I know Superfriends brought in a lot of their own guys, but I wonder if there is maybe a scout or two that just go fired from the Jays they would hire. If Law's sentiment that there were some very good ones let go are the same feelings superfriends have.

 

@keithlaw New SD adding his own guys. Lost some very good scouts though. RT @AndyMc9293: Any ideas as to why the Jays fired eight amateur scouts?

@keithlaw #close RT @robneyer: Mitch Williams said yesterday that 52 of his saves were 3 innings or more. Actual number in real life: 0.

 

Delightful.

 

hahhaaahahahah 52 would be over 1/4 of his career saves

 

did he really think he had a double marathon of three out saves?

the 2014 season opener will be played in sydney between the dodgers and diamondbacks. don't really give a [expletive] about either team, but might have to go just for fun.

That's pretty cool. Finally somewhere other than Japan.

Don't remember who but one of the BA guys was complimentary of those Toronto scouts too. Obviously Law should have better knowledge of Toronto guys though.

So the Rangers are putting Profar in LF.

I'm pretty sure Kinsler has some sort of incriminating evidence against Daniels at this point with their stubbornness to move him off of 2B.

[Clem Fandango]

They would've moved Kinsler to 1B but Mitch Moreland decided he wanted to play baseball this year. Their $118 million SS that's blocking him is really crushing the ball this year, too. .245/.299/.292/.591. Good for a 60 OPS+.

That's quite embarrassing. I hate when teams misuse/abuse their insane talent. Well, every team except the Marlins and Cardinals, I suppose.

Minute Maid Park swallows a fan.

Holy [expletive] and I thought Castro was bad.

Castro's wOBA is 10 points higher, but Andrus is much better defensively and is probably having the better season :(

[Guest]

to his credit, he is taking this very seriously

Andrus has actually manged 0.3 fWAR because of his defense.

Lol, I got 0 out of 10 correct.

[sneakypower]

i actually thought a lot of them seemed pretty straight-forward, and lo & behold i ended up with a 4/10

 

 

i wonder why people don't take advantage of the bunt IF fly exception more

2/10.

[Clem Fandango]

3/10.

 

 

Should've gotten 4/10 but I totally forgot about the 2 outs on the Morneau homer with Willingham missing the base. I know that you can get called out for that, but I totally forgot there were 2 outs and it would've ended the inning

 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

3/10.
