    11-9 (55%) some were impossible some I only got because I knew the pitcher's repertoire! classifying pitches is some "is a hot dog a sandwich" bs

    LMAO Vlad's first DWL game... K, GO, GO, GO. Three balls hit into the dirt at about 45 degrees. Classic. https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-jays-guerrero-jr-struggles-offensively-winter-ball-debut/

    That changes quite a bit, actually.

    It has nothing to do with Kepler and everything to do with Seager. Why do you hate Corey Seager so much?

    no i am not you talking beer bottle

    draft room seems to work well...

    I don't think either front office cares in any conscious way, but they are still humans and humans can't outthink their biases. There are certain fallacies that will always operate in the brains of men.

    Really too bad the Rays and Jays are in the same division. Otherwise, the Snell trade fit would be so obvious. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/12/rays-rumors-catchers-trade-free-agency.html

    I don't think any player fits this description
  10. Laika
    He's not comparing them as players, just as assets (trade value)

    Yeah imagine if Kay had success as an MLB starter in 2020 and now had solid projections. That's Dunning
  12. Laika
    Dunning >> Hatch and Kay. This is a pretty gross trade for the Sox, IMO.

    Just remember that this current Dodgers front office traded Yordan Alvarez for like nothing. None of these front offices are infallible. Toronto has a good one though.

    Are these picks all inputted? Looks like we are through 6 or 7 already.
  15. Laika
    So what you're saying is you're a little wiener and you are scared of the big bad Dodgers?
  16. Laika
    Who at the time was saying that Kendall Williams was nothing?
  17. Laika
    Well MAX it would be like, 6 wins. Lindor has a 7+ WAR season under his belt and Gurriel has never touched 2 WAR.

    The one that got away... doesn't sound as exciting as Kloff. This is from Prospects Live.

    Arenado signed an 8 year extension one year from free agency that added 7/$234 for him after his final arb year. That's probably the low-end for Lindor and the two players are pretty similar... excellent two-way players, same career wRC+. Being said, Machado and Lindor are also similar players and Machado got his $300M. We know that Lindor is looking for $300M. I guess Arenado's opt-out complicates the comparison though.

    Why would you be "wary" of that? He's an elite two-way player and possible future hall of famer. He's 27. The 3rd best position player in the league since 2015 when he broke in. If he's willing to go long with Toronto they should get it on paper that minute, before he changes his mind. These aren't the type of players who even give Toronto a second thought most of the time. It's not your money and Toronto has the payroll space.

    The original reporter's tweet says "six other family/relations" so I guess it's possible that some of these "relations" are not actually family and are maybe friends or people in his community. I'm not sure why the reporter would write family/relations if it was just six other family members.

    Even if he's not a true talent +10 defender, 2019 still happened. You're not quite understanding what it means for a stat to take a while to stabilize. His career stats already "average out" his defensive prowess across three seasons, and he's been a 2.6 fWAR player in 181 games while probably getting very unlucky offensively. It doesn't make any sense to just steal wins from him retroactively. It's like you're saying "if this player was worse I would be right". And if anything the current state of defensive metrics drastically underrate decent catchers.
  23. Laika
    Why would anyone concede that?
  24. Laika
    Bad comps happening ITT. McKinney and Drury were at best post-hype sleepers at the time of the Happ trade... Jansen is a solid C with clear and demonstrable upside. The comparison might be fair if Jansen had been a replacement level catcher the last two years and was now projected as a non starter in Toronto
  25. Laika
    Well... Toronto hasn't done those things. Even if they do, they can do better than Lynn if they are shipping out Jansen.
