Shucks, Wil Myers is actually pretty mediocre/bad.
-
My DDL and LOD teams are my most valuable possessions TBH
-
Oh. Well, at least you have your cat and your half dozen level 80 characters in WOW...? maybe?

Do you at least have a wife, house, and/or child(ren) so you can feel like a mature, fulfilled, and productive participant in nuclear society as you enter this disappointing stage of your life?

gross

I f***ing love Shapiro so much

Thanks for the happy birthdays, btw. I'm so old now that I refuse to share my age. I bet I'm in the oldest 50% of board posters now, which is scary. Maybe even higher.

proof?

no. people are stupid. -
I believe this is a myth.

Sorry, I just realized that I misspoke. IIRC - BB% in the low minors is irrelevant to essentially irrelevant in projecting hitting prospects. K% does carry significance.

Diekman is a bit of a headache in K/BB leagues. Johnson projects quite well and appears to have job security. -
BB and K rates basically don't matter in rookie ball

Concussions. Corey Conkie. Canadians have soft noodles. I blame goshdarn full contact Timbits hockey. -
Oh I think they'll contend for a wild card spot, but that's not saying too much with the two wild card system. The Rays rotation is vastly superior and they have arguably the best minor league SP depth in baseball. It almost makes me embarrassed to be a Jays fan, comparing.
-
It was said back in October that they would probably trade Smyly to keep team salary down. Carlos Vargas was a 2015 bonus baby (1.5M or something.) It's possible that the Rays are "on" him early similar to Adames.

Yeah he as kind of a stud. It's weird that his career ended after an .833 OPS and league average production (or better) at just 33. It blows that the worst year of his career was the Toronto season. Sad! -
Not great either. Felix is trash now, Iwakuma is a creaky old SP3, Smyly isn't built to last, Gallardo is complete garbage. Paxton good but not reliable.

Jesus Christ!

I could see the Blue Jays targeting a controllable guy like Mallex Smith. Start him and Pompey in a time-share in LF, with Pearce/acquisition in RF (if Pearce, sign a DH/1B type). You HAVE to assume that Toronto is in on any available OF. The need is massive. The team has a black hole out there. Smith's minor league numbers are incredibly attractive. Fantastic age vs. level, BB and K rates, slashline. Yesterday, Stephen Brunt told @Sportsnet960 that Blue Jays developments could happen by end of week - "I'm told things are cooking." [copied tweet]

Is any catcher a good bet to be a top 100 player? How often is Posey even comfortably top 100?
-
And then literally 10-15 interchangeable players.
-
Absolutely. Those were great signings that didn't work at all. Kind of like if Edwin absolutely stinks in Cleveland. I really wanted Swisher back then.
-
The one potential fault with Shatkins FO is that they might be TOO risk averse. Humans are risk-averse by nature and it's essentially a cognitive flaw in many contexts. Although Cleveland's operation in 2016, particularly the deadline period, shows that in the right situation short term risks will be made.
-
Just the section of the fanbase that can't help but love AA's fool-hardy GM style. Shapiro and Atkins' rational, objective, patient approach must be the biggest wet blanket ever lmao.
