    Let's not lose sight of the crux of all of this: German Marquez is not a fantasy Ace because this is not an xFIP league and Vidal Brujan is an easy top 20 prospect in baseball who could very well be a consistent 20/40 MIF. Gio Urshela is just a really good dude and I'm happy for him this year

    Only 83 IP so far this year. What would the plan be for 2020? Let him start until he hits like 130 or something then move him out of the rotation?

    Big Nate promoted to AAA
  5. Laika
    20 game suspension for being accused of domestic violence
  6. Laika
    Gio Urshela belief-o-meter update?

    Four home runs! Four seamer Four seamer Curveball Curveball hmmmmm lol maybe getting a guy with bad command to throw lots of mediocre four-seamers and rainbow curveballs isn't the perfect idea everyone thought it was

    Nobody should have any hope for Sean Reid-Foley, sadly. I'm not even sure that he profiles as a decent RP anymore - seems like the fastball has taken a notable step backwards. Just an astoundingly disappointing season for the prospect, after his command seemed to take a step forward finally in 2018. Ten. Straight. Balls. (to the face)

    I will give you this - your Grant77 impersonation is perfect.

    So... yes? RIP TVA

    What year is it?
  12. Laika
    Well that's a dumb assumption, fitting for an anus to make.
  13. Laika
    Yeah his 2017 in AAA was crazy and set some expectations
  14. Laika
    I don't know if that stuff is anywhere. On BP you can see some numbers by league, but they are pretty limited. https://legacy.baseballprospectus.com/sortable/index.php?cid=3039025

    "Only team I’ve seen in baseball where these moves seem to sneak up on them so regularly.#BlueJays" Said the man who has the following resume: TSN Toronto Sun Calgary Sun mom’s house on Elgin womb Pretty sure the Blue Jays are the only team in baseball you've ever been on the beat for, Scotty.

    Coincidentally I don't believe in Jon Gray so maybe we line up once the trade embargo is over

    and YASIEL PUIG FOR THE STRETCH RUN HOW WOULD YOU EVER FORGET ABOUT PUIG

    People in this thread seem really confused. Probably hangover from baseball's free agent market fallout. But here is a good rule of thumb - a player on a free agent contract is likely not an "asset" relative to his contract. Start from this assumption every time. Exceptions apply for players that have demonstrated projectable improvements (talent change), and perhaps for higher-end players depending on the landscape of the trade market. I maintain that Freddy Galvis is essentially a non-asset so I won't abide any talk about bad asset-management. Sure, they could have perhaps talked a team into giving up a useless prospect like Demi Orimoloye for him, but they probably tried. He was an adequate placeholder. He was a lot more entertaining than Urena would have been.

    Pardinho's K and BB rates aren't as dominant as I'd like them to be. I wonder if he is still searching for some crispness on his arsenal. Only 37.2 innings this year. Probably starts 2020 in Dunedin regardless.
  20. Laika
    There are also some weather considerations. He'll be on some sort of innings limit and should be handled carefully anyway. I bet they'll spare him the first month of New Hampshire weather.

    There's an argument for it but it's not as obvious. AAA numbers aside, Rowdy Tellez is not really a good prospect and not somebody that you ever make roster room for. It also depends on the player... if Smoak is content and happy in Toronto, they might want to sign him back for 2020 on a cheap deal to plug the 1B hole, or at least keep the option open, so releasing makes no sense. With Galvis there seemed to be some consideration for the fact that his starting spot was gone and a "contender" would probably claim him and he would prefer a heavier role with a "contender". But who knows, maybe they will cut Smoak loose to maybe save some coin. I just find it funny that guys like you, who are obviously not stupid, will do these mental contortions and throw lines like "Tellez is killing AAA" into some weird justification for releasing Justin Smoak as some sort of weird parallel in order to get their panties in a knot about Freddy Galvis leaving town for nothing. Jesus! Shapiro and Atkins need to hire some better PR because this fan environment is stupid.

    Gio Urshela
  23. Laika
    Just sign a newer, better piece in the off-season for Galvis’ projected role. Jesus, you f***ing crybabies
  24. Laika
    Wasn’t he also the youngest qualified arm in A ball before the promotion? Or at least close to the youngest. This guy is special

    I will beat you ruthlessly
