HERPDERP

You got all this information from one source? Kind of weird that it covers everything from player scouting, umpires to who takes over Bud Selig.

Speaking of Carlson, remember this? http://wapc.mlb.com/play/?content_id=6668859&c_id=mlb

I really don't feel that Profar is enough. We need a 2nd premium prospect. Too bad Olt is gone. I mean, look at a guy like Montero. That guy reached #3 in top prospect rankings. And he's terrible now! The risk of this trade is betting it all on one player. I'd be more comfortable if we got a 2nd.

Meh, we'll still hear talk about this in Spring Training. He'll probably get more reps there too.

Well a guy like Carreno has filthy K/9 numbers in the minors but no one really liked him as a starter. Stroman could end up like a Carreno, but just extremely good in the BP.

/ranton #f***thisteam Before the season I bought TWO 10-game flex packs. I still have 2 more games to go and 4 tickets. I'm thinking of just selling them for a massive f***ing loss. This team is not likeable. Aside from Jose Reyes, the team is absolutely boring and doesn't have anyone you could actively cheer for and hope to suceed. Lawrie is a douchebag who gets angry over every little thing Bautista is good but he can get quite bitchy with fans and everyone doesn't like his whining tendencies E5 is good but we doesn't talk a lot so you can't really talk about him either Arencibia is self-explanatory Pitching staff is pathetic, you can't root for anyone. And plus we have no young guys to bring up and actively cheer for except Stroman. And when the f*** are we going to give this guy a chance? He should be up here. I'd watch a game if he was pitching. I haven't watched a single game since the Cleveland series and I don't see myself doing so for the rest of the season. This team is BRUTAL to watch and it's not fun. s***, my hot friend wanted to spend some time with me at the ballpark and I told her f*** no, I ain't gonna put you or me through this shitshow. Yeah, I turned down a probably good date because my blood pressure would go up just being near the ballpark. I probably could watch if we entered this season with lower expectations but god f***ing s*** son this is such a letdown that I'm going to be depressed until Spring 2014. /rantoff

Personally I have not watched a game since the Cleveland series. Before then I watched every single game. I just do not care anymore.

http://sports.nationalpost.com/2013/07/24/blue-jays-prospect-anthony-gose-tired-of-the-same-old-questions/ I think the guy may have a slight towards the organization for flip-flopping him. To be honest, he can definitely play with us right now as a 4th outfielder, but everyone knows he can be better than that.

With Grilli's injury. I hope they come calling for Jannsen

That fanboy blocked me on twitter because I pointed out how unreasonably biased with the Jays he is. It's almost as if he works for Rogers (oh wait he does!)

It's about time someone said the truth. Funny thing is, pre-season Buehrle said this team was even better than the one he was on that won the WS with the Chisox. So he's part of the problem.

Interesting. Klaw and Stroman were on pretty good terms when they were drafted (they followed each other on twitter). And I really don't think this was Keith Law disrespecting Stroman. He probably just thinks that Stroman can contribute to the majors right now as a reliever.

if you guys are so much willing to waste AB on Pillar then god almighty I want to bring Mauro Gomez up.

I remember what Keith Law said about some random scrub prospect and people pestering him on twitter "You are scouting the stats, not the player"

This will probably be one of the most low-scoring derbies of all time.

You sign Colby and you'll have to put Gose on suicide watch. I mean, the guy just changed after he didn't make the team!

So it's taken a year of dating with this new girl for Ricky to forget about Miss America. Good ol' demons.

Valdespin the scrub goes apeshit http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/07/15/report-valdespin-hurls-vulgarity-at-mets-manager-after-demotion/

Only reason why Rasmus' endurance failed in the 2nd half was because he overworked himself in the cage. The coaching staff and Rasmus acknowledged this and they have corrected it http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseball/jays-outfielder-rasmus-happy-to-have-dickey-johnson-on-his-side/article8773782/ "Consistency at the plate is the first order of business in 2013. Last campaign, Rasmus hit .291 in June but batted just .191 in July, .167 in August and .209 in September. “This year I’m looking to pace myself a little more,” he explained. “Sometimes I get a little carried away with trying to do too much or when I start struggling, get in the cage and taking more hacks and working on things a little more than I should. “I’m going to try to take it easy and try to be more consistent throughout instead of just busting it hard at the beginning and kind of falling it off.” Rasmus also hopes not to let things fester mentally. “This is a competitive game and I don’t like to lose,” he said. “Sometimes I take that to the extent of overworking myself instead of just knowing that I’m good, get out there and just play the game.”

I agree, he seems very...slow to react to plays. Go look at yesterday's*** by Kawasaki. Such a delayed call.

The consensus on this forum (technically the old Blue jay forum) before the start of the season was that AA was a great, savvy GM. He exploited the system and other teams. And of course, after a disaster of a season that can only get worse, he's the worst GM in the league. People are just bandwagoning on him as if he's the flavor of the month.

Anyone want to take a flier on Ackley?

Of course. But you gotta be reasonable here. As some1 mentioned earlier it takes a few years, even more when it's a high schooler. And then you have all the prospects that get traded away. You can't possibly expect every draft to be 100% perfect with 100% of players drafted panned out.

People like to conveniently forget he brought a bottom 5 system to a top 5 in a few years. but f*** AA, cause that's the fashionable circlejerk here!

He also disrespected Luis Gonzalez http://fansided.com/2013/07/10/yasiel-puig-disrespects-arizona-diamondback-legend-luis-gonzalez/ The guy has done a lot of bad stuff since his call-up. Just shows how immature he is. Jay Z is also trying to recruit him...the guy is gonna get way over his head soon.
