thank you for the advice, i will go back and watch some ryan goins footage from 2014 to let you know what i think

money doesn't buy happiness

board cred is worth millions (something you will never have)

i have looked at all the stats: they all say he did not do very well

that's not a tradeoff I would make

imagine waking up in the morning knowing you had the 3rd lowest wRC+ of all qualified hitters from 2014 to 2019

if I was Goins I would be ashamed about the paltry -0.4 career fWAR I put up

wow good one

I just realized we signed ben revere, thanks todd

i've rarely talked about shatkins or kiermaier on this board; this is a fail on your part on the flip side, i'd love to see the picture of ryan goins you have up on your wall, gruber

when will you learn?

go beat off to travis bergen video

not sure what's dumner: ross hyping up socrates brito or getting mad online about ross hyping up socrates brito

De Castro is a high-energy athlete with an impressive set of tools across the board. He's slender, but he's strong. He's a prospect with good hands, solid footwork, speed and a high baseball IQ. It's no surprise he has been compared to a young Jose Reyes. At the plate, De Castro is a contact hitter who hits line drives all over the field. The belief is that he will develop gap power as he body matures, and he gains strength in the coming years. If all goes according to plan, he'll stick at shortstop and eventually sport a .265 batting average with 10 to 12 home runs in the big leagues one day. But for now, he's considered one of the best fielders at any position in this year's class because of his defensive actions and plus arm strength. He's not the fastest runner, but he's quick and makes up for the lack of speed usually associated with shortstop prospects with hustle. Scouts also love his natural instincts and makeup. De Castro trains with Angel Perez, a member of MLB's Trainer Partnership Program, in the Dominican Republic. The Blue Jays are considered the front-runners to sign him. ------------------- the blue jays signing a projectable, contact oriented IFA shortstop with defensive chops, name a better duo

I considered going to this game for 10 minutes but I am now glad I didn't

so what do you want him to say instead? No s*** he's going to talk up a player he just acquired

If by that you mean playing to his talent level, then yeah. He's been a pretty consistent 80 wRC+ hitter for the past 4 seasons.

gross

Trevor Bauer would be close for me

who are the other 4

i hope everyone is firmly tuned into Degrom vs Paddack

deal

he'll be sent back long before then

wow!
