Around Baseball 2017

[Daniel Labude]

I'd like to see us spend some money and make a few trades (not Vlad or Bo). We could challenge the Yankees if we get better at a few spots next season. If Stroman and Sanchez are at top form.....pitching beats hitting 2019 is looking great as well

[Dr. Dinger]

This is definitely thread-worthy.

[jays4life19]

Who do you guys think the prospects will be? They said a couple guys in the lower levels so I'll guess Pablo Olivares and Freicer Perez

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm gonna say Castro, Gardner, Frazier, Kaprielian.

As a die-hard Jays fan, I'm actually excited and happy for our rival, the Yankees if they get Stanton.

 

Sounds odd, but i'll explain.

 

The Jays and the Yankees are in completely different stages of life cycle. We're an old and mediocre team at best and they're young, good and improving. We won't be competing with them for the division for quite a while I would say.

 

If not Stanton, they'll go after Harper and Machado next off-season anyways.

 

The Yankees actually succesfully rebuilt/Retooled rather rapidly. They developed their young core. And they made some excellent trades.

 

We all remember they sold off Chapman and Miller at the 2016 trade deadline. At the time and Yankees were still in the race but they had the judgement and the courage to pull off the trades. Sure their fan base understandably wasn't too happy. How that turned out for them. They deserve their team.

 

I wish the Jays would take a similar approach to rebuild/retool our team and have even better success.

 

The Yankees will be a fun team to watch for the next few years for their loaded lineup. And we can be a fun team to watch too if we acquire, develop young talents.

 

It can also be beneficial as we play a lot, for for the record/standing, but for developing our young, future stars. You make most progresse by playing against the best.

 

If we can get where the Yankees are now, and start competing in 3 years, I'll be very happy.

[G-Snarls]

This is definitely thread-worthy.

 

Pleaee start one

 

Or about baseball will be unreadable for any other topic

[Boxcar]

I'm gonna say Castro, Gardner, Frazier, Kaprielian.

 

That would be a huge overpay unless the Marlins are picking up a lot of salary, which is unlikely since Jeter and co. are cheaper f***s than Loria.

[P2F]

I'm pretty sure we don't live in a world where the Yankees have both Sonny Gray and James Kaprielian, if you know what I mean.

It's okay. It wasn't as bad as this Yankees prospect podcast:

At 22:40, the face palms ensue regarding Dustin Fowler.

[Maine Jays]

Stanton pretty much veteod a trade to the Cards

 

I was talking about us dealing them Donaldson after losing out on Stanton.

[Spanky99]

I'm gonna say Castro, Gardner, Frazier, Kaprielian.

 

I hope you're right(Frazier,etc), Rosenthal's saying Yankees plan on using Gardner/Stanton and Judge as corners and DH.

I'm dumn, godammit Dinger!

[TheHurl]

Morrow to the Cubs. 2 years $21 M is one report

[TheHurl]

2 years $11M for Gregerson from the Cards

[Angrioter]

Morrow to the Cubs. 2 years $21 M is one report

That's a "montaña de dólares"

[JaysAllMighty]

C'est une montagne de dollars.

They were elected via the Modern Ballot. Not sure what that is exactly.

 

Alan Trammell had a pretty good case for the HoF IMO while Morris did not.

Basically a group of old HoF players collectively decide whether or not a certain player should go in the hall if they haven't been elected thru the BBWAA.

[Hipfan]

Morrow top 5 closer next year.

 

Morrow top 5 DL time next year...

[KingKat]

Is that what they call The Veteran's Committee now?

[Brownie19]

Why the f*** would they elect Jack Morris to the HOF?

[Jonn]

I don’t see either as HOF caliber. I like that this vote exists but I’m a little confused.

[Jonn]

 

[P2F]

LMAO! That organization is such a joke.

 

Thank f*** Rogers couldn't hire this knob jockey. We dodged a Maryland-sized bullet there.

More bad news for the Red Sox:

 

http://mlb.nbcsports.com/2017/12/10/report-steven-wright-arrested-on-domestic-assault-charges/

 

If this charges are true whether he gets convicted or not, Wright will likely face a lengthy suspension under MLB's domestic abuse policies--and it will mean Brian Johnson as Boston's 5th starter in 2018 to start (he's out of options and either will be in the rotation or bullpen on Opening Day).

 

They're already without Pedroia and E-Rod until June.. they can't afford more injuries or suspensions.

[jaysfan2014]

Especially with the O's org. set to implode after 2018--Machado, Jones, Britton and Brach hit free agency, leaving a team with just Schoop, the Chris Davis albatross, and no pitching beyond Bundy and Gausman.. it's not going to be pretty. A decent owner would've put all 4 of those pending free agents on the block right now and rebuilt, especially with the state of the Orioles organization.

[Boxcar]

Holy f***, so that's why it took so long to hear that the Orioles were out. What a bunch of f***ing retards.

 

Between Gausman wearing #34 to honour Doc (lol!) and this crap, Orioles are looking like the dumbest team in baseball. Who's dumber? I can only think of the Padres.

[Krylian]

Orioles are dumber

Wow... if he hadn't put a hand on her and gets charged with domestic assault, this World just keeps getting worse, in saying that, he was also charged with prevention of a 911 call, where I can't see how he didn't. Also there's this thing we're mired in right now buddy, it's called the off season, you know FA, trades and all that jazz.

[BTS]

Lmao @ Jack Morris getting in while Mike Mussina and Kevin Brown might not. These idiots have no f***ing idea what they’re doing.
