    Has there been any discussion as to why OSU gave him a chance? MLB teams are obviously worried about the PR nightmare surrounding this kid - but OSU gave him a shot - seemingly with no major issues. Personally, I have no idea what the right answer is, but I am surprised that some team didn't use this as an opportunity to simply state they believe in rehabilitation and second chances and are willing to give the kid a shot. They will give him some additional help, monitor him closely and have told him they'll give him a shot - but that he has a very short leash. If he f***s up - he's gone.

    https://www.mlb.com/news/creativity-was-key-in-torontos-draft-strategy/c-280085920 I also saw an article on MLB.com that said that Jays had the 2nd best Day 2 in the draft.

    I read he tried to hit everything in the air this spring, which resulted in some big holes in his swing. It's an interesting take as it sounds like with some adjustments, he could be a steal.

    Jays take Nick Podkul in the 7th The Notre Dame second baseman hit .312 with a .433 on-base percentage and .525 slugging percentage this year -- leading the Fighting Irish in all three slash line categories -- while adding eight home runs and nine stolen bases in 11 tries. Podkul doesn't wow you with his tools, but he's hit in the ACC, he has a good feel for the game, and he's a solid defender.

    I read that he's toned down the leg kick / timing mechanism so far this year with much stronger results. I agreed with NJH - his timing / balance looks off a lot in that youtube video.

    Jesus - he almost fell to us in the 4th! How awesome would that have been?

    ask and you shall receive.

    I don't know if I'd call you a prospects guy personally...

    You mean like Wright, OG, Poeltl and Siakam?????

    Gilbert sounds a lot like T.J. Zeuch to me.
  11. Brownie19
    yes.
  12. Brownie19
    pssst. It was a joke.

    Based on the 'future' core of Vlad, Bo, Alford, Gurriel, Jansen, Pearson, Zeuch, Borucki, Stro, etc. - do you guys subscribe to the theory that we should target a collegiate player so they can "arrive" at about the same time as this core? (v. selecting a HS player who's going to be 5 or 6 years away)

    https://www.mlb.com/news/mock-draft-for-first-round-of-2018-mlb-draft/c-279699234 I like this mock. Callis has us with Swaggerty, while both Callis and Mayo have Kelenic going #13 to the Marlins. Sign me up for Swaggs or Kelenic all day long.

    WTF man - nobody cares. Move on.

    What the F else could he be doing???
  17. Brownie19

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/ben-wagner-on-replacing-a-legend-in-the-blue-jays-radio-booth/ article on Wagner taking over for Jerry. I think Wagner and Wilner have done a great job fwiw.

    What f***ing piece of s***. I hope unthinkable things happen to him.

    I'm told Diaz and Grichuk have been recalled. Not sure who's going down.
  22. Brownie19
    Yes it does. This is a common misconception and we've been through this a few times now (although I'm pretty sure Bones still thinks this as well). I too was confused on the matter. April 2019 it is!
  23. Brownie19
    That one went over your head Spank!

    Why would anyone complain about that formatting?
