    Madani is fricken massive.

    I'm not trying to say Smoak is good.. I think they need an upgrade in LF to play Pearce at 1B. Just that Upton is complete dog s***. Sure he had a 101 wRC+ in 2015 but it was in 144PA and he had a 5.6% BB rate 27.8% K rate and .353 BABIP which is obviously unsustainable. The other 3 years he was crap over a sample of 300PA or more so that is why you use the combined stats over those years instead of just looking at yearly splits. I would sit Smoak vs pitchers with good breaking balls as its clear he struggles with them but he's a pretty good option vs more of a fastball-changeup pitcher. He at least has a good batted ball profile which is probably why the Jays FO likes him.

    I wouldn't. Upton has a 74 wRC+ over the last 4 years which makes him complete garbage. Smoak has a 111 wRC+ over that same time period. Unless Upton was a Pillar like defender in LF that is not worth the loss in offence.
  4. burlingtonbandit
    Yeah if you think he is a 160wRC+ bat it won't matter but was just thinking of the last time a 1B prospect went that high in the draft.

    Looking through the other teams projections and seems a lot of teams even the ones behind Toronto have relievers projected to be better than that 2-6 group. Seems like those guys are more of a dime/dozen. I like Grilli quite a bit but he's getting to be pretty damn old.
  6. burlingtonbandit
    Is Seth Beer considered to be an average corner OF or is he only a 1B prospect?
  7. burlingtonbandit
    Think the rotation should be a little higher but the depth is pretty bad. Liriano's projection in particular seems pretty low. When you compare the bullpen to other teams especially contenders it looks pretty bad. Osuna is really their only great reliever and his velo is down this spring with back issues.

    Sleeper: Josh Palacios Bust: Max Pentecost New Legit Guy: Bo Bichette

    I guess Morales has been crap at 1st base in workouts because they say he would get a string of playing time there to see what he can do but literally hasn't played the field once unless I'm missing something?
  10. burlingtonbandit
    vs LHP yes.. Not so much against RHP.
  11. burlingtonbandit
    Batted profile was basically the same last year as it was in 2011 in terms of LD/GB/FB, LF/CF/RF and hard hit %. Its the BB/K that have gone to s***.
  12. burlingtonbandit
    wat? Its in a team's best interest to have the best coaches teaching their players. Nothing to do about money.
  13. burlingtonbandit
    Even if he did hire a swing coach and changed his swing he still probably won't succeed. Pillar and Goins worked with Bobby Tewksbary last offseason and they didn't get any better. Anyways it should be the organizations themselves that hire better f***ing coaches. Why should a player have to go out and hire his own swing coach while the org. employs coaches teaching the wrong technique? Edit: Even Lawrie last year turned 10% of his contact from groundballs to flyballs and still wasn't good.
  14. burlingtonbandit
    Velo is down and he's walked more than he's struck out. I'd say thats a little concerning especially when you hear that he doesn't have the same life on his sinker.
  15. burlingtonbandit
    Sanchez struggling again. He's been really bad this spring.
  16. burlingtonbandit
    I don't even see an available video stream on MLBtv..
  17. burlingtonbandit
    I doubt Shapiro is involved with the signing of players. Even Atkins probably doesn't do much, maybe a couple trips for some of the bigger names but they basically set the foundation and framework while the scouts are the guys signing these players.
  18. burlingtonbandit
    He should.
  19. burlingtonbandit
    Id be fine with Martin hitting leadoff but don't want him hitting second. Donaldson should be hitting 2nd with Morales/Bautista/Pearce/Tulo behind them.
  20. burlingtonbandit
    Sounds like the Jays had a nice signing class. Basically get all these guys to sign and get them into a workout program with the Sports Science team and watch them develop. For a lot of these guys they haven't been trained that well so they can take off when they have proper instruction.
  21. burlingtonbandit
    Sounds like he's going to blow through his money faster than Allen Iverson.
  22. burlingtonbandit
    Gibby ran him out for like 50 pitches one game and I don't think he pitched for like a year after that.
  23. burlingtonbandit
    Can't see them making a trade for him. He wouldn't even be getting playing time here.
  24. burlingtonbandit
    Salty's receiving still pretty bad. Noticed he's using Martin's set up but he on the low pitch he brings his glove up but then back down.
  25. burlingtonbandit
    Well there's a comp for a Travis extension. Funny they've put up almost the exact same value in their careers.
