    How do we (publicly) know for sure that REESE has elite defense?

    Pentecost was considered a well rounded player who had 50(ish) tools across the board. The bottom line was "he's more athletic than a typical catcher." Even if he can never catch full time, I wonder if he can still carve out some kind of big league ceiling as a 60 hit 50 power player at some other position?

    No, this just tends to be the time of year that these changes happen for whatever reason. Teams wait until after the draft to make big shakeups for obvious reasons, and then they like to be considerate and give the employees plenty of time to find new gigs.

    Well he sucks. Not much else to it.
  5. Laika
    Well all four of those guys aren't in the starting 9, which is all dickbutt looked at

    Every team these days needs some portion of cost controlled talent (first 6 years of control). The amount needed depends on payroll! Toronto is in a decent spot right now with some D&D and therefore cost controlled dudes: Aaron, Marcus, Roberto, Devon, Kevin... a couple more would be nice. It helps that they are all actual DUDES though; stars and borderline stars.

    Holy f*** if an undefeated season ended by you getting cut in half Final Destination style... I don't even know.

    Decent chance he would accept a QO I think, a la Rasmus

    Vlad rocking a .197 ISO with just a 12.5% K rate. Youngest hitter in the league. 4th most BB in the league. 6th most dingers. Third in total bases. Yes, I cherry picked those stats. But still! As good as anyone could have hoped so far.

    In Harris' last 22 and 1/3 innings he only has 13 strikeouts, to 4 BB. Are the results starting to match the skill level or is it some ER luck? Strikeouts and walks carry more predictive weight in a small sample than hits or ER. This is a fact. His peripherals this year are mediocre at best, and downright bad in A+. And to be clear I am not offering an opinion on him here. I actually agree that you need to scout his s*** to form one and I haven't read enough on him this year or seen him at all.

    Our trade deadline has always been the last possible date. I'm not sure where the confusion comes from. Why would anything earlier even make sense or be preferable?
  12. Laika
    Whatever it says in the settings. I made it the latest possible date, which I think makes sense.

    Activity. Your 72 roster moves are by far the most in the league. As a result, your team is more bad than terrible. You actually have a good rotation in addition to Betts.
  14. Laika
    Maybe he will trade training for data crunching services Make me throw 90 and I'll regress anything you want Kyle
  15. Laika
    I kind of like this. Estrada could use a turn or two where he gets extra rest. Liriano could use as many changes of pace as possible. Sanchez and Stroman both could use some extra rest, I bet. Mostly I like this because with the nature of pitching, six man rotations are destined to not last anyway. This is probably a 6-12 game thing and nothing more. Then reevaluate.

    45/40 ed: there are conflicting reports on his speed. I'm seeing older reports that have him with plus speed. Possible he has gotten slower. also possible ppl are just scouting SB or SB% stats who knows
  18. Laika
    He's not out of shape, he just (supposedly) has the body and athleticism of someone in their mid 30s. Stocky, not quick.

    Pic four years old but seems like a basic circle http://beyond-bs.blogspot.ca/2012/01/2012-top-prospects-29-danny-barnes.html

    Dinger's naivety on full display. Stay in the OT subforum, bro.
  21. Laika
    Looks like the Fisher Cats won the MLB trade deadline
  22. Laika
    A ran a simple regression and there was nothing statistically significant
  23. Laika
    - pitches - innings - games - the time between those events - regularity - mechanics - game stress - genetics - pitch type - resume / track record / experience - age - weather? - randomness - height - weight - gender - sexual orientation - political leanings All of these things influence injury risk...
  24. Laika
    I think you can justify bringing Dickey back as long as he or Liriano are willing to accept a swingman role, if needed. The innings insurance Dickey provides is very nice.
  25. Laika
    Sanchez Stroman Estrada Happ Liriano Bolsy BIAGINI! Greene SRF (will start in AA) Yup, needs some AAA pickups. All of the SP in the upper minors are just org guys (Gabryjewski, Dawson, Cole, etc.)
