    Weathers smells of an underslot deal to me.

    I guess in the traditional sense of aguy who doesn't have a plus plus fastball with potential to develop plus secondaries.... this guy is your boring 93-95 fastball with already plus secondaries who doesnt miss the zone. He's only walked like 12 batters in the last 2 seasons without giving up hits either

    So glad we don't have to listen to Selig stumble and bumble his way through speaking anymore.
  6. John_Havok
    I doubt we even get to make that choice
  7. John_Havok
    Why is there any reason to listen to anything Reynolds says about baseball anymore? Dude is out of touch
  8. John_Havok
    nope, still needing to refresh

    See, I always think this is the way to go, but then with the MLB draft you just never know what can happen with teams and who they take. Like, because say the team with the #1 pick will make an agreement with a guy who might only be top 8ish, and sign him to a below slot deal so they can go overslot with their next couple of picks. College commitments make the draft so much more about wheeling and dealing these days than taking the BPA. BPA is a great idea, but we see teams go completely away from it every year.

    That's a good, quick read and touches on recency bias. It does seem to weigh heavily on teams leading up to the draft.

    I just hope some of the board issues are fixed before the draft starts. It's gonna get truly irritating having to refresh it every time - though I understand juiced's priorities are not this board.

    I know there's a rule on what a bona fide slide is, but is there actually a rule on when you can or cannot start it? Generally speaking most guys slide after they are out just to avoid getting a throw in the teeth, or they just peel off the baseline like Kendrys does after being thrown out by 45 feet.

    Seems okay for me on a laptop getting new stuff but on my Samsung tablet i still have to refresh every page.

    Cbs sports final mock has the Jays taking a college arm at 12. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/2018-mlb-mock-draft-auburn-righty-still-projected-to-go-no-1-to-tigers-in-updated-first-round/amp/ 12. Toronto Blue Jays: RHP Logan Gilbert, Stetson The Blue Jays have been in on college pitching all spring and, in our mock scenario, they'd have their pick of anyone except Mize and Singer here. Gilbert was a potential top-10 pick coming into the year -- he was a possible top-five pick at one point -- though an inconsistent spring has him sliding down draft boards. He offers as much pure upside as any college pitcher in the draft class aside from Mize and Singer. They have Swaggerty falling all the way to 27 to the Nats

    Vlad with an injury after beating out an infield single yesterday. He stepped on the base awkwardly. They say it's not serious. Which probably means his career is over.
  16. John_Havok
    I've never understood why a player is still allowed to try and affect the play once they are out. Bitch slide aside, he's out by 15 feet there easy, why is he allowed to try and interfere with a fielder after he's out? His slide hadn't even started before he was out. A simple rule tweak would easily get rid of this garbage. If your slide hasn't started by the time you've been called out... you can't do it.

    Jesus.... 5 walks, 3 HBP, 5 wild pitches and a throwing error in a half inning. The official scorer must have just started laughing at some point.

    This. Frank's on its own is missing a huge part of a flavour profile, we do the same thing along with a bit of tomato sauce - dilute the Frank's with tomato sauce and butter depending on how hot you want it. The butter really takes it up a notch
  19. John_Havok
    Exactly what I was thinking. Thought in was going a bit nuts
  20. John_Havok
    He's throwing strikes. That's more than you can say for 60% of the Jays rotation
  21. John_Havok
    I would actually, maybe as like a 4 OF set against a really true flyball hitter. Why not? He's already a circus act, we may as well get some laughs out of it. As for a different question of yours about why teams wait until the deadline.... most teams always go up to the draft with what they have, to give themselves a true evaluation of what they already have internally. Then the resources they have are heavily put towards the draft and then the signing period which takes you into early July. Huge focus is put on the draft. Then the attention turns to trades. Some teams will have talked about certain players already over the winter meetings and spring training which will give them a leg up in trade talks (probably the Seattle/Tampa scenario), and some teams you just know are always open for business to get rid of money (Tampa).

    Important parts below: “You can make the case to put him in the major leagues right and he will likely will make your team better,” Atkins said. “There’s also a case to be made for what’s absolutely best for him to be a 20-year All-Star and a Hall of Famer and to be the best possible player he can be.” He also explains that with Josh Donaldson playing third base, the Blue Jays would rather see Guerrero continue to develop in double-A rather than calling him up to potentially DH or play another position. At this point there has been no set timetable for Guerrero Jr.’s promotion, but Atkins knows that the teenager cannot stay at double-A in the long run. “The biggest factor is him realizing his potential and the best place to do that right now is in New Hampshire but that won’t be forever and it won’t be for long, he’s dominating at a rate that suggests that he needs to be considered for triple-A.”

    Yup, keep talking. You're the one that doesn't know what he's talkng about, attacked me, and and tried to come off like a hero. Your schtick is tired kid. Get a new gimmick
