    No kidding. Seems getting rid of Gay was addition by subtraction. Granted it's only been a few games, but given that the east is so s*****, they can't really help but win a few

    This....many times over.

    From Fangraphs, very good read. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/hitters-no-longer-peak-only-decline/ Since steroid era, players wOBA declining further and starting that decline sooner. Cano contract looking better and better!

    We're still waiting for that I wonder how many of spanky's near 8000 posts contain the words "troglodyte" "bike" or "fartbox?"

    4 Hall of Fame players drafted in the first round of the 1984 draft, yeah I'd say it was a pretty deep draft

    brb, creating 49 more accounts. And if that doesn't put the nail in the coffin of him obviously being the dogg, I'm not sure what would. He pulled that same garbage every other week at the old forum.

    Copy pasting was much more efficient and gave other posters reasons to live. I saved lives!

    Completely shut out... that's it, I'm going full troll.

    The Jays will have an idea about where they want him but they`ll let his performance in Spring training dictate it for the most part. If they feel he`s advanced enough to go to Dunedin rather than Lansing, they`ll put him there.
  12. John_Havok
    Somewhat valid, but you have to also consider that Phillips is a year older and his contract increases over the next four years. Both will be into their decline phases, and you likely won't have to guarantee 4 years to Infante( yes that's what he's asking for but I don't think he'll get it. Your other point about costing assets to get Phillips is also valid, why give up possibly multiple prospects when you can't get similar value for less money and no prospects?
  13. John_Havok
    Agreed.

    My point of the warning track, catcher's masks and batting helmet was a direct counter to North's post of "adding new rules is silly." Foul balls are not intentional. Throwing is an essential action of the game. Neither is even remotely comparable to an intentional collision at home.

    Where's there's Smoak, there's a mini fire sale?
  16. John_Havok
    Technically Ohka hasn't played for Toronto twice yet in the majors.
  17. John_Havok
    Plays at the plate are exciting, collisions or not. And to your second point, why do you think the warning track was finally instituted in 1949? Or catchers masks and batting helmets? Silly rule changes for pansy ball players...
  18. John_Havok
    You and I see the Posey collision very differently. He was not blocking the plate, the runner ran inside the base path to hit him when he could have easily slid around him. But that one hit, while awful, is not the sole reason I don't think they should be allowed. To me a close slide is no less exciting than a collision, and when you factor in the types of injuries that might result from sliding versus collisions, it's just a no-brainer for me.
  19. John_Havok
    That would be my guess. Dunedin is also possible depending on how he shows in spring training and other arms the Jays are planning on having at each level.
  20. John_Havok
    Political correctness has nothing to do with this. Baseball is a non-contact sport with no need for intentional collisions. Accidents will always happen, and plenty of players will continue to be injured in other unintentional ways while playing the game. Removing one way of having career threatening injuries on intentional collisions is just good business for everyone involved.
  21. John_Havok
    There's no slope involved at all. Legislating intentional collisions at home does not equate to anything other than what it is.
  22. John_Havok
    The fording isn't finalized, but the baseline would belong to the runner and the catcher can't block the plate if he isn't in the act of fielding the ball or already has possession. If he tried to block without possession, he would be called for obstruction. Basically no difference than any other fielder who could choose to step in front of a runner at any other base to tag the runner and not worry about getting run over.
  23. John_Havok
    Why the strawman? Why not just focus on the actual issue without drawing ridiculous comparisons?

    I'd say Lansing. As for whether or not he starts or relieves... It's hard to know with the Jays. They will typically piggyback the younger high school drafted arms together for the first half of the year while giving the college draftees their own starts in between. I just don't know if the Jays see Dermody as a starter or reliever. He sure pitched well in Vancouver last year mostly in relief but many of the Jays previous college arms have done the same thing in their first year, only to start the next. 12.5:1 k:bb ratios is awesome in any role
