It was more of a bonding comment <3

Back to back weeks, Mr BTS, quite frankly I'm sick of you

my fault, I did ctl + F but miss-spelled, havent used any starts from him.

I feel like it's honestly a decent trade for both sides, I still have two top 20 picks (most likely not getting anything better than Margot for #26/I don't have a CF really) and I will only be having 3 or 4 spots total to fill on MiLB roster. While he gets a good pick and a shot at a prospect he may love.

Anthony Alford scouting report from 2080 - Alford projects as a Role 60, occasional All-Star-caliber center fielder for the Blue Jays with a legitimate set of five tools and plus athleticism. But the profile is of the high-risk variety given his injury history, and reaching his ceiling is almost entirely predicated on his ability to stay healthy. Alford has a well-proportioned, strong, athletic frame. He has a slight open stance with a high hand set-up, and in this viewing he showed a less-pronounced leg kick that was evident when I last saw him last year. He’s keeping his hands and bat quiet when loading, and showing less hand-pump action. He has quick hands and wrists that generate easy-plus bat speed, and he barrels balls up with a very live bat – the ball really jumps, and the hit tool projects as plus. He is a better hitter when looks to use the opposite field and not be so focused on pulling the ball. His combination of raw strength, the ability to loft the ball, and the leverage in his swing give him plus in-game power potential as well, with 25-plus home runs per year not out of the question at the big league level. He should also settle into above-average on-base capability as well, which is currently at .416 thus far in 2017, well up from his .344 on-base percentage at High A Dunedin last year. In the field, he projects as a plus center fielder who should stick at the position in the big leagues so long as the health stays good. He shows above-average first-step quickness and it pairs well with plus range thanks to his plus to double-plus speed. Alford shows good defensive instincts, with good lateral quickness and good acceleration, which offsets the fringe average arm, which is enough to carry the position, but he’s not going to be racking up big assist numbers. He showed plus to double-plus speed out of the box (4.20, 4.25, 4.19 seconds from home to first base) which looks like it has decreased some due to his leg injuries, or perhaps because he’s protecting his legs early in the season (in this series, he left the May 6 game after slipping on wet turf and pulling his groin, though he’s continued to play every day since). On the basepaths, he has good instincts, and I can see 20-plus stolen-base potential. Overall, the package is impressive, and proving his health is one of the few obstacles left on his ascension to the major leagues, as is the Jays’ current roster. With Gold-Glover Kevin Pillar currently occupying center field for the Jays, look for Alford to get some time in the corner spots this season at the Double-A and Triple-A levels, and if the athleticism plays out as expected in either spot, he’ll be in the conversation for a starting role with the big league club on Opening Day in 2018.

This makes me sad, had that guy for 2 seasons when he was a below average pleb and now he's turning into an Ace...

Where did Bichette land?

Looking for a CF - doesn't have to be a stud, just looking for something better than Aoki

So...Aaron Judge looks like he's a thing. Obviously his 54% hr/fb rate won't continue but from last year his o-swing is down 10%, zone contact is up 7%, contact is up 10%, swing rate is down 5% and swingstrk is down 7%. Pretty remarkable turnaround/adjustments from last year.

Mistakes were most definitely made...

Promoting Aaron Judge to the big league squad

It was so nice to see Cory lock down IT after he was whining and carrying on. 1-6 in the 4th quarter from mr clutch. Pretty great win without the teams best player with two players on their first game. Ibaka shut down the PnR the Celts love to run through Horford, hopefully that level of back end defense continues

Yeah Tucker will be a rotation piece down the stretch and we already have 7 players on rookie deals + have all the original first round picks. Everything was dealt from surplus

don't understand this comment, what arent you a fan of? The guy plays great defense, doesn't suck up shots on offense but can score. Is actually big enough to guard guys like Lebron. Seems like the perfect backup SF

We will take Jesse Chavez

Not saying I will move him but considering my options. If anyone wants to send me offers for Harper, go ahead. Looking for young or prime mlb talent over prospects

Lol, same. I thought he would be util only - worth a shot at this point, everyone that is available is either a swingman/6th bullpen piece or part time hitter with limited upside.

Pedro Alvarez

yes sir

Jake Barrett

I will take Carlos Torres

We will take Edinson Volquez

sorry guys I was working today, ill post in our pick in a min...ute

We will take Luis Perdomo

yeah i think so, him and Butera were added in the fall
