    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-next-prospects-who-could-pull-a-glasnow/ Perez and Zeuch both mentioned as potentials...

    Say what you will - but I still love having Martin on this team. That signing has worked out about as well as you could expect. He was a rock in our lineup when we made our push and when it's all said and done, he'll provide surplus value. Even during his declining years (where were expected), he remains a good clubhouse guy, a leader and now a mentor to Jansen. He may be one of the Blue Jays best FA signings ever.

    It doesn't help the SI article refers to it as a 'tear' and not a 'sprain'

    I tend to agree, although I would be interested to see if the league makes the necessary adjustments to him at the plate. Puig looked like he was a 150 wRC+ hitter his first 2 years too and now he's settled into a 1.5 - 3 WAR player. Ohtani was never expected to be "this good" with the bat so there's risk he'd end up being an average OFer instead of an ace pitcher. There's no denying he's a f***ing stud on the mound. It's an incredible problem to have.

    His walk rate has basically doubled this year as well. wRC+ up to 104 and holding his own in the power department (7 hr, 7 triples, 27 doubles). It appears it's just the BABIP gods who are depressing what has otherwise been a very strong developmental season for Samad Taylor. For a kid who just turned 20 last month - he's an exciting prospect to follow.

    I'm a bit surprised they aren't taking the cautious route. It's really impressive to see Ohtani's still posting a 140 wRC+.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/jackie-bradley-jr-and-the-error-rule/ What do you guys think about errors? I will admit when I watch the JBJ play - it looks like an error and I have a hard time believing that ball is caught only 1 in 16 times at the ML level.

    Is Acuna's long term position LF?
  9. Brownie19
    His base running and defensive value, coupled with his good plate discipline and contact skills certainly give him a fighting chance (then again - the same could have been said for Ellsbury). This is his age 26 season. He probably needs to average 5 WAR per year over the next 10 to reach 70 WAR. That should get him in. If he can stay in the 6-8 WAR range for the next 3 years (27 - 29) he'll have a good chance.

    Giles looked nasty tonight. Gotta feel great for Jansen. How awesome would it be to see this guy develop into a good, young starting catcher?
  11. Brownie19
    His wRC+ since returning from injury is like 210 or something (before tonight's game).

    IIRC - there was also some glimmer of hope that Ray Searage could turn Hutch's once promising career around. Ray couldn't.

    Here's a report from fangraph's on Touki and SRF https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/quick-look-toussaint-and-reid-foley/

    What did I start....but I mean if it's good enough for JD, it's good enough for me.

    Need another pizza day.

    That's my kinda doll.

    And maybe lay off the Jackie Redmond....speaking of which - did everyone see her new assets?
  19. Brownie19
    I don't think you should get caught up in what Jeff Blair and Steve Simmons think the Jays should do. Almost every reporter is just making s*** up to fill their time/column.
  20. Brownie19
    holy f*** that guys giblets...
  21. Brownie19
    Does he even get on a bus? He isn't making a start in AAA.
  22. Brownie19
    That team looks awful (not like that will be our 2019 opening day roster anyway)
  23. Brownie19
    I guess - but it's a good strategy that gives the team a better chance at winning. You should be able to avoid this situation with strong communication and a commitment to add the $20K onto his next contract or something.

    Interesting article from Fangraphs about hitting with backspin v. hitting it square. https://www.fangraphs.com/community/should-players-hit-with-backspin-the-data-might-surprise-you/

    Vlad was ranked 18th in MLB in value by Fangraphs. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-trade-value-11-to-20/ Lindor and Ramirez were #1 and #2.
