    Your memory is a bit off... Jays havent had Pulasi since the early 2000s. GCL Jays was Rookie, Bluefield was advanced Rookie, Lansing was A, Dunedin was Advanced A, Vancouver was short season A.

    My mom did, gave one to each of her kids. I fell asleep in the 1st half page. Suffice to say she is no Shakespeare.

    50 Ks thrown by the staff over the 1st 3 games of the 50th season. Coincidence??

    There's a ton of difference websites and companies out there now who will do this for you. My brother gave my mother a "gift" of this service for her to write a compilation of her memories growing up. How this one worked, the service sends you a different topic every week and you just write whatever comes to mind about that topic like " your first job " or "the worst boss you've ever worked for" etc etc ... then after however long you decide to, you stop and they'll put everything together in a hardcover book. She gave each one of her kids a copy. I encourage Olerud to pursue this

    There were plenty of scouts who thought Bo had 1st round talent, they just didn't buy his approach of "swing at everything even vaguely close to the strike zone" and weird swing at the time would play in pro ball.

    But what can he do? *points at Pete* Pete: He gets on base.
  8. John_Havok
    He fits that Jays archetype too. High contact, lower power, can play multiple IF positions. He jumped multiple levels last season (im not counting the 1 game at AAA) and settled at AA with a 124 wRC+ as a 22 year old. Guy didnt even rate in their top 60 according to fangraphs last year.
  9. John_Havok
    Then youre changing the definition of a strike?
  10. John_Havok
    Yeah I think ya gotta
  11. John_Havok
    Kaz being a legit threat ... would be amazing Also, what's the record for strikeouts for the first 3 games of the season by the starters? Jays SP are on a tear right now
  12. John_Havok
    sorry for not copy pasting I am on mobile and driving so text to talk I like Barger today
  13. John_Havok
    I think it would be more accurate to say that the new system shows how important it is not to waste challenges until theres a time when catcher who actually knows what he's doing can pull it off. Umps are already way better than they were 10 years ago just by looking at umpscorecards over the years.
  14. John_Havok
    Straw today please
  15. John_Havok
    Ditto. Gonna be some argy Barging tonight

    Atkins on the MIF situation.... "Kasevich performed very well in Spring Training, and we do have some confidence in him,” Atkins said, “and we’ll be active in trying to acquire depth in that area, as well.” Is that really a lot of confidence then? I read that more like "we have our emergency guy in Kasevich who can can play a game or two, or maybe a week or two to give is time to trade for IKF"

    BEAT THE STREAK!!! Best game on MLB.com to make days like these more fun

    On the plus side, even though he was roughed up a bit in the breakout game, Maroudis was sitting 93-94 and touched 96 with the heater. Still has that hammer curve too. Sure he's still a bit of an afterthought now, but now with that full year+ of rehab and training he could himself back on the radar.
  19. John_Havok
    Agreed that MIF depth is important. But... I just never bought the Leo Jimenez stock. I didn't see anything about him that stood out (which is many times a good thing to be fair). You could see he had some power, but he didn't swing like he wanted to use it. Passive approaches at the plate. Not quite Craig Biggio's son's level of passivity but like... he wasn't looking to make a difference, he was just trying to survive. That's my own (admittedly flawed) eye-test that he failed in combination with not exactly standout numbers. I've never been a fan of Leo. Yes, he's good enough defensively to play SS in the major leagues, but his mindset of what he's doing at the plate is what's holding him back from being an actual major league regular.

    Netflix probably has a larger potential US audience than any cable sports channel to be fair given the weird sports packages on cable. Current estimates have Netflix being present for 60% of the population.

    I'm confident that softball thing was sarcasm.

    Chourio to the IL with a hairline fracture in his hand.
  23. John_Havok
    Given my limited knowledge of stress fractures, I can't help but feel his recovery would be on the quicker side given that he didn't even know he had one, and was pain free and throwing well at the time of the accidental diagnosis. It's interesting to think where he'd be right now had he not been evaluated for insurance for the WBC. Would he still be throwing and nobody having a clue it was there?

    Ponce is an 80 grade name - the real star of the offseason.
  25. John_Havok
    How dare you besmirch the possibility having a peak Ponce. Even if he shifts to the pen in a playoff scenario, Ponce might be the real dark horse MVP of the staff this season.
