http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/mlb/losing-jake-the-amazing-life-and-tragic-death-of-a-young-blue-jays-prospect Story about former prospect Jake Eliopoulos I knew he went into a funk but I didn't realize he killed himself

Sparkman we are getting a free look at. I know odds are against him but this FO is determined to build a solid farm, and to have a free look at a possible young asset why not?? They are gonna give him a long look. Last year at this time I'm sure you were saying Biagini was not a serviceable option as well. Chances are stacked against him but Lets have a look before we rule him out.

Its nice when our farm is getting some love

LOL I didn't know that. I meant to put this in Around baseball thread...sorry

Here is a great article from Ryan Dennick on his travel issues and major league debut from a rookie perspective, Great read!! http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/02/travel-delays-candy-bags-and-the-sixth-inning.html

Odds are always against the Rule V draft pick not only making the team, but sticking with them the entire year. Let alone being any type of impact player. But I think a few things are working in Sparkmans favour here. A) The team has just went through this experience and came out absolutely pleased with their new asset. If you are gonna carry a guy, the pen is probably the best spot to carry him as you can have him come in during blowouts and other lower profile innings. C) The team selected Sparkman using the same method they selected Biagini with and they are confident they have another diamond in the rough. With some of the more higher profile players exposed in the draft, Sparkman was THEE guy the Jays had tabbed as theirs from the start.....so they say. D) This new FO is determined to build the farm in utilizing all the options available. Rule V is basically a free look at someone elses prospect. Sparkman had worked his way up to double-A as a 23-year-old after a pair of excellent seasons in rookie ball and high-A ....Then Tommy John surgery caused him to miss 2015 season....came back last year... not great numbers but Jays were satisfied enough and I think Royals felt they could sneak him through. This is a low cost look at a young asset .....take all the time you want .....He could be a Gem!!

Sure why not?? Minor league deals are awesome

why are we talkin about s***** hockey on a fabulous baseball site within 2 weeks of SPRING TRAINING

Last years spring training video on smith

said no-one ever

Tepera please

I would have thought he would get a MLB contract.

Atlanta FO showing they are ok with Dickey but not his sidekick

I got it....I was trying to think of another k

I think it would be a sadder day if he was walking back up to the plate

Happy to have Bautista back but my favourite part about this deal is it seems all Jay Bruce rumours have disappeared!

What happened to our insider.....

Are you sure he wakes up early because maybe he has been up all night reading bjmb looking for headlines

Wouldn't it be faster to tweet than do stream??

2016 first half Saunders will be missed....2nd half..."don't let the door hit u on the way out!"

I thought I read that our budget could be 165....

I'll be ok with this...1 year plus club option

umm....Glenn Sparkman
