    He did hit a massive go ahead home run in game 4 which we may not have come back to win that series without, but I do understand your overall point, I agree it wasn't a good trade. Like I stated above though I've never once said I liked the trade, its just one I said I can live with. It doesnt even touch the stratosphere of the Dickey trade

    Are you just making stuff up at this point? Tulo produced a 5.2 WAR the year before we traded him and in 2015 for Colorado before the trade he was hitting .300 with a .348 OBP and .349 wOBA

    While this will never be able to be proven, Im not sure it does. We needed every ounce of talent to win 3 straight against Texas after falling down 0-2. I really dont think we do it with Jose Reyes at SS

    Why are you so fired up about this. Nobody has said it was good value. Nobody even has said they liked the trade. I literally said as far as trading top prospects go this was one "I could live with"
  5. LGBJ29
    Ok this is a terrible comparison. Sale was traded for two top 30 prospects including the top prospect in all of baseball right now. Eaton was traded for two top 40 prospects (#3,#38). We traded one top 100 prospect (Hoffman at 73). Yeah obviously the return is better when you get younger controllable assets at a good price, but you're not gonna get that giving up Hoffman alone. We didnt have the prospect capital to get guys like you mentioned.

    ok its a fluctuating currency though. You can call him $50,000 now but his 2016 numbers left much to be desired. Last year I dont think you could use that same analogy. It was a risk, and minus some bad BABIP luck we could/should have been World Series champions in 2015. No he wasnt our MVP or he didnt carry us by any means in either postseason, but he made provided rock solid D at short, and hit that huge go ahead home run in game 4 vs Texas. Its hard to now say we should have made a hypothetical alternative move they may or may not have been available.

    So you're saying it is acceptable to call someone out from the comfort of your own home behind your monitor, IF it is deserved. Got it And before you start running your mouth you might wanna do some background checks. The prediction was based on a single viewing of one spring training game. If you're gonna start threads on a message board making bold predictions, you better have some evidence or research to back it up or you open yourself to ridicule. Predictions are always welcome, but if you're gonna put yourself on a pedestal, try not to make said prediction f***ing terrible

    Hoffman is likely going to be very good which stings a little. However, Tulo lead us to two amazing postseasons that we would not have experienced with Jose Reyes or Ryan Goins. So as far as trading top prospects go I can live with this one
  9. LGBJ29
    yes

    Nice I'll give it a look. I usually take a look at TickPick ,StubHub and SeatGeek if Im going to a non-scheduled game and just choose the cheapest between the 3. Ill definitely give this a try

    Bo is the sexiest Jays prospect we've had in long long time
  12. LGBJ29
    Thats quite a strange pleasure you've got there
  13. LGBJ29
    Line down to -500 at some spots
  14. LGBJ29
    Could very well be. It takes like 2000 balls in play for a pitchers BABIP to normalize, so last 2 years could be more of an anomaly. However .336 would still be relatively high, and the poor defence this year likely has a lot to do with that combined with some bad luck. For the factors he can control he's definitely improved on the past 2 seasons
  15. LGBJ29
    Additionally, K/9 up (8.44 to 10.18) and BB/9 down (3.32 to 2.21). Big difference is the BABIP. .234 last year to .336 this year. Once it normalizes he'll be fine
  16. LGBJ29
    Exactly what I said. The same thing happened in the Pacquiao fight. So much hype for the most uneventful hour of television. And thats with someone who was actually trained to box

    Anyone else noticed he hit a double which appears to be foul and also did not make it to 3rd base? lol
  20. LGBJ29
    yeah, and this is a perfect example of why I feel its way too early to call a draft disappointing or underwhelming especially without it being over. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I think they've got a plan in place and we wont know for years how well it worked. (not singling you out by any means)
  21. LGBJ29
    It's almost like they're viewing this thread :/
  22. LGBJ29
    Fair enough, but if you want high ceiling guys, why no mention or praise of the Riley Adams pick? From FanGraphs Q&A:
  23. LGBJ29
    I guess the FO feels its more important to get the guy you want rather than a boom/bust guy just because you can A draft being weird or suspect is a subjective take. Looking at most teams drafts very few teams took top 200 players past the 4th or 5th round. The Yankees only took less players in the top 200 than the Jays did. Cubs, Red Sox and Indians only took 1 more. You seemed to really want guys like Burns, Beck and Cabrera in the 3rd and 4th rounds, and these are guys that are still available in the 25th round. You can get as creative as you want, if they arent gonna sign they wont sign. This isnt the old regime, they aren't going to operate the same way based on what?
  24. LGBJ29
    how much do you know about guys ranked 200-500? You can only do some much with the money you have for signing
  25. LGBJ29
    Whats with the scouting report? Is this who you're hoping for or something? Edit: didnt even see we were already in the 12th round lol
