    That Bloody tampon dude is just perfectly named as he shows up once a month, makes some bitchy comments and then disappears for another month.

    He doesn't exactly strike me as a particularly quick witted dude.

    Statcast search is the tool you need for this. It's a little finicky to utilize compared to Fangraphs but it provides more granular data, including the ability to sort expected stats over specified time frames. The best way I've found to change the included statistics is using the "change included stats" tab on the bottom of the page. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/statcast_search

    Yeah it's generally been a rough season for the minors. As you mentioned all of the guys in Buffalo who were having offensive success have found their ways up to the big league team so there's little of interest to follow. Rainer Nunez has been hitting much better in recent months after a terrible April (133 wRC+ in his last 49 games in AA) but he was one of the few relative success stories I could even find. Kasevich hit for a good average for quite some time but this was completely tempered by lack of power, Nimmala has provided a ton of power output since returning from the developmental list but he's still really struggled with strikeouts

    I have a feeling Vlad may be legitimately fixed at the plate. He's into a nearly 3 month stretch of 160'ish wRC+ production. That's exactly the type of bat you want to build around. It's a shame he's becoming borderline unplayable in the field though as the defense hasn't improved despite the obvious improvements to his physical fitness. I have no idea what kind of extension offer would actually entice Vlad to sign though. He will always have the bad body concerns hanging over him, and 1B/DH types aren't getting the massive long term deals in this day and age either.

    I don't think the organization actually wanted to trade Halladay as he asked to be traded to have a chance to compete.

    The guy is injured and having an awful season. What's the rush to trade him if it's going to return pennies on the dollar?
  8. max silver
    Bo is expected to be out several weeks at minimum and the trade deadline is only like a week away. Seems like the two sides are stuck with each other for the time being.

    He reportedly slimmed down and took up yoga in the offseason. It's not like he's suddenly a stickman or something though as he's obviously carrying plenty of muscle on his frame.

    That could easily end up like JA Happ for McKinnery and Drury all over again.
  11. max silver
    Springer very well may in the midst of an offensive breakout, it just took several months into the season for it to start.
  12. max silver
    There are reports floating around the internet that Bo actually preferred to be drafted by the Blue Jays and told other teams he wouldn't sign with them. This seems to indicate he was perfectly happy to be a Toronto Blue Jay. This doesn't discount the possibility that he would prefer to be moved at this juncture for sure but it's a giant stretch to suggest he never wanted to be in Toronto.

    All of the best pitching prospects are hurt. That includes Maroudis, Tiedemann, Macko and Barriera.
  14. max silver
    That's nonsense. One of the pitches being called a ball was the instance of Gausman missing his spot by the entire width of the plate and Jansen had to reach to catch it, that's not Jansen's fault. Another one was a very borderline pitch that was basically a 50/50 call at best.
  15. max silver
    Did he force Gausman to throw a middle middle meatball?
  16. max silver
    What's done is done, I just hope that he can maintain some of these gains into next season.
  17. max silver
    This is downright dumb. A pitch that needs to be blocked isn't catchable in the first place, it's obvious you have an axe to grind with comments like that one.
  18. max silver
    Even if the Jays tried to tank they will have to deal with the anti-tanking draft lottery and won't get to pick at the top of the draft year over year.
  19. max silver
    I think that team was comparable to the 2015 team as one of the best in baseball.
  20. max silver
    There is definitely a tall hill to climb back into contention but it's possible if enough things go right. If the team is another stinker nearing the deadline it can still be blown up and rebuilt from the ground up.
  21. max silver
    Yeah I don't think anyone can fault the front office for a player who has recently become increasingly injury prone and inexplicably losing his ability to produce at the plate.
  22. max silver
    There were multiple reports that Tiedemann showed up for spring training notably larger than previous seasons so getting bigger and stronger isn't likely what's required.
  23. max silver
    I still notice him sitting on the bench on tv all the time. You can't miss the s*** eating grin he always features no matter how the game is actually unfolding.
  24. max silver
    This seems fitting:

    I'm pretty sure this isn't an apples to apples comparison. You are taking the dollar per WAR value of non Blue Jays players based on last season, and for the players signed by the Blue Jays you are using their dollar per WAR for this season.
