    Who'd you pick up? Carlos Correa??
  2. Brownie19
    Ya think?

    I was just making a joke, but my concern is he's only hit in the lower levels. He's been trash in over 680 PA's in AA so far. He isn't a patient hitter, nor does he have much speed. There just aren't many stats that suggest he'll be anything more than Ryan Goins. In fact, Goins was a significantly better hitter than Urena in AA over approximately the same number of PA's. He's just on a heater right now (BABIP at .458).

    Actually, there's not. His best stat might be his age.

    Club Erotica. They also have the VIP room for lappers + rooms for private, behind closed doors dances (which I'd never seen before).

    Who are we? The 2014 Seattle Mariners?

    PNC is pretty awesome. I was there this past summer. Great strippers too....$20 cover for all you can drink, full nude Are those the Jays 'away' inter league games? What NL teams come to Toronto?
  9. Brownie19
    True. He really should hire Mark Trumbo's agent. Those 2 aren't "that" different.

    I can't believe Mark Reynolds got enough PA's this year to accumulate 30 hrs and 100 rbis (or to be approaching those milestones). All while their big FA signing, who for some reason was pegged to play 1st base, Ian Desmond has put up the worst year of his career and has a WAR of -0.9. Baseball is a funny sport at times.

    You don't decide the course of future prospects based on 1 case study man. That's dumn.

    Ah - Fangraphs refers to him as Jose Silva. Looks like he was dominant as a 18 and 19 year old in Rk and A ball, but quickly fizzled out and was a nobody. Big time strikeouts back when they weren't valued much.

    Could be....but even with his great season he's having, his career wRC+ is only 112. Same as Morales. I wouldn't touch him with a 10' pole (based on what I think he'll get).
  15. Brownie19
    This should help him secure more gold gloves for his spectacular defense... His FB% is now at 22 on the year, which is a career low (GB% is at 53.5 on the year). Good luck to whoever is going to give him a big contract this offseason. He's done a remarkable job of alternating good and bad season also: Year: wRC+, WAR 2011: 113, 1.0 2012: 80, -1.7 2013: 120, 3.2 2014: 98, 0.0 2015: 124, 3.4 2016: 102, -0.2 2017: 141, 4.1

    I was noticing this morning that Lindor has really embraced the fly ball revolution himself. His FB% is in the low 40's now (after being in the high 20's the previous 2 years). He's now up to 29 hrs on the year - however, it hasn't made him tangibly better overall. His BABIP has dropped a lot (as one would expect) and his wRC+ is only at 114, which is below his career mark. He's really the first player I can remember who hasn't benefited from this new philosophy.

    Words cannot express the value you bring to this board Spats. Thanks. I now have a book to go read.
  18. Brownie19
    It's like your making fun of the handicapped kid who can't do long division man. Not cool.
  19. Brownie19
    Apparently Sanchez has a finger ligament strain... Mildly makes him sound like less of a pussy than being out for the rest of the season with a blister...
  20. Brownie19
    I did. I saw a couple of .790 OPS seasons in AA and AAA at age 20 and 21. I mean that's not awful by any means. I guess he had a good power/speed combo with elite defense. His bat just ended up being Jose Iglesias in the majors.
  21. Brownie19
    What were the scouts smoking when they ranked Alex Gonzalez the 5th and 8th best prospect in baseball? I guess projected his bat to catch up with his great defense. He would have ranked high on the best looking Jays list - but that's about it. Who's Joe Silva? searched his name on fangraphs and came up blank.
  22. Brownie19
    I'd love to see the Jays get Joc
  23. Brownie19
    um. Because I'm not his son.
  24. Brownie19
    Well aren't you on a tirade. AA found and exploited loop holes in two different CBA's. He was successfully able to stockpile compensation picks and then was one of the first to draft 5 year college players in the middle rounds for next to nothing, so he could use the extra cash to overpay for HS players. When people talk about his ability to re-stock the farm, they are typically referring the creative way he amassed extra high draft picks and/or highly ranked players. At the time, his approach was significantly better to that used by JP Riccardi. A lot of draft picks fail (regardless of who the GM is), but I think AA deserves some credit.

    An old guy at my work calls nearly everyone "my son". It's weird. I call him Dad now.
