    Am I missing something or are 100% of these athletes testing positive completely free of any and all notable symptoms?

    League altering trade earlier today! With a very clear fun side and very clear boring side

    Carlos, it appears that your terrible baseball opinions are the root cause of you feeling unwelcome. May I kindly suggest getting smarter about baseball?

    They didn’t give up - they went nuclear and won. It’s over, Japs.
  5. Laika
    I would be shocked, yes. These players have smart representatives who are capable of seeing the unique downside risks in not signing in this context.

    Extremely hard to imagine any player from this draft turning down a reasonable offer, particularly college players. There is a non-zero chance that Covid will mess up the draft in 2021 too, either from a second wave or the economic fallout of this 2020 wave. Nick Frasso isn't going to turn down half a million dollars and Austin Martin isn't going to turn down whatever it is that Toronto can offer him.

    On the general subject of board improvement, is there a technical issue with new signups? I tried to make a new account a couple of weeks ago before this one was reactivated and it did not work - I never received the confirmation email.

    I think once this has settled down, a News thread in the OT section could be fine as long as it is moderated for personal attacks and spillover out of it is swiftly moderated.

    You are tempting me already.

    It’s a bit of both but there’s a difference between saying “you’re an idiot because that opinion about baseball is horrendous” and “you’re an idiot because you’re a libtard”. There’s a right time for the former on a baseball forum but the latter is strictly negative on the culture

    This is specifically why I took a long hiatus from the message board this year. This is very welcome and long overdue. Those political threads were consuming the board, spilling over into most other threads, and causing deep rifts between active members. There are an infinite number of places on the internet to talk politics - a Toronto Blue Jays message board does not need to be one.

    Funny, I just googled it and saw that Jim Callis himself put an 80 on Bryant's raw power in 2013. I'm sure their in-context grades would be about the same but maybe Torkelson would be perceived as having a more elite eye/approach.
  13. Laika
    Nobody was putting 60 hit 80 power grades on Trout or even Harper at the time of the draft though. Future 80 for Harper but he needed time to develop. I think that’s what Callis would clarify his point as - best offensive talent as scouted on present grades at the time of the drafts. It’s a stupid little needle but I’m sure that’s what he was thinking
  14. Laika
    There's what he typed and what he meant - not necessarily the same thing. Callis probably just means best present offensive talent (hit/power) at the time of the draft. Being said, I'm not even sure there is separation between Torkelson and Andrew Vaughn.

    Technically would have had to promote Handsome at our cut deadline as extra picks were supposed to be eliminated then. This was our last draft under our old rules with a cut deadline. In all future new player drafts you can just promote or cut when your picks come up, I think. That's how the LoD does it and it works a bit better from an administrative perspective.
  16. Laika
    You’re right I guess. He wasn’t able to make that final pick so that minor league guy needs to be dropped
  17. Laika
    I did it but you are a commissioner yo. You need to move one MiLB player to your bench
  18. Laika
    Fuuuuuuuck I have some good prospects now. The Two Year Plan.
  19. Laika
    It shows up as a violation but enforcement is turned off. This prevents people from demoting players without green flags, but it doesn’t penalize people for not calling up a player who loses a green flag
  20. Laika
    I dunno, 95% of the time people just play their players. There would be some rare scenarios where benching a SP might help in one and hurt in the secondary matchup. Strategy
  21. Laika
    Huh. Seems like a great way to make the season less random and balance out a "longer" schedule.
  22. Laika
    Anyone notice this option in Fantrax? "Number of matchups each team plays each scoring period:" You can play two or more people at once! Not going to use it for the DDL but the LoD might want to.
  23. Laika
    Ah I see. Actually hurl is done too. Never added Miguel Hiraldo. That means Dinger picks to fill out his minor league roster and then we are done.
  24. Laika
    Nothing quite like seeing your favourite team's generational franchise wunderkind immediately reveal himself as a tub-of-lard who specializes specifically and only in hitting balls very hard straight into the ground
