    I can't think of an obvious reason to keep the no demotions rule. The people with s***** farms will use the extra space as expanded MLB roster depth. Do we think that is an issue? Maybe? We can make it so once a player is over the IP/PA threshold they can't be demoted (to solve the hoarding problem). We can still keep the rule where MiLB players are not force-promoted until they pass the PA/IP thresholds. Is that feasible in Fantrax or will the system f*** up their transactions once the green flag is gone?

    I likely won't do it any time soon. Would be real nice if someone else did.

    Reportedly Ljay Newsome is being left exposed in the Rule 5

    Baseball has brought this mechanical sign stealing blight upon itself by refusing to enforce the rules around foreign substances. I think the prevailing thought with the mechanical sign stealing by the Astros and whichever other teams have done it has probably been that it's close enough to what is accepted within the written and unwritten rules. It has always been accepted that players on the field are allowed to pick up on pitching signs and relay them. It has probably been about as accepted that if coaches can pick up on signals coming from the dugout with their eyeballs, that's fair game too. What gives these teams the confidence to make the leap to mechanical sign stealing is that MLB just does not seem to care all that much about strict rule compliance.

    I think enough time has passed for that to not be the case anymore. At least for Blue Jays fans, I would say that most people remember him simply as the team's best position player in the 2000s (yes, I am aware that he is probably not the #1 position player in fWAR from 2000-2009).

    Wisdom! He’s almost an archetype

    Yeah his fitness is a borderline non-story. Even if Vlad got in great shape (not likely), he'll still have that fat ass. He's not going to be able to change his body type. There is no athleticism miracle coming. It's more about preventing long-term breakdown for him. He needs to avoid ballooning.
  9. Laika
    Maybe. And then by August he’ll be fat again.

    Literally leaving the country would open him up to a lot of criticism

    lmao watch the video - he looks exactly the same. you can see his belly jiggling. the clothes are just more flattering than a full MLB uniform.

    Under MLB's proposal to shrink the minor leagues Bluefield is the one Blue Jays affiliate implicated. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/16/sports/baseball/mlb-minor-league-proposal.html

    Amazing that Kevin Pillar could switch teams, be exactly as average as before, and still win the hearts of every Giants fan just as hard. What a great dude.

    I will never understand basketball trades. Normal Powell seems like a replacement level player and he makes guaranteed money. Why would any team trade for him? Is the theory just that some other team might be willing to trade a more expensive player for him so that they save a few million dollars over the next few years? Ex., someone might trade a player who makes $38M total between this season and next season for Norm who makes like $30M over the next three seasons.

    Boxy needs to learn that mud-slinging is allowed but your content still needs to be like 2/3 quality contribution. If a poster does almost nothing but throw around insults and sarcastic responses and hangout in the cesspool politics thread then timeouts are justified.

    He’s a complete fluff ball. It’s important to bully the mods into submission too
  20. Laika
    Yeah I’ve read this angle before. If a team is going to make a dip into the QO FA market, it makes sense to do it rarely but do it hard. Toronto is perfectly positioned to sign multiple QO players this offseason if they want... I’d be shocked, but if they are signing one they might as well try hard to sign another one or two

    Just incredible to watch. Siakam is a superstar and complete player, FVV is a star now, Boucher, Hollis-Jefferson, and Davis were very effective at times. Lowry, Ibaka, OG, and McCaw are out and Norm has one of his dogshit games and they still win while at the end of a tough road trip. The growth of Boucher has been pretty cool. He looks like a legit contributor on both ends now.

    Name calling is a necessary hallmark of this board. Frankly, a lot of you are stupid and “posting respectfully” is not an effective way to keep the discussion here at a high quality. The chosen few cool posters need to continuously bully the dum dums or else the board will be overrun.
  23. Laika
    I don’t even see the argument for Verlander. Is there a legitimate one?
  24. Laika
    Plus the loss of Toronto's 2nd round pick, whatever that is valued at these days. Not the end of the world but Odorizzi isn't exactly the sexiest QO player.

    Holy s***, Wincky did it!
