Outside observers should note that Boxy's team basically has no chance of even sniffing the playoffs before, like, 2017.
-
I hope Melky is for real! Let's hope everybody is for real! (except for Belt. f*** that guy)
-
Brett Cecil is so f***ing good as a reliever.
-
Right about now, I feel like Danny Salazar gave me an STD, filed divorce papers, took the dog and shacked up with Brandon Belt. fml

Blue Jays reacquire Darin Mastroianni, DFA Kenny Wilson
Laika replied to jaysfan2014's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Twins chose to take Mastro off their 40 man for Sam Fuld which is why he was on waivers, but once a guy is added to the 40 man he gets three option years, so it looks like Mastro is in his third and final option year right now. -

Also, Mastro is white and as we all know, the Blue Jays could benefit from a bit less ethnic diversity in the clubhouse. #LatinoClique -

Mastroianni is better than Moises Sierra or Anthony Gose by almost any measure. Pros for Sierra: - More raw and game power than Gose or Mastro - RHB is better than LHB Gose given Jays' current roster construction Pros for Gose: - Tools; upside - More defense than Mastro (presumably, but this isn't known) - Youngest and had best minor league age vs. level - Slightly more SB volume than Mastro in minors Pros for Mastro: - Best hitter for AVG and OBP in the minors of the trio - Best BB and K rates in minors of the trio - SB volume in minors very close to Gose (222 in 603 G vs. 253 in 629) - Much better SB% than Gose in minors (87% vs. 73%) - More defense than Sierra, and at least similar defense to Gose - RHB better than LHB Gose for Jays current roster f*** scouts!!! Mastro for 4th OF! -
Mastro > Gose

He's a functional retard, and his approach and skillset are presently combining to produce the absolute least amount of synergy possible. He doesn't have great innate pitch recognition or plate discipline skills, for one thing. He swings at a huge array of pitches as a result. And he has aggressively adopted this pansy ass "up-the-middle" approach like he's Derek f***ing Jeter, so he's essentially swinging late and softly at a bunch of junk pitches. Ends up putting them in play weakly because his hand eye hit-tool thingamajig is pretty good. Brett Lawrie needs to stop thinking, and start trying to crush balls. I think he needs to get his swing started earlier and swing harder. Maybe let that K% rise by a few points for the sake of some more power. If Carlos Gomez and Ian Desmond can turn into true talent ~.340+ wOBA hitters, then so can Lawrie.

Farewell, Ike Davis. I'd say that I barely knew thee, but I've drafted and dropped you the last two years in the PL. You won't fool me again! I won't allow it!

So how long until we all move back to the old ghost town?
-
Haven't read through this whole thread, but why is this place working on mobile but not on my home WiFi? Browser cache or something like that that I dont understand?
-
I have an extra closer! None of my three are bad though....
-
Very frustrating start to the year for the Butt Ponies. Only 2 or 3 players exceeding expectations, and at least ten guys doing much less than I thought they would. I guess I shouldn't complain though since my division rivals are off to worse starts. Can I get an update on Matt Kemps MVP season, plz?
-
Wandy Rodriguez is eminently available for anyone who still believes in him. Pick upgrade type of available.
-
Would probably trade Grant Balfour for a front end Holds machine.
-
Agreed, Spanky is the worst. I've sent about twenty lopsided offers for Jose and Verlander, and he's never even sent me a counter. Dick cheese!
-
Any interest in Mike Olt? He's like a young Moustakas, without the near half decade of MLB level disappointment.
-
Sure, Joe Kelly. Get hurt four innings after I trade for you.
-
Did you steamroll me last week? Can't remember....
-
You sucked farts in this league last year
-
Everyone smells funny when you make a habit of sucking farts.
-
Also, Wandy available. And LoMo for almost free

My thoughts exactly. Kelly has like, a 70 grade two seam fastball. It's his only weapon, but he's not some junk swingman. I think some portion of his ERA skill will be repeatable going forward within his current environment. Nobody wanted any part of my young MLB roster excess. I offered Bradley to several guys and was told that they thought he was waiver wire fodder. I wanted to deal Olt, Bradley, or Delgado for someone to help me this season, and Bradley was the only guy Boxy liked. JBJ doesn't have a great chance of making me regret this either, given his toolkit. Even if he sticks and puts of WARz, he might not be terribly fantasy relevant. If anyone has any interest at all in Randall The Handle Delgado, msg me. Obviously rebuilding teams are probably the only ones that might.
