bad contract, were still not good enough to contend...

Well he was chosen as an all star so thats some recognition and really other GMs will take notice of EEs wicked K/BB ratio stats like that are hard to be fluked because its a measure of discipline which remains relatively stable (Hes only reached 100ks once in in his career in 2007). I think EE is legit and the only decline I expect is the one that naturally comes with age. That being said I trade him now and JB for the moon because we DO NOT have a team that can legitimately compete in the AL east never-mind the world series.

this forum is a joke its infested with rude, arrogant, immature people who dont know how to properly speak to another individual and the mods here seem to be fine with it. I will move on to another one this is my last comment. Enjoy your pathetic lives boys ! Cheers !

I literally have no idea wtf you are talking about...I thought this forum was only for baseball talk, you obviously have some problems bro but dont tell em to me I dont get paid for it like your psychiatrist.

Do you have mental problems ? People like you shouldnt be allowed to procreate ugh sickening.

A bit of both yes I agree with this.

Which stat did I make up ? I didnt say a stat about another team. My point was that other teams have more quality homegrown talent than the jays.

I think the people who are currently working in player coordination and scouting for the jays have the same mindset as you, not a compliment btw.

well you guys must be right because he has been so successful in translating his amazing 163 wRC+ from a whaat 63 game sample in the minors ? Also it WASNT easily corrected not when he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again....

Ivan Nova and Cano before he got traded.

Doesnt change the fact that he didnt know fundamental baseball, how many times did he try to steal 3rd with 2 outs ? Mentally he was not ready.

we all know the PCL inflates numbers, the same can be said for travis snider. I would have liked to see him play atleast a full season down there maybe he would've learned when to and not to steal 3rd smh.

Dare I say I think Brett Lawrie could have benefited from being left in the minors a while longer when he was 21.

Yes good point, or they will end up calling them up too early in the development process, just like how they messed up Travis Snider.

We havent traded our top prospects as much in the past, we kept them and they were all busts its baffling how bad this team was in draft selection, we need to improve our scouting as well. This regime under AA is the one that focuses on trading away all our top prospects, and we wont know if Syndergaard, D'arnaud etc will be become stars yet because its too early to tell but as I said they have higher success rates IMO.
