    Yahoo should always just use pictures of another random player when they don't have one on file

    - Giles comment - Bunting too much - Stupid ugly face?

    Kay is being a bit underrated here. SWR is the more exciting player because of stats and upside, but in terms of value Kay and SWR are close to equal right now. His stuff and pedigree and history also indicate that it would be pretty wise to not focus too much on the smaller sample K and BB rates or ERA. He could be pretty freaking good! Watch him pitch!

    Huh. Anthony Kay and Marcus Stroman are both from Long Island. High schools are a 20 minute drive apart.

    Kaprelian had TJS subsequent to his 2017 prospect rankings and before the trade, and Fowler had suffered a catastrophic leg injury two days before the trade. Not exactly a clean comparable. Also Jorge Mateo was woefully overrated by the New York Hype Maccccccchine.

    SWR is in rare statistical company as far as recently historical A ball prospects go. It's like trading for Luis Patino a year ago. Could be great! If you filter for A ball, 18 years old, 70+ IP, and >20% K-BB% in the last two decades, there are like 8 total names and SWR is one of them. Thor, Bumgarner, Patino, SWR... and year, Shelby Miller, Jordan Lyles, Jason Knapp and another dude this year.

    Not a great return, fam. SWR has real upside but I'm surprised a SAL arm was the best return available for Stroman. At least he has a three letter acroname to pair with SRF. Kay seems like a backend SP prospect right now.

    Also sounds like Bo is on his way up. Removed from Buffalo's game early.

    DISCUSS?!? why? who?

    I think he has good "athleticism" for his size, good hands and arm... problem is his range is just so f***ing bad because of his massive girth that he will always be a poor defender.
  13. Laika
    A decent amount, actually? Players tend to be their most athletic when they are youngest. Defense, speed, and velocity can all peak at the very beginning of a player's career (sometimes before they even make MLB). Obviously some players improve defensively with experience (improvements from year 1 to year 2/3 are common) but some are their best in their young 20s.

    Hopefully he’s the f***ing third piece

    Chris Martin, Rangers closer, 10.75 K/BB with a .265 OBPA and 2.92 xFIP, available to boost a competing team.

    Update?
  17. Laika
    Speaking of Woj... 16.3% Swinging Strike rate. I wonder if he figured something out.

    The childish insults were just the flavour. I displayed how you were wrong with facts and reason and my brains. You had no rebuttal, hence the quoted post with no substance. Sad! Poke a hole in the below, you 6'6" piece of s***: Toronto released him - FACT He retired - FACT He would have kept playing if Toronto never released him - SPECULATION He would have retired if Toronto never released him - SPECULATION

    Toronto released him - FACT He retired - FACT He would have kept playing if Toronto never released him - SPECULATION He would have retired if Toronto never released him - SPECULATION Nobody in your family loves you - FACT Pizza is bad where you live - FACT or SPECULATION????!!!!

    (whispers: you're f***ing speculating too you insufferable bag of dicks)

    I think BTS was the one who dropped him so perhaps. Wow, just realized that I was the one who traded him Arrieta in the offseason - for Ramon Laureano, who is good!
  22. Laika
    Jake was dropped two weeks ago in other 20 team board league(s)
  23. Laika
    Who is this person and how did they get this job?
  24. Laika
    If Tulo was still with Toronto and under that contract, retirement would mean him giving up the money. But Toronto released him from the contract. Essentially the new deal was Toronto agreeing to pay him the same salary to not play for them. Annoying, but it lets him retire and still get the money. And if he had not been released, I doubt he retires and foregoes the ~20M or whatever it is, so it's a moot point. Too bad they couldn't find some way to get someone to take on the contract.
  25. Laika
    And now there is a Toronto media tweet saying the Jays are not being offered top prospects for Stroman. You guys know better than to react to media hype. Just wait and see.
