  1. Luke Weaver seems significantly more appealing to me than Reyes. A year older, but he throws a lot more strikes, while still posting K/9 ratios >10. The rest of their system is awful though. Flaherty is fine, but I'd hate to build the trade around 2 pitchers. Harry Bader and O'Neill strike out way too much and we don't need another catcher in Carson Kelly. Weaver, Gyorko + Wong for JD?
  2. Is Reyes even that good? His BB/9 has been about 4.5 in every single season and stop he's made and is now coming off a lost season. Low GB%. I mean if we're trading JD to the Cards, he's the guy you want, but I'm not sold. He has a ton of similarities to Matt Moore.
  3. How's the AAA rule 5 work? Do we just have to keep them in AAA all year?
  4. Our very own Ohtani!!!
  5. Apparently Nick Burdi is being traded.
  6. He may soon be touring Canada, promoting ketchup chips with Lawrie if you're looking for him.
  7. Joe Smith was elite last year
  8. No I'd trade Bo for Yelich. I meant I somewhat doubt Blair has may idea if the FO is actually that open to trading Bo and this random thought that some question his power at the next level. Just sounds like BS that Blair made up
  9. I struggle to see how you think the Marlins have improved greatly.
  10. Really? I'll admit I don't know much about him, but he put up pedestrian FIP, xFIP, BB/K in AA last year. I mean he averaged 98 MPH with the heater in the majors last year, but he seems more Conner Greene than Nate Pearson to me.
  11. FWIW, Blair said tonight on Bobcat's show that: 1. The Jays are heavily in on CC. He expects CC to sign with the Yanks or the Jays. CC and Shapiro are close and the Jays believe they need someone to mentor Stroman to tone down the douche. 2. He gets the impression the Jays are open to trading Bo Bichette and that some in the organization question how his power will translate. He said the Jays would have to give up Bo + for Yelich. 3. He gets the impression the Jays aren't shopping JD. He'll be a Blue Jay this year - only flipped at the deadline if we aren't in the race. I hate Jeff Blair, but there you go. #1 + #3 seems realistic, #2, not so much.
  12. The best part is my 7 year old just asked for a Marlin's hat for Christmas (which we ordered). I have no idea why he wanted it (he also asked for a Houston Astros's WS championship hat). He may now be their only fan.
  13. When will your Top 147 Blue Jays Prospect List be available?
  14. Yelich is like Hosmer in that a swing adjustment may make him even more valuable. He still hits 55% of balls into the ground - making it all the more impressive he's able to provide 4.5 WAR a year. I'd give up Bo or Pearson if needed to get him without a second thought.
  15. Although there's a strong possibility this trade reflects the inability of the Marlin's FO to properly valuing assets.....I think there's also a chance that people around baseball do not believe last year was a true reflection of Ozuna's abilities. If most see him closer to the 2 WAR player he was in 2015 + 2016, then this return makes a lot more sense.
  16. Who's this guy impersonating Todd?
  17. A's are getting Steven Piscotty it looks like.
  18. The reality is Mark Shapiro is the President and CEO of the Blue Jays. His job responsibilities include more than simply building a world series team. You can choose to ignore that (and pretend it is an intellectual exercise with no fans) - but it's true. We don't know if Rogers is meddling or if Mark simply believes that a full tear down - with no regard for the fans - isn't what's best for the franchise long-term. I find it incredibly foolish to generating a strong opinion (of anything) based on those comments. Although it's a very candid statement, we are all truly ignorant on the matter.
  19. Did Shatkins suggest it was Rogers holding them back? I think there's a chance the FO themselves believe this approach may be the correct one.
  20. What do you mean? Essentially every player you're thinking of trading is less valuable right now than they were this time one year because they have less control. The only guy who I think now has more value is Smoak. Sleep walking through a lost season just cost this franchise significantly.
  21. If he ever needed TJS, I think you could DH him well before he's available to pitch again....
  22. I think there's a decent chance they sign Todd Frazier back to play 3rd. I doubt he's going to get more than a 1 or 2 year deal. Playing in the NYY lineup would be a great way to rebuild value on a 1 yr deal
  23. I wouldn't mind signing Seung Hwan Oh. He shouldn't cost a lot and there's a chance he rebounds significantly.
  24. You just love disagreeing with me eh?
