    He never had value as a trade chip. Defense only CFs do not get anything via trade since they can easily be signed via FA for cheap, or a cheap version brought up from the minors at pretty much anytime.
  2. John_Havok
    Doubtful. Alford could probably defense-only himself to 1.5-2 WAR
  3. John_Havok
    Pannone had the suspension, hard to kick down the door with only 9 starts on the season.
  4. John_Havok
    He now as more HRs than Ks at AAA so far
  5. John_Havok
    Smoak's option isnt just decent, it's outstanding. That contract makes it palatable to DFA Morales and run with Tellez until you know what he's going to give you IMO.
  6. John_Havok
    Except there is a question.
  7. John_Havok
    Betts is a deserving candidate this season, he's putting up godly numbers along with Trout and Jose Ramirez. I'd probably vote for Ramirez right now if I had a say in it.
  8. John_Havok
    Why is that the real question?
  9. John_Havok
    Probably whatever cash the GM had in his pocket at the time
  10. John_Havok
    Doesn't count. Hanging breaking ball.
  11. John_Havok
    Wow!
  12. John_Havok
    General shittiness is basically recency bias. Just because the 1st 3 outings he's been "bad", is no more an indication of his overall skill than if his 1st 3 appearances were 9 up 9 down with 9 Ks.
  13. John_Havok
    Boxy is the closest, but still pretty far
  14. John_Havok
    Recency bias is a real thing

    What's funny is that every time you said that, I was already thinking "f***, that's gotta get edited"

    The raw audio will always live on my hard drive for later use, blackmail, exposing truth and general lols
  17. John_Havok
    Yup. 1 game samples are the norm for judging trade returns from their favorite Mexican woman-beating closer.
  18. John_Havok
    Kinda my point.
  19. John_Havok
    Can you name the most recent prospect to start his career in the DSL for the Jays and make it to the majors?

    Possible, but perhaps a contender might be looking at Realmuto over Martin first.
  22. John_Havok
    I don't think theyre worried about the clock on him when they still have Martin around. It's easy to justify Jansen starting in AAA again next season regardless of a call up this year
  23. John_Havok
    Urena, probably McGuire or Jansen (or both?), and likely Mayza, Cumpton, Pannone and Paulino. Hoping to see Alford, but probably DS JR instead
  24. John_Havok
    No doubt, but there's massive factors of difference in the game then and the game now. It's not unheard of to be an outlier like Ruth when the entirety if the league is basically a small sample size of players. The talent pool wasn't even a pool, it was a talent puddle. Yes Ruth was better relative to his peers, but when you have like 5% of the peers of today's baseball players, it's far more likely that there will be a statistical outlier. You're a science guy, so you should be familiar with the small sample fallacy. So, while you are correct that it's unfair to compare Trout's skills vs Ruths, it's also equally unfair to compare the eras in which they played. Trout putting up the numbers he is putting up now is absolutely more impressive than what Ruth did back then
  25. John_Havok
    Ruth was great in his era, but let's not compare he and Trout's baseball skills. The eras are so different it's impossible to compare them
