  1. The problem is you clearly don't understand how baseball works. And you use batting average as the only way of measuring a baseball players value.
  2. He's an international free agent, not a FA like Melky. He has under 5 years professional playing experience and is under 23 years old, so the spending pool rules apply still. Some team will spend 30mil on him, and pay another 30 mil in tax.
  3. Baseball people didn't think it was a fleecing, from a pure baseball trade value stand point the Marlins did quite well. The outcry was because of how the Marlins handled FA signings the year before, their stadium issue, and Loria being a dishonest snake. The Marlins traded Buerhle and Reyes who had contracts that exceeded market value (due to very low year 1 salaries), Josh Johnson who was a valuable asset, but only had 1 more year of control, and Bonafacio who was a pretty solid 2b/UTIL guy, and got multiple useful, young, controllable pieces. Buerhle and Reyes, in theory, should've had negative trade value at the time of the deal.
  4. I will bite OFF my tongue if that happens.
  5. Thanks for the post! Does he mention Alford at all?
  6. Anyone subscribe to BA? They had a chat today about the Jays system. Can some of the best tidbits from there be posted?
  7. It was fangraphs, not BP. Here is link: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-the-top-2015-july-2nd-prospects/#comment-4788201
  8. Awesome. I saw one of the BP prospect guys the other day say it's pretty well known within MLB circles who he will sign with, but wouldn't share. This is BIG if true.
  9. I'm not sure how people can compare Rays attendance with what Montreal produced for 2 preseason games...It was awesome seeing that crowd on tv, but there is no way you can come to a conclusion on 81 game/year attendance based on a 2 game preseason sample size.
  10. This deal would have zero chance of happening. Ms are in win now mode in need of offense, and Seager for Lawrie is a big step back for them. you can't trust Brett to be healthy, and Seager is a better hitter anyways. Their whole offseason purpose is to go find a RH bat, so I'm not so sure they'd be as pursuant of Lind as other teams.
  11. Can anyone post the full BA FSL prospect list with write ups? There was also an FSL list chat today with Manuel, Jays related content would be appreciated.
  12. I'm pretty sure the challenge is for the family to get to the USA from Cuba. This seems a LOT more challenging than travelling from Miami to Toronto...
  13. Wow zunino can pitch frame. Made pitch 1 this AB look close to a strike.
  14. Ackley has been one of best hitters in baseball for 6 weeks and his OBP STILL isn't over 300
  15. Ya people need to get on board. #OccupySafeco
  16. Lol, come on, cut me some slack. I live out here and have endlessly heard how big this series is for Ms and how much they hate us. Just looking to have some fun with it and to troll them.
  17. Thanks G. Like King Kat said, we should roll with just one. Your pick. I've used #OccupySafeco already a few times so maybe that's the one to go with. Go Jays!
  18. Haha ya, I was just throwing a couple ideas out there of what it could be. Should pick one though and run with it.
  19. Hey G can we have a thread that promotes a hashtag in the title? I want something to take off to rile up Ms fans. Think it'd be fun on twitter. Don't really care what it is, but if it's in a title of a thread people will catch on. #SafecoTakeover #OccupySafeco
  20. #OccupySafeco #OccupySafeco #OccupySafeco #OccupySafeco
  21. I live in bc and listen to lots of Seattle radio. They're pumping up this series as biggest in 7 years and urging everyone to head to the game so jays fans don't take over. They're beyond irritated with our presence at these games. That's why I wanted to see if we could get a hashtag trending that would irritate the hell out of them. For the game tonight, let's use #OccupySafeco They've been trumpeting this series for 2 weeks and making fun of us (for no reason really) the entire time. Let's have some fun with it! Go Jays
