    I don't think anyone underrated him. He's a good reliever getting great results. Bullpens only matter if you have a good starting staff, they're also very volatile by nature. If anything, I think baseball as a whole still doesn't realize how easy it is to replace good pen arms and build a very good pen on the cheap once you get past the save statistic. There's a few teams that get it, but not many.
  2. John_Havok
    Yes you can. He did. All relievers are the very definition of failed starters. If they could have succeeded as starters, then they wouldn't be relievers.

    His head got in the way. Has no confidence left

    Loup is your typical MLB reliever, failed as a starter in the minors, tweaked his delivery and limiting his repertoire to effective as a reliever in the bigs.
  5. John_Havok
    His only base runner reached on an error. Hit 94 with ease according to the game notes
  6. John_Havok
    Yes I see it. Sometimes when you first post it you can't see it but if you refresh the browser you can see it

    One way to work them both in would be to move Melky, have Gose in CF and Rasmus in LF, the 8 million in savings would easily make up for the arb raise for Colby, but I suspect that Colby met be in line for a 3ish year deal with an option tacked on in true AA style. I think something like 7 million for 2014 and 2 years at 9 million, plus a 10 million option. That's about the same kind of deal Edwin got and would be a pretty decent deal for the Jays. It's certainly less than what he would get on the open market if he had another good year in 2014, but he doesn't have a lot of leverage since he's coming off some pretty bad years and now just 1 decent one.

    Yeah I agree, I want Stroman as a starter until he fails, and so far he hasn't. I get that some other clubs bring up kids in the pen first to show them what they're in for, and i think there is merit to that in the event that the kid would have to be added to the roster in the offseason anyways in order to avoid the rule 5 draft, or if he's really dominating the minors and your team has an injury to a few pen arms and you're in a playoff race. Other than that, it doesn't really make sense.

    His wOBA this year would put him 4th among qualified major league LF and tied for 4th among qualified RF. Also, his defensive value would likely go up moving from CF to LF.
  10. John_Havok
    I agree with pretty much everything you said there except ... Gose over Rasmus... Rasmus is providing a fantastic amount of surplus value for his 4.75 million dollar contract this year, likely far more than Gose would be, and Redmond is making league minimum and only on the team due to injury. Starting Stroman's clock makes no sense from a fiscal POV in a year where they aren't competing. If you mean for 2014, then there's a bit more to the convo.

    It's a quality ballsack
  12. John_Havok
    I vote for my ballsack.

    About time. Admit i have a bit of a local bias since he played here in Lethbridge when he was drafted, but his numbers are ridiculous for rookie ball
  14. John_Havok
    I agree. Don't need to clean house, but with such a surplus that 1-2 arms wouldn't be missed and easily replaced, there's moves that can and should be made.
  15. John_Havok
    Well it says no homers... So they should be allowed 1.
  16. John_Havok
    Is there such a thing as " insufferable positive pusses?"
  17. John_Havok
    Ah yes. Batting average ...
  18. John_Havok
    I don't see the problem. He knows it's A problem, he's mad that it's still a problem, and blames himself for the problem. Sounds like what he should be saying. It's not like he went all JPA and is blaming the media for his problems.

    Hard to say, I find it hard to get any kind of read on pitchers until they get to full season ball. If Robson spends next year in Lansing, he'll be in his age 21 season, which is really the upper limit for that league. Jays take it sooooo slow with their pitchers it's nauseating.
  20. John_Havok
    Robson's GO/AO lately is obscene. 33 GO to 4 FO over his last 4 games
  21. John_Havok
    Kalfus would be lucky to have the minor league career Pillar has had.
  22. John_Havok
    Quite possibly the season low today. I'd be surprised if there wasn't one of those token "players only meetings" tomorrow
  23. John_Havok
    Absolutely. I'm remotely optimistic, but until we see this at AA or AAA, consistently keeping the walks under control while striking out his share, there's no real reason to expect anything from Drabek going forward
  24. John_Havok
    Hoe you reported him. He clearly created this account as a vent with no intention add any meaningful discussion.
  25. John_Havok
    It's really not. It's not good, but it's not like there isn't some reason to think that bounceback isn't possible in 2014 with a few key moves. I'm not sure AA makes those moves, but ... Can always dream.
