    You pass. Welcome aboard

    Mike Cameron played in the height of the steroid era though, so his raw numbers look good now when you compare to current players, but in terms of wRC+ he wasn't really underrated at all. That said, if Alford became Mike Camerons raw numbers in today's game, the Jays would be thrilled beyond belief.

    I haven't found any of his scouting grades in my super quick go ogling attempt, but I don't recall anyone being excited about his power. He had 1 big power season in AA where he hit 16 HR, (very lefty friendly park in New Hampshire) and while there was always optimism that he could develop more power, I think below average was the realistic expectation. He never hit more than 5 in any other minor league season.

    Gose didn't have the kind of power that Alford has though. That gives Alford more leeway to be valuable even if his swing and miss remains an issue.

    I agree that based on his skill set he has a higher bust potential and if you picked him to say you predict he will bust, not that he already is one... I can see the rationale. But for anyone to say he's already a bust is very premature. He also has the floor of a plus defensive CF with burning speed, power potential and a good eye as evidenced by his increasing walk rate. Even if he can't contact as well he will still likely make the big leagues barring injury as a 4th OF/pinch runner, barring further injury issues. So at that point I guess it depends on one's definition of bust.... making the majors but nowhere near your ceiling, or just never making it at all and getting punted, like Jake Anderson

    Just trying to be contrary. Theres no reason to put a bust tag on him at this point in his career at all.

    He touches on Biagini a bit in the article, last year he put up 1.2 WAR but this year only projected for 0.2. Even getting to 0.7 WAR would up their projected placing to 10th overall.

    Thoughts on fangraphs positional power rankings for the Jays rotation and pen: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-positional-power-rankings-relief-pitchers-1-15/ http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-positional-power-rankings-bullpen-16-30/ http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-positional-power-rankings-starting-rotation-1-15/ http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2017-positional-power-rankings-starting-rotation-16-30/ They have the Jays ranked 16th in both rotation and pen. Too high? Too Low?
  9. John_Havok
    Weighting would pretty much do that
  10. John_Havok
    I'll send you a pm later if I'm still in the market. Thanks

    What's the rest of your roster look like? And 9 Teams? Everyone will have an all star team anyways

    NFL Thread

    John_Havok replied to Dylan's topic in Other Sports

    Just saw the NFL owners voted 31-1 that the Raiders will be moving to Las Vegas after 2 more seasons in Oakland. So the NHL is there and the NFL will be. Is it just a matter of time now until MLB and/or the NBA show up?

    NBA Thread

    John_Havok replied to admin's topic in Other Sports

    Really impressed with Delon Wright tonight. Needs a bit more bulk to help him when he goes into the lane but he's really on the right track.
  14. John_Havok
    Some sort of simple weighting system would be ideal. Like 50% projections and 50% actual numbers. Would balance it out somewhat on breakout or slumping guys. If you go 100% on projections or 100% on actual numbers... any good / bad year by any player could skew things dramatically
  15. John_Havok
    I can't see 53 being a regular number, that's got to be highly irregular. In 2015, they signed 17. 2014- 29 Cardinals in 2016... 29 2015... 13 2014.... 23
  16. John_Havok
    If anyone has seasons tickets and won't be using them for some of the games from June 27-30 I'll be in town and looking for anything I can get my hands on.

    The most interesting thing I found from the article was that a car salesman said no to a guy who wanted 10 cars right away.
  18. John_Havok
    Got out for my first round of the year yesterday. Felt good to swing despite the results.
  19. John_Havok
    Seems to be a guy who could be an average CF defensively.... but his swing and miss is worrisome. 33% K rate in his debut of pro ball last year. Decent walk rate though.
  20. John_Havok
    I hope Arenado did that on his own because if Leyland called for that bunt he's a f***ing moron
  21. John_Havok
    Hence the catastrophic injury, which in Stanton case ... pretty much fits the bill or freakish and unlucky. Harper I'd probably be a bit wary of given his injury history, but still... even at 30 million per year he needs to average like 4-5 WAR to be worth it, depending on where the value is of WAR at that point. I think 4-5 WAR is pretty safe for either of those two for the majority of a 10 year deal

    Stroman taking a page out of Osuna's book with a pause in his leg kick a couple of times tonight.
  23. John_Havok
    Sure, but why not? You're only going to lose a 1st and 2nd round pick to do it. Guys like Machado and Harper are the guys you actually want to spend big on. They'll still both be young enough that they'll probably provide good to great value for the first half of their deals at minimum, barring catastrophic injury. It's not like signing over 30 Rodriguez or over 30 Pujols to guaranteed lose-value deals.

    NHL Thread

    John_Havok replied to GD's topic in Other Sports

    2-3 games tops. Komarov got 3 games for an elbow lastvyear, and another guy got 2 a few years ago for a similar type of elbow.
  25. John_Havok
    My bad. I was pretty sure this entire thread aside from Gruber's Pillar-boner posts were all trolling and mockery.
