Thanks for all the help. I'm really bad at evaluating young pitching. One last question. Would you keep a player like Drew Rasmussen over Harrison and Bradley. Rasmussen is only 28 and he was so good before the injury. Not sure if he can bounce back to his old form? I'm on a roster crunch and have to pick two of the following for the pitching side: Rasmussen, Bradley, Harrison ...and other injured pitchers (Springs, Robbie Ray, and Scherzer).
-
Thanks. Yeah, I was pretty surprised when I saw Cabrera's statcast page, except for the walk rate. I have Taj Bradley who I can trade for Cabrera. Would you do it?
-
How would you rank Lodolo, Kyle Harrison, and Edward Cabrera?
-
Thanks for all the help. I'm now leaning on keeping Wood and grabbing Langford.
-
I've read that Skenes is the best pitching prospect since Strasburg. Is Langford just that good to pass up on, or does Skenes have any red flags?
-
I was thinking about that but I already have these OFs: J. Rod, Harris II, Jimenez, Yoshida, and Wood. And P: Gilbert, Cease, Baz, Eury Perez, Lodolo, Bradley, Berrios, and Kyle Harrison. I think my rotation needs to be improved the most?
-
Well, I have Wood now and have a pick in the draft where I can choose either Langford or Skenes. I was talking to another team who has Tiedemann and I can get him for a trade involving Wood. Just wasn't sure if there was an obvious choice between the two sides.
-
Which side would you pick Langford and Tiedemann or Skenes and James Wood?

Most tax treaties (including the US/Japan treaty) were created, in large part, to avoid double taxation on the same income.
-
From my understanding, is that they take into consideration the full contract over the span of the years signed and use that to calculate the luxury tax owed per year. Even if they aren't paying that full amount per year. So if it averages to $70 million/year over 10 years , that would likely push them over the limit and add a luxury tax on that amount, even if they are actually only paying him $35 million per year for those 10 years. I could be wrong though.

The simplest way to understand it is that money received in the present day can be invested and receive a return on the investment over time; compounding interest adds up. Another layer is that inflation impacts the value of $$$ in the future, so the same value today in purchase power won't be the same in subsequent years. So basically, if he were to receive $10 million extra this year, it would give him significantly more value than if he were to receive it 10 years from now.

More like Ohtani was using the Jays as leverage to get more money from the Dodgers. I don't believe for a second that the Jays were close to signing him yesterday and then mid-way through today, he announces he signed this complicated financial deal (which was at his suggestion), without this being the plan all along.
-
That was a parody account.
-
Oh, thanks. I ranked him higher but I can keep both Harrison and Pfaadt if I drop Bradley.
-
I forgot to add in Taj Bradley. Would he be ahead of these two?
-
Thanks. I was going to try and trade up but I'll hold off. One more question. I can only protect 2 of the following: James Wood, Robbie Ray, Rasmussen, Springs, Kyle Harrison, and Pfaadt. What two you protecting?
-
How would you rank Yamamoto, Langford, Crews, Caminero, and Skenes. I have the 3rd overall pick and don't know if I should try and trade up to get Yamamoto or are they similarly ranked?

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)
FantasyNewb replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
How does Yamamoto rank in comparison to other first year players like Langford or Skenes? I have the 3rd overall pick so I'll be able to get one of them. Is Yamamoto worth trying to trade up by giving up my 1st and 2nd pick (there's usually not a top tier pick available in the 2nd round) or does he project similarly to the other top first year players? -
Thanks. I appreciate the help. I'll definitely keep Baz and will maybe offer up King and May and let him make the hard decision for me. Lol.
-
I'm not sure on his injury risk, but how would it relate to Baz or May who are coming off of surgery? Are they more likely to pitch through it next year? Is Tommy John likely for King? I don't know what kind of injury King is pitching through.
-
So, do you think they will stick with King in a starting role? I assume they would with that way he pitched towards the end.
-
CBS sports posted an article last week that downplayed his catching abilities and stated if JD leaves it would open the DH spot for him to play more. They listed him below Realmuto and William Contrares based on that assumption.
-
I also have a chance to upgrade from Realmuto to Will Smith, but I read somewhere that Smith doesn't have much value since he may be moved off C. Is that true? Smith seems to have good defensive value according to fangraphs and decent percentile rankings. Am misinterpreting the data?
-
Oh, I didn't know King was an injury risk. Don't know much about him other than he pitched really well as a starter. I have to offer two up for a trade and was wondering what two I should offer.
-
Assuming all come back in full health how would you rank Dustin May, Shane Baz, Michael King, and Bryan Bello?
