Bard has lost it. You don't put up double digit BB/9 rates in AA after being a dominant reliever in the big leagues without some very serious mechanical or mental health issues.

Neither of which should make a Jays fan happy.

It only alters opinions of those who base their opinions on small sample sizes, smaller sample sizes, even smaller sample sizes. The chances of Goins being even an average offensive player in the majors after the kind of minor league career he's had is remote at best. Is he capable of making adjustments? Well sure, every player in the game is physically capable of making adjustments, but whether or not they are successful at it is another issue. So far Goins has looked like he's capable defensively at 2b, carries himself well and doesn't seems to be very awestruck by being in the majors, which is good. His numbers are a regression waiting to happen, with a .400 avg on a .460 babip, an unsustainable LD rate and no power whatsoever, which is bad. And the bad, very much outweighs the good.

I know....just....wow

Yeah that's what I was confused on, Spokane was ahead in the second half standings but the team who won the first half has already clinched the second half as well, and Vancouver is 1 game ahead of Spokane in the overall standings with 1 game to go, and they have the tiebreaker.
-
Did they explain how that is possible? Not being a jerk here I just want to know how they figure it
-
Are they not tied with Spokane with 1 game left?
-
I still go with Spring Training, but add in April for the minors ala Jim Negrych.
-
I doubt they make any additions to the 40 man unless they need to add the guy in the offseason to protect him from the rule 5 draft. Might have to add a catcher though if Jimenez is too hurt to come up. Due to the injuries, there's only 1 position player even on the 40 man available to come up and that's Gomez. The rest will be arms and maybe they DFA storey and add a catcher

Who else wants to drop kick Bonifacio in his head?

You just know he's gonna burn the Jays in a big way somehow in the upcoming series with KC -

You mean like stating that Kalfus is a switch hitting version of Mike Trout? I can only hope that was tongue in cheek.
-
For someone who accuses others of strawman arguments, you should probably refrain from using them in every other post...

this thread is full of win

Hard to answer without knowing who else you have and who else is available.
-
Ah, haha,I thought you meant the fantasy challenge league. You and me are up this week
-
I wouldn't worry too much spanky, my team is just like yours. All kinds of s*****
-
Meh, he's not a high school arm anymore, why would the Jays bother to draft him again anyways?
-
Delmon Young?
-
Saturday - Nolin or Stroman likely to get start

Why bother with anything logical hurl, just ban the guy and let us all get back to actual baseball conversation

I'm no mathlete but really what are the odds of something happening to all 3 players, if the percentage of it happening to each of them is 29%, 26% and 24 %(even if those numbers are accurate)? Or even better, 1%, 3%, 7% individually, but again to happen to all 3? Seems pretty low to me. And as greenwood pointed out, what degree of collapse? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to say that a pitcher who is 38 pitching in a pitchers park with 1 trick pitch who outperformed his peripherals might not pitch quite as well the next year in a hitters peark facing way tougher competition, but did anyone really expect close to 5 ERA for most of the season? No. Anyone who tells you that is pulling s*** out of their ass. Izturis going from 2 WAR in 2011 to -2.2 WAR is not really a standard age curve for 31-33 either. To say that the level of crapitude from every single person on that list was foreseeable is pretty much ludicrous.

Not that I'm defending Stoeten or anything, but really you can make an argument that all of the players who retrogressed this year at the sime can be attributed to luck. Just because it happened to two teams in the same year isn't really evidence of something that should have been forseen. Take your own numbers that you provided from baseball prospectus. You names 7 players with a percentage chance of collapse, none of whom had a higher chance than 29%, and 3 of whom were less than 10 percent. I don't think it takes a math genius to tell you the odds of all 7 collapsing, especially to the degree that they did in the same year is pretty low.
