    It's a possibility I suppose. I wonder if the Cleveland connections rears it's head again and Sandy Alomar Jr shows up. He was one of the final 4 in consideration when Farrel was hired, and was also on the Cubs and Red Sox radar in 2011.

    I'm taking a gamble and starting him in fantasy tonight

    Pretty much this. I'd much rather see LGjr at 2B than SS defensively, and he's probably an average bat. Could be a decent utility guy in the 1.5 - 2.5 WAR range over a full season assuming he plays more 2b than other positions. IF (and this is a big if given his minor league track record) he learns to take a walk.... then there's more there.

    Can't wait to hear Boxy try to pronounce this in a Spanish accent on the next podcast

    Usually in a PTBNL situation, the two orgs will agree to a certain number of players in varying tiers based on whatever criteria they've agreed upon, which in this case is apparantly health. Then when the time comes, the Jays will get to pick from the 2 or 3 names that they already agreed to from in that tier.

    10:23pm: The Jays will get a player to be named later “with some value” while covering some of Donaldson’s remaining salary, per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca

    HeRe is Fangraphs pre-season writeup on Demi Demi Orimoloye, OF – While he remains an impressive physical specimen, Orimoloye’s feel for hitting has made zero progress in the last year. He doesn’t use his lower half well, nor does he generate much hand separation. Moreover, his offspeed recognition remains poor. He’s an above-average runner at a hulking 6-foot-2 and has plus raw power, and some scouts are still hopeful the bat will come. Tangible improvements will be a necessary in 2018.

    Demi Orimoloye. Better than I thought the return would be

    Brewers also signed Emilio Bonifacio out of indy ball today.

    KJ Harrison maybe. Edit, nope, he just went to Washington in the Gio deal.
  11. John_Havok
    I hate the waiting game....
  12. John_Havok
    I dunno man, Makesiondon Kelkboom as some serious name cred
  13. John_Havok
    Good for Donaldson not be saddled with a QO either.
  14. John_Havok
    Nolan Jones or GTFO
  15. John_Havok
    We have the asset the want, so....how is it they have us by the nads? Worst case scenario, he doesn't get traded, gets offered a QO and declines, and we get a comp pick somewhere around 70 next season. If the trade off doesn't exceed the value the FO places on that comp pick, then you don't make the trade. So again, how do they have us by the nads?

    How is it ballsy to predict prospect failure when the vast majority of them fail? That's actually the complete opposite of ballsy.

    Nutrition is tough thing to research fr a person. No matter what you look for, you can find places that tell you it's great and you should be eating it, and other places that tell you it's bad and you should never eat it. Same thing with veganism, vegetarian, meat/animal products heavy, organic....GMO/non GMO.... you can find any number of places online that tell you how great they are and how bad they are. Plus, how does a person use the info that all these studies give us? I can't sit through 60 pages of findings and read science-ese to come to my own conclusions.

    Are you sure? Everything I've read tells me saliva is generally acidic, and our entire digestive tract sits between 5 and 7 ph, which is acidic. Not massively acidic like a true carnivore, but on the acidic side of the spectrum.

    I've started keto, I'm on day 5 of a 14 day thing and I'm doing great so far. I'm not sure if I'll do it 100% of the time, but switching to the 14 day program whenever I want to is certainly doable. I had already cut down s***** processed carbs, (ie grains, white rice, breads) and gone to more nuts and greens. I don't think we need to eat meat at every one of the typical 3 meals per day.

    Well, i guess that's checkmate then because if you don't think line drives fall for hits more often than soft hit balls, I don't think there's much more to discuss. You're simply wrong. The discussion of whether all those line drives are sustainable is a completely different conversation. But it's already proven that line drives fall for hits more often than any other type of ball in play. If you simply don't believe that, because reasons, then you're just wrong. Keep enjoying the flat earth.
  21. John_Havok
    Lol
  22. John_Havok
    I resent the implication that I am saying anything with a straight face. I'm actually laughing my ass off at your cluelessness, even though you're so thoroughly convinced that you're providing some sort of revelation. Flat earth society?

    Learn the difference between infer and imply please. Then re-read everything about those 75PA, the monstrous exit velo, the correlation to a higher babip that comes with said exit velo, and brush up on reading comprehension 101. In no way did I IMPLY that July is his true talent level. I merely stated that when you murder baseballs, they fall for hits more often. A high babip is not "lucky" when you hit the ball really hard in a small sample size. You INFERRED that I was stating it was sustainable. That's your problem. Perhaps if your head wasn't so far up Devon Travis' ass you'd be able to get a breath of fresh air.

    Nope. He's legit delusional, condescending and clueless. It's a deliciously entertaining combination.
  25. John_Havok
    When did I suggest it would?
