If you had to choose one or the other, who would you keep moving forward?

The Tim Tebow of Saskatchewan beer league slo pitch

I won't have any room to keep him with Lundqvist/Hellebuyck/Andersen, and Oshie/Steen coming back from injury (+ waiting to see if Guentzel is good or not to activate him from NA). Then possible promotions of Aho/Saros/DeAngelo etc.. On top of that he's struggled this year and I can't wait for him to figure it out.

Works for me. Who do you want to drop?

2nd round waiver or entry draft pick would do it

Anyone want Jacob Markstrom? Need to clear room for some players coming back off the injured reserve.

Thanks! I'll probably purchase.

You would fit in well on the Blue Jays facebook page.

https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/eric-thames-went-from-quad-a-slugger-to-korean-league-star-whats-next Beyond the baseball learning curve, Thames knew that his move to Korea would come with a pretty major lifestyle shift. As a well-built, 6-foot black man with a thick beard, Thames stands out "like a sore thumb" around town. Asian baseball fans are known for their intensity, and given how easy Thames is to identify, there's no escaping the celebrity that comes with emerging as one of the greatest players in recent KBO history. "It's kind of hard to blend in," Thames allowed, but he's leaning into the weirdness; he says his next goal is to be in a Korean commercial for "some deodorant or something." He has no choice but to embrace it, to some extent—he's that famous, and Korea's fans don't care much for boundaries. "I remember I was on a date," Thames said. "And I was making out with this girl outside my apartment. And this fan came up and tapped me on the shoulder and asked for an autograph. Like, dude, what are you doing? There's no privacy here. I could be eating dinner. I could have a burrito in my hand, eating, and someone will want to walk up and shake my hand or ask for a picture."

It's a shame Bozy needs someone to hold his hand through his own internet battles.

Yeah bro just like this absolute zinger in the LoD thread Gotem good!

Hahahaha what a funny joke I am dying of laughter hahahaha

You're an idiot.

I don't understand why anyone would want him to fail. I'd love to see more players (or strategies) come into the MLB that change the way we think about the game. What if Otani has the bat of Mike Trout and is also an ace pitcher like Kershaw? Or if Christian Bethancourt successfully transitioned to RP/C/OF/SS full time. Pat Venditte sucks but the whole switch pitcher thing was pretty cool. What if Aroldis Chapman could throw 103 with both arms?

While guys like Pedroia and Kinsler materially outperformed their BIP-based productions, Devon Travis did so by an even greater margin — and doesn’t appear to have to possess a defining skill to account for the difference. Travis batted a ridiculous .747 AVG-.960 SLG (124 Unadjusted Contact Score, adjusted down to 91 for context), and an even more ridiculous .302 AVG-.362 SLG on grounders (172, down to 97). His many injuries seem to have whittled away at his offensive ability. I’m not terribly optimistic moving forward.

That field goal attempt, was mindnumbingly stupid.

Leafs suspended Garret Sparks for his comments on a facebook group defending a disabled person, all while insulting 13 year old girls http://www.tsn.ca/sparks-suspended-indefinitely-by-maple-leafs-1.617534 TORONTO – Toronto Marlies’ goaltender Garret Sparks has been suspended indefinitely by the Toronto Maple Leafs for violating team policy after directing violent and sexist language toward a user in an online group. Sparks did not dress for the Marlies on Friday or Saturday. “[Garret] was sent home for some team policy reasons when we were on the road trip there [in New York],” Keefe said after Saturday’s 4-1 win over the Utica Comets. “I’m familiar with the circumstances, but we’re not going to comment any further from there. Management handled the situation.” The Maple Leafs released a statement saying they were aware of the incident and that it had been addressed directly with Sparks. The suspension stems from an incident that came to light on November 22. According to users in a Facebook goalie group for which Sparks is an administrator, members of the forum were mocking a disabled person and Sparks came to that person’s defence by asking one of those in the forum where he lived and writing, “I want to go to open hockey with you, drag you out to center ice and beat you into a [expletive] pulp until you can’t run that [expletive] little mouth of yours. God, you sound like a 13-year-old girl.” When another member reprimanded Sparks for insulting women, he apologized and continued, “Girls don’t even whine as much as this guy does.” Keefe said there is no timetable for the goalie’s return. His status will be reevaluated by the team in the next week. Sparks could not be reached for comment. The 23-year old native of Elmhurst, Illinois played 17 games for the Maple Leafs last season, posting a 6-9-1 record, 3.02 goals-against average and .893 save percentage. Slowed by an injury this season, Sparks has seen limited action, going 3-1-0 with a 2.02 goals-against average and .918 save percentage.

Wow!

Wtf?
