You're just mad because you never beat me h2h. Apparently Davis has a ~.350 xBABIP against his .260 actual BABIP. It doesn't explain the power drop, but take that FWIW.
-
If he wouldn't be the best, then he's essentially worthless.

Daniel Norris pulled from Double-A start tonight
Laika replied to TDotttt2005's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Interesting organizational rule... you'd at least hope that it has some convincing information behind it (medical, biomechanical, injury risk, pitchFX, etc.), and it's not just some random limit pulled from the pea-brain of some dinosaur in the FO. If the risk of sudden injury is significantly higher in young pitchers after 30 consecutive pitches without rest, then we should be all for the rule. -
He looked like a pretty sexy piece at this point last year. Lots of young arms hit year-long bumps in the road...

I'd be pretty pleased with a Headley get. Shouldn't cost too much at this point and Toronto could certainly use a buy-low IF bat with upside. How aboot a Headley + Benoit + Kennedy package? Haha.
-
Beeston. I believe (not necessarily firmly) that a lot of what ails the Blue Jays FO drips top-down from betwixt the crossed legs of this old coot.

Biggest surprise: Jake Arrieta Biggest disappointment: Danny Salazar Between these two dick-bags, I probably have the biggest SP disappointment and the biggest SP surprise of 2014. I guess it kind of cancels out. Salazar's peripherals are still pretty f***ing intriguing, and I don't think 80 innings in 2014 is enough to say "hur durr he's too hittable". It might be a small fix that he'll be able to make, and/or he might just be getting stupid unlucky. Biggest MiLB surprise: Stroman, Harvey, Renfroe, Manaea, and Nick Williams haven't really surprised but they've done virtually everything I could have realistically hoped they would this year. Getting Raimel Tapia at the end of the first round this summer was also a nice surprise. Biggest MiLB disappointment: I was bummed when the Yankees gave up on Jose Ramirez as a starting pitcher.

A rebuilding team could have Anthony Ranaudo for very little. Ex., we swap 3rd round picks.
-
Looks like I have the best farm out of any 100-win, division leading team! #TopOrg #1Org
-
I was sitting here thinking about offering my 2nd + more for a Jerko buy low, with Wright still missing time. Damn.
-
Havok gives Anibal, Holland, and pick 66 for Zunino, Cishek, and JBJr. Ouch
-
Nvm, was someone else
-
Pretty sure you traded me Anibal Sanchez and Greg Holland for Mike Zunino and something
-
Belt for Salazar I think this is one that was fair in context, but worked out terribly. Bauer for Olt I don't really think I'll ever miss Bauer dearly, but I still picked him in the top 6 rounds of our big league start up draft and then sold him at the absolute worst time and didn't even get a keeper piece. Corbin+Cingrani for Alex Gordon I used to really regret doing that ^ deal, but it's funny how things turn around. At this point in time I really like my end of it, obviously. I also regret cutting/dropping CoCo Crisp and trading Wily Peralta for almost nothing and trading Jimmy Nelson for almost nothing (but not really). I'm experiencing recent bias here, surely there are more from S1 that I would regret. Cano for Chris Davis isn't looking great right now, but I maintain hope. At least Cano is experiencing the expected SafeCo power outage.

Ok I'm back from the cottage. As far as the rental player topic goes, I'm going to have to side with the league and insist that Boxy and RJ tradesies backsies. It's just not something I think we should dip into, not a precedent we want set. Renting Odorizzi for a 2nd rounder might seem tame enough but things would get messy and unfair fast if people started renting out elite players for first rounders, yada yada yada. No rentals!
-
I have been on phone at cottage so didn't notice the deal specifics. I agree that rental players is a bad idea, and I feel like we've actually already been over this topic once?
-
Where is the option? I need to know so that I can consciously never, ever select it, just to bug jaysblue.
-
The only options in Yahoo for trade approval are "League Votes" or "Commissioner". There are no other options.
-
Here, send me a DM and I'll reply with my cell#. Then if anyone has a late night deal that they absolutely need processed before the Yahoo day turns over, shoot me a quick call, so I can kindly tell you to blow it out your ass, you jackwagon.
-
.830 OPS would be a fairly rational projection, the floor would be much worse.
-
Brandon Moss projects to hit .245/.325 with power. Why are people miffed that Dinger somehow "stole" a marginally more attractive Ryan Howard for a first rounder and a great pitching prospect? That first rounder isn't worth a whole lot and Moss is definitely a relevant 1B so I think it's fair.
-
Wait, so I'm still paying attention to that team for no reason?
-
Woah Woah Woah. I think past champions get saved from relegation before winless commissioners.
-
Posey side for the next few years, but catcher attrition is pretty high. I don't think it's unfair. I'm probably a bigger Profar fan than most though.
-
OBP hits leagues, yes. Does a little bit of everything. Sneaky elite.
