I refuse to accept a future that is bright for BTS

wow really, I'm 6th?

He might still be f***ed up and the Mets might secretly be happy that he's still f***ed up because they hate him

"@NYPost_Mets As the Mets finalize their roster, they are considering Michael Conforto in a pinch-hitting role to begin the season, according to Mickey Callaway. Other possibility is Phil Evans for utility role." *blinks*

You can make specific negative points about almost every team in baseball. Try to do the same thing you just did but list positives instead. Or better yet, remove your own bias and see what the team-level projections say (Toronto tied as the 8th best team in baseball, 86 wins, 2nd Wild Card spot). To say that Martin has not been good since 2016 is just not true. Last year he had a 100 wRC+ and was worth 1.8 wins in only 365 PA. Sure, he shouldn't hit 5th. But the team has some decent lineup flexibility and guys like Grichuk, Granderson, Pearce could all slide into the 4th through 6th spots if the other guys falter. It's really not a big deal. They already have a massive backup C improvement in Danny Jansen - he's just starting the season in the minors for common sense reasons but he's basically MLB ready. Saying that they have no SP depth is also a bit of a lie. Biagini is arguably an MLB quality #5 SP and he's starting the year in AAA. Guys like Borucki, Guerrieri, Pannone (after 80 games) are basically MLB ready and they actually have upside too, so they are actually the best type of depth in baseball (antifragile depth). I agree that the bullpen is just mediocre but there's really no basis in data for saying that Osuna is inconsistent.

"Last thing Healy said to an unidentified Ranger was “you’ve never hit a ball that far in your life,” and then he strolled over to the other field and took Sadzeck deep oppo on a 2-0 fastball. So I imagine he’s feeling pretty good." lol Ryon Healy is in backfield games f***ing s*** up

I feel the same way about Burger Priest and those other 2nd level burger joints. Always seems hard to justify. One thing I really miss about Toronto is Pizzaiolo.

Really? It's what... $1 more than a Big Mac combo?

Chipotle is truly amazing.

me right now

Mods, can we put a trigger warning on this thread? Thanks.

I was being serious about the racism.

Why not 80?

Now Devon Travis with 70 power - that would be a beast. DL Monster.

Pillar doesn’t have the hit tool to actualize 70 raw though. It would be a wasted investment, maybe.

That's an incredibly racist thing to say, lol. They aren't even comparable. Stroman is intelligent, accomplished, confident, and an endlessly hard-working erudite about his craft. Lawrie is an immature and lazy man-boy who has already retreated from the realm of effort and struggle. To even compare them is just beyond the pale of reasonable discourse. Hilarious that your ideal version of Stroman is based on someone bi-racial -- a black persona watered down by whiteness (visibly). You are a racist bigot and you need to unpack your backpack of toxic white privilege.

This thread is racist

Refs sucked but come onnnn Ibaka you suck more

Nice

It really is incredible. Not only is the team legitimately great, but they are also extremely likeable.

Welllll I already sent the email

I believe claims will process at 3 am on the 18th (Sunday) so we would switch to FA that day

I don't think so but I don't remember

I just change the waiver mode from "Standard" to "Continuous" and pick the appropriate processing day. And then once our waiver blitz is over I switch it back. I've made the change now. All players are on waivers set to process in two days - so people can go ahead and claim. After Sunday one of us can switch the setting back to Standard and they'll all be FAs again. We should do this promptly at 9am.
