Fine, I'll give you a small pick upgrade for Domingo.
-
Everybody and their mother wants Rendon I'm pretty dumb-founded that you had no interest in those pieces. Seemed like clear upgrades all around. Avisail Garcia in particular is clearly a legit bat.

Your reputation is spiraling around the toilet so I disagree

Honestly depends on the second piece. Houston has some solid dudes on the farm. -
That has nothing to do with your immature avatar thing
-
I got this. I can fix your whole team in one fresh deal. Update: nevermind then
-
It’s honestly pathetic

Sometimes you mortgage the future to sustain a dynasty. The provincial Libs ran the thing for like 15 years. Nothing lasts forever. Wynne is kind of like Steph Curry. The crowd's reaction to Wynne would not have been much worse than whatever their reaction was to JT.

Who was the fairly recent baseball prospect who played junior hockey? I remember it was super random and might have been a black guy from California. Did I dream this?
-
Yes. For a college junior, the drafting team loses the right to sign them although I'm not sure if this technically happens on the "signing deadline" or when they return to school. They would be draft eligible again after their senior year. For a college senior, I suppose if they don't sign and don't return to school they would be a free agent, although if they don't sign it's probably because they'd rather not play baseball. For a high school kid that doesn't sign and chooses to attend school the choices are basically: - Go to a four year school and be eligible again after your junior year - Go to a Junior College and be draft eligible the next year (draft eligible every year out of JuCo) - Do the Carter Stewart and go to Japan! I'm not sure what the options would be for the delinquent high school draftee who chooses not to sign, refuses to attend school, and does not want to sign in an international league. I'm guessing they would try to sign an independent league contract for a year and then might be a form of free agent???

He read all of your posts and quit baseball

I heard a prospect podcast compare Daniel Espino's "bad" arm action to Bumgarner's and I thought that was pretty coooool

- I doubt it - What a remarkable thing to even say! Are you a Ford volunteer or something?

Cesar Puello was hitting .390/.500/.683 for the Angels with 0.9 fWAR in only 12 games. They DFA'd him today. Tough!
-
The fans generally don't even care that much either. Ask any actual Raptors fan and they will tell you that if Kawhi leaves they'll still love him forever. There is a soft assumption that this was just an amazing fling. Pleading for him to stay is like begging the girl you meet during your week in Spain to fly home with you forever. Agreed embarrassing.

Kyle Tucker alone would be so overly sufficient that Houston would probably stop returning Toronto's phone calls. Derek Fisher is a toolsy player who they would definitely let go because of his demonstrated bust potential. Imagine if Billy McKinney had a black guy's name and some black guy tools but was actually still white and maybe not any better. They have at least a dozen intriguing pitching prospects to deal. I think several other teams would go harder for Stroman though (Houston's pitching depth is not bad and Stroman is not the Ace injection that a team like Houston will really be looking for). -
Yes - MLB rule 4 signing deadline. I think that is July 12th or 13th
-
Deivi Garcia and Luis Gil are intriguing. Clarke Schmidt. Most of their other arms are either not developing or stalling out in the upper minors for whatever reason.
-
Well he also has not been that good in AAA, outside of 2018. 2016 - 100 wRC+ 2017 - 100 wRC+ 2018 - 140 wRC+ 2019 - 110 wRC+ I would not expect an average-ish AAA hitter to be anything but a decidedly below average MLB hitter, so just layer some bad luck on top of that and there you go.

it's not super rare. Mac Williamson is another current guy who really exemplifies it. Some skill sets just don't translate
-
Interesting guy throwing for Vancouver in Luke Gillingham. Drafted out of Navy in 2016 (37th round), hasn't pitched since 2016 so I'm assuming he served. Had crazy good numbers his junior year of college. Crafty lefty type.

Jim the best

The police department are the ones making something out of nothing by not swiftly dropping the matter

Meh. The size would mostly make me concerned about degenerative knee stuff, which would be super unlikely to affect him during the team he will be in the organization. Might matter in his 30s.
