By "all of the real life major sports" I meant just the NHL, obviously.
-
Sorry, I just can't stomach someone winning the Crown and then not picking last. There's a reason all of the real life major sports give the playoff champion the last draft pick (I could say the same about all the other draft slots but whatever).
-
I wonder if you should cycle back even further. Now is the time to get rid of Ozzie. This could be the sell window for Bieber and Martinez and Peter Alonso and Haniger. Last year was the time to flip Castillo and Bour (oops too late).
-
I guess he wins either way.

New rule RE pick order, effective immediately: - league playoff champion will pick last (20th) - picks 19 through 13 to be the remaining playoff teams in order of regular season record (ignoring Yahoo standings that factor in Divisional winners) - picks 12 through 6 to be the non-playoff teams by regular season records - picks 1-5 to be decided the same way, by weighted lottery

General 2018 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

Gaviglio is making a good impression as a potential multi-year rubber arm. Carlos Villanueva vibes? Maybe the bullpen makes more sense for him than AAA. How about Gaviglio in a Rays-esque 1.5 times through the order role? Tim Mayza - The Opener, 1 inning. Followed by Gaviglio or SRF. Actually now that I'm on the topic... Toronto's 2019 pitching staff, which has a number of young guys and mediocre veterans, is perfectly situated to adopt the Rays formula. Openers (1-2 innings): Mayza, Tepera, Barnes, Petricka, Hector Perez? Innings Eaters (3-5 innings after the Opener): Pannone, SRF, Gaviglio, Paulino, Guerrieri, Biagini, Lieter Jr..... maybe Perez is better here. -
To be truly Right you need to have skin-in-the-game. As soon as Boxy dropped Didi, he lost that and became just a Tawker whose Didi opinions can be validly ignored.
-
Yes But to be completely fair Kohl Kalhoon and Jor-dyn Hix were also involved.
-
I would never purport to not be high and mighty. High and mighty is my persona, basically.
-
They were all off the table individually haha. Even for Votto + Price he wasn't willing to lead a package with Dylan f***ing 6.00 FIP Bundy. I think he offered Hosmer + Teheran
-
I remember when Arizona traded Bauer for Didi and Kevin Towers said Didi reminded him of a young Derek Jeter and everybody laughed. I guess he has been pretty close in terms of value over the last few years.
-
He told me, and I s*** you not, that all of Bundy, Ozuna, Didi, Polanco and Urias were off the table for Votto and Price.
-
Bump Now accepting offers unless you are named after a cat's anus, in which case please don't waste my f***ing time

Welcome to the DDL Gentlemen's Club of Very Good Losers. Dinger, jaysblue, TRM (RIP) and I will scooch over for you.

Can you even skate?
-
I was just going to post those tweets. Debbie Trout is my new favourite player
-
Yeesh. Talk about being a Gleyber fanboi. It's Correa by like four miles. In any context, really.
-
Are there any pro players who are half Mexican, half Korean? Carlos Korea....
-
At least I hopped of that Carlos Correa train in time... .238/.323/.400 this year. Holy f***! Puig is murdering him

~10 fWAR and ~15 bWAR in what was basically only 4 full seasons. Dude was GOOD at the sport even when he wasn't good anymore. -

If you pull up video of Alford in 2018 vs 2017, his initial swing moves are all a lot more exaggerated this year. Herky-jerky leg kick and arm movements. Kind of looks like the s***** Brett Lawrie swing. I just think it's a timing/balance thing that he never figured out this season. Speaking of Brett, I wonder if we will ever get that satisfying explanation of why he decided to quit baseball at 27 years old. -
Even the Sportsnet stuff from this summer says 92-93, but it emphasizes his command, poise, yada yada yada. I've always thought of Pardinho like Julio Urias for some reason. I don't think it's fair to say he his only mid-rotation upside but I also don't think it's reasonable to dream on him yet. Just so little.
-
Definitely Boston. Lots of recent ire. - Phil Kessel trade - Brad Marchand, generally - The 2013 game 7 comeback - 2018 game 7 loss
-
This appears to be false, unless most of the public reports are wrong. I've always read 92-93 touching 95
-
You whined about the lack of high-upside SP prospects while failing to mention the two highest-upside arms (possibly) in the system.
