Monotoyoball just took out Anderson

That was ridiculous

Great play by Aaron/Galvis

If we can extend Stroman now, what’s the number?

They can definitely afford it. We have almost no long term payroll commitments aside from Grichuk and Gurriel. And asssuming Rogers will bump payroll when we are good again that’s a lot of dough to work with.

I would do 2/16M for Smoak with a buyout / team option. But he could get better in the open market, maybe 2 or 3 years guaranteed. But do we really need Smoak in 2020-2021? We’re not short on guys that can man first base: Vlad, Tellez, McKinney, Biggio, Gurriel, maybe even Drury? Teoscar?

Right now, no I wouldn’t either. The speculation was based on what if he could repeat 2016 in 2019 & his finger issues are behind him. If Ross has an opportunity to extend him @ winter, under those circumstances, should it be considered? Because if the org has no intentions to extend him, Sanchez should be trade bait. The poll is out of context. It should be “Would you give Aaron Sanchez 5/$60M if he stays healthy and performs like 2016.” What else could you buy in FA with $12 million per that isn’t age 30++? Find me a no. 2-3 starter willing to sign that contract that isn’t named Madison Bumgarner and is willing to come to Toronto. If 2016 Sanchez is what you’re getting at age 26, 5/$60M might be worth considering as it covers his age 31/32 season. But like I stated before, this is a long shot and he’ll likely go free agency instead.

Hey guys, I really appreciate it. I’m just bored on my days off and spend time looking up numbers and watching Jays prospects. Thought I’d share some tidbits. And if even one person finds them interesting I guess it’s worth sharing.

I’m still a bit unsure about Sanchez on a 5 year deal. If he can stay healthy for a full season and pitch at minimum like a no. 3 starter, then I would do 5/$60M. It’s a bit of a tall order though, he’s been A) healthy, good, for a full season only once in his career.. and even that year his finger was questionable. With the way Boris milks his cash cows, he’s more likely to reach free agency and pray for a bidding war. But an extension could happen.

And.. Aaron Judge exits game with oblique injury. Their injured list can field an A ball rehab roster.

Been looking through the realistic outfield prospects we could nab at #11. https://d1baseball.com/position-power-rankings/week-6-power-rankings-outfield-2/ Hunter Bishop really broke through into a class of his own in the college scene. At least for this season no other outfielder comes close to his numbers. You’ll have to buy into his adjustments this year though if you take him as a top 10 pick.. his OPS went from .847 to .759 to 1.358 from 2017 to 2019, while cutting his K rate almost by half and doubling his walk rate. Chances are he’s having a flukey unbelievable season or his adjustments are real. But either way, Bishop seems out of reach for our pick. Can’t pinpoint where, but likely will be in the top 8. JJ Bleday seems like a legit corner outfield bat with an above average arm, just below the Bishop tier and maybe about the same tier as Kameron Misner (though his stock as fallen slightly). Certainly his batting numbers are more consistent than Kameron Misner, but Misner has a higher ceiling—potential CF, above average run tool, can steal bases. In contrast, Bledday is a pure bat and still has untapped raw power. Bledday (6’3, 205 L/L) is slashing .361./.462/.762, 1.224 with 17 HR in 38 games and walks equal to strikeouts. He also has a track record of hitting in both the SEC and Cape Cod League. This seems like a potentially good pick for us if we decide not to go for another middle infield guy. There’s also some intriguing prep arms but I’m a bit cringy about going that route.. and we could really use a real bluechip outfield prospect. Last year we front-loaded on position prospects early rounds and heavy-backloaded pitching prospects past round 2. This is not a bad approach and they could do it again this year. There’s just so much volatility with arms especially prep ones. Edit: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1&type=0&pageitems=10000000000000&pagenum=0 fangraphs just updated their draft board. Welp.

How is Andrew doing? I hear gonorrhea can be quite uncomfortable. Any episode next week?

This is from April 19, 2019 game against Dayton

Doubtful.. maybe when he was drafted. Dude is like a defensive lineman. Vlad was listed 6’1 200lbs till he was measured in spring 6’2 250lbs

Would not mind extending Smoak another 2 years. But I’m really not worried about first base. At worst, even if Tellez doesn’t stick.. McKinney, Biggio, and Gurriel could spot there until Vlad does. Extending Stroman would be interesting.

6’2 250lbs vs 5’9 250lbs. But Kirk is surprisingly fast for a guy that size.

With half the Yankees roster living on stretchers and Red Sox imploding, we might actually be a .500 ball club if you add those two. Granted our pitching holds up. Unfortunately chances of people getting dealt in July is quite high, the “names to be flipped for prospects” list is a long one.

Kirk seems to be legit, he’s also putting up Vladdy-esque level strikeout/walk type ratios. I’m already excited about them but others want a bigger sample size. We’re talking about 20 year old kids in their first full season ball, it’s bloody impressive. Would not be surprised if they shuttle to Dunedin for the second half. Don’t sleep on Riley Adams either. Him and Cullen Large have put on a hitting clinic up in Dunedin to start the season.

All of the above. Actually I like my tacos with hard shell. Enchiladas are also amazing.

He'll feast on the mound

Me encantan los tacos

I’m still unclear that the acquired bonus pool money is for 2018 signing or 2019 J2 signing. Would be nice to get some confirmation? I remember they signed a kid a month back but he wasn’t a hotshot prospect. Not sure where the rest of the money is going to. They’re being surprisingly tight-lipped about this year’s J2 prospects considering most guys are committed to a certain team months (even a year) ahead of the signing period.

@Spanky Groshans is actually scouted to have 60 hit and 60 power tools with average/above average fielding/arm/run tools across the board. If his Lansing production is not a fluke, we can expect him to propel up the rankings. Not exactly saying he’s in the calibur of a Nick Senzel or Royce Lewis, but Groshans tools are on par or just below those guys as graded by BA, and he’s only 19. Also when I looked at redrafts for 2018, scouts have put serious considerations to Nolan Gorman and Jordan Groshans as top 5 picks of 2018. Atkins did pretty well with this pick. Not surprised Nate and Bo are that high in this mock, but Kevin Smith is a little suprising. Maybe they wanted to drive home a point that he’s underrated, but a top 30 prospect I’m not sure yet. His AA numbers are decent but not groundbreaking.
