I'll give Rowdy at least a full year of rookie ball before I start to get worried about him. He's going to take some time to develop for sure, but on the plus side his k/bb rate (11.5bb% to 19.5k%) so he can take a walk and he's not striking out that much.
-
Okay, back to the good stuff. Miguel Castro starting in the GCL today. So far 3ip 0h 0r 0bb 3so. Urena is 1-2 and leading off.
-
Here are some recent examples. Aaron Fitt, BA
-
No prob.
-
I don't know about that. I follow a lot of the BA guys on twitter, and they're always tweeting from some minor league or college game, while Law's tweets are often about some TV show he's watching, some band he hates, or his favorite way to cook a rack of lamb. lol

Keith Law being Keith Law as usual. No Keith, there hasn't been any kind of turn around at all. No talk of it whatsoever either, especially not by Baseball America, a well-respected publication whose writers actually go out and watch most of these players. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/blue-jays-daniel-norris-showing-signs-of-turning-around-disastrous-start/ Let's just stick with our previously formed opinion as long as we can, then claim Norris added a new pitch or something later. lol
-
We are in the top 10 one loss away from top 8.
-
9th place baby!
-
As long as our actual pick is higher than our comp pick I'm happy. The comp pick is locked in which means every pick on or after it is pushed down one spot. If we finish with the 11th pick for instance, we end up with the 12th pick.
-
I can't believe we have Dickey, Wang, Johnson, and Urena in the same organization. Good times. Quick trade for Fister and Furbush.
-
Top 50, which his "fans" seem to think is an accomplishment. lol

AA is like a zombie: "TOOOOLSSSS....TOOOOOLSSSS..." [cue involuntary drooling] -
Here's the entire article
-
Another reason why Jon Daniels and Theo Epstein are elite baseball executives and AA is...well...not. They're always looking for loopholes to exploit. Trying to be smarter than everyone else, and succeeding more often than not. From today's BA article. I've been advocating this strategy for some time, particularly on the IFA market where the restrictions and penalties are not so punitive. Basically you sign as many players as you want or can afford and sit out one IFA year. You can actually get more quantity and quality of talent than you could by just abiding by the rules year after year. Also, an interesting point brought up by BA is that apparently you don't lose your bonus pool money for the next year by going over the cap, you're just restricted in how you spend it, so you can conceivably trade whatever excess you're not allowed to spend for something useful like the Astros did in getting prospect Ronny Torres from the Cubs.

All of a sudden we have some depth of shortstop prospects, albeit in the low minors. Dunedin: Opitz Vancouver: Lugo Bluefield: Baretto GCL: Urena DSL: Gudino (Next Year) All but Opitz and Baretto are said to be able to stick at short.

Masahiro Tanaka to be posted this off season?
ace3113 replied to ace3113's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN tweets that Twins VP of player personnel Mike Radcliff is headed on a scouting trip to Japan in the next few weeks. Wolfson believes Radcliff will watch right-hander Masahiro Tanaka, who has a 1.20 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 1.3 BB/9 in 20 starts for the Rakuten Golden Eagles this season. -
Masahiro Tanaka to be posted this off season?
ace3113 replied to ace3113's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Here's today's BA article on him and the changes to the posting system http://www.baseballamerica.com/majors/as-teams-scout-masahiro-tanaka-posting-system-changes-could-be-coming/ -
Scouts have been speculating that Tanaka would be posted in time for next season. If that is the case I assume we should be in on it given our need for top level pitching. I'm just worried that he might be overvalued given the success of Darvish as I don't know if Tanaka is quite at that level talentwise. Here was Baseball America's write-up on him during the WBC in which they ranked him as the top international prospect.

Still not giving up on him. He's a project for sure though, but the tools are there.
-
For IowaJays: Dermody just keeps on trucking. 1ip 2h 0r 0bb 2so (5-1 2.16era 33.1ip 41h 3bb 38so on the year)
-
He sounds like a Blue Jay already.
-
He reminds me a bit of a shorter Madison Bumgarner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnFZl-p2e0w
