To me --> MiLB #25 + waiver pick #80 To Dinger --> Papelbon, the human pile of garbage

Sickels is just as bad as Law, except he doesn't have the resume. None of the public top 10 or 100 lists have any value for their rankings alone. But the information within the lists of BP and BA at least come from extensive first hand viewings by multiple scouts + well networked conversations with professional scouts. I mean I'm sure Law and Sickels talk to lots of people too but it's just not the same. They can't even throw proper grades on most of the prospects they reference. Sickels is fine to use but I think he's more of a content aggregator than anything (he compiled lots of public information into deep top ~20 lists with honourable mentions and discussion with commenters). Keith Law kind of just provides one former front office guy's opinion on the profiles of various prospects.

I'll give you Pap-smear for #27 (+ throw in player). It'll be a good trade because we've done it before. He's free and clear of the pesky Drew Storen character now. Fully cocked for a 40 save season complete with tunnel chokings and insufferable facial expressions. edit: hot offers incoming so it might have to be pick #17

I sent a mass email to the entire league informing that the clocks are now running

Be prepared for BTS to overwrite one of your fancy formulas with "brryant" or something like that
-
Probably all that needs to be said about him
-
I think you realistically can if Puig has a good season
-
It's insane that Felix still won't be 30 until April but he already has 2262 career innings. On one hand, you need pristine mechanics and genetics to even do that. On the other hand, that's a lot of wear and tear. His top comps through 29 on Baseball Ref give some interesting (split) anecdotes. Didn't hold up after 29/30: Milt Pappas Dwight Gooden Larry Dierker Vida Blue Fernando Valenzuela Dave McNally Pitched a lot after 29/30: Don Sutton Greg Maddux Fergie Jenkins Steve Carlton

And Roosnay and Jason Hamels

Boxy will no longer be a bye week, unless he chooses to neglect 2016 and fill his roster with s***** kids and prospective penny stock players.
-
well that can be fixed thanks for the heads up
-
I think FeatherD will miss the playoffs this year for the first time. He barely made it last year and he hasn't been very attentive
-
yea just reverse standings

10. TF - 11. BTS - 12. SPG - 13. TH - 14. HVK - 15. TH - 16. FTD - 17. DD - Torontofan's 12 hour clock will start at 8am. Reminder that there is no overnight break - it's just a straight up 12 hour clock.

baseball prospectus: Blue Jays top-10 prospects
Laika replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
AA picked some carrots for the feast but it's not like he tore up the farm. Really, the state he left the 2016 pitching depth in was more concerning to me than the general state he left the farm in. Having absolutely no pitching depth beyond a few MLB guys forced a lot of MLB level moves and expenditures. Very costly when you add everything up - and the damage fixing it is still not done, probably. Sure it's a bottom third farm right now but it's not barren, and it's the type of deficiency that can be addressed over time with good drafting and signing, sound developing, shrewd trades, and maybe a comp pick or two. Shatkins can pick away at it; the farm isn't a pressing issue. -

"“With the (Bryce) Harpers, (Mike) Trouts, (Carlos) Correas and (Javy) Baezes of the world, there’s a core group of guys who can make baseball more appealing to the young kids, who can make baseball look fun. I feel that’s what baseball lacks sometimes, that fun element.’’" One of these things is not like the others... -
It's not a pressing issue so just have a look tonight

Spreadsheet is getting a bit of an update since it's 2016, courtesy of z3r0s. There is a new sheet that will let us know about any draft pick errors. Should be really useful. It's already noticed a number of MiLB pick inconsistencies, so if you have the answer to any of those please say something.
