  1. Sorry I briefly forgot what as miserable, bitter humourless S.O.B. you are and what an absolute waste of time it is engaging with you on any level.
  2. Can you tell even better if you're listening on the radio?
  3. Urena isn't thought to be s*** though. He's legitimately a prospect just not one as highly regarded as Torres. The nine month age difference is being weighed heavily. Perhaps too heavily but it's definitely playing a big factor.
  4. Yeah Tepera is ********. Jays must be close to acquiring someone else. Doesn't really make sense otherwise.
  5. Yeah I can think of a few just from the AA era, Emilio Bonifacio, Francisco Cordero, Esmil Rogers, Jeremy Jeffress. Mike Sirotka pretty much takes the cake for worst of all time though.
  6. Yeah nothing to lose by going with Morales. Go with Loup and you flush away 2 million dollars just to give more rope to a guy who hasn't looked that good to begin with.
  7. Sure but you're rather obstinately missing the point. You don't project his future speed based on his stolen base total at his age in these leagues or based on wishful thinking about how his diet and exercise will transform him. You look at his body now and you project quite reasonably that he'll probably be a massive guy and not that fast. No, you don't know that 100% for sure but it's what makes sense based on the data you have now.
  8. If you want to speed up the game, the worst thing you could is suppress defensive strategies like shifts and pitching specialists. Better run prevention makes the game shorter not longer. Focus on eliminating actual dead time instead of penalizing strategic progress.
  9. So crazy what's happened with Gose. With his skills, he should have been able to carve a decent career at a speed and defense CF but he's just the worst. You look at what Kevin Pillar has accomplished with his skills and you just shake your head at Gose.
  10. Or he could really slow down. He's too young and playing in too low a level to read much into his steals.
  11. Doug Ault had a great game. Pretty impressive that the Jays pulled off the win in spite of the snow.
  12. I think it's not unusual to give the low affiliate a glimpse at a fast track prospect. Maybe they get a slight attendance bump from it.
  13. O.K. I just looked up Loup's Bizaro stat line. 6 IP, 8 K, 0 BB, 5,82 FIP. I have no idea what to make of that but I'm fine with demoting him to get a decent look at Morales.
  14. Kind of seems like overkill to me. You're very unlikely to field a lineup that has both Pompey and Zeke in it so one or the other should always be available to you as a runner if you add Pompey to the active roster.
  15. Oh o.k. I didn't realize you were advocating for a bench with both Pompey and Revere.
  16. From what I can tell Morales has options too so it's not a do or die decision. In theory they should be able to option either one unless they made some sort of promise to Morales that they would release him if they weren't going to us him (which I doubt given the guaranteed money he's making anyways). If it IS the later than yeah definitely give him a shot. If nothing else, it gives the team more depth. You wouldn't think having a deep depth chart of LH relief options would matter that much but weirdly it actually became a somewhat significant issue in the playoffs last year.
  17. If all you need is speed off the bench, Pompey could provide that just as easily as Revere and you wouldn't even have to acquire him from another team.
  18. There's really no sign that FS is acting in bad faith here and thus no reason to intervene IMO.
  19. If the shoulder feels better, the OF play might be better. I mean he's not a good fielder but he makes it up for it somewhat when he's making strong throws. It's when he's not that he's really a black hole there.
  20. More like Dr. Donger, amirite?
  21. I'm getting SG's 3rd rounder in that Hochevar deal.
