    Re-tool for 2018 with Donaldson. Plan on rebuilding or whatever after that.

    They are catching prospects, so.... never. That's like asking what the ETA for Jim's next threesome is.

    That RE matrix is based on the typical bases loaded, no out situation. The vast majority of these occur in very different situations, where the team will just play straight up double play depth defense and is willing to trade a run for outs. If you consider the specific defense the Jays went with, it might not have been a bad move. I dunno. Still might have been simply because your pitcher isn't allowed to walk someone. Making the walk a win condition removed an important part of the pitcher-batter game theory stuff that goes on...

    Biceps stuff can often be downstream/upstream symptoms of operable shoulder or elbow structural failures. Just saying.

    The message board has all of this. No need to venture over there. His stats are also outdated, lol.

    so f***ing what? he was definitely a "phenomenal 5 tool player" for at least a brief window of his career. You can shove BsR up your butt.
  12. Laika
    At his physical peak he was. At 26, 27 Vlad was an above average RF with a cannon who could run the bases, steal bases, hit for massive power and average. All the tools! The speed and defense just didn't last long

    pray for sean manaea

    At least the BB and K rates are fine. Could be largely luck.

    Between Duvall and Schebs, Winker might not ever get an opportunity.

    Travis actually has not made awful contact. His expected wOBA is .294, which obviously isn't good but it's well within early season variance for a talented player. Actual wOBA is .168 so the gap is huge. Pearce has a .205 xwOBA compared to .179 actual -- awful either way. Unlucky Blue Jays (xwOBA - wOBA; difference) Devon Travis 0.294 - 0.168 0.126 Kendrys Morales 0.374 - 0.289 0.085 Jose Bautista 0.294 - 0.236 0.058 Awful Blue Jays Jarrod Saltalamacchia 0.085 - 0.041 0.044 Steve Pearce 0.205 - 0.179 0.026 Fair Results Blue Jays Justin Smoak 0.353 - 0.353 0.000 Russell Martin 0.308 - 0.308 0.000 Troy Tulowitzki 0.284 - 0.297 -0.013 Darwin Barney 0.293 - 0.289 0.004 Chris Coghlan 0.242 - 0.239 0.003 Lucky Blue Jays Kevin Pillar 0.307 - 0.355 -0.048 Ryan Goins 0.322 - 0.382 -0.060 Ezequiel Carrera 0.246 - 0.314 -0.068 Josh Donaldson 0.328 - 0.434 -0.106

    The perils of youth. Nobody should be surprised if Contreras, Mazara, Polanco, or Story underperform this year. It also doesn't help that Jose Abreu kind of blows for a 1B.

    I'm not really sure how Fangraphs works but do you know what these terms mean: wOBA, wRC+, BsR, Off, Def, WAR???? http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2017&month=0&season1=2017&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=14128,14225 Does that mean Gallo is better?
  19. Laika
    Yeah it's not pretty. At some point he's going to start getting pounded, I think.
  20. Laika
    Steve Pearce is so lost at the plate that he's not even trying to hit the ball hard anymore. He's up there just trying to make contact. Pretty sad.
  21. Laika
    Bellinger is going to struggle pretty hard for maybe two seasons before possibly clicking. Think Joey Gallo
  22. Laika
    I think so too, but it's not the best move for my image/brand.
  23. Laika
    When will the elitist mods start to represent the will of the posters? Boxy for head mod 2017 o2 for prison
  24. Laika
    Exhibit #167 of why o2 should not be a mod. Awful. Gary should have gotten a week. Spanky should have maybe received 24 hours? I don't even think so but maybe. Awful. Brutal. Indefensible.

    Ezequiel Carrera is such a unique player. Most of the time when a guy like Zeke is on a roster and starting, it's because he "does the little things right". With Zeke it's the exact opposite--he does all the little things horribly. Just last game, think about all of his dumb mistakes: missed hit and run getting Pillar thrown out, throwing to the wrong base from the outfield, getting picked off in a crucial 1 run game situation... He's pretty special.
