    One of the biggest goals of the WBC is to grow baseball internationally. The tournament clearly does that in countries where baseball is already established. For most teams it feels like a do or die event, unlike the US and Canada. But growing the game also means generating interest in non-baseball countries. Most of the teams are real. The only ones that aren't are Italy, Great Britain, and Israel but including them in the tournament still helps IMO. Baseball rarely makes headlines in Italy, but it does during the WBC, and that's a good thing.

    Should be ready: Cease Gausman Ponce Scherzer Lauer I guess he's going to be ready? Yesavage Won't be ready: Bieber Who knows? Berrios I still think we are okay on pitching depth for now but it's something to keep an eye on.

    Gee, thanks MLB. That makes me feel so much better.

    If Ernie Whitt finds the opportunity, I trust that he will do the right thing and intentionally bean Aaron Judge, hopefully somewhere on the wrist or hand. Canada may not win this battle, but it could be a great first step toward winning the war (the AL East).

    I'm sure Ernie Whitt has tried

    Yeah if we got every single Canadian to show up we'd basically be fine. But if the Pivetta's and Cade Smith's aren't going to show, it would be better if we could get some fake Canadians instead of the Brock Dykxhoorn's of the world...

    Mexico has a damn good roster. They get every single Mexican MLB player to show up, and then they get a bunch of Mexican-Americans and Randy Arozarena to play for them as well.

    We really need Tyler O'Neill to get going. He's exactly the type of player who could crush it in this tourney and carry us the next two games. Yesterday he hit two balls about 500 feet each but pulled them foul. We can beat Cuba and Puerto Rico but the bats have to wake up. The bullpen has been okay so far but I don't trust it much. We need to score runs, and the best way to do that is for the MLB guys to do damage while hopefully getting some BABIP luck from the fringe guys.

    Does the 50% whiff rate affect the grade?

    No prize necessary. I do it for the love of the game. And Brock already gave me this sweet Dugout Mug for helping name the site which was plenty generous:

    Finally getting the props I deserve around here. I knew I liked Brock the second he took over this site. The guy just oozes CLASS and he's a successful businessman who appreciates TALENT when he sees it.

    Yeah I went and checked Fangraphs Playoff Odds and nearly had a crash out at the Jays World Series odds for this year. I also refuse to read that new Jayson Stark article that everyone is gushing over. Kill me

    And? Congrats to AA on being better than Gord Ash and JP Highly Regardi I guess? Does this mean I need to continue to lick AA's nuts a whole decade later?
  16. Terminator
    Remember when Shapiro sent AA packing and the AA Fanboys thought they ran this board? lmao We don't hear too much from them these days do we?

    Milking Lauer for a million bucks isn't a huge deal in itself, but it's a good thing for the team to win the odd arb case. It shows players that the Jays can and will take you to arb and they have shown that they can win the cases. So players better bend some during settlement negotiations or they may end up losing. Could save the Jays millions in settlements over the coming offseasons.

    Lol I would love to see journeyman Eric Lauer demand a trade

    And btw I was saying it made sense to bring Max back all offseason. No one really ridiculed me for it so I don't think any apologies are necessary but maybe some kudos would be nice?

    I've tried various AIDS jokes over the years with little to no success. I thought for sure that I had a banger this time but only one like?? Most posters would probably give up but I'm determined to make one of these work. Back to the drawing board.

    Just phantom IL some of them. Problem solved.
  24. Terminator
    Wow please pray for Matt Waldron. I know modern medicine has come a long way but contracting AIDS is still very very serious.

    The thing with Eloy is that even when he was "good" he wasn't anything special. His two best years were just half seasons where he hit around 140 wRC+. When he managed to actually play 120 games or so, he was a 105-115 hitter. So even in the best case scenario you are talking about a 115 wRC+ hitter with negative defense and baserunning. That's still useful bench player material, but for a team with a DH already entrenched it makes it a tough fit. Ideally he accepts an assignment to Buffalo and comes up if Springer gets hurt. I guess if he mashes they could option Lukes and keep Eloy? Platoon Eloy against lefties (regress the splits and it probably works out okay) and then put Springer in the field?
