    Drafted or signed as an amateur and graduated since 2016: Bichette, Kirk, Moreno, Biggio, Manoah, Schneider, Pearson, Horwitz. I don't think that's horrendous. There is a real star in there and a couple of guys who have looked like stars for a whole season. Go compare it to say the Yankees or Red Sox. Yeah it's not in the top third of the league but it's not a hopeless track record. Finding guys like Davis Schneider out of nowhere is also an insanely good signal.

    Welcome to minor league baseball where 90% of top prospects don't make it Fact is the Jays system looks much better than it did a year ago. It didn't flourish or anything but there was a big improvement in depth. For every flop there was like 2 emergences

    Luis Urias, baby The small market Mariners.
  4. Laika
    Ms must think Carlos Vargas is the next Andres Munoz
  5. Laika
    I'd be trading him if his value is peaking right now given the FA context hacker with fringe defense... not exactly a comfortable guy to extend for a decade anyway
  6. Laika
    He has chronic and serious spinal issues. I don't think he's going to get back to normal. It wasn't just a string of bad luck and some soft tissue injuries... More like end of career Prince Fielder s***.

    Simply add Matt Mervis
  8. Laika
    I am very into this now. We could get Matt Mervis!
  9. Laika
    Morel would be the LF. He's basically Teoscar 2.0.
  10. Laika
    It's just an exact value match on that baseballtradevalues website I am sure the Cubs are shopping Morel though
  11. Laika
    Yeah Toronto would need to follow it up with some kind of offensive infusion. Signing a big bat elsewhere. It'll never happen anyway.
  12. Laika
    Of course the Cubs aren't offering Hoerner. They are probably trying to get Bo for Morel and prospects, lul.
  13. Laika
    Dunno about that but the basic theory is that he'd be a slight downgrade on Bo at SS but Toronto would gain 1 year of SS control and Morel who is a spare part for Chicago
  14. Laika
    Hoerner + Morel would be the meat of the trade
  15. Laika
    I don't think any good bat needs to settle for a pillow deal this off-season. Best hope for something similar to that is just one of the good geezers on a one year deal.
  16. Laika
    He is bad at pretty much everything
  17. Laika
    Terrible player
  18. Laika
    Yeah they are going to trade for Manoah and really make it ugly
  19. Laika
    omfg Lynn and Gibson is pretty gross and adding them both to a Mikolas rotation is puke. Zack Thompson, Steven Matz, Mathew Liberatore, Sem Robberse, Adam Kloffenstein. It's the ugliest rotation in MLB history. Not the WORST in history just the ugliest. almost NO upside beyond league average innings eater performances. I think they best they can hope for is 3 WAR from maybe Mikolas or Matz?

    Something like this 1. Ricky Tiedemann 2. Orelvis Martinez 3. Arjun Nimmala 4. Brandon Barriera 5. Alan Roden 6. Addison Barger 7. Leo Jimenez 8. Damiano Palmegiani 9. Enmanuel Bonilla 10. Adam Macko 11. Spencer Horwitz 12. Cade Doughty 13. Hagen Danner 14. Connor Cooke 15. Yosver Zulueta 16. Hayden Juenger 17. Dahian Santos 18. Josh Kasevich 19. Tucker Toman 20. Kendry Rojas Chad Dallas, Peyton Williams, Alex De Jesus, Will Robertson, Adrian Pinto, Manuel Beltre, Victor Arias, Irv Carter, CJ Van Eyk, Mason Fluharty, Michael Dominguez, Dasan Brown, Gabriel Martinez are some other names that could either round out a top 30 or slide into the top 20 based on preference. I know nothing of the 2023 draftees other than Arjun Nimmala; it is very possible a few of them belong on the top 20. Did Davis Schneider lose prospect status? If not, he's my #2.

    Well he was very good last year too. You can see this in some of the fancy stats like Fenwick and Point Shares. Even basic stuff though like his shots on goal - 293 last year, big jump.

    98 stuff+ and 100 location+ in his 31 2023 innings those figures were 107 and 102 in his 2021 small sample and 104/101 in 2020 he seemed cooked in 2023 that's for sure. velo and stuff decline is notable. got shelled in AAA. not sure he would be worth the gamble of an MLB roster spot for Toronto but 98/100 is close to viable for a SP. there are quality innings eaters with that kind of profile.
  23. Laika
    fWAR is the better WAR for hitters and it's not close IMO but there are arguments against fWAR for pitchers. It just uses FIP. That can be dumb for many pitchers. e.g. guy plays his whole career in a park his whole career where homers are 13% more likely, fWAR just assumes every HR was all his fault! obviously not fair
  24. Laika
    It's really dumb
  25. Laika
    BRef for catchers sort of kind of includes cERA
