    An effectively wild #2/3, like a right handed Francisco Liriano, kind of.
  3. Laika
    yeah

    Well the latent career TJS risk is like ~30% in the population. It's basically duck duck goose, and other things like workload and mechanics move the needle a little bit. For reference, there's one study that looked at a form of bad mechanics (early trunk rotation - just think of it as the arm being late) and found a significant impact but the % of TJS was 33% in the bad cohort and 23% in the clean cohort. Point is that everybody who hucks baseballs is at risk. The biggest risk factor is simply being a pitcher.

    Prudent only if you can swap him for another elite player

    Bumgarner isn't even 27 and his velocity dip isn't as severe as Felix's. Bum is down 1.6 on average and 2.5 off of his top end from 2015. But if you look at his trends, his velocity isn't much different than his early season velo in years past. I think he'll simply heat up. Felix on the other hand is demonstrating a stark drop. 2.2 off the average and three full clicks off of his top end from last year. The trend is gross too because it's sudden and unprecedented. He's sat 91/92 and been able to touch ~95 for basically the last four years consistently, now he's barely humping it up to 91, all of a sudden. So the degree of concern for me is much, much higher with Felix. But like I said, he's just so damn good and the pitchability is so high that I think he'll be relatively fine. SP2 fine. Unless his elbow pops or something, which is entirely possible.
  8. Laika
    Not really. It's not like there's a huge gap between Bumgarner and Felix. I wouldn't be surprised to see Felix pitch at 89mph and be an SP2 for the next five years. Pollock is possibly elite and Gordon is just a guy.
  9. Laika
    Well that's.... weird. Seems like the worst possible time to buy Felix. Velo down like 2 full ticks - so much that a lot of has fastballs are getting classified as changeups now (the gap between them was tiny to begin with).

    He's not really predicting it if he says it would be surprising

    I'll never understand the attachment people have to every FA that leaves their team. Giving Mark Lowe a Free Agent contract would have been f***ing retarded. Absolutely mental. Anybody saying that the Blue Jays should have re-signed Mark Lowe has their entire opinion disregarded categorically.
  12. Laika
    wat he might get half that if he has a really strong year To answer the OP - sure, he could be a good fit. So much will depend on whether or not they extend EE and JB. Toronto could have a lot of cash to work with, or not much at all.

    KP the best

    You can rest assured that Shatkins knows what's up.

    I think at this point you have to wonder if the pressure is getting to Pillar. I feel bad for the guy. Ignoring the lineup implications, they should move Pillar down simply for Pillar's sake.

    Trea Turner hitting .500 now down in AAA, with more walks than strikeouts. Guy looks like a stud. 11 - Pentecost 13 - Turner sigh
  18. Laika
    Mark Trumbo has more HR than the Blue Jays have wins think about that
  19. Laika
    That's what I figured. Since I'm the best at this stuff, everybody give me $500 and I'll find us some good buy-low stoxxx
  20. Laika
    If we lose this game, we'll be 5-7. Has a team EVER started 5-7 and then gone on to actually make the playoffs?
  21. Laika
    Dynasty league fantasy baseball is basically the stock market, right?
  22. Laika
    Molina is pretty bad, but he might be better than nothing. He shouldn't really tank my ratios. I don't think anybody else was going to trade an active starting catcher for NA Swihart
  23. Laika
    Have you made your rebuilder's buy low offer on Pollock yet?
  24. Laika
