    Nice job running your mouth, Beeston. http://blogs.canoe.ca/slam/baseball/grass-at-the-rogers-centre-blue-jays-president-paul-beeston-says-its-definitely-happening/ f***ing loser.

    Ruben Sierra, 1993. According to Fangraphs at least. .233/.288 with 22 HR, 101 RBI, and 25 SB. -25 fielding runs! Worst 20 HR season ever. Worst 100 RBI season ever. Worst 25 SB season ever. Worst 20/20 season ever. -2.6 fWAR 1999 Dante Bichette: 34 HR, -2.1 fWAR (this is a f***ing insane statistical season. .379 wOBA and only a 100 wRC+, cuz Coors field.) 1990 Joe Carter: 20 HR, -2.0 fWAR

    It's for your own good. They are just force-feeding the masses an anti-arbitrary process.

    Did your inbox get swamped by dozens of report messages? That was the main goal here.

    The Toronto Blue Jays: Drafting high school pitchers in the upper rounds, giving them legit signing bonuses, and then dumping them + other decent depth pieces for a single fringy SP in his arb years. All part of the master plan.

    I really like how Todd Redmond is better than JA Happ. The Blue Jays trade 10 prospects for Happ and pluck Redmond off the scrap heap (waiver claim). At this point I'd take Redmond as the 2014 #5 SP over Happ (if one of them has to be). Redmond can pitch man. His peripherals are very good. His SIERA is like, 3.60. He's always been a decent minor league pitcher (~3.60 ERA), and in 2012 he started striking out more batters than ever. He carried that into Buffalo this year, and has transferred it to the big leagues.

    Yup, it's pretty encouraging. Hitting everything hard, not like in 2012 when he hit .273 on the strength of what seemed like 100 duck farts and infield dribble singles. If he hits like this in 2014, he's going to get a lot of extra base hits.

    This is getting annoying. Can't we all just agree to acknowledge the following? - Ryan Goins' chances of ever being a big league regular are extremely slim, yet still existent, because baseball can be kind of crazy. - It would be pretty ugly for Toronto to pencil him in as the 2B starter for 2014. - Ryan Goins has looked like a decent defensive infielder through this small major league sample size. - Ryan Goins probably has the ability to be a decent big league bench player (mostly if he can handle SS in the big leagues, which we don't know yet). - Ryan Goins should be on the infield depth chart in 2014. There's an argument to be made for starting the year with him on the big league bench. - Basically every team in baseball has a Ryan Goins. Some teams have multiple Ryan Goinses. Ryan Goinses almost grow on trees. /thread

    How exactly have we tolerated 916 posts from this guy? Obvious ban candidate. Everyone report.

    23rd in Pitching WAR. 23rd in Position Player WAR. lol, where do we get these guys?
  14. Laika
    Top percent defender, can hit for AVG, doesn't strike out much, consistently underrated coming up... He's Dustin Pedroia, version 2.Goins
  15. Laika
    lmfao @ Ryan Goins having a replacement level floor
  16. Laika
    Amazing. He laughs and then proceeds to more or less outline the exact cognitive bias that he was being accused of falling victim to. The way Goins turned that DP to end the game is more evidence that his D is upper level MLB caliber. Actually, that's just you falling victim to attribute substitution (again). L o f***ing L You're a wonderful poster. I watched that game ending DP several times and watched enough ball in my day to come to a rational conclusion that the likes of Izturis,deRosa or Kawasaki would not of turned that DP. Hint: Being greater than Izturis and co. does not = upper level MLB caliber. Objectively evaluating Goins' defense with your eyeballs is extremely complicated, so you're defaulting to simply comparing him to the team's previous second baseman, which is fine, except you aren't even aware of it and you're conflating the two (very different) questions.

    Don't try to tell me that he can't start

    Marcus Fcking Stroman 8 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 11 K.
  19. Laika
    And lots of people didn't like that signing, me included. 3/39 for a 32 year old coming off of a .321 OBP/ .704 OPS season. Can't predict ball
  20. Laika
    ESPN update on him today says he'll get 2 more starts, that's it.

    Should the consolation playoffs count for final standings? (in terms of future draft pick slotting). I don't really think they should. I think teams 9-20 should be slotted based on final regular season standings, and then teams 1-8 will obviously place wherever they end up after the playoffs. What do you guys think? Is there even a consolation playdown for non-playoff teams? I wouldn't really know. Don't think I've ever missed the playoffs in fantasy baseball.
  22. Laika
    Yeah, I'm very much a 2nd tier playoff team right now. Solid but not spectacular.
  23. Laika
    I'd really like to get to 5th spot so I can play the Monte Cristo champ in R1. Although I'll probably need David Wright to come back swinging soon if I'm gonna make any noise in the playoffs.
  24. Laika
    It's anytime on Sept 1st. One more night.

    Not stolen - was discussed. Guy is probably worth a follow if he keeps the blog up to date. Not stupid.
