They need to build a new ballpark.

He's the most babied pitcher in baseball. - He needs a personal catcher in Josh Thole who is awful and essentially limits the Jays to 24-man rosters. And its not like Dickey has been that effective with Thole behind the plate anyways. - He needs the dome closed. I remember back in May, it was a gorgeous night and the roof was closed because guess who was pitching? And the Jays lost. - He's inconsistent and isn't the ace the front office thought he was - which pisses me off since they paid top dollar for him in trade when they could have used those assets the previous offseason to trade for a Gio Gonzalez, Mat Latos etc. Dickey is a reliable starter - I don't mind him as a No. 3 since he could put together a solid stretch of starts and eats inning, though paying the price of an ace for a No. 3 starter is a massive fail by the front office.

Speaking of catchers, Yan Gomes has a 4 WAR this season so far. I remember shopping him back earlier this season, and nobody wanted him. I sent him in a package for somebody back in July - either for Brantley or Cruz. He's definitely been useful in fantasy this season.

Ianetta has a solid on-base percentage. He's definitely useful.

I'm rostering Tomlin in the Premier League as an extra BP guy (SP eligibility). His K/9 is intriguing. Wouldn't give up much for him in the DDL however since I likely doubt he'd be a keeper for next season.

Just drop Ike already. I doubt anybody keeps him as part of their top 20.

Best way to contact the Hurl is through Facebook. He's told me that he is swamped with work however.

Anyone getting NHL 15?

Quebec City should definitely get their team back. Not sure if the Leafs will allow another team in or around Toronto. Didn't they want to move a team to Hamilton, and it got refused?

Thank you for those kind words. If you need a co-manager, I would be more than happy to join.

I'd likely deal Yelich for a healthy CarGo. I don't think Yelich at his peak ever reaches CarGo's level. The thing I like about Yelich is the kid knows how to get on-base and he'll likely grow into some more power down the road.

Just off the top of my head, I'd still take these guys over CarGo when healthy in dynasty: Trout Miguel Cabrera Stanton Cutch Tulo Goldy Harper Braun Votto

According to the league standings, you are!

Could you just stop while your ahead? This is completely unnecessary. It's like you're looking for a confrontation.

Not again. Not looking to start anything here.

Was I even talking about him? No. I never made a mention of his name and he starts making assumptions and insults me on the board again. That's uncalled for.

What did I do exactly?

Reported.

Yup. Not going to name names, though one is a pretty prominent and active member on this board.

He needs some bats badly. Pollock and Tavares and maybe Marisnick look like they could be fixtures for him moving forward, though even those guys have question marks. Pitching wise - Harvey, Nelson, Parker, Pomeranz, Gonzalez isn't that bad.

It's alright, I've seen worse in dynasty leagues.

Someone offered me this just now in my 20-team, 40 man roster ESPN dynasty league: I get: Jose Bautista I trade: Zach Wheeler and Miguel Sano Thoughts?

2014 numbers. Last time he provided similar results?

I think you're looking way too much into his 2014 numbers. He's likely going to regress. The Blue Jays are in no position to give him 4/60 this offseason and even if I was a GM of any other team, I wouldn't dare come close to those terms.

Those are realistic terms. I can't believe numbers like 4/60 and 3/50 are getting thrown around for Martin, geez.
