process just to gauge fan reaction.

yeah but to be fair the Jays rebrand was basically a tap in. The old brand was awesome and the metallijay was horrendous - took no brains. I question the timing of this Raptors rebrand though. Why during the season?
