  1. 6 more hours! Guess your guesses in!
  2. Reyes, Gyokro, and Grichuk would make a ton of sense for both teams. You can even pitch to the fanbase that you're not giving up on the season with that trade as all 3 pieces would help the MLB club.
  3. I'm not sure the Giants have the pieces we would want though. Heliot Ramos is their only interesting prospect.
  4. https://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/players/cards/10484/maximo-castillo • Signed as international free agent by Blue Jays, Sept. 25, 2015. That's all they got lol
  5. https://www.baseballamerica.com/statistics/players/cards/99350/kevin-smith Coming out of high school, Smith was small and skinny. Scouts liked his glove actions and arm strength, but he needed to go to college to develop. Smith found instant success at Maryland, earning the starting shortstop job as a freshman and quickly developing a reputation for highlight-reel defensive plays. With the draft nearing, Smith's defense remains his defining characteristic. He has plus hands and body control and flashes plus arm strength, though some evaluators note that his arm has been inconsistent this spring. Offensively, Smith shows above-average bat speed and raw power. He batted .301 as a rising sophomore in the Cape Cod League last summer, giving evaluators hope that his pure batting had improved. Smith struggled early on this spring, casting further doubt on his ability to make contact and dropping him to the lower third of the Terrapins' order. His power remains ahead of his hitting ability. In a college shortstop class devoid of players likely to stick at the position, Smith should still be a high draft pick, in spite of his shaky offensive track record.
  6. O0ooo. Let's make this a contest. If anyone who posts their top 10 and it matches the BA top 10 get's 75$ from me. Deadline to submit is tomorrow by 7pm. P2F and John_Havok you can edit your lists if you want.
  7. Curious to see who everyone has in their top 10 before the BA + BP lists come out. JFL19 Top 10 1. Vlad Guerreo Jr 2. Bo Bichette 3. Anthony Alford 4. Nate Pearson 5. Danny Jansen 6. TJ Zeuch 7. Lourdes Gurriel 8. Logan Warmoth 9. Sean Reid-Foley 10. Ryan Borucki I'll use this thread to post the BA + BP lists as soon as they post.
  8. Mark Hulet = Todd. Confirmed.
  9. Both Tulo and Devon project to be more valuable in less PA's. If Toronto has any shot at the playoffs they need a miracle of health. If Tulo/Travis are dealing with injuries most of the year and we're rolling out Diaz/Harrison this team is not that talented at the other spots to compete so at that point it would just be about being less bad. Keep the prospect(s) and invest the 10 million somewhere else.
  10. I may have been on board with this before the Diaz trade. No need to spend 10 million + prospect(s) for Harrison now. The Jays have bigger needs.
  11. Yeah. But some team will and hopefully it's not the Jays.
  12. He's probably going to get 4/60 million. That's a pretty hard pass for me.
  13. Shhh you're not helping.
  14. I'll give you 2 to 1 odds but no min PA.
  15. Precisely. Top secret projections sound so much more fancy though
  16. I don't think the projections accurately take into account the juiced balls though so I think it might be a little light. JFL19 top secret projections say they will hit 96.5 ding dongs.
  17. They're projected to hit like 85 lol.
  18. I'll bet someone 50$ that Stanton + Judge hit less than 100 Homers? Anyone interested?
  19. Yarrrr. Track Record: The Astros signed Guzman out of the Dominican Republic on the strength of his lightning-quick arm and projection for a massive fastball. He spent his first two seasons in complex leagues before moving to the Rookie-level Appalachian League. He was traded with Albert Abreu to the Yankees that December for Brian McCann and lowered his walk rate in his Yankees debut. Scouting Report: Just as the Astros expected, Guzman developed a big-time fastball, but he exceeded even their expectations. He averaged 99 mph with his four-seamer in 2017 and just a tick less with his two-seamer. To put that in perspective, Guzman threw harder than Luis Severino (97.6 mph), the hardest throwing starter in the majors in 2017. He paired his fastball with a developing slider which was inconsistent but flashed average potential as well as a seldom-used changeup. He sometimes had trouble keeping his slider in the zone early in games before finding his feel later. The Future: After leading the short-season New York-Penn League in strikeouts in 2017, Guzman will take his raw but tantalizing package to low Class A Charleston in 2018. He has a ceiling as a mid-rotation starter. Read more at https://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2018-new-york-yankees-top-10-prospects/#Ly4S2uI1KtsFQUwx.99
  20. I was pretty surprised he didn't make the BP top 20 Yankee prospects.
  21. They only get the money if he doesn't opt out though?
