OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[zeke]

I hope you’re right about Roden. The bat is clearly ready. 46XBH including 16HR in 451AB last year. Slugged .475 (higher than every Blue Jay except Vladdy). .196 ISO in AAA. As I recall he got off to a slow start in AA (injury maybe) but then tore it up the rest of the year, and even moreso after he got promoted.

iirc they tried to change his swing to start last year and it wasn't working, and then he raked the rest of the way as soon as he went back to his old swing.

Does it only count toward the CBT ceiling if he’s on the 40-man roster?

What a hilarious trade that was. I don’t even think they’re going to use that extra international bonus money they got. Just took on a $15.5 commitment to Straw for nothing. Which is the main reason I’m afraid he’s going to make the team.

now that i re-think about it i think it was actually just to give themselves more IFA pool money.

but anyways he's not on the 40 man and I don't know that they care to risk someone else to put him on it.

What is even happening in this thread?

Presto's going nuts on all his alts today seems like.

Jays first spring training game is on Saturday! Always sneaks up on you.

I’m hoping Alan Roden makes the team this year, and Santander and Springer end up playing a lot of DH. Not entirely sure about Roden’s defence, he apparently has an above average arm and can play either corner, but he was mostly a 1B in college which is perhaps concerning. The bat is for real though. High hard contact, high OBP.

If somebody like Miles Straw makes the team over Roden, I’m going to be very annoyed.

Weather permitting, I'll be there!

FI’s best kept secret. Leafman 101 is a presto alt.

He wishes.

That's what a presto alt would say

It would also say something about churning arby's credit cards.

 

[mbow30]

Hair fibers would cover that. I used them daily until my "procedure" (Or vacation as I told everyone else).
