    Winter ball and spring training are not relevant. The question is how much he can rake in the majors; he was a generational minor league hitter as a teenager so it's a given that he will mash anywhere that is not regular season major league baseball.

    It's only been two weeks. It wouldn't be that bizarre to see a 55% groundball rate the rest of the way and pedestrian production. I don't think that will happen though. I'm buying the narrative and the improvements. I think he's figured it out.

    Same. Losing two MacKinnon games and two Doughty games is not really something I can overcome. They also don't even get red flagged so I can't replace the man games. Horseshit
  4. Laika
    Nah. Not like this. You know what, I stand corrected. I checked his 15 game rolling wOBA on Fangraphs and there was one period in July/August 2019 when he was this good. I guess we need to wait a couple more weeks before crowning him.

    Jansen is cooked. Yikes. Such a disappointing career. Does he look too f***ing skinny to anyone else? Where are the biceps man?
  6. Laika
    Yeah he looks amazing this year in every facet. Running the bases well, doing the splits at first, hurting baseballs. Not some fat DH after all! I wonder if he could handle LF...

    Can't even see Buntoyo having the nuts to do that. Biggio probably hurt his finger or something
  8. Laika
    Chaz Roe is awesome.
  9. Laika
    What is going on with Biggio? Offensive issues getting in his head on defense? He just whiffed on a soft liner.
  10. Laika
    Oh I'm very happy with the trade as a B's fan. Gave up nothing for the guy too.
  11. Laika
    Can't be an elite offensive player if you can't score. Looks like he is a playmaker whose defense has fallen off a cliff. Like a DH who can only hit singles. Very glad I dumped him on TCA for Schenn and Doughty.
  12. Laika
    I guess you'd have to wait for him to get three starts. This is a reasonable case for a manual override though. There's really no sensible argument for making you wait for him to get P eligibility

    I feel awful for young first time home buyers but at the same time I can't see prices ever really going. If people can qualify for a mortgage I think they should just suck it up and ape into the market. It's a never ending real estate bull market in Canada.

    It's people from outside Toronto choosing to move up north. I have had multiple clients here selling for obscene amounts of money to Toronto buyers. They are selling for $800k here and then paying half that for a bigger house on the east coast or way up north.

    Lindsay doesn't have much going on. Maybe find a place in between there and Peterborough

    Palacios is a fringe CF at best. Davis can really go get it.
  17. Laika
    Espinal and Davis hitting above Jansen, and those two plus Palacios all outperforming him in a laugher, has to just humble Danny terribly. Yikes he has a true AAAA stick.
  18. Laika
    I think we need a Bo Bichette bobble count thread. Bobble Bichette.

    I don't think it's that simple. You don't have to let every player "fail" at the best position they might be able to play. Machado going straight to 3B was a fantastic decision by the s*** birds, for example. He was an uber-elite 3B and likely more valuable there than he would have been at shortstop. Bo's internal clock might be a bit too tightly wound for short. Less thinky more grabby throwy might suit him better.
  20. Laika
    Chris Owings an illegal red flag add or did he not have a flag earlier today? I see that he played last night so maybe Fx took the flag off for a bit
  21. Laika
    Gegrom is going to throw a 16 K, no walk, complete game one to nothing loss right?
  22. Laika
    You're not wrong. They also let him practice third base instead of first for the last two years, lol.
  23. Laika
    It's just so frustratingly obvious that the best defensive alignment right now is Bo at third, Cavan at second, Semien at short. It's awkward as f*** that they are all out of position because Bo wants to be a shortstop.
  24. Laika
    He's athletic and aggressive but not spectacularly athletic. It's not like we see him make a bunch of 5 star plays in between the errors. He has been an inconsistent playmaker since entering the league. I'm not concerned at all about the bat. He's a preternatural hitter, but he's a third baseman. His tendencies and skills make it possible for him to be an elite defensive third baseman too. Machado or Donaldson skill set, sort of.

    Lawlar could go #1
