    Do you remember Brett Lawrie? WTF is wrong with you?

    Everyone would love the trade if SWR was ranked top 50 and Kay was ranked top 75 on various internet prospect lists (either at the start of the 2019 season, or currently). Obviously the best thing that could happen would be for SWR to go from unranked to top 65 to top 25 next year like Pearson did this year. If he stays healthy, continues to dominate and ages (thus reducing risk) - that's not completely unrealistic (it's unlikely though). As Hurl said, if he was in the 2019 draft, SWR would have been a top 10 draft pick.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lucas-giolitos-rough-july-was-just-a-blip/ This gives me some outside hope there's still a chance Sanchez becomes a quality pitcher. Go reinvent yourself young man.

    Yikes - this notion went south in a hurry.

    who are you kidding?

    How would you like to be that guy? He produces in every single level he plays at (lowest wRC+ was 124 in 2014 in A ball) and the Rockies give you all of 19 PA's. f*** THEM. It's too bad he's been s*** for the Jays.

    I agree with everything you said - except the racism part. WTF man? There's a prime example of what's wrong with society these days.

    Wander Franco's numbers in A+ are unreal. 13.4 BB%, 5.4 K%

    Man - I still remember when Bubba Starling was drafted 5th overall. It was probably the wicked name, but the draft show made it sound like he was going to be awesome. I followed him for a couple of years before it was apparent he sucked at baseball.

    That's a fair take. Galvis seems like the type of guy who wants and expects to start....he always has and frankly he's good enough to start at the ML level. That's unfortunate for the Jays, as apparently he's a great leader and he would be an amazing utility infielder to help mentor Biggio, Bo & Vlad.

    Touche. He's a prime example of why they always say there's absolutely nothing wrong with a minor league deal with an invite to camp.....ever once in awhile, you land a Sogard.

    You've been an ignorant **** all day man. Kay over Borucki and SWR over Pardinho is a pretty common opinion.

    Did you click on it? Don't be a dick. "We serve the homeless in St Pete and encourage others to “Serve how you can”"
  14. Brownie19
    Percentage wise.....what are the chances that Bo finishes his career with more WAR than Vlady? I'll go with 35%. Premium defensive position and good base running certainly give him a good shot IMO.

    Agreed...it's a pretty awesome trade environment for a young team built around positional prospects, who, in a couple of years (when we optimize our win curve), may need to acquire a couple of starting pitchers to compete. I'm a bit confused on why people are so surprised. I think in general - teams value prospects higher than they ever have before. Contending teams seem to be able to acquire proven ML talent cheaper than ever before....whether thru trade or through free agency. I know it's super frustrating to be a couple of years away from contending, but when the new 'core' is ready, it's easier than ever to go out and fill holes with quality players. In the meantime, we build up the farm system so we have the currency to take advantage of the weak market (let's just hope the weak market continues!)

    There's a possibility the Jays don't want Giles pitching much before the deadline and Montoyo is just telling the media he's "not 100%" to as the smoke and mirror excuse on why he isn't using him. In highsight - not the best use of words....although I highly doubt that effects his value. There's a simple discussion with the other GM to day "oh f***, Giles is fine, we just didn't want to risk injury before the trade deadline. Charlie's a nice guy, but he's not too smart. He just made that up to justify why he didn't bring him into a game because some dumb ass casual fans are still all over him every time we lose - when it's obviously we're tanking."

    Well Hurl said he would have been a top 10 pick in the draft this year. Most of us are really used to trading vets for draft picks during a rebuild. Stroman for Kay and a top 10 draft pick doesn't sound so bad Honestly though - most of us are upset because we didn't get someone ranked in the top 50 of some website's top 100 list. Those lists and the valuation of prospects can change rapidly (see Pearson, Nate).
  18. Brownie19
    dude....your sentences include: "I think what happened" "They probably offered" "I think we got" "we definitely didn't get fair market" "other GMs in on Giles will probably feel"
  19. Brownie19
    He was at about 0.7 WAR like 2 weeks ago.
  20. Brownie19
    That reminds me - sliced bread is f***ing awesome. No crumbs.
  21. Brownie19
    Man - that's a s*** ton of assumptions.
  22. Brownie19
    Point being? Speaking of sucking - Pillar's down to 0.1 WAR on the season
  23. Brownie19
    What's so hard with both you guys acknowledging you know next to nothing about this situation, avoiding a strong opinion and keeping an open mind? This s*** is why our voting system doesn't work.
  24. Brownie19
    If you're expecting this all to get leaked, then maybe giv'er 48 hours?
  25. Brownie19
    Sorry - no I wouldn't be. I understand that teams value players differently and that teams are on different win curves, which effects their valuations.
