I don't understand what BP is trying to do with these regional sites. All they did for BP Toronto is get the try-hard kids that did Blue Jays Plus to come over and do it. It thins the BP brand. None of them really have much to offer - Blue Jays Plus never did anything interesting. I don't think the people are good with statistics, or even particularly good at writing (I could be wrong though because I never really went there. Maybe they improved). AND the BP Toronto website looks pretty bad. Blue Jays Plus looked better, FWIW.

Essentially the reason I don't ignore you, friend.

common sense

I like how Bret Sayre is so good that he can just look at some pitch grades and decide that Conner Greene will have "stronger ratios than strikeouts". lolamn dkalsnfr

Click his name then click view profile and add to ignore list. Most people block King. He's harmless but mentally retarded and just annoying.

2. Conner Greene, RHP DOB: 4/4/1995 Height/Weight: 6’3” 165 lbs Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Acquired: Drafted in the 7th round of the 2013 draft, Santa Monica HS (Santa Monica, CA); signed for for $100,000 Previous Ranking(s): NR 2015 Stats: 3.54 ERA, 132.1 IP, 136 H, 39 BB, and 115 K for Single-A Lansing, High-A Dunedin, and Double-A New Hampshire Future Tools: 65 fastball, 55 changeup, 50 curveball, 50 command Role: 55—Mid-rotation starter Anthony Alford isn’t the only guy in the upper echelon of Toronto’s system with exceptional non-baseball talent. Meet Conner Greene: right handed starter/model/actor—a guy who’s literally capable of selling jeans. We’ll spare you the full-on Parks-ian description of Greene’s physique and facial features but let’s just say he has “the good face.” The ultra-projectable Greene possesses comically long limbs but is nonetheless able to coordinate his actions effectively. At 6-foot-3, with a high-three-quarters slot, Greene works downhill and creates excellent plane. He sits 92-94 with sinking action and can dial it up as high as 97-98 when he needs the extra velo in a pinch. His straight change flashes plus thanks to replicated arm speed. The curveball is below average at the moment and is more of a tumbler than a pitch with a deep, abrupt breaking point. He’d likely benefit from letting loose and throwing it harder, which would yield less of a pronounced arc but more in terms of tight, sharp bite. He’s around the zone now, but expect the finer points of his command profile to solidify as he matures physically, and adds weight, strength, and increased coordination. Greene got a five-start taste of Double-A toward the tail end of 2015 and should open the 2016 season back there. With some rotation depth to work with, the Jays will take their time with Greene, who will have just turned 21 on Opening Day. If all goes according to plan in New Hampshire, Greene’s contribution window in Toronto, like Alford’s, could come as early as the 2017 season. Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: Greene saw his stock rise up in dynasty leagues quite a bit thanks to a very strong full-season debut, and he’s certainly worked his way up to being a top-150 fantasy prospect—while garnering some consideration for the very back of the fantasy 101. There’s SP3 potential here, with stronger ratios than strikeouts, but enough of the latter to get by. Major league ETA: 2017

Yeah for a guy throwing 96(ish), that thing needs to be in the 80s. 86-88 would be about right. He probably has long fingers so you think he could find some kind of changeup / palm / split grip that would work for him.

Changeup is just so bad still.

I think swinging on fastballs. I think you need to take these short outings from Sanchez with a grain of salt though. He's basically relieving right now. Once he starts going ~5 innings or more then you'll see if he's made any SP gains.

Sanchez gets a called strike 3 on a curveball; Wilner - "just give him a rotation spot now!" Sanchez who can't miss bats proceeds to give up three line drive hits to garbage baseball players. Saved by baserunning error.

Yeah. I don't own an iPad but I'm assuming it is the simplest and cheapest and most reliable way to do this. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-connect-an-iphone-ipad-or-ipod-touch-to-your-tv/

Can you buy an iPad --> HDMI adapter? That's probably best. Chromecast is cool but it can be glitchy, especially if you don't have great wifi

Voted off the island for giving up the most runs today. Really unfortunate

Ben..... why

I hope Max Scherzer blows out his UCL and then never wakes up from the general anesthetic

I did push for Snell IIRC but you wouldn't trade him. Everybody aside from Dickerson and Scherzer are probably afterthoughts anyway. And sometimes when you lose a trade you get store credit that you can put towards a free A.Rod!

Yeah Dee is also a trash player, although the thrust of my post was really just to burn TCA.

Yeah me too... well for Gomez. I think I might have offered Scherzer for Gomez and had it rejected. Not that Corey Dickerson looks any better right now. I also had Scherzer for Brantley rejected FWIW. It was oddly difficult to trade Max Scherzer.

It's hard to think of a less desirable top ~50 o-rank player than Adam Jones. Maybe Carlos Gomez?

You guys have a weird definition of "breakout player" if Estrada was in the mix last year. He was a veteran with successful years in his history. He was better in 2012 than he was in 2015, arguably. Anyway, the #1 choice should be Pompey.

tehehe

Wilson Ramos for Matt Capps is one of my all time favourite IRL trades.

Ricky Romero is starting against Cole Hamels today

Did nobody else enter? She is pretty trashy.
