    Meh - great young player. I'd rather see them replacing Moose and Blackmon tbh. Bour too, but he's a hometown guy so whatever.

    The struggle is real for most international FA's. There were some good stories posted here a while back on the matter illustrating challenging it is for 17-18 year old kids who move to a new country, can't speak English and have no idea where, or how to get proper food. It's a lot more complicated when it comes to North American draftees. It's like saying don't give people welfare - get out and get a job you bum. Although there is some logic with it - history has proven this approach isn't overly effective. Are minor league players required to work out together in the gym? I would assume they are on a program for that?

    +1. I've never sat there and said "ahhh - I've seen this one" or "ahhh - I don't like this episode. It's the best.

    I think millennials eat significantly better than most generations. Avocado toast for days. Seriously though - most of them realize how important it is for them to hit the gym and be in top shape if they are going to advance to the show. I don't think it's that much of a stretch to give them some cash for some better food (although some will just go buy more drugs with it).

    Fair point. I'm not suggesting I'm 100% for blowing it up to the bare bones and losing 100 games for 3-4 years. I was just arguing that I don't agree with OP's suggestion that there's nothing to gain from blowing it up. Blow it up, retool - these are all subjective definitions guys. Oh - and I think the Cards run is nearly over. They suck.

    Jake M comes in to play RF, while Reddick moves to CF???? Since when is Reddick better defensively in CF than gorgeous Jake?

    Vlad must have one hell of a bat considering most project him to be playing 1st in the majors.

    How on earth was Alex Wood left off the team originally?

    Someone just said Houston was the most profitable franchise in the league the year they had a $22M payroll and 110 loses.

    very fair argument - although I don't agree with the last line. Blowing it up - if done right with this FO, could lead to sustainable success....in fact, it could accelerate the sustainable success. It's hard not to look at what the Yankees did last year, adding Frazier and G.Torres and not salivate at the core of young talent they have amassed. There is plenty to gain by blowing it up (if done right) - although that may come with some short term pain.

    They are all my favourite. I watch 2 episodes on channel 39 almost every night.
  12. Brownie19
    That's awesome. And now, due to their commitment to sucking (while rolling in the profit), they are in line for sustained success that will generate copious amounts of playoff revenue and possibly a World Series win. It would appear as though someone has it all figured out.
  13. Brownie19
    Correction. What this team needs is a rebuild.
  14. Brownie19
    I would render a guess that most hitters struggle when facing fastballs and sliders with more movement than normal. wRC+ is park adjusted (I believe) and he put up a lot of seasons between 130 and 170 while in Colorado - although that's not to say the confidence/success he had there didn't help his overall numbers.
  15. Brownie19
    Remember when people were hoping the Jays could pry Austin Barnes away from LA? He's been a stud this year. 1.2 WAR in 44 games (122 PA's). 148 wRC+ Him an Grandal are killing it for the Dodgers as a tandem.
  16. Brownie19
    Is his Contract really that bad? He's on pace for 2.6 WAR this year, which would provide surplus value at $20M/year. You can speculate what he'll provide in 2018 and 2019, but he's certainly not a black hole - especially if a playoff team needs a catcher.

    I like the cut of your jib.
  18. Brownie19
    E3.
  19. Brownie19
    Can we trade Jose for Profar now? I guess not b/c of the Texas BS. Too bad.
  20. Brownie19
    You mean like trading G.Torres for a 1/2 year rental reliever?

    Blue Jays prospect Jon Harris threw seven shutout innings on Wednesday for Double-A New Hampshire. Harris gave up three hits, didn't walk anyone and struck out four. It's nice to see him pitch well, as he's struggled for most of the 2017 season (5.53 ERA). Despite having two above-average pitches and two average offerings, he's really struggled to miss bats this year, and the command has lagged at times, as well. The talent is here, but he's going to have to show more starts like this one before you can believe he's even close to being ready to join the Toronto rotation. That's actually one of the first times I read someone suggest that Jon Harris has talent and/or any above average pitches (let alone 2 with 2 more average ones).

    I found it interesting that they rank Tatis Jr. above Bo despite the fact that Bo is severely outperforming him in A ball. Tatis is like 8 months younger, but still.
  23. Brownie19
    sauce?
  24. Brownie19
    I honestly have no idea what you're talking about; nor do I have any idea of who the "cool" group is. I do randomly throw sarcastic comments out though - which apparently you've decided are commonly directed towards a certain type and have decided to consistently attack me for it. That's cool.

    and the REBUILD begins!
