    probably something like that leadership and s*** I just don't know how you can look at Turner's age and want any part of him when there were other options

    jesus f***ing christ Pederson was the no-brainer choice! younger, left handed, more power

    Yeah he seems like a finished product for sure Makes me think of Nick Pivetta. But with a lab splitter so perhaps without all the early career issues Pivetta had because he was trying to throw changeups and sinkers when he never had those pitches. I believe Pivetta is all spin and FB now. Has spread out his arsenal with multiple breaking balls and a cutter.

    Will be interesting to compare these two choices to the College arms Toronto had been taking before 2023. 2019 11 - Manoah 2020 42 - CJ Van Eyk 77 - Trent Palmer 106 - Nick Frasso 2021 19 - Hoglund 2022 - nobody really. Ryan Jennings at 128 was more of a wide arsenal, pitchability guy. 2023 89 - JWB

    The more I read about Trey Yesavage the more I like him. He has some jump on the FB + amazing IVB and a bit of a funky release point It sounds like he is basically a modern pitching lab product, gyro slider and split-change... And then it sounds like he has decent control and stamina Khal Stephen's sitting velo is underwhelming. I am a bit disappointed to see 92.9 which wouldn't even be average MLB RHP SP velocity (I don't think). But I guess that kind of prospect is fine at pick 59. Apparently he also has good FB shape a sneaky good FB, and all the pitches and pitchability/command. Maybe they can coach up the velo a grade. Everyone in Blue Jays fan circles is too quick to throw "Deck McGuire" or "Chad Jenkins" or "Jon Harris" at every lower upside College RHP the team ever takes.

    He just seems to have more upside Some ppl prefer to chase upside
  7. Laika
    Reading that Yesavage has 22.2 IVB on his FB Big if true!

    Turns out it was both BPA and need

    Seems like good value at #20 Unless they have to go overslot for him or something
  10. Laika
    I think round 2 as well 75 picks or something
  11. Laika
    Oh s*** it's tonight

    Seems good Brantley for like 12 starts from Sabathia is fantastic Carrasco for Lee was good Mission accomplished
  13. Laika
    Hunter Harvey to the Royals!
  14. Laika

  15. Laika

  16. Laika
    did you block whoever started it
  17. Laika
    They all suck, surely you can find better dudes Try harder
  18. Laika
    No you see we need our own Kevin Parada
  19. Laika
    He's like the Jordan Walker starter package, except LHB Would be fine in R2 and maybe even fine under slot in R1 depending on the rest of the draft

    Damn the Jays' comp pick for Chapman is way down at 136 Disgusting! I guess it gives them more flexibility with money though, if they want to take a tougher sign / dropper at 20th or 59th.
  21. Laika
    I don't know the stats but it just seems like they bust a lot
  22. Laika
    I really don't like taking catchers with bad defense. Moore just doesn't seem like a 1st rounder to me. His OPS is substantially lower than other Pac12 draft guys like Nick McLain who are ranked like 200th.
  23. Laika
    I'd love to see Toronto pick this 5'6" guy Slade Caldwell

    #25 Moore, a draft-eligible sophomore, is going to end up with a team that values batted-ball data over performance — he had terrible luck at the plate this spring but he was not punching out and his contact quality points to a higher average than he had on balls in play. Moore hit .255/.414/.553 for the Cardinal with just a .229 BABIP, a full hundred points down from his BABIP as a freshman, even though he makes plenty of hard contact. There was a little more than bad luck at work here, to be fair; he put a lot of non-strikes in play and had worse results on those pitches than he did on pitches in the zone, so there’s a pitch selection aspect to his performance as well. He has great bat speed and had no trouble with elite velocity the few times he saw this spring. Moore is a below-average defender right now and scouts are mixed on whether he can stay at catcher; the arm is the worst tool here and his other deficiencies could improve with different coaching. He’s going to be a bat-first catcher if he stays there. ^ Keith Law 3 days ago I'd rather see them swing for the fences with a prep SS or very toolsy college player

    sss in his whole career decent xFIP in his whole career decent K-BB numbers decent stuff+ and location+
