  1. Speaking of Mazara and Brinson, were the 2013 Hickory Crawdads the best A ball team ever, in a prospect sense? Joey Gallo Lewis Brinson Nomar Mazara Nick Williams Jorge Alfaro Ronald Guzman Ryan Rua CJ Edwards (Cubs now) Keone Kela Andrew Faulkner Alex Claudio I mean that's more talent than most organization top 10 lists. All on one A ball squad.
  2. Reminds me of the Bonifacio guy Holy s*** I just looked up Boni's stats and he had a 79 wRC+ in 2012. AA was attracted to the track star coming off of a 79 wRC+ and then the team anointed him a starter. Mind boggling.
  3. Anybody but Sanchez would be defensible
  4. Well it's not like you paid very much. It's a weird trade all around.
  5. The interesting thing to me is to think about which numbers and puppet-masters are manipulating YOU, without you even realizing it? Someone wants you to post these messages. You're naive if you think this is on account of your own free will
  6. On March 16th, it will be the 1 year anniversary since I have been in love with Mazara https://vine.co/v/OV15q5v9gDu
  7. Today's scouting notes: - omfg Jesse Winker's swing is absolutely gorgeous - Mike Clevinger's hair is a legitimate miracle
  8. The powerless Trea Turner, who kind of looks like a cat and has the body type of a bottom who would like butt stuff, homered in his first spring game.
  9. jesus christ so that's a thing I guess
  10. Well Travis, Martin, Colabello, and Tulo all project for wOBAs in the .326-.334 range. If Pillar can improve his true talent into that range then maybe it's defensible.
  11. Gibbons is at least pretty quick to make changes if something isn't working. Even if he gifts Pillar the leadoff spot it will probably only last for a couple of weeks, BABIP dragon willing.
  12. #fireGibby At least platoon them there then. Hopefully Travis can come back soon and supplant Pillar in the undeserved most plate appearances position.
  13. Is Gibbons dead set on those four guys hitting #2-5? It just makes such an awkward lineup, with Martin hitting way down in the 7th slot and a largely inferior guy leading off. It's more annoying than anything.
  14. This seems like a job for the BJMB crew
  15. I think I found the worst post ever on the internet. https://www.reddit.com/r/Torontobluejays/comments/48smzg/ryan_goins_leadoff_candidate/

    As long as you and I shared the joke, that's enough for me.

    Prestige... WORLDWIDE
  18. The suxxxx is relative to expectations, obviously.
  19. You state facts, but even with the lovely wOBAs he was a guy that couldn't find it in himself to yank 20 over the fence, and he's probably done stealing double digit bases. There's some inherent risk in the basic statistical profile in a fantasy sense. No idea what type of player he will be production wise. All we really know is that he has a special hitting ability and obviously some raw juice - which is all that can be said about a lot of top hitting prospects, like his teammate C.Seags.
  20. I know Brett Anderson is fringe 20 team talent but finding out that he has a bulging disk right after trading Iglesias+Hendricks+Manaea would have been a bit of a dick punch.
  21. *Pweeg There are a lot of things to dislike about him: injury risk, personality, mechanics, home park, race. The level of risk with Yazl is probably not much different than the risk of any top hitting prospect.
  22. Yazl Pweeg for 6'4", 240 lb. AJ "arm bar" Reed and the Zimmer brother that still has value.
