    Yes, he pulled it up "6 inches" LOL.

    3 swinging strikes in that one at-bat for Estrada.... ...4 swinging strikes for the whole game for Stroman last night.

    Angel Perdomo with a game so far for Lansing: 5 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 9 K

    Good one:

    What the hell was that?

    They did use the statistic in positively analyzing the JA Happ signing this past offseason (compared to guys like Leake, Samardzija, Cueto). One of the takeaways they uncovered is that Happ is one of the rare pitcher's who's "stuff" has actually improved with age. So far this season, his "stuff" is actually even better than it was a year ago which may indeed be a sign for further positive expectation from him. He actually ranks second behind Sanchez to date. http://www.mikesonne.ca/baseball/let-it-happ-en/

    Aaron Sanchez ranks 11th in all of MLB among starters (and tops on the Jays) in a newly created "Stuff" metric which looks to quantify the age-old "stuff" term that commentators will routinely throw out. http://www.mikesonne.ca/baseball/who-has-the-best-stuff-in-baseball-volume-1/ I've been stating for a long time that regardless of his raw metrics (strikeouts, walks), Sanchez is a pitcher that will out-perform what he is "expected" to do for the mere fact that predictive formulas cant quantify how hard it is to actually hit his pitches. This new metric is a starting-point which may begin to finally quantify why he's able to minimize runs despite walking batters and not striking out as many as he "should".

    They picked 3 HS pitchers within the first 60 picks last year, one of whom was injured LOL.

    Any player can become an injury problem.

    Assignments are coming through. Alford, Greene, and SRF with conservative placings in Dunedin, Dunedin, and Lansing respectively. Tellez in New Hampshire. Shane Dawson also in New Hampshire. Dan Jansen made Dunedin, as did Tom Robson who I think can make a splash this season now that he's healthy again.

    I got a feeling that we f***ed up...

    He'd been hyped as a potential ~Top 5 pick before his injury. Not sure how you can conclude him as a "pitchability guy" when he had flashed clear plus stuff. Kiley McDaniel:

    Please. He went WELL out of his way to put on his accounting cap to somehow try and bring Rogers' share prices into the forefront as a basis for why the team should have no problem just meeting his demand. That was well beyond stating that he wouldn't take a "hometown discount". It was a calculated attempt at playing fan emotions against ownership for his own gain. You think he doesn't know full well that fan-turmoil has been high after the entire AA and David Price sagas? He was trying to create a shitstorm, point and blank. Unfortunately for him, his demands are so absurd that the whole thing kind of blew up in his face. In reality, he just gave Shapiro an easy out to just letting him walk or trading him. Shapiro has already demonstrated his beliefs on resigning 35+ year old star players to long deals that almost surely won't work out in the team's favour. He probably didn't even want to resign Bautista long-term in the first place, but likely would have settled so as to not rile up the fanbase negatively.

    We drafted Jon Harris with that pick. The jury is still out on that one.

    You think he's the first mid 30's athlete to "take good care of his body"? Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash...there are lots of guys in several sports who looked like they were "defying age" until all of a sudden it hit them like a Mack truck. In most cases the "decline" is extremely sharp: all of a sudden they suck, just like you see now out of 37 year old Kobe Bryant. Bautista's power is largely generated by bat speed, which I seriously doubt he'll be able to maintain.
  19. metafour
    This LOL. 90% of the fanbase doesn't even know who Saunders is. or Bruce for that matter.

    andrew krause ‏@akrausePG Brady Singer's first collegiate inning is of the 1-2-3 variety. Struck out first two. Very qk arm, pounding zone w/ 92-95 FB and 77-79 BB.

    Next time I'll draw a picture for the board retards who can't put two and two together. The f***ing title of the thread alone tells you everything you need to know you dipshit. Do you need me to hold your cock the next time you go take a piss too? If you seriously got "confused" by this thread, then God bless your soul. Gil Kim hired as Director, Player Development (new position)
  22. metafour
    The first line said "he was the Director, International Scouting with the Rangers" ... I mean, with respect to the thread title, what the f*** is there to be confused about?
  23. metafour
  24. metafour
    What is odd about it? There was no official Blue Jays writeup when I was writing the thread so I used a clipping from his promotion with the Rangers to note his baseball history.
  25. metafour
    He was the Director, International Scouting for the Texas Rangers. http://www.diariolibre.com/imagenes/2013/04/280469.jpg
