Cuban Yoan Moncada believed to have defected
John_Havok replied to ace3113's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If there was a case to be made that he would slot into the majors immediately and be an impact player.... Maybe for the richest teams. But even then, they'd be paying tax on the signing bonus, plus very likely a luxury tax on his salary. It just won't happen. -
Not to mention the fact that the "hive mind" these idiots keep referring to is still the huge minority voice when it comes to baseball as a whole. I guess it's okay for the old school to be a hive mind, just not anyone else.

Buffalo only 1 game out of a wildcard and are playing the Red Sox affiliate right now, wwho is the team they're chasing. Stomped them 15-2 last night. They might actually make the playoffs and having Norris there for that would be nice.

Don't see a need to start his service clock. If they want get him more innings there's always the Arizona fall league

Of course one, he's subject to the international signing cap. No team would take a tax on up to 85 million just for 1 guy who wouldn't even be going straight to the majors. -
MLB Might have an out there Gibbons was already on his way out as Escobar was getting in the box. Nice dig by Davidson on Gibby though... "Not a speed merchant"
-
Nobody on Navarro. The shutout continues
-
Hey look everyone, Maddon is making a pitching change BEFORE his pitcher gives up the lead.
-
Is that Russian? Maddon never ceases to amaze
-
Most here know exactly how protests work.
-
Can't see how it wouldn't be. Maddon is unarguably right
-
So if the jays win, they'll have to replay this game from the time of the protest. I doubt they'd play it unless there was playoff ramifications though.
-
100% right

Except as otherwise set forth in Sections II.D.2-4 below, to be timely, a Manager must exercise his challenge (by verbal communication to the appropriate Umpire), or the Crew Chief must initiate Replay Review (if applicable pursuant to Section II.C above) before the commencement of the next play or pitch. Such challenge or request will be considered timely only if the Umpire acknowledges that communication within the time period specified above. For purposes of these Regulations, the next "play" shall commence when the pitcher is on the rubber preparing to start his delivery and the batter has entered the batter's box (unless the defensive team initiates an appeal play in which case any call made during the play prior to the appeal still may be subject to Replay Review). A challenge to a play that ends the game must be invoked immediately upon the conclusion of the play, and both Clubs shall remain in their dugouts until the Replay Official issues his decision. No substitutions or pitching changes may take place while the Umpires are in the process of invoking Replay Review.

Kudos to Maddon for calling the bunt with Valencia playing way back, and having players capable of laying one down. High and wide to first.... Inning keeps going... Clusterf***
-
Just no words for this team's defense lately.
-
Anyone notice the Jays defensive alignments recently seem to be really ... Off? Lots of balls hitting gaps in both the IF and OF... And holy s***... Wtf was that fellas?
-
Don't worry spanky, the chances of a hr being hit lately are between slim and none.
-
Spider-balls sighting
-
Gibbons needs to get on this clown of an ump and see if he can get a real strike zone enforced.
-
Framing is still in it's infancy about understanding how much is due to catchers and how much is due to other factors, so I'm still highly sceptical on the current numbers that are coming out. Yes they probably identify the catchers who are bad and good at it, but the actual strike numbers and run values attributed solely to catchers as a result are still very suspect and in need of far more work.
-
And the ump gives away a base... Just ... Wow
-
I want being sarcastic either, I'm genuinely interested to see if he's improved at all with his command or just benefitting from AAA hitters being s*****
-
5 and a fielders choice I guess...
-
Time to stick a fork in this one, what's that 7 straight hits now?
