Lol self awareness is essentially zero here. Population of MB is like 1.3M and 1.1M live in the shittiest city in Canada. How dumb could you be? It’s just a massive Regina. It’s so bad their Finnish saviour can’t wait to leave
Also, hilarious the highest tax bracket in MB is 70k. Pick up a few extra shifts at Timmies and you’re one of the wealthiest people in Manitoba.
I’m fine with getting two of these guys. Gibson was my favourite target, but Wood, Roark, Bailey, Gausman, Smyly, Cahill, etc are all guys who will help raise the floor of this currently terrible rotation.
Me too, I don’t see it as an overpay at all. He’s been a durable starter who gets ground balls and has an elite slider so there is still some potential K upside. He was my number one realistic target for this team.
What’s wrong with Edwin at 1/10-15M? Who really cares at that point, as long as he’s healthy you’re gonna break even on the contract and he’s taking at bats from Rowdy who should be banished to AAA. Sign me up for bringing Edwin home.
Why is he more likely to be a reliever? Because you said so?
SWR will be a top 50 prospect if he has a good start to his season. This isn’t putting the cart before the horse, it’s having a brain and making educated guesses.
If he dominates the minors again next year people will be calling for him to be in Toronto in September. Won’t happen, but a year from now people will pencil him into the rotation to make 20 starts like they currently are with Pearson. I’m not predicting he’s Walker Buehler like you seem to think.
100%. Kay looks like he can be a back end guy and SWR has a great chance of shooting up top 100 lists this year. He’s the real prize, in a years time people will be pencilling him into the rotation the same way people are doing with Pearson now.
Are people seriously confused why using cameras and technology to steal signs is generally more frowned upon than relaying signs from second?
Yes Brownie, maybe in the MLB rule book it doesn't say it's illegal to plant a camera in CF, have it synced behind the dugout, and notify hitters whether or not a change up is coming by banging on garbage cans. But let common sense prevail and what do you think? Does that seem like something you would consider a punishable offense?
