Hahah he said the 2000 first year player draft... Again

Well poop... Frazier at 10 would ave been great

Another bible thumper from buttf*** Texas... Who would have thought

Yes bud, the whole f***ing world knows its the 2013 first year player draft.... YOu don't have to say it before every f***ing pick ....

Love that pick. He would have gone off in Colorado

So who wants to bet that AA goes way off the board with 10?

All I hear is blah blah blah... MOAR RBIs... Blah blah blah

Well easily defensible pick at #1

Yes out of high school, he was going to college for sure but the jays took a flyer and tried to get him. It just didn't happen

I think you assign far too much credit to the impact of a manager on his team. It's like you're saying that if Farrell were here this season the Jays would have an elite OBP with the same players that currently have a crappy one, and largely the same offense that he had last year, and had a crappy one.

I said the same thing when I saw him in Vancouver last year. He is listed at 5'5" and he was standing next to Art Charles, who is 6'6" and built like a tank. It was comical.

Hence the "if" part of my statement

If he's throwing mid 90's with some semblance of command it wouldn't be out of the question for someone to steal him and stick him in the pen for a year then send him back down.

Well to be more specific, AA will claim another crap pen arm only to dfa/assign to Buffalo.

I still have no idea

I don't see that either since Blanco was signed to a non- guaranteed deal

5th year pro, 3rd straight at Current level. Still just 21 but pretty much busted

Shifted to 3b last year

I know you can't really judge defense on errors, but 117 errors in 289 games is pretty bad

Dwight Smith Jr having a pretty good run right now, his last 10 he's hitting .350/.435/.500 with 1 HR and 5 RBI, 6 K, 6 walks and 2 SB.

Honorable mention to Dwight Smith Jr

He played 2B a bit last year with the majority of games at SS. So far this year he's mainly been 3b. Maybe they don't like his range enough for a middle IF position. Pure speculation on my part though. I know they just moved Shane Opitz up to Dunedin from Lansing and he would probably be who they want to get the most reps at SS. 2B is covered by Berti at the moment, I think he's playing 3B just because they need him to at Dunedin.

Yeah. I cringed in his second AB. 5 pitches, only 1 of which was in the strike zone, the 4 others were at least a foot off the plate outside and down and he was there hacking at them.
