    Saying its bad asset management is being very generous.
  2. John_Havok
    I think saying it doesn't matter at all isnt quite true(you wouldn't want to see 0 walks in 100 PA) but it's certainly not at the top of the list of things to care about in rookie ball.

    Arencibia hit .470 last week and only struck out once. No walks ....but he only k'd once
  4. John_Havok
    Would think it's a family or personal issue if he's on the inactive list

    It's true to a point, and I have no problems with it at all. I was more making a general statement about DFS in general as not being subject to the same gambling rules and regulations that other forms of gambling, when they're exactly the same priniples, like horse racing.
  6. John_Havok
    Make no mistake. Despite its current protection from the government, DFS is just as bg a gamble as anything out there. You can make the most logical pick sin the world, but it's still pure luck if they actually perform

    Apparantly stacking the Milwaukee cinci game for offense was though. Two awful pitching teams and they're scoreless....
  8. John_Havok
    He was facing b the team with the 2nd highest strikeout rate in the majors ... he was decidedly not a bad play
  9. John_Havok
    3 groundouts to 0 flyouts. Hell yeah

    It's rapidly becoming his "soon to be out of the rotation" pitch if he doesn't pull his head out of his ass. It worked for him in a small sample last year because he hadn't really thrown it as a primary pitch prior, just as a differnet look. The league has adjusted to it, it's not that good a pitch for him, and he needs to get bak to what made him successful. This isn't it
  15. John_Havok
    I just don't think he has changed with the times over the past 5 or so years when it comes to bullpen usage. He still wants his starters going 7-8 innings and only brings in the pen after the starter blows up. I also suspect (though I don't know whreto go to confirm this) that the Jays pen arms don't have the platoon advantage as much as they should, though part if that has clearly been the fact that anyone who throws left handed has either been injured, awful, or both.

    I can't be the only one that's seeing the obvious correlations here. Now that's doesn't mean causation, but it's certainly enough to say "wtf are you doing kid?"
  17. John_Havok
    Pretty sure its being billed as the final GNR tour ever
  18. John_Havok
    One step at a time. We're talking about 70 PA sample sizes here. That doesn't mean that they shouldn't be promoted, just saying that there's only so much that you can see from a stat line about someone's readiness for promotion. That being said, having Biggio, Bichette and Vlad Jr on the same infield would be cool to watch
  19. John_Havok
    Pretty much what I was thinking. It's not something they needed to pursue or even be thinking about at this time. Had a Saunders extension been announced, that could have made more sense depending on the dollars and term, but this is just unnecessary
  20. John_Havok
    Dany Jimenez with a no hitter through 5 too
  21. John_Havok
    just a day off he's in the GCL lineup today
  22. John_Havok
    1-10. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-trade-value-1-to-10/ Not shocking to see Trout at 1
  23. John_Havok
    Meh. His board is way more tolerant than most others. I like it the way it is.
  24. John_Havok
    That's where you decide if you want more quantity of less quality, or 1 of high quality. Obviously we know which way they went. Chances are the Red Sox put the offer out there and had a deadline that if they didn't accept, he would have been off the table and the Padres went with the bird in the hand rather than the 2 that might be in the bush

    11 - 20 http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2016-trade-value-11-to-20/ Donaldson checks in at 14 The reigning AL MVP is making a run at a second straight trophy — remarkably putting up an even better year than he did a season ago — and has established himself as one of baseball’s premier all-around players. In terms of short-term value, few players would improve a team today more than Donaldson, which is why the Blue Jays won’t give him up; he’s the reason they’re contenders. But as a 30-year-old with just two years left before he hits free agency — and that 2018 salary could break arbitration records — Donaldson doesn’t offer much in the way of long-term value, and while he’s going to be making a fraction of his market value, he won’t exactly be cheap. But given his high level of current performance, the Blue Jays would get far more for him than they gave up to get him, even after using up half of the controllable years they acquired; the Donaldson deal may very well go down as the best trade in Blue Jays history.
