    Profar or keep 'em AA.
  2. DuckDuckGose
    Projection systems also project the number of PA's expected out of a player. So those health projections.
  3. DuckDuckGose
    Where do you get the projections on a per game basis? I'm really only familiar with PECOTA and ZIPS and was taught not to use them that way... On defence we're talking a ~1 win gap. I think Reyes provides more than that with his speed, base-running and offence but, I'm too lazy at the moment to actually analyze the stats.
  4. DuckDuckGose
    Listed at 6'1", 195lbs. Not the ideal pitchers frame but, I wouldn't call that small, definitely not Stroman small (5'9"). Semantics though, I like his stuff for $400k as well. Now hopefully he can stay healthy (I'm looking at you Jamie Evans).
  5. DuckDuckGose
    The whole point was that Reyes is in another talent class than Escobar. I completely agree when you look at projections (especially health projections) and contract status Yunel comes out on top for very concrete and quantifiable reasons. Pure talent though, it's Reyes all day, every day, and twice on Tuesdays.
  6. DuckDuckGose
    Good point, I always forget about Dusty. He's still throwing 4 pitches. Not sure if he's just still finding his groove or they are trying to get him reps for next year. You would think he'd drop a pitch if he was going to be a reliever long term.
  7. DuckDuckGose
    Really depends on Cano and ARod. Losing either of those players would drastically increase the chances the Yankees land McCann.
  8. DuckDuckGose
    +1 Signings early, long thought-out, well planned maneuvers over the rest of the off-season.
  9. DuckDuckGose
    Those projections are based on playing time though Nox. I added this qualifing statement for that reason; I agree that when you take in to account playing time the gap is narrowed quite a bit and when you consider contracts Yunel probably comes out on top as the preferred asset. In the hypothetical scenario in which you are in the WC one game playoff, both are healthy, you can pick one to play for you and the other plays against you, who do you pick? IMO it's Reyes 100 times out of 100.

    You understand people don't value your opinions, right? You understand that you make polls because you are incapable of meaningful, value-added, insightful commentary. Conversing with you is pandering to the lowest common denominator, a plea to forgoing rational thought, a window in to the musings of a fool.
  11. DuckDuckGose
    Why don't you make a poll and find out
  12. DuckDuckGose
    The dip in K's doesn't bode well for Nicolino. I was (as well as more educated individuals) were always concerned Nicolino didn't have the swing and miss stuff to be a high end SP in the MLB. He's gotten through the minors by keeping batters off speed and using great command. It will get harder and harder to succeed on command and confusion as he moves up the ladder. Nicolino can (and IMO will) have a decent career as a backend starter with his current stuff but, to fully live up to the big 3 hype he's going to have to develop a true out pitch.
  13. DuckDuckGose
    I have a really hard time believing the Braves will let McCann walk. If so that's my target, pay the man. Ruiz is the value guy that should be on the market I'd be targeting early.
  14. DuckDuckGose
    Looks like they need another top end guy.... Stroman, Hutch, Rogers, Nolin, Romero as depth.
  15. DuckDuckGose
    Good point. Perhaps being forced to creatively add talent will bring out the best of AA, like it did early in his tenure.
  16. DuckDuckGose
    Russel Martin got a $7M AAV contract, that's around what I expect the Jays to spend this off-season. McCann should get way more than that, Ruiz probably a couple M more.
  17. DuckDuckGose
    Biting? Wasn't a troll post. AA needed to make upgrades to contend. The value moves were great at the time and brought in much needed assets. However, at some point you have to add elite talent to win. That is what AA rightly attempted to do, I don't think he went about it the right way but, if the plan was to win the core wasn't good enough and he needed to make moves.
  18. DuckDuckGose
    Have to remember that all MLB'ers are on strengthening programs. The Jamie Evans' one looks great so far but, it's not the only one out there.
  19. DuckDuckGose
    Talk he could be ready by late August/early September. Biggest thing to look for is his pitch count, he wont be with the Jays until he is regularly over 100 pitches and performing well.
  20. DuckDuckGose
    For all those thanking Dinger you should all check out the prospects sub-forum. The Hutch watch was on last night. With a few guys making rehab appearances/getting healthy/moving up the system it's bringing some excitement back in to the threads. You are obviously all interested and more participation would be welcomed!
  21. DuckDuckGose
    I imagine the gun was a little juiced. 94mph-95mph seems more likely but, lately it seems a if lots of guys gain arm strength after TJS, so who knows?
  22. DuckDuckGose
    One of the few teams that could be interested in a JJ + Boni package.
  23. DuckDuckGose
    C has to be the easiest and largest upgrade to make this off-season. JPA is terrible, his playing time is beyond comprehension. Russel Martin should be a Blue Jay.
  24. DuckDuckGose
    Hit 97mph (on what we assume was the in-stadium gun) too.
  25. DuckDuckGose
    Can't win a championship with a team of the Yunel's/Rasmus'/Morrow's of the world. Need to replace some of those value players with elite talent at some point.
