http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/giants-gm-bobby-evans-on-the-value-of-flexibility/ good article on the value of having roster flexibility talks about Giants decisions on Aoki and Petit relevant for Blue Jays past decisions on Smoak and Revere, also Chavez to an extent.

Shelby Miller is Desert-Bound (Because Dave Stewart Lost His Mind)
Laika replied to Moesby's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Shelby Miller: A) the most overrated pitcher in baseball the most overrated player in baseball pick! (no other options exist) -
yes we will see
-
ugh
-
Stroman isn't a f***ing franchise player. See: Josh Donaldson
-
wow, Bob Nightengale says Zobrist has 4/$80 on the table. Fangraphs crowd thought 3/$42
-
I think the shoulder injury thing is more substantial than North American fans realize. Word out of Japan is that at one point people weren't even sure if Iwakuma's career was over.
-
Nope. "Most alarming was the finding that a pitcher who regularly pitched with his arm fatigued was 36 times as likely to be in the surgery group (odds ratio = 36.18)" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435945/

True, BTS loves massive 4.6BB/9 walk rates
-
Seriously, how the hell is Gagne not at the top of Betances' "similarity scores" on BR?
-
I haven't had any Betances discussions! Ask BTS. I was thinking about offering Gordon but wasn't sure. I figured I'd ask the experts. Unfortunately, none of them have responded...
-
Reliever abuse typically comes from pitching on back to back days, getting hot multiple times in a game, etc. Stuff like that that impedes the body's recovery process after the stress of pitching. So it's not wholly relevant that he's pitched a lot of innings before as a starter, a role in which usage is highly regulated and recovery is scheduled.
-
Yeah, strictly from pitching 54 more innings with a lower K rate. I think Betances' usage has to raise significant concerns. He's used and abused like essentially no other RP in baseball.
-
Yes, but it is nigh impossible to find breakout relievers on the cheap
-
Yes, but that was mostly because of my misperceptions of Eaton. I had him pegged as a guy with zero HR power and marginal SB ability, based on 2014. I didn't expect him to go 14/18 this year. So, talent evaluation cookie for you. I just wrongly thought Eaton sucked.
-
Dynasty. Really? wow.
-
I no longer trust their lists and opinions. Still wildly useful for raw scouting data though. The eyewitness reports are great.
-
Public opinion - is Alex Gordon a significantly better asset than Betances, marginally better, or about the same?
-
Yeah but Betances isn't really a reliever, he's a weapon
-
Back in high school while drunk I let my girlfriend punch me as hard as she could in the face. Pretty stupid, but I didn't even feel it. No marks. Really funny. Couple of weeks later, two friends do the same thing. But this chick was more butch... thick black arm hair and stuff. She knocked him out cold and to add injury to injury he clocked his head on a rock when he fell down. Meathead!

They have become mens rights activists. Any domestic issue, no matter the facts, is a soapbox opportunity for these boys.
-
Yeah you probably lost your credibility at that point when you skidded out the backdoor and hopped the chainlink in your wife beater
-
Ummm can we delete this thread and ban BTS and Boxy? Thanks
-
that's a good post, f***

Couple MRA's getting all NRA up in here. #BJMBpoli
