I actually think a reserve role in the big leagues could be a pretty good way of developing a catching prospect. It lets them work with the big boy pitching staff, get their feet wet, see somewhat regular playing time. It's not like other bench roles. Not at all. -

If Grilli gets results like 2012, 2013, 2015 in high leverage playoff race / playoff innings, then it's certainly a high-reward outcome. The leverage index would be off the charts! I think you see this type of evaluation in the current RP markets. Guys like Will Smith and Ken Giles get traded for elite prospect packages these days because GMs have some type of information about the value of elite relief pitching, in playoff contexts.

nvm

5 more weeks Min (8th) goes - Pharm, Los Oldos, Slayers, Mike Trout, Bye Week. Talk about running the gauntlet before his Bye Week! BTS (9th) goes - Pigs, Kats, Sluts, Burritoz, Harry Potter fan. Not exactly murderer's row. Could BTS sneak into the playoffs after being a write-off?

AA was really good before he went off the rails. It is what it was.
-
Apology accepted. You're having a bad season of posts but I'm confident you'll be better down the stretch.
-
no?

Spanky traded a 2nd rounder for Duffy in the middle of 2014. That's a long hold on a guy that was probably a cut candidate both springs.
-
I didn't ignore anything. It was simply vapid and boring, and warranted no response.
-
??? How little do you think Liriano would get if he was a free agent right now? The guy has like 9 WAR in the last three years and he's lost none of his stuff.
-
have to keep people guessing at least
-
Stroman has been insanely unlucky this year. Unlucky on all fronts (LOB%, BABIP, HR/FB). His xFIP is really good at this point.

100% serious your insecurity is showing

This post by Cyborg would be the most well-informed opinion on the board: http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/5548-Official-MiLB-Prospects-Thread-Short-season-ball-is-underway!/page50?p=992229#post992229 Contributions by most other people would just introduce noise.

I strongly disagree that Grant should be allowed to have opinions
-
Do they update team lists during the season? I've never noticed. Thought only mlb.com did. Doesn't really refute the point though. You said it was absurd compared to "expert opinions" and then Jim Callis, expert of experts, has him a **** hair way.
-
Jim Callis has him 10th. Two spots.
-
Yes probably. The system has probably moved up a couple of spots. + there seem to have been more positive developments than negative seasons so far this year.
-
Okay, but you said "Greene at 12 is miles away from what the stats and scouting reports suggest" which is just not correct. If you want to change that to "I watched him play on the radio the other day and I like his long limbs and handsome California face" then that's fine.
-
Well last year the book on him was +command and potential + changeup. I'm assuming he's lost the feel for the changeup this year because guys who nibble with an out pitch should at least get K's.
-
If so, let me know and I'll f***ing kill myself
-
When's the last time you checked Greene's stats? They bad.
-
Thole had a significant skill change / decline. When he came into the league he actually hit for AVG and had real OBP skills - he was basically a viable starting catcher and league average talent. Not sure what happened to him. Maybe once he started catching the knuckleball it f***ed him up completely.
