    Nobody is paying decent prospects for Martin regardless if how much money you eat
  2. John_Havok
    Is this real life? People still look at batting average as a thing that matters?
  3. John_Havok
    Jays are gonna ditch Pillar, sign Harper and have Grichuk in CF. Book it
  4. John_Havok
    Vlad also thrown out twice trying to stretch 2 of the 3 hits into doubles. Clearly not ready
  5. John_Havok
    If all you see is Morales, Giles and Merryweather, you're not looking very hard
  6. John_Havok
    Will be some very good CSs Sox vs Dodgers would be great for ratings in the World Series if it happens.

    Crazy ending but it's all over. On to the LCSs

    Exactly. There are always examples of guys who get picked in the 70-80 range that will end up being outliers and actually become good players. The odds of that though are really low. The odds of Merryweather outperforming whomever the Jays hypothetically picked in that range next year is quite a bit higher.

    That's the thing with National broadcasts for any sport, but especially baseball. They have to be aware that the vast majority if their audience are people who think speedy slap hitters, wins for pitchers, and stuff like RBIs are important so they have to hire people that are capable of dumbing everything down to the lowest common denominator Side Story, was at family's house for Thanksgiving dinner last night and we started playing this game Anomia, basic gist of the game is that people flip over cards with symbols and a random category on them and when 2 people's symbols match, the first person to name something in the other persons category wins their card. So, I flip a card, it matches someone else, and my caRd said "a unit of weight" and their card said "German city" so they said 'kilogram' just before I said "Berlin"... and they took my card. I said hang on, a kilogram isnt a unit of weight and they all looked at me like I had 4 heads. It wasn't until they actually agreed to Google it that they realized I wasn't the idiot. Apparantly there's a lot of people out there that think mass and weight are the same thing.

    Cleveland has been revitalized a lot in recent years. It's not really that much of a dumpster anymore. Baltimore has that title hands down. Maybe Detroit
  12. John_Havok
    Doesn't really help your case
  13. John_Havok
    Probably the most anticipated list since the 10 Commandments. And probably about as useful
  14. John_Havok
    How many teams not in the playoffs have ex me members of the Jays or the playoff teams? Then tell me why it's relevant
  15. John_Havok
    At least he got his major league hit. Was a classy move by the Jays to bring him up for those games after he toiled in the minors for 3400 PA, 99% of which were with the Jays
  16. John_Havok
    You definitely missed the subtlety of the joke.
  17. John_Havok
    There is no way that Jazz Chisholm guy's nickname isn't Jizz. There's just no alternative that makes sense.

    Without a doubt there will be many FOs ringing the Rockies GM pretty regularly. It's really just a hope that the Jays will be able to convince the Rockies that what they offer will be more enticing, due to said GM's idiocy. Remember, in a trade it's only partially about how a team values their own asset(s), it's more so about how your potential trade partners values what you offer them in return
  19. John_Havok
    Hardest hit HR in the postseason since Statcast started tracking exit velo in 2015. 116.1 MPH
  20. John_Havok
    No GM could succeed there while being forbidden from exploring a major avenue of asset accumultaion, ie the international market. That, coupled with the lack of investment in any forward thinking prospect development and analytics (squarely on Angelos' shoulders), you're seeing the inevitable results, regardless of who was at the helm. Duquette will get work, and probably very soon. Maybe not as a GM right away, but some position like Cherington's with the Jays.
  21. John_Havok
    Gotta keep in mind that most people watching right now are dumb as f*** and will actually think the announcers are saying true things.
  22. John_Havok
    So hard to predict 1 game outcomes. So much random s*** can happen with next to no time to react or make up for mistakes. Go Cubbies
  23. John_Havok
    It's low hanging fruit at this point.
  24. John_Havok
    Providing comparisons doesn't mean advocating for 1 or the other. Please upgrade your reading comprehension skill. Btw, you compared them twice in your post after stating that people should stop comparing them. Idiot
  25. John_Havok
    No, just the stats from this season, not career, which were posted prior to the end of last night's game. McKinney 112 Teoscar 107 I think the major differences between the two are simple. Neither are good defenders though small sample size issues exist with McKinney numbers, I didn't feel like he was a butcher out there at all, but Teo is just lost. He has no skills defensively except speed which doesn't make up for his terrible reads and routes. McKinney walks more, but Teo has more power. McKinney probably has the higher floor, lower ceiling and lower risk of reaching some midpoint. Teo would probably have the higher ceiling, lower floor and higher risk.
