    I'm not worried about losing that trade at all.
  2. jmomcc
    We traded someone who went on to have a 2.5 win season the next year for cash considerations. That's a loss. The win/loss paradigm is dumb in trades generally but it is what it is.

    Financial flexibility should mean less to us as we have more money. It should matter more to baltimore and tampa and less than us. Making prospects worth more to us and less to them. I have no idea if the actual trade will win or lose. Like we lost the otto lopez trade obviously but that's not something you can really ding the front office over. I don't like the thought process behind the trade. That's all. I promise to stop talking about it though when everyone else does.

    If you think someone is genuinely baiting you, just don't respond.

    That's exactly Atkin's analysis from listening to the interviews. That's a coin with two sides. Either it means you pay more than market price or it means you get guys you absolutely love and think the market incorrectly undervalues. Time will tell which it is.

    Teams would trade pop up relievers no problem if you pay them enough. Its obviously something you sell. If we are bad, i'd sell braydon fisher in a heartbeat.
  7. jmomcc
    This is possibly true. I just think at the end of the day you probably get more for this year overall, if you don't spend on the next 5 years as well. I was reading some stuff about the red sox attempt to get Crochet, and how the proposed cost was way less than at a deadline, albeit still high. The offseason seems the best time to attempt those kinds of trades.

    I agree on salary dump. They are cutting to the bone there.
  9. jmomcc
    I'd assume they'd want to give France a chance? So, loperfido until rosters expand. They need Schneider for the weak side platoon. I'd cut France though.

    Home runs at coors are above league average but not to the same extent as other types of hits. They lead in everything else but are just above average there. So, maybe just extreme emphasis on defense. And variety of pitching.
  11. jmomcc
    I think i'd want a ton of different fastballs and be good at teaching change ups. edit: or splitters.
  12. jmomcc
    I just don't get how they construct teams. Singles, doubles and triples are all at least 15% over major league average... and they have the highest K% in the show. It can't be that hard to prioritize defense, contact, and baserunning. Those are all things that are probably less valuable now than they used to be.
  13. jmomcc
    I don't even know if i would prioritize power bats but yea great defense and great pitching development. The Milwaukee blueprint basically. I'd take power on top of that but i'd settle for contact. That's probably easier to get.
  14. jmomcc
    An org that really concentrated on pitching dev and designing a team around the environment could work. Their owner is the problem.
  15. jmomcc
    He seems fine to me. Generic play by play.
  16. jmomcc
    How much could the jays change the park dimensions? i was thinking in the comerica series that it really suited the traits of our team. Maybe similar for coors.
  17. jmomcc
    You would think with the chaos around their franchise with the sale, now would be a good time to hire off them?
  18. jmomcc
    It would probably be cheaper to get the people who develop the pitching. But yea, all the relievers they sold (i think there were 5?) look good. .
  19. jmomcc
    Yea, but that's the same deal. Why are we caring so much about finding ways to get value two years from now when we are good now. If i was projecting right now, i'd say we probably won't be a playoff team next year by projections. Why would you not maximize winning this year?
  20. jmomcc
    Its not just the variability. Its the opporunity cost. If we had 100 units of trade capital, we spent like 50 of them on the next 5 years. We don't know if we will be good those years. 1.5 WAR of good reliever is intensely useful when good and not so much when you aren't. We could spend all 100 units this year or mostly this year, and be better this year. We could have three relievers, a starter and a good bat. The whole thing is more sounds smart than actually smart to me. Also, money is cheaper for us. In real terms if a team has half our budget, then we can spend twice as much as them for the same value. Prospects are the same price, which means i'd be more willing to spend money and less willing to spend prospects. That's essentially what the dodgers gm was talking about when trying to get as much business done in the offseason as possible. We seem to be the opposite. We love paying for multiple years of control at the exact most expensive time to do so. The signings we should be making is from twins pitching dev. They obviously know what they are doing.

    There is zero evidence that Guerroro has ever tried to do so. He has been essentially the same hitter the entire time (which is excellent). The results mostly depend on luck. Teams have taught hitters to go get the ball more. Its just not something the jays emphasize. If anything we emphasize the other way.
  22. jmomcc
    Dominuez has that in him. It tends to come with great stuff. Not sure why he throwing the splitter to a rightie though.
  23. jmomcc
    You responded twice to the same comment.
  24. jmomcc
    4% vs 7% swinging strike. Just over 80% contact rate vs 90% contact. Roden has more power potential because his max ev is 112mph, well above Kwan. So, if a team can get him lifting the ball more... that seems like a good player. I didn't say he would defend like Kwan. I said he can play above average corner outfield defense. That's it. We'll see. Edit: maybe he just said he liked the fastball not specifically the shape?
  25. jmomcc
    Roden looks a bit like a potato. Much safer.
