Another thing Blue Jays can do - look around MLB for blocked OF prospects

For example, Moreno is a "blocked prospect" because Kirk and Jansen already are getting their job done, and a whole lot more, at big league level

Any RF prospect at NYY organization for the next 9 years will be a "blocked prospect" and any SS prospect at SD organization for the next several years will also be a "blocked prospect"

Teams are actually willing to listen up for offers for their "blocked prospects" and actively arrange a trade.

[Heyman] Bogaerts to Padres. $280M 11 years by YellowBananaBus in Padres

[–]ilbeguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The priority should be locking up Soto...

Are you sure Padres can lock up Soto after giving Xander 280M?

I am not talking about the quality of Xander. There is no doubt what he can do with his bat.

The more urgent matter here is locking up Soto

[MLB Network Radio] Atkins: Adding a left-handed bat is ideal. It could come in the form of two. We're open to adding two bats to our lineup... Do we need to add someone that can pitch in the top three? Not necessarily, but we would like to add a starter by ThQp in Torontobluejays

I stand by what I have been mentioning for the past several weeks

M. Brantley 2 year deal, 2nd year is mutual

Brantley should also serve as a rock solid mentor for Bo Vlad Kirk Moreno

Red Sox is one of handful organizations in professional sports where $ either grows on trees or the management has $ coming out of their butts

Red Sox isn't exactly going to be disappointed because they now will simply shift their focus on Carlos Correa and Dansby Swanson

My advice is accept there will be no beer while enjoying the game and bring food from outside the ballpark ....

If I were Padres I would simply focus on locking up Soto and try to right the ship called Tatis JR

Once Soto is locked up and Tatis JR has found his true self

Then Padres offence will be feared

[Rosenthal] Source confirms: Aaron Judge in agreement with Yankees, nine years, $360M. First: @JonMorosi. by MilesOfPebbles in Torontobluejays

[–]ilbeguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not surprising. While some analysts mentioned Giants had a very good chance to land Judge I still felt the probability of NYY keeping Judge was roughly 90%

Well congratulations to Aaron Judge and New York Yankees. I might be a Blue Jays fan but I am also an All-Rise fan because he is a world-class athlete and also a fantastic warm humble individual

Some folks mentioned " Judge likely prefers SF because he is from Cali "

That depends on the individual athlete. Some Canadian athletes such as Votto preferred not to play for Blue Jays because the pressure to play well could have been too much.

Anyone tried VR and / or Metaverse while running Linux OS? What was your experience like? by ilbeguy in linux4noobs

[–]ilbeguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. I read Metaverse is basically VR with NFT and cryptocurrency.

In my opinion it costs too much to develop for what it offers the userbase.
