    Not if he sucks
  2. Laika
    So, nobody? He's the #6
  3. Laika
    That doesn't make sense. Fangraphs' own depth charts have the Jays as 3.7 wins better than the Rays
  4. Laika
    "it's a flawed system" says the player who clearly filed for way too much money and overestimated their own position
  5. Laika
    Well, Grayson Rodriguez of course. I do like Bradish.
  6. Laika
    Yeah so maybe people should stop tonguing their butthole for collecting seven Cole Irvins and moving the fences back 50 feet
  7. Laika
    It's fine to say the Jays don't have ideal SP depth but you have to acknowledge that pitching depth is fluid and the Jays have been consistently and constantly adding to it for the last couple years. Just seems like a dumb thing to criticize at this point, in this context. They've added a lot and they've also intentionally put some horses up front, which should matter. It's not a f***ing draft and hold league where the team you bring to camp is all you have all year long...

    Yeah behind four #5 SP and a rookie, haha. I think they have the third lowest projected P WAR in baseball
  9. Laika
    yeah it's a funny example. per mr kiley mcdaniel: Grayson Rodriguez, RHP, 60 FV Cade Povich, LHP, 50 FV D.L. Hall, LHP, 45+ FV Seth Johnson, RHP, 45 FV Drew Rom/LHP 40 FV Mike Baumann/RHP 40 FV Chayce McDermott/RHP 40 FV Carter Baumler/RHP 40 FV vs Ricky Tiedemann, LHP, 55 FV Brandon Barriera, LHP, 45+ FV Hayden Juenger, RHP, 45+ FV Yosver Zulueta, RHP, 45 FV Adam Macko, LHP, 45 FV Sem Robberse, RHP, 45 FV Dahian Santos/RHP, 40 FV Trent Palmer/RHP, 40 FV C.J. Van Eyk/RHP, 40 FV

    "oh I don't like the SP depth" well then make a f***ing time machine buddy. go back to 2015 or whatever and convince the Blue Jays to draft more and better arms and not trade any away.
  11. Laika
    ffs this is a tiresome point of discussion you don't just go out and sign "solid SP depth" you can try, but the more solid someone is = less likely they want to sign to a non-guaranteed or minor league role and good luck trading for it, because everybody and their grandma hoards optionable starters with talent the only way to get it is to develop it go find a team you think has good "SP depth" and I will guarantee that almost everyone on the minor league side of the depth chart was drafted or signed as an amateur by that organization, or traded for as a mid or low minors prospect Toronto landing Zach Thompson this offseason, with 3 options, was a small miracle IMO

    Probably as simple as the northern coastal cities absorbing Caribean culture

    It's normally not treated with surgery. Just rest and an exercise/throwing program.
  14. Laika
    He's in camp and throwing. I think they are just hoping he can stay healthy and be a reliever this year.
  15. Laika
    I don't see the s word anywhere. Article says White had a shoulder impingement in Jan and Atkins is “exceptionally confident that he is going to be in the mix.”

    yeah I guess many European countries don't seem to like baseball, but there is opportunity just based on the VOID of proper team sports they do like. look at Germany for example. they like soccer, they sort of like hockey... what else? basketball? I don't see why baseball couldn't eventually be cool in a country like that. What did basketball do to make momentum in Europe decades ago? It's essentially a pure North American export sport. I bet f***ing handball is in their top 8 most popular sports. Some of these European countries seem to be much more into individual sports and athletics.
  17. Laika
    yeah, no interest in going scorched earth ever, in any league

    SS Jackson Merrill - SD 8 SS Adael Amador - COL 19 SP Bryce Miller - SEA 35 SP Dylan Lesko - SD 38 RP Logan Allen - CLE 39 OF Samuel Zavala - SD 47 SS Warming Bernabel - COL 60 CF Drew Gilbert - HOU 80 SP Reese Olson - DET 100 SP River Ryan - LAD 120 Feel like I fully re-stocked my farm here. A top 20 prospect, seven guys who are clear or fringe top 100 prospects, and two pop up pitchers with stats and/or stuff. They join Oneil Cruz, Oswald Peraza, Bryan De La Cruz, and Hunter Brown on my farm and Johan Rojas currently on my bench. Pretty sick farm for a win-now MLB roster.
  19. Laika
    This draft was also much stronger than any prior prospect draft we have done, if my memory serves.
  20. Laika
    The areas more ripe for baseball popularity expansion are probably South American countries and the Asia-Pacific countries not currently into it, for whatever reason.
  21. Laika
    Or is the Fantrax point system just bunk? When you look at the players tab and view either 2022 points or projected season points, the top of the list is almost all pitchers. I kind of think their point system is just wrong. If you run the Fangraphs Auction Calculator with our initial stats (substituting in FIP for HR/9) pitchers #2 to #100 scale form $84 to $10 (I am ignoring DeGrom) and hitters #1 to #100 scale from $81 to $18 seems fine?
  22. Laika
    So we have 9 teams. That's just enough to run the league I think, so we are a go. I'll leave it open for another ~24 hours. Ideally we get a few more entrants so we can play with 12-15 teams. If we don't get close to 15 then I will expand rosters and add some extra positions. Expect the pitching categories to change before the draft. Ace pitchers are overvalued with these stats. I will change a stat or delete a ratio.

    Dinger implementing a Five Year Plan to make this last pick I guess
  24. Laika
    Look at the young core in 1985 Bell - 25 Moseby - 25 Barfield - 25 Stieb - 27 Key - 25 Fernandez - 23 Gruber - 23 Henke - 27 Even Mulliniks, Upshaw, and Clancy were under 30. They really only relied on two players 30 or older. Whitt and Doyle. I doubt Dennis Lamp or Garth Iorg mattered much. McGriff, Wells, and elite prospect Sil Campusano on the farm
  25. Laika
    I set it up for 15 teams but we can run this with anywhere from 10 to 20 teams, I think, and just adjust roster depth accordingly.
