What are your thoughts on Puig? Your son plays with him. Well this is between you and me, but I'll tell you what. When the highest paid player on the Los Angeles Dodgers goes to the owner to discuss what the team needs to do to improve and says "you've got to get rid of Puig", that tells you all you need to know. Wow. So that's an Adrian Gonzalez quote? Adrian isn't the highest paid player. So a Kershaw quote? I didn't say his name. .... lmao @ Cano's season being the worst 3rd hitting every day position player season he has ever seen. Look at the stats! - Worst defensive 2nd baseman he has ever seen. - GM, coaches all got fired because of Cano.

Stars and scrubs Sands + Johnson + Swisher + Murphy + Urshella + Aviles + Bourn + Ramiez + Moss + Gomes = 0.4 fWAR in about 2500 plate appearances They were 10th in positional WAR and 8th in pitching WAR, so the role players collectively really let them down by not contributing a handful of wins.

Are you driving the GoGo fan bus now?

He'll almost certainly at least opt out after 2020. They controlled Stanton through 2017 anyway. He basically sold three free agent years at 3/$77 in exchange for an insurance policy worth $218M over seven years. If he remains awesome, he'll opt out at 30 and get a 10 year, $300MM contract. If injuries ruin his career he won't opt out and still be absurdly rich. If it looks like he'll opt out during the 2020 season and the Marlins suck, it could be one of the most interesting trade deadlines ever. Imagine landing Stanton for your team's stretch run?

I love Villar He's a speedster with great positional versatility and some pop. Been around for a few years but is still super young. Could actually turn into some WARz, some day. Let's also take a moment to acknowledge the existence of a professional baseball pitcher with the first name Cy

Lest we forget Navarro and Revere both K'd down one run with the tying run on 3rd to end the season. Should probably cut ties with the both of them for that reason alone
-
This just isn't true. He's like a big soft-spoken teddy bear.
-
They are all bad. Should trade for Chris Stewart. Pittsburgh might want to save a couple mill and roll with Sanchez as their backup. Could try to get a guy like Lobaton or Maldonado. If all else fails just sign Jeff Mathis for a mill. Who really cares.
-
Weird that a guy called up at 20 years old, skipping AA and AAA, would be... immature. Weird.

Dan Shulman joining Jays broadcast crew next year!
Laika replied to TilsonBritoFan's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
holy f*** hopefully he gets the main chair and Buck is bumped down to colour and Tabler gets muted -
Nobody gives a s*** about gold gloves though. The awards are all stupid anyway.
-
It's really just semantics. Defense in any sport is about preventing the other team from scoring. Pitching is about preventing the other team from scoring. Also relevant is that in most years, voters basically separate the MVP and Cy Young awards, reserving the former for a position player. So in most normal seasons the Cy is basically an all things considered MVP type of award for pitchers - which one of them was the "best pitcher" - so it should be considered as such.
-
Pitching is the central aspect of run prevention, i.e. team defense.
-
Navarro only had 192 PA last year. He'll be looking for more playing time elsewhere and he'll probably get it, so it's probably a moot point. Catching looks pretty thin on the FA market. He's also not particularly good so I don't care what he does. And they'd obviously bring someone else in rather than roster Thole. The SS Thole hit rock bottom with a 74 wRC+ in AAA last year.
-
That's a playoff calibre 2016 offense, lol.
-
Nice season you had there, lol.

Pitchers are volatile and lots of streaming happens in this league so TOR arms will get cut, but what is the worst position player drop in league history?
