  1. You know if it wasn't for Rasmus the BA of today's lineup is pretty solid.
  2. I guess it doesn't matter. They're both shoe-ins for the Cy Young. Good thing they are in separate leagues.
  3. Camp injuries are almost a guarantee.
  4. I'm wondering if a Colby Rasmus for Aaron Hill and Cody Ross deal could still happen. I think all three could clear waivers.
  5. I've been back and forth regarding Horvat's place on the team this year. I agree with the sentiments that he shouldn't be wasted on the bench. I also agree that he has little more to do in junior compared to what he could learn as a pro. But also that he shouldn't make the team unless they feel there is the chance he could slide up the lineup at some point. I suppose it's moot until we see him at the camps this year. He could bully his way onto the roster. He's ready to play against men. Dasein, as far as the PP goes.....I think that a spot is to be had there for Weber or Sanguinetti. I could easily see BS make a bid for 1st PP time if his EV play can keep him in the lineup. That might be a pretty major wildcard this year.
  6. When Lind comes back Francisco should go. Instant upgrade although less versatile in the field combined with the loss of Goins.
  7. My one argument for waiting would be that if the Jays add a piece now it will be because Rogers has agreed to take on the salary while not requiring giving up great prospects. At this time of year a whole bunch of high priced FAs are waived in the days after this last deadline. They could still add a helpful piece I am saying albeit am overpriced one. There will be more trades coming soon.
  8. 4pm EST/1pm PST So there is still time for the Jays to do something. If they wait until after the nonwaiver deadline then it's mostly about taking on salary.
  9. They sent Milone to the minors after the acquisitions of Samardzijda and Hammel. He was 6-0 there since going down and wasn't a liability by any stretch in the bigs. That's why I suggested they moved him as a favour because they didn't have a spot for him. Still, he's slated to make $510k next year and isn't a FA for three years. Fuld is a career 4/5 OF who Oakland waived earlier this year. I'm guessing they like his personality and his ability to take a walk and steal bases. Normally Beane would try and get some more youth back too. I would have thought he could get a low A prospect back. Ah well, he's the genius and I'm a hockey fan.
  10. He got ok speed not great. He's versatile....sure....but a LHP with the albeit short track record of Milone should be worth more than a guy who's been a waiver candidate for many years. I'm sure Beane has a view of how to utilize him but I think it's a pretty bad return of a depth/platoon outfielder for a SP. Especially considering Fuld is a FA at the end of the year and Milone has a few years of control left. It's a weird and counterintuitive move for Oakland.
  11. I don't get that Milone trade at all. Even if he was moved as a favour Fuld is a nothing return.
  12. In other news, JPA has gone 4/5 with 2HR and 7RBIs raising his average to .183.
  13. I'd still take Nylander before Dal Colle right now. After them, Ritchie then Virts.
  14. Fun times! Deniro, remember when we talked about the attributes of tanking and we said we'd talk on draft day in the thread? Saying that we might get the player you want regardless of where we pick? Who are your top 10?
  15. He also seems to be suggesting: Chris Kelly 25th For 36th Doesn't seem likely to me.
  16. Right. So no one is allowed to make predications, prognostications or have personal opinions about what they should do because you think it's stupid.
  17. Kapanen and Barbashev have the most complete game of the bunch so I'd expect they trend the highest.
  18. I don't see Kapanen falling behind all of Fiala, Fabbri, Barbashev and Goldobin Maybe one of them but not all.
