    Hard to cheer for super teams like that

    Scouted defense for catchers is f***ing garbage anyway. It's just a massive arm strength bias. Danny Jansen was billed as a bat first prospect. Remember? That seems absurd now, he's the exact opposite.

    That was a legendary game. Legit happy for the Bucks.

    Moreno is probably more athletic than Rutschman though. And two years younger. He might have a chance of being the more well rounded player, all things considered, even if Rutschman is a captain behind the plate and all that s***
  5. Laika
    Francisco Mejia was a consensus top 20 guy and ranked as high as 11th and 5th overall, so Moreno should be extremely high

    It's possible but not a given. Punctuated experience is inferior to continuous experience for a bunch of different reasons.
  7. Laika
    No. The lost development time might be a handicap he is never able to get over. And he might have been overrated at times, anyway. Maybe he's made of glass?
  8. Laika
    Yeah. Don't get me wrong, Moreno is doing something special. He probably does have a slim chance to be a legit star.
  9. Laika
    Moreno's reasonable future value is not "best catcher in baseball". Think something more like, I dunno, Wilson Contreras.

    No, way too rich

    Lindor waking up?

    This is literally true for a rehabbing MLB player. He doesn't have to hustle because the games don't matter. They can do whatever they want in terms of taking him out early, days off, etc because the games don't matter. It is absolutely, one hundred percent, less strenuous than trying to slide into an MLB environment

    Almost done upgrading my team. Could be improved by a truly elite RP or two if anyone is selling

    Ray isn't allowed to smother the baseball in jizz anymore

    Charlie Montoyo is my spirit animal. Smile through the ******** in your life, guys.

    Pretty much! Someone might be able to point to a game or two but it would maybe be debatable. It's f***ing tough to properly deploy a s***** bullpen. Three games ago everyone wanted Castro used instead of Chatwood who blew the game... well look at Castro's ERA now. The pen just blows. It's s*** luck. Everyone should bask in it. Life is suffering and we all die. it's kind of funny and cool.

    Teams / people in the industry are a lot better at evaluating prospects now though. If you look at top 100 lists from this decade there typically aren't many complete busts in, say, the top 25. Outside of the top 50 is when you start to see the bust rate take off but you'll still see a decent amount of future stars in the 50-100 range. But the vast majority of prospects on your favourite team's top prospects list will break your heart.

    No, this is horseshit. Basically every reliever in baseball has a "decorated injury history". For most of them that is why they are relievers. Toronto's depth was fine/normal, they just got completely f***ed by injuries and s***** performances. So far.
  19. Laika
    "someone who can actually help the pen" has to, you know, exist first. It's not about his timing whatsoever. Were you alive when he came back too early and got hurt again?
  20. Laika
    Stop whining you f***ing pansies. Wow.
  21. Laika
    Not sure I like the Jud Fabian note in there though
  22. Laika
    He meant league average, but let's be honest - Grichuk has a very flimsy skill set and he's like, one tick of lost bat speed or foot speed away from being literally replacement level. There is no upside anymore. I just don't see it. Hope for 2 WAR and pray he doesn't turn into a total pumpkin at some point.
  23. Laika
    I think Toronto should front run the league and try to extend Charlie now while he isn't super popular. Classic buy low. Maybe a four year extension would do it?
  24. Laika
    Toronto has also drafted well recently so a pick from offering Semien a QO seems pretty solid.
  25. Laika
    I don't think they need any bats. Perhaps just a bench bat with great defensive skills. Relievers might be all they need. Could use one frontline starter of course but those are hard trades to make. Not sure they need to trade for SP depth - kind of depends on Pearson and the health of some other guys going forward.
