Yes!

Isn't that an even stronger argument to retire 4 and 9, if you're making anything off limits? Scott Stevens lmao

Reggie Jackson holds court with the core Jays hitters in the other split squad game

Vlad starting at 3B Bichette might sub in at some point on TV must watch Batting 2nd and playing SS for Jr. Canada is Adam Hall, the top Canadian draft prospect. He's a Bermuda-Canada dual citizen. Seems like he could go in the second round this summer - possibly late first.

It makes no sense that people care about 66 being worn, but 4 and 9 are freely worn without criticism. I also think 99 shouldn't be retired league wide.

Okay, so nothing. I think you traded a prospect you were going to cut to me for him a few months ago. KEBRYAN HAYES!!!

What do you think "market rate" is for him?

People are very likely overreacting to Giolitos struggles. His peripherals are great for his minor league career. This isn't a Mark Appel situation. My primary concern with the lower velocity right now would be that he's hurt and doesn't know it yet...

Look at these quotes about Giolito: "I think he will be a bullpen guy down the line, kind of like a Jon Rauch or Luke Hochevar," said a National League executive. "He got hyped up a lot and Washington found out later. Usually, the drafting team is the last to know." "I've heard a lot of mixed stuff over the years," said an American League scout. "Is it a repeatable delivery and arm action? There's some question there. I think his stuff has been overplayed as front-line, and I'm not quite sure that's consistently the case." my oh my http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/18980472/is-white-sox-pitching-prospect-lucas-giolito-worth-hype "SHORTLY BEFORE THE White Sox assigned Giolito to their Triple-A camp this week, he warmed up with several other pitchers in left field while Don Cooper looked on from a golf cart. Cooper, Chicago's pitching coach since 2002, is a blunt, plain-spoken New Yorker with a world of knowledge and an affinity for tough love. When he sees Giolito's progression, a piece of him flashes back to Jon Garland, another 6-6 righty who logged a 6.46 ERA in his debut with the White Sox at age 20. Garland, another high draft pick, never developed into a superstar, but he did win 136 games and make an All-Star team."

Per Canada's policies on visas and immigration, you basically can't even enter the country if you have ONE foreign DUI. Extremely harsh.

I hope you guys wear little tight jean shorts

None of these players are sleepers. I'd give you guys some actual examples but I can't afford to -- it's how I stay in business.

Boxy needs a new team name. Bottoms Up Started as a Bottom Super Nintendi

Justin Smoak baby

Can Marcus Stroman save short, black, fashion-forward baseball?

Your offense looks solid long term but there are a lot of high variance players for 2017. Zunino, Reed, Puig, Bregman, Nintendo, Pearce could all realistically give you either nothing or much less than you're hoping for. I don't think you'll have a "playoff offense" this year but I do think it's possible which is really something to even say.

I think the trade is fair and I kind of agree with you. I just know Dinger actually does like him some Ryon Healy.

Makes me so happy Seeing a team as awful as Boxy's was turn it around in a couple of years kind of demonstrates that the entire premise of the DDL works

I dunno, self flagellation? Draft tanking?

Boxy calls up Ben Nintendo. He's going for it this year.

hurr durr it's not a wRC+ league bro he's maybe a top 12 3B. Moustakes with a bit more OBP

What did you give up for Pomeranz? He did make 30 great starts (cumulatively) last year and he projects well. Obviously there are red flags all over his body but pitchers are pitchers.

Can Marcus Stroman save black baseball?

Dings why give up so much for Seags? Healy seems like a palatable 20 team option already. Seager is decent but it's not like he is a monster. Pomz could be very valuable if he stays alive and Reed will make you regret this.

Prospects will break your heart, Yankee fans.
