OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[Bleedsblue&white]

Remember when it felt like we could do no wrong, or everything went right?

the mighty jays bats just gave Nick Martinez his worst start of the year. nice.

A 60 grade tool is an elite or near elite tool. 70 is otherworldly. 80 is one of the best of all time that the grader has seen on a prospect.

So this kid's tools look like they're being graded at:

Hit - 60
Raw Power - 70

Vladdy's prospect grades were

Hit - 65/70
Raw Power - 80

and Vladdy was considered a generational hitting prospect as a teenager.

Hope the new CBA doesnt fuck this up with different rules or a new draft process

Ach, so unlucky.

Great hitting game by the Jays offense. Soriano did enough. Waldron gives up too much hard contact for a knuckle baller.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Is Soriano really that good? I haven't been blown away at all.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Game over.

TB had 13 hits. 13 singles.

Not sure I can recall another game where a team got over 10 hits and all were singles.

He is good. Ground ball pitcher infront of a good infield d. Has the stuff to strike you out. Wild though. Give him an off-season with Pete Walker.

 

[zeke]

CLE loses. DET loses.

TOR in a wildcard spot pending the rangers game.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Tex crushing the Nats, so not looking good.

Strength of schedule for wild card contenders:

Cleveland (30)
Seattle (29)
Toronto (28)
Minnesota (26)
Detroit (16)
Texas (13)
Baltimore (11)

so easy schedule for the Jays, much tougher for Texas and Baltimore. Let's see if they can pull through.
