I see that Balbino is rocketing through the system. He ought to be in Toronto by 2029.

And Stroman.

Jays claim (and demote) Thad Weber; Santos to 60-day DL
KSaw replied to fatcowxlive's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Silliness. Not to mention that Buffalo have a log jam at 2b. Negrych began the year behind Velez on the depth chart but stole the job away. -
After a couple quiet games with the bat, Negrych went 3-5 today. Average is at .398. If anyone is wondering why I still think he should be up, I'll put it in perspective this way-- I'd rather Velez up over Bonifacio. Izturis can play shortstop and second. Bonifacio really shouldn't ever be in the infield. Now fair enough that he runs like the wind and he has had his bat wake a tiny bit but he's really not an on base guy and his glove is awful. Negrych should be up. If he hit .200 he'd be better than what's here. He's a better fielder. And I don't want to hear this giving up on Bonifacio junk. He's bad at baseball and has a horrible baseball IQ! He just hurts the team.

The Bisons beat up on Zach Stewart before getting around to making Purcey look bad.
-
Org players do break out of the pack at times. Comparing Negrych and Bautista is silly but comparing him to Craig Counsell seems to be popular of late.
-
He is batshit crazy. I'd bet that he does at least 2 years in prison for something at some point.

A rookie second baseman hits .280, with 32 doubles, 3 triples, 13 HR, steals 21 bases and does it with PETCO being his home park, back when the park was new and had silly dimensions-- a rookie, and it's not a big year? Baseball Reference had him as a 3.0 WAR player that year.
-
Fine, the only time they've won 3 games in a row and scored double digit runs.
-
Wow, I went through so many pages of Baseball Reference too.
-
He was a top Padres prospect and had a big rookie season. He was then traded to Cleveland and did next to nothing for 3 years. He never made it back to the Major Leagues.
-
Well it is true that they do use more arm and don't bend as much. Training has gotten better but as recent as the mid 90s, shorter right handed pitchers would generally have a short shelf life due to arm problems. There are exceptions. Pedro being a glaring one. Then there were guys like Flash Gordon who blew his arm and came back as a reliever.
-
LOL. Google. It does seem odd though that no media is mentioning that it's the first time they'd ever scored 10+ three games straight. It's newsworthy.
-
It's fairly new to me but I have a pretty decent understanding of it. It's the whole career ERA means more than in season ERA for predicting results that threw me. It would just seem that in season ERA would be a good indicator of how the rest of that season would go. Once a pitcher was 2-2.5 months into it that is. And that any 1 season's ERA would be a bad predictor of say the next year.
-
Shorter right handed pitchers, generally relievers have also had a lot of history rotating good and bad seasons. The scouting/ coaching opinion has always been that these pitchers have to use more arm and less leg than taller pitchers to get a higher release point and downward plain and therefore have sore arms during rotating years. Wouldn't current in season ERA be more meaningful than career in this case? If you buy into it that is. I'm not playing dumb or arguing. I'm really asking.
-
And what about guys like Bret Saberhagen who would rotate years being a Cy Young ace quality pitcher and a bum the next? His high innings, followed by lower innings from being pulled from bad games semi-annually had to play in, no?
-
Ok but doesn't that disclude age factors and pitching in different home parks? Buehrle for example has been awful the first 5 weeks of each season since he turned 31. Prior to that he was solid early in the year. Things like that. Somehow you have to factor in recent trends or the plain and simple in a groove confidence factor that makes guys simply better. Don't you?
-
More evidence of Buck and Tabby cluelessness. Anyway, confirmed-- this is the first time the Toronto Blue Jays have ever scored double digits in 3 straight games!
-
I don't see either being available but again, mocks are all off the map. Law has Stanek top 10, while Sickles has him 27th. That's just an example. I think Moran might slip. Maybe Shipley or Stanek are available. AA loves his pitchers.
-
Then you're hoping that Renfroe or Moran slip or that they go with Peterson who is projected a few picks later?
-
That all makes sense. In fairness though, WHIP and ERA aren't horrible stats to use during a single season. The defense is the same, the home park is the same, the groove or lack thereof of the pitcher is the same. Once you get a few months in and have a sample size, it's a fair predictor of the future of that year and is a somewhat fair way to measure success.
-
31-- nice! I'm still looking but I'm now almost certain that this is the first time they've ever scored double digits in 3 successive games.
-
With a little more research I'm not shocked to see that Pat and Buck were wrong. 1999: 8-7 over Minnesota 19-4 over Texas 10-6 over Texas 37 runs. Way to go Buck! You were the color commentator on two of those games.
-
24-10 6-2 9-8 All over Baltimore in 1978 was the highest 3-game output. 39 runs.
-
8-6 over Seattle 12-6 over Seattle 14-5 over Oakland 34 runs but not double digits in each game. Thanks for the tip. Made it easy to look up.
