well, yeah, i was talking about the main board though. If i thought this board kinda sucked while posting 15k times that would be strange.
-
To be fair this board kinda sucks. It's just that every other jays forum really really reallyyyyyy sucks.
-
Just for fun. The discussion on the other board when the Jays signed Clippard today. http://www.forums.mlb.com/discussions/Toronto_Blue_Jays/General/Jays_sign_Tyler_Clippard/ml-bluejays/100972.1?nav=messages On our board. http://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/8162-Jays-sign-Clippard-to-MiLB-deal I hope he finds what he's looking for.

Someone probably should have told him we had real life celebrity Mike Wilner post here. I think that would have clinched his membership.
-
We weren't even mean! Well besides P2F. Man, that guy is such an *******.
-
Cool. BA changed their website and now I can't access any of their paid content. That's neat.
-
Wow! That's well over 500 posts per day.
-
How did Travis look today?
-
I'm pretty sure the OP will never post here again upon reading this thread.
-
I can confirm this is true.

Not quite as good as his original #2 overall pick but yeah...Riley is a great pick here. -
Dammit Dinger
-
I assume he has options and that probably has a bunch to do with it.
-
I know. I'm just being an obnoxious ********.
-
I am very curious as to what the new member thinks of the recently created KevinPillar breakout thread.
-
^ is one of the dum dum's

I have no idea what a GD is. Sounds like a serious STI though.

a few tips for new members: 1) don't create a million threads Esp when a trade idea pops in your head. 2) be open to different view points. You can learn a bunch here. 3) don't be an obnoxious ********; we have myself for that. 4) get on Spanky good side. Sending him a pack of brews usually does the trick Follow these simple tricks and you should be just alright here.

1) it's a pretty SABR board but the most analytical members who would provide original research moved onto big boy things. Traditional stats aren't really used but we try not to be as obnoxious if someone quotes ERA anymore. 2) I don't know, the days of JFaS/north posting original projection systems are over. There's still a lot of smart people here though. 3) forum activity is slower the usual rn. The best discussions take place in the off topic forums in the fantasy threads. 4) prospects are fun, they are discussed here with an emphasis on the Jays obviously. We have a draft thread too and I try to post a bunch of useful stuff from BA. 5) most of the core posters are on here 24/7 and thus mega threads are often used. It's nice for us that are super active but for people who don't log on as much I guess things can get missed. It's the best bluejays forum on the Internet though. Welcome! Just one question so I can properly gauge your baseball knowledge. 1) how do you feel about David Cooper?
-
Yeah...lol Anyways, South Alabama game was rained out tonight. Oh well.
-
Well, yeah. No FO is dumb enough to completely ignore X demographic but you can have preferences. If Normon Gorman fell to #12 and he was the clear BPA they obviously won't be like "nope, pass...not a college dude". AA drafted college guys high too.
-
The role of president from Beeston to Shapiro is very different. It's why AA left... Even though Beeston technically had the final say in baseball related decisions he pretty much left that to AA. Dropping Parker and hiring Sanders who as you said prefers taking an analytical approach to scouting would be Shapiro influencing the draft by that hire and getting a guy who's philosophy lines up with his own.
-
You read wayy too much into one comment. AA would set the vision of the types of players he wanted. AA would instruct Parker and team on stock-piling high upside arms early in the draft for currency in trade. I just assume Shapiro does the same; sets the vision and then Sanders and team goes out and finds the best talent to fit the vision. We saw 10/11 of our first picks last year go towards college players, i don't think that's something that would have ever happened under AA and Parker.
-
Well that escalated quickly. Lol. I don't know how you could argue their hasn't been a major shift in draft philosophy from AA to Shapiro. Has any other team drafted more college players over the last 2 years? Serious question. I like Mize too! Deff won't be available at 12 if he stays healthy.
-
I think he said he was a fan of Jeremy Eierman coming into the season.
