incredible hindsight. I know I would love it if my favorite team listened to the drunk fans in the bleachers for its in-game management decisions.
This may become the new market inefficiency. You should submit these critiques to the Jays in writing. I'm sure they'd want to pick your brain more given your astounding hindsight abilities.
Lol...
It's now mandatory for players to stand for the anthem if they are on the field. ... but they can choose to stay in the locker room instead.
What a gongshow

Depends if he's up as of day 1 or not.
If he's up as of Day 1 and never sees the minors again, he would lose a year of control, and would not be super 2 because he would never have more than 2 and less than 3 YOS.
That would be dumb as hell by the Jays though and has about 0 chance of happening
No, I would say he's not a great ballplayer. Average to slightly above average at his peak but gets incredibly overrated because of old school stats like RBIs.
his career wRC+ is 102. That's about as average as it gets.
Heh... OPS....
He had 1 great year in 1991, 2 average years in 1992 and 1993 with a great HR in the playoffs and was replacement level or worse in 1994-1998.
For his career.. he had 2 great seasons (86 and 91), 1 good year (88) and the rest were average or crap.
Carter is the poster boy for why old school stats are collectively useless. Also, defense is a thing and Carter was garbage defensively
Which would of course, depend on how old the fan is and their experience with the team.
There's many who still have Joe Carter as the greatest Jay ever just because of that HR, when he was really rather pedestrian for the course of his Jays career and his career overall. He really only had 2 great seasons and a bunch of average to crap ones.
That was part of their reply... they indicated like 8 other combinations they would not allow, because they're Nazi f***s.
CAWK, COKC, CALK, CACK, CAAK........ I can't remember them all.
No radio/TV in Canada starts with W - every stations call letters have to start with C.
W is in the USA on the east side of the Mississippi River... everything west of the Mississippi starts with K.
I applied for a private license one year for the call letters COCK. They were not amused.
This. Age/level isn't as important for pitchers IMO, but it's still important. 25 in AA with incredible BABIP luck on his side right now doesn't paint a very rosy picture for his potential as a major league starter.
As far as his ERA goes... yeah... .187 babip is astronomically lucky, even as a flyball pitcher.
