I just read that the "Official King Kalfus Thread" was being closed by Gsnaris because he thought it wasn't "providing any value any more." The value is that it excited thousands of fans to follow the Blue Jays in the hope for a winning team (for the first time in over 2 Decades!). As mlbprospects said," king - so someone is closing the king kalfus thread? 47,000 viewers and a popular player really worried some blue jays moderators that their threads or favorite players weren't nearly as popular. the blue jays will lose thousands of fans. kal will make it to the mlb and this moderator can get joy in his spread of hate and spend time with his hater friends with his losing team. baseball is fun and kal is a promising young player who has done everything the right way - and his fans will always be there to support him. this toronto blue jays message board is for a moderator to control and dictate what they want said and control who they want saying it. maybe the moderator is from another continent where freedom doesn't exist!" Well said "mlbprospects." Kal brought thousands of fans to the blue jays and to this thread. We will still closely follow kal as he makes his way to the MLB. "Gsnaris" isn't the moderator and controller of the Toronto Blue Jays or its fans! We love baseball, the Toronto Blue Jays and future prospects like Kal!

Has anyone seen Kevin Pillar play this season to see it he changed his swing? He looks like he is struggling at the plate but the season is still young.

Goin Goin Goin to have another last place finish? What do you think? Nice throw? That's the best we have?

Kal was a senior pick out of college in the 23rd round in 2013. WCC batting champion who has won 2 championship rings in the last 3 years (1 in college and 1 with Vancouver), Captial-One All American in 2013, and All-star starter for Vancouver in short season following the draft. Like Jacoby Ellsbury who was drafted in the 23rd round, Kal can flat out hit to all fields from both sides of the plate. Drafte picks can sometimes become a core of a championship team and Kal looks to become one of a new core coming up to Toronto!

C.C.Sabathia also lost a lot of weight. His velocity is also down to 88 on his fastball. I agree with you in that control and command are most important.

I can't see it either. Miss the old avatar "King."

Solid response. Go Blue Jays and away with the hate!

Seriously?

Time for some BKal in the outfield for the Jays. He led the conference in outfield assists from right field every year he played and let the Canadians in short season.

Agreed! Lets not trade our talent like we did when we traded then unknown Michael young from our farm system for Estaban Loaiza. Young went on to have a .300 career ave. as well as be a 7 time All-Star.

BKal won a ring in college while in Bethesda. His team ranked above all Cape Cod teams for the first time in the team or leagues history. And now he helps with a historic 3-peat. BKal is a winner!

I agree "King." Kinsler would have been great for the Jays. He was an 17th round pick out of college, is a three time All-Star and he was just traded to the tigers for Prince Fielder. In college, he transferred to ASU his soph year but sat on the bench. Transfered to a 3rd college and was drafted in the 17th at 21y/o. He reminds me of what Brenden Kalfus will be for the Blue Jays. They are similar in size yet kalfus is a switch hitter.

"King" have you heard any news about when the minor leagues will be reporting to spring training? Those were great posts on Kalfus hitting on the other thread. The Blue Jays have some really solid prospects coming up.

And when we are on the top of the American League east with a title, and Kalfus is part of our core line-up, we can remember when you started it all "king." From college batting champion to MLB All-Star. Go Kal-El!

Go BKal. He will help get us to the Playoffs soon.
