  1. That narrative exists because he’s done it lol. The Jays are good at player development. They wouldn’t still employ Pete Walker if he didn’t make them better. It’s reasonable to expect the team to identify and acquire players who they believe can outperform their projections under their leadership.
  2. Hopefully Pete Walker doesn’t meet them or they will turn to pumpkins
  3. Please show me where I said Pete Walker was the sole reason Ray didn’t suck. I’ll wait.
  4. Is your argument that improvements in player performance are based on sheer luck and has nothing to do with the organization?
  5. Should be reasonably be expected I think.
  6. Ya we all know he’s not getting 9M AAV with offers from 8 clubs. The DeSclafani contract is a good indicator of where the market for Matz is at
  7. Nothing wrong with Matz @ 3/36
  8. Rankings are just someone else’s opinion, don’t take them as absolutes. If a player is within ~50 spots passed top 100 they’re probably pretty close in value Give me the player who is doing it in the majors already when everything else seems equal
  9. Ya but that’s still way too much. That’s an offer you make to Miami for Alcantara not two years of Castillo
  10. Nobody has ever trolled anybody on Twitter
  11. Free pick for employing one of the best relievers in baseball Kyle Boddy should just become the GM. I'm sure he would have more success running the whole org.
  12. I’d love to sign Verlander for two years and fill the final rotation spot with one of the mid tier options available in free agency or in trade. No long term commitments added to the rotation and massive upside. Should still be able to add an infielder and a couple BP pieces depending how cheap you go on the second SP.
  13. I think the board first started advocating for him the summer of his 8th grade year. He was getting groundballs at a 51% clip
  14. Dude you should cc Atkins on this because he’s the one who made the decision not me
  15. I believe he takes the QO if offered
  16. The caveat is you commit that up front, you don’t have the luxury of seeing how the market shakes out What’s the upside? The downside is that you tie your hands on other free agent deals to lock up a mediocre starter when there are ten other guys on the market just let him plus trade targets in CIN/OAK/MIA It never made sense to give Matz a QO
  17. Nice deal for LAA If he’s a stud they look like geniuses. If he’s hurt it’s just another let down year in LA and he’s gone
  18. Nobody is going to wish they had paid Steven Matz 20M this year Offering him a QO was never a good idea
  19. Awesome news. Shapiro and Atkins rarely disappoint. Give up two of your top five prospects for a guy with 1.5 years of control and then get him extended a month into the offseason. Great work.
  20. Correa to 3B Wander at SS??
  21. Blue check mark tweets out photoshopped picture and has inside sources Done deal
  22. They aren’t related but no way I’d give 33 year old Marte 100M. If the Diamondbacks are hanging up without Moreno why wouldn’t the Indians? Doesn’t really make any sense other than Marte is controlled for a year longer. Ramirez is the better player. The Jays wouldn’t have to give up Moreno for either one in my opinion.
  23. Ketel Marte is the ultimate fit for this team. He's going to make 8M this year and has two club options for 10/12M which is probably too expensive for the D Backs Slides right into 2B replacing Semien Can play CF Switch hitter Lots of contact Cheap I'd be fine giving up Groshans++ to land him 7 (!) WAR season in 2019 28 years old in the prime of his career
