What makes you say that Conine is "treading water" or that its hard to get excited about him? Its legit 1st round tools and he's hitting in Vancouver (129 wRC+, .234 ISO). The strikeouts aren't going to disappear overnight but he hasn't even been that terrible in that regard either with a 26.6% K rate.

Troy Tulowitzki will meet with the media 7pm Oakland
metafour replied to Angrioter's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He also earned the bare minimum torment for being a useless sack of s*** that $60 million buys. Fair trade. -
Santiago Espinal promoted to AA. Starting at 2B tonight.
-
Brad Hand has three years of control left (two more cheap years plus a team option) and they also gave up a kid with a 1.1 WAR to date who has five years of control as well. Its not really comparable.
-
"#1 potential" is something that is shown at the MLB level, not at 17 years old. So no, at this point he doesn't have "#1 potential".
-
The team isn't contending next season and he's a 36 year old reliever. Team option means his value is greater than that of just a rental. His value will never be higher, and he has no long-term use for our team, ergo NOT trading him would be absolutely ridiculous, especially considering that he's pitching on a "high streak" heading into the deadline.
-
Liriano can hit a high and basically pitch at an elite level at any point in time. Loup is Loup: completely forgettable. That is the difference.
-
How does Oh not make that list? His value is much greater than Clippard's. Do some of you not realize that he's up to 0.8 WAR, has been pitching at an elite level for nearly a month now (2 ER in his last 18 appearances?), and has a super-friendly team option for next season? He should be the first dude out after Happ.

Read the recent reports, bro. Even his own organization (Cleveland) wasn't impressed with him behind the plate.
-
No, his receiving is a question mark.
-
I mean, I think the article found some level of proof. Since most guys who get TJ are in their mid/late 20's they typically don't last long enough to test the "10 year rule" anyway. Guys like Osuna who had it super young will definitely be interesting case studies because he should still be in his prime at the 10-year mark given that he was what? 18 or 19 when he had the procedure done?
-
Its been a theory that has been proposed.
-
They traded Mejia!
-
Those guys (deGrom, Archer, etc) are harder to trade because the asking price has to actually line up. Just because Philly for instance would prefer to go "all in" for deGrom, it doesn't mean that the Mets will want what they have in their system, especially considering the asking price will be huge. deGrom, Archer, Syndergaard won't be dealt "just because", so in reality only a handful of teams can actually put together those packages, and they also have to WANT to unload their systems to do so. The Yankees can do it, but does it look like they want to give up the prospects it would actually take? Not really. Its a lot more complicated than "oh you're asking too much for Happ, we'll just add a bit more and get deGrom".
-
They got Zeuch, Bichette, and Biggio in their first draft. Pearson and Kevin Smith in their second. That is 5 of our ~Top 12-15 prospects in a strong farm system. Lots of interesting post-10th round players too (Chavez Young, Noda, Abbadessa, DJ Neal, Schneider, etc, etc). This past draft looks potentially elite with Groshans (huge hype building), Conine (elite tools and mashing), and Kloffenstein (potential 1st round talent). With no extra picks we very realistically landed 3 first round talents in this last draft, which is absolutely elite execution. I think that you are reaching big time. What, because Biggio and Smith came from College they were bad picks? D.J. Daniels went a round after Biggio as a high schooler and signed for the same dollar amount...who? Exactly.
-
They've had two "college heavy" drafts to balance out the mid-upper levels of the system which were barren when they got here, and even in those drafts they used 2nd round picks on HS players. There was absolutely nothing "college heavy" about this last draft, unless you want to count spending 73% of your TOTAL pool on two HS players as somehow being "college heavy".
-
Why the hell would he take the qualifying offer LMAO? He gets $30+ million easily on a two year deal, which for a guy who's about to turn 36 in ~3 months is a no-brainer.
-
He looked dominant tonight until a terrible error and a bunch of poorly hit balls landed in the perfect spots to extend at-bats or dribble in for base hits. He then gave up a HR on like the 50th pitch of the inning, which is about what you should expect with any pitcher on the mound. Luckily for us MLB teams do actual scouting, they don't trade precious assets on the premise of looking at box scores. His value isn't going to be shot because Eduardo Nunez hit a seeing-eye single off him.
-
I don't get the Stroman/Romero comparison at all. Romero would go on wild streaks wherein he couldn't even hit the strike zone, when he "fell apart" his walk rates were brutal. If anything, Stroman's issue is often throwing too many strikes ("pitching to contact").
-
Travolta starred in Pulp Fiction the same year Forrest Gump came out. If he was actually offered the role, that would likely be why he turned it down.
-
He's a real prospect now. Have you been under a rock these past few months or something?
-
Remember when Bickford was telling everyone that he wanted like $4.5 million and we drafted him anyway, only to offer him something like less than $3 million LOL? At this point this s*** can't just keep being a coincidence. It's as if he thinks he can seriously strong arm these kids into signing for below slot. We also missed on Singer because of some phantom injury that didn't even prevent him from dominating as a true Freshman at Florida.
-
Alex Anthopolous is at it again; it doesn't look like Carter Stewart is signing lmao.
-
Bichette and Jansen are going to the Future's Game.
