    Heh doubtful. The lowest they went last year in the punted picks was 75K underslot.

    "Looking at those 22 teams before me, they're going to regret this," Barriera said on the MLB Network broadcast shortly after being drafted. "I'm going to become the best pitcher in MLB." "I'm glad they picked me...," Barriera told Sportsnet's Shi Davidi. "When you look at their team, they play their young guys, they're not scared to bring up their young guys. That's something that I would love to be a part of." Seems he doesnt need a whole lot of motivation beyond his perceived snub in draft position
  3. John_Havok
    Yeah, it's good he's going up there. Toying with A and Advanced A hitter's likely isnt teaching him anything.

    TO be fair, he's not accepting a 440m contract extension from Washington. It really could be his way of saying he has no interest in signing there long term and just wants to be somehwere else. Like, from Washingtons POV, what is really the difference between 15/440 (29.6 AAV) and 14/440(31.4 AAV) or even 13/440 (33.8 AAV) ? that's like... 4million per season difference and you have to worry about the end term crater for LESS time. Seems to me he has told them he doesnt want to extend in Washington. Couple that with the current ownership uncertainty and the fact that it's probably a matter of time before the Lerner's sell the team, any potential buyer probably wouldnt want to be locked into a contract like that they didn't approve.

    Yeah, they probably had deals in place with both ROcker and Porter pre-draft which explains why Porter slid so far and Rocker went so high. The two pick slots total about 8.1 million, punt a few lower picks and they can probably split over 9 million between the 2.

    180 pounds. Need to get him on the Kirk diet for a week or two.
  7. John_Havok
    No way the Jays can pay him what he wants though right?
  8. John_Havok
    Canadian team drafting a guy named Beavers would just be too silly.

    I’m only year younger than Jones
  10. John_Havok
    Andruw jones and matt holidays kids going 1 and 2 accomplished that for me.
  11. John_Havok
    Connor Prielipp would be a nice get. Before his arm injury he was being talked about as a potential #1 pick this year. Big lefties with wipeout sliders are fun
  12. John_Havok
    Porter still available also, his college commit must be strong
  13. John_Havok
    Romano brought the good slider today
  14. John_Havok
    Yeah. They say it’s a freakish ability to get the bat to the ball, especially high fastballs (paraphrasing Fangraphs) with very little power, but a viable SS.
  15. John_Havok
    Best way to stay out of the DP for sure
  16. John_Havok
    100.5 mph throw from SS to first.
  17. John_Havok
    You and I have very different definitions of hot.
  18. John_Havok
    For a guy who was never even close to being ranked in the top 30 Jays prospects…or even Bostons when he was first signed…to be a 3WAR everyday guy heading to the all star game is pretty cool.
  19. John_Havok
    These numbers are very Espinal-esque from when he was in the minors. His glove will need to be good to get a shot at the majors. In his favour though he’s playing his age 21 season at Advanced A, whereas Espy was 23 at the Advanced A level before getting a late season promotion to AA, hitting a combined .297/.356/.444 - that was the year he was traded to the Jays.
  20. John_Havok
    I dont really blame him for wanting a higher AAV. Hell, his next arb contract will likely be 25 million and 30+ for the last one... so settling for less than 30m AAV is indeed settling for below market value AAV. But .... 440million dollars. Part of me hopes he breaks his leg tomorrow and he's out of baseball so he can live the rest of his life knowing he turned down 440 million dollars. But that's mean.... so I hope he gets whatever he wants. This is the exact kind of player that should be earning way more money early in his career rather than playing for peanuts for years 1-3 or 4.
  21. John_Havok
    Nice
  22. John_Havok
    Cmon Springer, give it a ride
  23. John_Havok
    excellent PA from Jansen. those were really close
  24. John_Havok
    damn, chappy missing these meatballs.
  25. John_Havok
    62nd percentile footspeed. Jansen is faster than most think, especially for a catcher.
