I was being sarcastic, lol. Just funny how Thole is supposed to be Dickey's caddy, and with him Dickey has a horrendous season opener where he walks more than be ever did in 2013.
-
Guys, Dickey probably walks like 8 or 9 guys if Kratz was behind the plate today.
-
Yea I don't think it's really important if the weekly limit applies to prospect promotions. They are pretty rare for each time and they have little to do with weekly matchups. I'd like to keep the weekly limit as is though. It provides a cushion to managers who can't check Yahoo forty times a week. What would we all do if there was no limit and North got to stream 80 mediocre holds guys every week? We'd be absolutely f***ed!
-
Yeah Wilson looks pretty much done as a back end bullpen option. So are Brandon League and Chris Perez though, in all likelihood. Dodgers will probably be leaning heavily on Jansen and Paco. And maybe Withrow. #HowNotToBuildABullpen

Are you being facetious?

Hyun-jin Ryu doin' work for me here in week 1!
-
Thanks! Reminder to peeps that when you call a dude up, let us know so we can delete them from the spreadshit.

lol
-
Yup. And then add Goins to the list after Drew gets signed on day 2 of the season. Goins can probably play CF cuz he's black and thin and athletic and stuff.
-
Great, so when Colby gets hurt they can just call time-out and tell Gose to rent a car, I guess. If the team didn't have a track record of egregious roster mismanagement then I wouldn't find it appropriate to complain about minor stuff like this.

The Blue Jays have 1029102910 scouts. Fans could plainly see that Gomes had some defensive utility, and JPA was a horrendous defensive catcher. The Blue Jays couldn't see that. It's pretty bad, guys. How about opening up the season without a backup CF this year (like having no backup SS last year)? How about keeping Thole over Kratz solely because of knuckleball comfort (ironically like keeping Blanco over Thole last year)? It's f***ing Deja Blue.

Yeah being a Leafs anti-fan is honestly more fun and rewarding than being a normal fan of any other sports team.
-
Someone ask Cox what he thinks of the Corsi nerds now?
-
The Blue Jays didn't even want him in that trade though. The Reds forced them to take Edwin to make the trade work (salaries and s***).
-
Interesting tidbit from the Edwin feature on Sportsnet today - AA says that the Blue Jays didn't even want him included in the Rolen trade. They fought to not have to take Edwin on, but the Reds insisted on it to make the salaries and everything balance out. I was always under the impression that at the time of the trade to acquire him they at least kind of liked something in his skillset (even if he turned into 3B poop and they ended up DFA-ing him down the road).
-
Hey guys, remember when two garbage utility guys and DFA candidate cast-offs turned into HR monsters for us? That was fun.
-
ZiPS and Steamer both project nearly 3 WAR in ~400 PA. Those projection systems would take into account the small major league sample size in 2013. His minor league peripherals would still be pretty big factors in those.
-
Yan Gomes is a monument towards the ignorance of the Blue Jays FO! (watch him hit like a backup this year now)
-
It really does. I needed a 1B and my offense really needed counting stats. Dinger needed a dynasty 2B for reasons already outlined. Sorry guys. Hopefully Cano is a few years older than his listed age, and he gets Safeco'd pretty hard. Also, surprisingly, only two other teams even inquired about Cano.
-
Even if he is mostly 2012 Davis, I won't really be gutted. That guy hit .270 with a .231 ISO!
-
Excellent! This is like Fielder for Kinsler, on steroids.
-
Oddorizzi is at least interesting. I could see him and Melky returning some real value for you at midseason.
-
Fielding actual offers for Robert Canoe. Preference toward MLB players but open minded. Not looking for picks or far off prospects. Will do a one for one for anothet bat where I need it, or an elite SP.
-
Did someone say shoulder inflammation? Yikes.
-
What do advanced stats have to do with Phanuef being an immobile defensive hack with a glaringly low hockey IQ who has been grossly miscast as a top pairing defenseman? I know next to nothing about new age hockey stats, but I've thought Phanuef was a piece of garbage for years. He can barely skate anymore.
