Report: Price interested in Cubs; Jays covet Davis
Laika replied to vic city's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The fun thought for the off-season is that the rumors of payroll not going up are a smokescreen and the team is actually planning on pumping a bunch of money into the roster -
Report: Price interested in Cubs; Jays covet Davis
Laika replied to vic city's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I could get behind Davis at the right price. His huge apparent risk might scare a lot of teams off and depress his market. He's a beast though. -
Offer it to me - maybe I'll prefer it to Miller! who knows
-
I think picks in the back 1/2 of the first round are generally worth around $15M. Could be wrong though.
-
Of course, but it mostly just changed how much $ it is sensible to offer.
-
Well, that sucks. She hasn't been around to tell you that scouts r dum and numbers never lie My mum wrote that on my 17th birthday cake Happy Birthday NJH!!! Scouts r dum.

Was she murdered by a nerd with the initials U.Z.R.?

Look again, dick fart

I meant as a child - not what happened to him recently.

predictions: 2+ WAR 110 wRC+ 0+ UZR Top 5 fantasy SS 2016 Top 8 dynasty SS after 2016 multiple 20 HR seasons before age 30
-
Now you're just playing semantics. UZR says he's average. DRS says he's adequate. Scouts are dumn. The most optimistic outlook is average defensive big league SS.
-
POLL What is worse for the world? - 9/11 Truthers - People who hate UZR
-
I trust UZR just fine. Certainly more than teh scouts. What the f*** happened to you? League average bats make well above average offensive shortstops. In terms of offensive projections, outside of Correa, Bogaerts, and Tulowitzki, Miller is in a tightly projected group of shortstops with projected wRC+ of a hair over 100. Kang, Baez, Seager, Peralta, Semien, Flores, Miller.
-
Because Brad Miller had a .930 OPS in the minors, with a .400 OBP and awesome peripherals, and UZR thinks he's an average defensive shortstop. People still see him as a sleeping giant who got jerked around stupidly by Seattle. Someone who could be a top 5 offensive SS in the game. Also, Nate Karns is older than Mat Latos.

/r/torontobluejays is good for about 1500 hits right now, if your article is sufficiently interesting (ie., related to Blue Jays trade idea). http://i.imgur.com/rOAwxTi.png If we wanted to actually grow and pump up the blog right now we would be wise to use reddit

No team would pick players like that in the MLB portion of the rule 5. If Toronto added guys like that to the 40 then they'd just end up having the waive them anyway, eventually, when they need to be DFAd off of the 40 to make room for useful players who can actually provide some depth. Toronto will fill the 40 with Colt Hynes and Bo Schultz type dudes - not non-factor fringe prospects who aren't even close to MLB ready.
-
reminder in case anyone forgot - you are allowed to carry as many prospects and MLB players as you want during the offseason. Not limited to 12 prospects.
-
A cautionary tale for teams that think prospect depth = actual positional depth
-
Tim Beckham is very bad though. Miller probably starts, full time.
-
Traded Nick Williams to BTS for Brad Miller
-
Yeah Tampa's SP depth made this an easy decision for them. From the M's perspective, I hate how this means they are basically putting all of their SS eggs in the Ketel Marte basket.
-
Brad Miller isn't as shiny as he used to be. He's not going to have those ~3 WAR projections for 2016. Karns demonstrated last year that he's a league average SP talent. I think it's pretty fair
-
Lackey or Kuma Makes sense to be aggressive on one of the good old guys. They won't command lengthy contracts but they are... well, good.
