Blue Jays Discussion: Turn out the lights, the season's over.

[TF97]

These proposals are great. Promote this man.

Once you have reached the position of "Director of Sexy", there is really nowhere else to go but down

 

[phillipmike]

The Cards are playing some sloppy baseball all the Braves 3 runs had a Cardinal error in it. Three separate errors

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Braves probably wish they had Giles right now

So do the Cards.

Don't I know it!!!

 

[Kurtz]

Cards win might be for the best. If AA wins the World Series, this board would turn bloody.

 

[Morgs]

The Dodgers are already the best team in the league, but yeah they also have Gavin Lux.

Like come the f*** on.

If he was with the Jays, they'd still have him in A+ ball.

"Development"

Eh, he went 46 picks before Bo did, Lux is only 3 months older, and Bo had 130 more PA's in the MLB this season.

Bo is a freak of nature, but only had to beat out players on a bottom 5 team.

I hope we see Pearson in late April...

 

[Discoverer]

But how come Mike Trout has not had the same effect, so to speak?

Because the Angels have done an awful job of building a team around him. No one is suggesting a single good player guarantees success.

They're ridiculous in terms of development. Its all about infrastructure. Whether it be 1st round picks (Smith, Lux, Buehler), mid round picks (Bellinger, Verdugo, Joc, Stripling), or complete reclamation projects (Taylor, Muncy).

They have random dudes just kind of hanging around that could've led the Jays in fWAR this year had they played full time in the majors (Matt Beaty, Edwin Rios, Kyle Garlick). They consistently take 35FV guys and turn them into 50PV guys. Its such a stark contrast from some of the crappier franchises in baseball.

 

[Skin Tape Session]

I'm rooting for the dodgers b2b ws losses is tough.Hoping they pull it off.

 

[Eyedea]

Because I found it whacky as hell that Tim Anderson won the batting title this season, after looking at some leaderboards I noticed that by the grace of God the White Sox had two of the top four highest BABIP's of the century this season in Moncada (1st) and Anderson (4th). Sandwiched between them was 2002 Jose Hernandez and 2000 Manny Ramirez.

Also Anderson batted a .335 with a .357 OBP. Cavan Biggio batted a .234 with a .364 OBP.

Kevin Smith is doing very poorly in the AFL. .389 OPS and a 50% SO rate.

Yikes those out some pretty horrid numbers. How many plate appearance does he have so far.

37 PA and 3 walks.

Would be a mistake to let Shapiro go or if Cherington left. Anything else wouldnt be a huge loss unless we are talking a mass exodus.

Read a rumor that Boston is interested in Shapiro for their Presidents job.

I would keep Shapiro for sure. Atkins can go.

 

[Cor]

Sounds like Shaprio could be on the way out

 

[theaub]

Considering the lack of movement on the stadium wouldn't be surprised to see Shapiro go.

 

[Jozay]

Rogers is the reason there isnt an progress, not Shapiro

 

[Cor]

Rogers is the reason there isnt an progress, not Shapiro

Considering that is a reason why Shapiro was brought in, and a reason why Shapiro found the job appealing, and something he's shown frustration with, it explains why he is seemingly looking to move on himself by exploring other jobs.

It appears to be a foregone conclusion that Shapiro and Atkins are gone after this year, and perhaps sooner if Shapiro finds a gig elsewhere.
