    I would agree, except dabbing is for 4 year olds...

    Raw counting/rate stats don't tell the whole story. He still walked, still didn't strike out, and as Boxcar mentioned, his babip took a nosedive which may just be SSS noise. His power output dipped, but I don't think Smoak is in danger of putting up a .140 ISO for any meaningful length if time. If I recall correctly he missed some games towards the end of August with a leg injury, and probably played through it the rest of the year which could be partially to blame.

    With 3 more club option years for good measure. Could be signed through 2026 if all options are picked up. Option years are 13, 14 and 15 million.

    Biagini, Rowley, Borucki. ... but I think you're looking at a more veteran type of arm. Yeahnit probably wouldn't hurt to have a guy like Garza around to try and help the young guys. Hard to see him signing a pure minor league deal though.

    So only real changes from the likely opening day lineup are the bottom 3... Martin, Diaz and Pillar.
  7. John_Havok
    Also true.

    Yeah, I get the whole best hitter should hit the most theory. It's very logical in its conception. I'm just not sure how much extra value would result from your best hitter hitting more often with nobody on base, or potentially getting walked and not even getting a chance to affect anything

    I'm not sure the NL doing that would be as benefical as it would be in the AL due to the P spot coming up right before the leadoff spot and that P spot kills many innings and could allow them to pitch around Harper in the important situations. With 1 out, you pitch to the P spot get to 2 outs and walk Harper. With 0 out, you pitch to the P spot, get the out, and walk Harper to set up DP. With 2 out, you just get the P spot out and Harper starts the next inning with nobody on base. I guess that assumes it's the P hitting, which in late game scenarios it would likely be a pinch hitter instead. ...

    Wow!

    Better than political garbage

    Let's not turn this into a sex thread too....

    Trout hasn't struck out yet so far this spring in 44 PA.
  14. John_Havok
    Not to mention that neither have even played AA ball yet and haven't faced any real pitching talent in the spring. To me the only interesting question left for them this spring will be if they start in AA or Advanced A again.

    Espinosa is a minor league deal, neither Goins nor Barney would have immediately resigned to a minor league deal since both spent time on the major league rosters over the past 3 seasons. Both eventually did sign minor league deal with other teams because as we know, they aren't really good enough to be roster players. But really, the question you need to ask is why it matters what plan F for the infield is. If injuries to Tulo, Travis, Solarte, Diaz and then Ngoepe happen and Espinosa is needed, the Jays are f***ed either way and the season is likely over. The same would be true with either Goins or Barney or any other number of glove first no bat MIFs around baseball. He's really just a "in case of crisis, break glass" type of player with the slight possibility of some power upside. He's also had a history of being a positive value player with the exception of last season, so there's reason to have expectations that if he is needed, he can step in and not be a supreme black hole like Goins or Barney.

    I both admire your skills, and hate you.
  17. John_Havok
    Can you dickheads take the obnoxious social justice ******** to the OT section is the Forum? There's plenty of threads there full of virtue signalling and whatever other crap people like to argue about. This section is for arguing about baseball f***
  18. John_Havok
    Because Maile being a defense first backup is already his ceiling. Jansen can be a starter. You don't develop starting catchers by playing them twice a week
  19. John_Havok
    f***, now I need to come up with a new twitter handle. I figured for sure that one wouldn't be taken
  20. John_Havok
    Cliche I know, but the sound of the ball off hit bat is just different. It's incredible

    Interview with Shapiro....really interesting IMO https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/mark-shapiro-blue-jays-prospects-tickets-renovations/ The final quote from Shapiro: "We’re going to go to as far as our starting pitching and our health takes us. If the starting pitching stays healthy and productive and we avoid longer-term, catastrophic-types of injuries, then we’ll be playing meaningful games through the end of the season and hopefully into October. We’re still at a point where it’s a little bit fragile. There’s still that underlying reality that we need to stay healthy, but I think that’s true for almost every team."

    Would make sense, he can probably catch on somewhere.
  23. John_Havok
    I wonder if he has a release clause because he isn't making the big squad.
  24. John_Havok
    Pun intended?
  25. John_Havok
    I knew it, just didn't care to name that shithole. It's not a nice experience at all. Rogers is far better
