I still believe.

Danny "Super Tek" Jansen

His post was self-deprecating, you f***ing dimwit.

Yes. LoMo too. Also, Zimm and Thames are now elite 1B.

It's just really hard to believe Pentecost can catch at this point. And if he can't catch, it's hard to believe he can be a half-decent major leaguer. I'll take a backup C over a AAAA fringe LF (or whatever Pentecost ends up being).

*** get excited about Jansen if backup catchers excite you

Feel free to get excited about Jansen. His development stalled the last two years but he has all of the ingredients of an MLB catcher. "19. Dan Jansen, C Video: Jansen signed for $100,000 in the 16th round in 2o13 from a Wisconsin high school and the cold weather athlete emerged quicker than expected, putting up nice numbers in his first full season. Jansen has a powerful frame at 6’2/215 and has average raw power that he’s learning to integrate into his game, but he isn’t all tools: he has more walks than strikeouts for his career. The swing is good and he was limited by a knee issue in 2014, but has a 55 arm and enough ability to stick behind the plate. His full-season debut comes in 2015 and he’s a favorite of many in the organization to take a big step forward this season." ^ that is from two years ago. People who are still down on him are underrating the complete package. Consider the injuries this guy had his last three seasons (ACL injury, broken hand 2015, hamate bone injury 2016) and how those torpedoed his numbers. Jansen > Pentecost

7th overall is definitely tanking for Boston! And they picked 7th overall TWICE between 2013 and 2015. lol @ Trey Ball.

Is this supposed to be a non-sequitur? Trade me your good players.

Our rule is actually worded: "Unowned prospects that did not hit AA or higher in the previous year cannot be added to MLB rosters on Yahoo, even if they hit AA, unless they are called up to the big leagues. If such players are called up in real life, then they can be added in Yahoo as soon as their MLB parent club adds them to their 25 man roster..." I don't think official transactions are time-stamped, but they are date-stamped on the team websites. So I guess as soon as the news is official the free-for-all can start. I don't think it matters with this guy. Seems like an emergency move and he'll probably be in the minors all of 2018. Not sure why anyone would want him in this league to be honest

North passed away in a terrible SQL accident. His will gave the team to GD. It was legally sound.

Variance Jonn

Stop wasting time on the blue jays message board. Go spend time your family. You'll regret every second you spend here (or playing fantasy baseball) at some point in the future. You're wasting your life.

No, it's not. At some point I'll unilaterally replace GD and TRM if they don't pay attention. Might be some point soon...

What's to discuss? Not much to say other than "hooray". We don't know anything about these tiny little children

Right, I knew this. Obviously I made a Correa pitch but he didn't think they were close (neither did I)

what did you offer?

Praise Shapiro. The org is going to land a 16 year old pitching "sensation" as well as "arguably the best overall hitter in the class".

Keegan Matheson‏ @KeeganMatheson 1h1 hour ago #BlueJays also "favourite to sign" 16-year-old 3B Miguel Hiraldo, who is "arguably the best overall hitter in the [international] class." Keegan Matheson‏ @KeeganMatheson 2h2 hours ago Pardinho, 16, is a sensation in Brazil. Fastball has touched 95, has strong curve and a SL/CH. Stands 5-foot-10, 155lbs. #BlueJays Keegan Matheson‏ @KeeganMatheson 2h2 hours ago #BlueJays are "expected to sign" Brazilian RHP Eric Pardinho, the No. 5 Int'l prospect, according to @JesseSanchezMLB.

I honestly don't know. I have an SP2 and then a bunch of worthless crumbs. All eggs are in the Pomz/McHugh baskets this season. Havok and Zach have really good teams. Should make playoffs I think. z3r0s too. It's all changing so fast!

I could see him sneaking into my 20th slot in the DDL. My third best SP is like, Ariel Miranda.

How did he even hurt his knee? Just old guy stuff? I'm assuming his struggles this year were mostly due to pitching with a bum knee. Hopefully he can be useful next year.

Blue Jays Regraded Report Card By NJH Rotation Estrada A+ : He's been as good as Max Scherzer. Could be a career year. Extend this man. Stroman A- : Only one truly bad start and he was hurt. Liriano B- : Good enough. Could be better. Happ C- : Wasn't great and then got hurt. Sanchez C- : See Happ. Lawrence D- : He might have been trash but at least he was humble about it and frankly it's not his fault he got promoted Latos F : The F is for f*** Mat Latos Bullpen Smith, Osuna, Biagini A : They've all been good. Osuna has a 2.04 FIP with no walks! Leone C+ : surprisingly effective but I don't think it lasts Loup C+ : missing bats but also missing the strikezone Barnes C- : too early to get a good grade Tepera D : no bonus points for getting lucky in my class Howell, Grilli F- : the F is for f*** Mat Latos Position Players Pillar A- : loses points for running the bases like a clown Donaldson A- : loses points for playing hurt like a f***ing idiot Martin B+ : I'll take a .330 wOBA from Russell for the next 3 years, please Carrera, Barney B- : whatever Smoak B- : funny that a .327 wOBA from a hulking first baseman with negative value at every other skill seems like a success Coghlan C+ : the plus is for the slide! Tulo C : was doing fine Goins C- : get off my team Bautista, Pearce, Morales D- : these guys have to be better Travis D- : luck dragon ate your homework Salty F- : The F is for f*** Mat Latos

When would this ever be worth squat? Just look at WAR!
