Yeah the draft shouldn't take this long.
-
Good thing I traded him in my 30 team dynasty league. I hope he's alright though - I've always liked him.
-
In the FC league, promoting Shelby Miller and Julio Teheran this season was an amazing feeling. Also promoting Daniel Hudson back in 2010 as well. When you draft your own guy and they make it to the Show, you can't help but cheer. I drafted Miller, Matt Davidson and Daniel Hudson in 2009, and Teheran in 2010.

I love Tazawa. Never wanted to drop him, though I figured there'd be a ton or relievers available rather than starters. It was a debate between him and Hughes for my final spot, and since Hughes signed with the Twins in that pitcher friendly park, I'm willing to bet on a bounce-back since he always has had good K rates and is still just 27.
-
Yeah able to draft a potential closer at pick 9 is definitely something I won't complain about. I really like Hunter - has great peripherals even if he ends up a setup in Baltimore I won't complain. Still a lot of interesting names available from bats, to bullpen arms. Not much in the SP department however.
-
Hurl said he was going to use his whole 12 hrs.
-
Someone took Jose Veras over Eddie Butler? Wow.
-
lol. Didn't you get Goldy for Holliday?
-
Check out my rotation in the salary 30-team dynasty league I'm in: Darvish, Bumgarner, Latos, Bailey, Salazar, Hudson, Peralta, Capuano, Volquez, McDonald, Bedard Signed those last couple of guys to stash in my minors for some depth.
-
I'd take Shelby over the both of them though
-
Spanky, what do you want for Tim Hudson?
-
Likely Wacha since he's only 22 and pitches in the NL. Redraft league, tough debate between the both of them though I'd likely lean towards Cobb in 2014.
-
In dynasty, definitely. In a yearly league, I'd find it tough to rank him in the top 100, though it's plausible. I think he'd fall between 100-125 for sure. Like Dinger said, you likely would lean towards Shields in a yearly league due to the durability and IP's he provides.
-
Any manager looking for a solid bat send me a PM. Looking to shake things up with my squad.
-
I wouldn't buy into Cobb as a SP1 since he hasn't even pitched more than 150 IP in a season. I like him, though I'd consider him a borderline SP2 just barely. He's more of a SP3 in my books.
-
I'm looking to add one more top starting pitcher before the season begins if possible. Howie Kendrick, Victor Martinez, Tex, Victorino, Soriano, OTB. Also could include a pitcher like Turner, Hughes or Peralta in any deal if a team needs a starter back.
-
I'm sorry, but I can't hear you with my two Fantasy Challenge Championship rings plugged into my ears?
-
Jays unlikely to sign Ervin Santana per Jayson Stark of ESPN.

Yup, sign a Mark Ellis, or trade for someone like Ackeley or Espinosa would have been smart moves. Also, signing a guy like Capuano now would be a terrific bargain; or even a guy like Floyd or Baker earlier this offseason. Lastly, they failed getting a RHB who could platoon with Lind and someone who could play a position - Ruggiano would have been a perfect fit (can play all 3 outfield positions and has crushed lefties throughout his career). -

Jacob Turner is OTB anyone looking for a young SP with some upside. Shoot me a PM if interested.
-
Yup. Only way this team is better than next season…well here are some things: -Jose Bautista returns to his 2010/2011 form -Reyes plays 150-160 games -Lawrie breakout -Morrow makes 30 starts and pitches in top form -Dickey returns to his 2012 form -Stroman gives the Jays a Sonny Gray type season -Adam Lind remembers to hit like in 2009 again! -Rasmus doesn't regress after his 2013 season -Melky plays like he did in 2012 -Navarro repeats 2013 success -BP stays in top form again Basically have to be really optimistic and a lot of things, if not everything has to go right for them to contend in 2014
-
Agreed. And there were many 2B available this offseason especially through trade. Cheap guys that likely wouldn't cost that much such as Espinosa, Franklin, Ackeley etc. Drew is still a FA as well.
-
True, but I cringe seeing Happ and Rogers in the rotation come Opening Day, when there were so many affordable pitchers available this offseason who would have been huge improvements over those two guys.

I have no desire to go to the Home Opener this season and sit with all those jerks and phoney baseball fans. It makes me want to throw up. Looking forward to catching the game with Spanky, Gibbers, Vik, Hurl on the Saturday or Sunday! -
It's been a failure of an offseason with this team. They didn't even go out and add guys that would have came cheap which is so frustrating. Why not trade for Espinosa or Ackely, when you'd be able to get them for close to 50 cents on the dollar? Second base is going to be a disaster this season. They didn't even strengthen their bench this offseason and never found a platoon partner with Lind. I really couldn't care less about the Blue Jays this season. I'm looking forward to baseball in general! To be honest, since I have MLBTV, I watch more out of market games than I do Jays games. And as much I love going to baseball games, I really don't have any desire to watch games at the Rogers Centre after visiting ballparks like Fenway, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Wrigley, Great American, Citizen Bank etc. I'll go to a couple of games this season (the one with guys like Hurl, Spanky, Gibbers at the beginning of the season) and likely one or two in June/July if there's a particular team or players/pitchers I want to see but I won't be going out of my way in years past to catch a game every series or week like I used to.
