    Ben Rowen doesn't even know how to throw http://assets1.sportsnet.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Rowen-Lead-1040x572.jpg

    :(:(:(

    Harold Ramirez and the Yankees new OF prospect Billy McKinney are cut from the same cloth, so it will be interesting to see how they develop in the same division. Two guys without CF chops and without big power or speed - but strong hit tools.

    Reese McGuire could probably slide into the backup role right now and be worth more than Thole. People think he is a zero with the bat but his contact skills look good on paper (29 walks and only 26 K's this year in 77 games!) and he's only 21.

    meh, whatever

    This is great. Bolsy is pretty good.

    This is incredible. They added payroll in order to get two legit prospects... and arguably improved the roster in the process.

    I don't think AA will last there long term. I think his personality will clash. But I think the Dodgers will be great.

    Upton really should only start against LHP. Defensive replacement and pinch hitter/runner against RHP.
  10. Laika
    Maybe he tweaked something.
  11. Laika
    Yeah and I trust Shatkins to operate efficiently no matter what the payroll is so increasing it would obviously be good. With a guy like AA, a higher payroll probably makes him a worse GM.

    It's the entertainment industry. It's reasonable to expect some reinvestment into the product.
  13. Laika
    I'm not really interested in increasing the payroll either but it would be cool to have more discretionary funds to pursue elite prospects, international free agents, take on salary at trade deadlines, improve organizational facilities and systems, hire front office talent, etc. Basically, it would be nice to have a bigger/looser budget.

    Yessssssssssssss Rich Hill is a f***ing stud

    It's kind of funny actually because MLB payrolls outgrew significant influence from in-person attendance long ago. The two things are just out of scale. The difference between a 25k average attendance and 40k attendance might end up being, what, $10M in added payroll? Some number like that. Large payroll changes are driven by TV contracts now. The Blue Jays already make out like bandits with the market and TV rights structure. The attendance thing previously was just an excuse not to have a top payroll. Now they have one less excuse, basically.

    well no but he might be better than Rea

    Complete deal: Cashner, Rea, Tayron Guerrero to #Marlins. Cosart, Castillo, Capps, Naylor to #Padres. Deal pending review of medicals. A fleecing. Good job Padres.
  18. Laika
    I think they released Sanchez.
  19. Laika
    Reporter reporting it's Cashner+Rea for Josh Naylor ---> but deal is bigger than that. Naylor isn't very sexy at this point. A ball 1B who didn't even put up numbers.
  20. Laika
    He was hired by the Padres as a full-time analyst, believe it or not. He still posts here but under a new account.
  21. Laika
    Disagree. I think they should take it slow with him. His peripherals have always been crummy, before this year. Does he need to go onto the 40 this offseason?
  22. Laika
    Bidding war?
  23. Laika
    Sean Manaea last 4 starts: 26.2 IP 26 K's 0 BB's 1.69 ERA promote or deal?
  24. Laika
    Is Bautista even a top 5 player on the Blue Jays anymore? I doubt it.
  25. Laika
    Shatkins is so refreshing. So many shrewd little moves.
