    #1 Grichuk has a season that remnds everyone why he was drafted 1 spot ahead of Mike Trout. #2 Aaron Sanchez IQ is confirmed to be 150, he's just been trolling us this whole time. He also starts throwing a 4 seam fastball more than once a month. #3 Devon Travis becomes the first MLB test subject for their new cybernetic implants for injured players program. #4 Stroman realizes that height actually does measure heart.

    It should have its own thread. This is monumental info

    Another victory for the nerds! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/war-update-catcher-framing/ Notable Jays notes: Russell Martin is now a 54.6 career WAR catcher. Danny Jansen has been above average so far.

    What the actual f*** was that s***** ass joke? Cmon man You're bettser than that.

    Unions only have to fight for their members. MiLB players are not part of the players union. So, while its a wonderful narrative that the MLB players union has somehow failed the MILB players, it's pure fiction.

    f***. I was looking for the "Old Rule Changes" thread
  7. John_Havok
    September call ups are rarely anyone interesting anymore so this doesn't really change anything in that regard

    Napoleon wasn't short

    I'd share your enthusiasm if Jansen won RoY, but that would also mean that Vlad is probably dead
  10. John_Havok
    Very true. But that 10 WAR would be more than Pillar over that same frame. Pillar is a fine defensive player and barely competent enough with the bat to make him playable. A slight dip in his defense and he's a 4th OF at best

    Well, 1 sentence was right, but then followed by verbal diarrhea, but finished on a slight upswing. Progress is being made
  12. John_Havok
    You should. No team has 9 starting building block position players, 5 building block starters and a bunch of building block relievers.

    More routine ground balls and lazy flies is not the recipe for more excitement
  14. John_Havok
    Strikeouts are boring and besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. It's more democratic.

    Meh, Waiver draft is pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of things. It's just not a priority for me to care about at this point in my life.
  16. John_Havok
    Why are you and Todd the only posters that don't understand that you don't need to hit enter to start a new line in one long rambling incoherent sentence?

    Weight watchers new spokesman Vlad Guerrero Jr

    In no way, shape or form was Borucki the ace of anything.

    Better yet, a stairmaster, keto nutritional plan, and chain up the ice cream machine

    Reward success, not the absence of failure

    I think it's more the announcers that I hate. Yes, it's ok when a guy can move up on an out, but let's not pretend the hitter is going up there with that in mind, because he shouldn't be. Nobody willingly hits a fly ball out as his primary goal. If it ends up being a fly ball out that someone moves up on or scores from, that's a positive for the team, but it's not something that should be an encouraged strategy. For example, think a runner on second with 0 outs. You have a run expectancy of 1.068 based on RE24 calcs. Congratulating a guy making an out to move the runner to third cuts the run expectancy to .865 So you aren't really cheering a positive outcome, just an outcome that's less negative than it could have been if he made an out without the runner moving up, in which case the run expectancy would be .644.
  22. John_Havok
    Do we think the game will ever evolve past the whole congratulating players for making outs but a runner moved up a base crap?
  23. John_Havok
    Oops
  24. John_Havok
    What the f*** is this abomination of speech?

    Originally, three separate drafts were held each year. The June draft, which was by far the largest, involved new high school graduates, as well as college seniors who had just finished their seasons. It started in 1965, and continues to this day. A second draft was held in January for high school and college players who graduated in the winter. Finally, there was a draft in August for players who participated in amateur summer leagues. The August draft was eliminated after only two years, while the January draft lasted until 1986.
