  1. I dunno. Even last year, the Dodgers had this tendency to hoard an absurd amount of depth anywhere they could. They acquired and signed guys like Olivera and Peraza (could list 10 names) just to bury them way down the depth chart.
  2. I think Stroman has a slightly cleaner and generally more athletic delivery. The injury risk that comes with being short is probably overrated and possibly non-existent. I mean, shorter guys might have to use more effort and dirtier mechanics in order to throw hard, which could cause injury, but that's a different primary cause.
  3. No, but judging from the Giles and Kimbrel trades, other teams are.
  4. People overreact to Urena not hitting the OBP checkpoint of .300 in 2015, I think. In 2014 in the Appy he was one of the 10 youngest position players and he had a 129 wRC+ In 2013 in the DOSL he was the 12th youngest position player and he had a 137 wRC+ In 2015 he tapped into some power. Obviously he's a work in progress but I don't think he's completely cemented himself yet as some hopeless hacker that can't hit right handed or can't hit breaking balls. Look at the massive leaps that a guy like Lewis Brinson took this past year in terms of plate discipline. He's a toolsy shortstop with upside, approaching the upper minors, within a thin system. I think you can argue for him over anybody not named Alford. On my prospect list I should have ranked him ahead of Pentecost and Harris.
  5. Terrible league name. Somehow even worse than the woefully dated BBDL.
  6. I don't think criminal guilt absolutely needs to be a prerequisite for professional penalties. Obviously sports leagues need a more fair and consistent process for handing out penalties in situations like domestic violence ones, but what's at stake is significantly different for the individual vs. a criminal case so the standards of proof and reasonable behaviour really should be different too. I just hate how the commissioners are given the arbitrary power. There should be an independent body and some sort of actual, expedited judicial process.
  7. Maybe they get serious about trading Miller now, so they aren't wasting elite innings in low/mid leverage situations all year long. Would be kind of funny if they did and then Chapman went to jail / missed the whole season. It's not like the domestic thing was his first brush with the law. There's other weird stuff on his public record.
  8. Seems like GD is the clubhouse cancer in this league
  9. https://www.reddit.com/r/OnTheFarm/comments/3yf3tn/results_team_top_prospect_rankings_toronto_blue/
  10. NJHDL sounds kind of catchy.
  11. Looks like 5th, so he'll probably take Cutch or Miggy
  12. But you also get two guys from the same bin, which is nice. You can go old and young. Or bat - ace. Where does Donaldson go? Tulo could be the steal of the draft.
  13. Take away here is that Dinger is a huge puss
  14. You'll have to rename it and boot GD at this point
  15. Why is one randomization more legitimate than any other? Unless someone thinks GD did not legitimately randomize it, then I see no argument for a do over. Him doing it on a whim might have been slightly egregious but to completely re-do it would be even more egregious. #mytwocents
  16. I don't understand why you would need to redo it just so everybody can get an email. Is there one person that thinks GD did something shady? Who cares about sending everyone an email? Re-randomizing accomplishes nothing.
  17. Serious question - how does poop water fix ankle?
  18. Biggest thing is just the annoyance factor. Losing NetSB because Russell Martin got frisky on a Sunday afternoon would make me flip tables
