Bat flips in heaven

This is like saying it's good that your rookie SP had TJS in June because he might cost less in arbitration.
-
I expected an answer like this. Wow. Quack quack.
-
I don't know a lot about hockey. Maybe they are expecting to call him back up this year?
-
I'm kind of surprised he wasn't just part of the Goldy package.

"tons of upside in those names"
-
"Pitching depth" can be such a euphemism. A lot of those prospects have serious warts and/or are probably just relievers. In all likelihood, out of this crop Toronto will get 1 back-end or mid-rotation SP, a few decent RP, and the rest will be replacement level or busts. (this isn't really a criticism or anything directed at you, Ray. Just a general thought about the term)
-
Why the f*** would he? Or should he? - No head contact - Wilson had *just* touched the puck - Wilson put himself in the vulnerable position - It's not even a traditionally vulnerable spot on the ice, where you might expect the hitter to be cautious. It's open ice and Wilson took a weird route to make himself vulnerable and then watched his own pass like an idiot.
-
That OF looks pretty sweet to me. Not to mention that Michael A. Taylor is maybe an excellent 4th OF.
-
Rays name Jonathan Erlichman, 28 years old, as a (hopefully) uniformed coach. Process and analytics coach. Wow!

BP Introduces New Offensive Statistic in DRC+
Laika replied to Spanky99's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
There's not really much to fix - he should just regress in the right direction. The problem is that $17.5M is a lot for a ~2.0-2.5 win 1B in this climate. Layer the Hoskins defensive position stuff on top, which made Santana simply an awkward piece for Philly to have. -
BP Introduces New Offensive Statistic in DRC+
Laika replied to Spanky99's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Babe Ruth's 10,000+ PA career is not a big enough sample for DRC+ to stop assuming he is less talented than his production, lol. (I'm assuming their formula just isn't properly tuned for the past). -
The M's are throwing RPs gratuitously into deals like they are playing in a 20 team fantasy league.
-
I'll gladly take on Mike Leake and his contract. Can't see the M's trading Haniger though -- at least not in a deal like that.
-
I don't think they realllllllly need a SP. I guess they could benefit from a reliable #3 type workhorse, but you can't really call Stroman that. Sure, their rotation looks a lot better with another front end SP but every team's does. Nola Pivetta Arrieta Velasquez Eflin Eickhoff De Los Santos Sixto Eshelman etc.

Contract but expand MLB/MiLB rosters so replacement level is the same = not the worst solution. -
Wow, the Kareem Hunt video is a lot more benign than I expected.
-
Avisail Garcia is like Teoscar Hernandez except fatter and somehow better at defense and baserunning.
-
Bruce is a $26M future sunk cost. Swarzak is an $8M future sunk cost. Mets therefore are getting $94M in "money" from the Mariners. Cano is under contract for 5/$120M. Mets essentially are getting Cano for 5/$26M or whatever. Cano can still ball. Diaz is perhaps worth more than the two prospects.
-
Wow! This flips the whole deal around. The Mariners are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee[censored]ed
-
Jeff McNeil is getting a lot of love during these rumours. I can almost feel his DDL value getting higher.
-
If by "massive" you mean "pathetic", then perhaps
-
In what f***ing world is this the right course for the Mets. DeGrom has two more years of arbitration and Syndergaard has three -- just keep them both for now. Trading Syndergaard after he has dealt with recent injury issues seems dumb. Extending DeGrom after his 9 win season is more dumb. So why not do both?
-
These are the type of no-brainer trades that nearly every GM and their mother (and every dynasty baseball owner) want to pull off. It's harder than you think because it's hard to find a trade partner who wants to do the other side of it.
