Bold Predictions 2017 Thread...

[TheHurl]

Gruber got us started with his Pillar 110 wRC+ prediction. Lets see some from everyone. Try to be bold, try to be funny...and be free to include some non-Jays ones.

 

Mine will be posted some time this week.

JP comes out of the retirement signs a nice contract with the Jays as Aces friend Deuce

[BTS]

- Kendrys Morales puts up a 2+ win season on the strength of a wRC+ above 115 and some surprisingly decent innings at 1B

- Devon Travis contributes fewer than 2 wins

- Aaron Sanchez suffers a very serious arm or shoulder injury

- The bullpen is top-5 in baseball and a significant strength all season long

[Krylian]

Jays will finish in the basement in the AL East

[Bobthe4th]

1. Giancarlo Stanton will finally have a healthy season and will hit 50 home runs.

 

2. Bryce Harper will have a higher WAR than Mike Trout.

 

3. Jose Bautista will have a higher WAR than Edwin Encarnacion.

 

4. Jim and Boxcar will realise that there is a thin line between love and hate and stop constantly insulting each other in the politics thread.

[Dr. Dinger]

Jays lose in the wildcard game to the Texas Rangers

[glory]

Travis misses half the season with something.

 

Sanchez and Happ regress, Stroman and Liriano improve.

 

Pearce ends up with a higher WAR than Encarnacion (yes I went there!)

 

Morales has a better season than expected (1.5-2.0 WAR).

 

Carrera gets way too many AB's and has an April so awful that he gets demoted.

 

Smoak, see Carrera.

[HERPDERP]

-Smoak with a wRC north of 100

 

-Donaldson will be beset with nagging hamstring injuries and will have a down year of 30 HR, 100 RBI

 

-Bautista will go back to being a premium offensive player

 

-Happ will s*** the bed

 

-Estrada will be average

 

-Sanchez will dominate

 

-Stroman will be average

[Angrioter]

Miguel Sano and Stanton help my dynasty team with 100 dingers, and Trea Turner top-5 MVP

[Angrioter]

Smoak DFA after 100 PA

[o2cui2i]

Smoak released before june

 

One of Happ or Estrada goes down with long term injury and Biagini becomes our second best starter after Sanchez who will be healthy all year

 

Jose hits 20 HR before the all star break and then has career ending injury

[Daniel Labude]

Travis is an All Star

Pompey becomes a full time starter

We have 2 pitchers in CY contention

Donaldson wins MVP

We win it all

[The Iceman]

Dalton Pompey based on pro rating his spring stats will win the job in LF and hit 500 home runs this season.

Smoak and Loup are demoted

Ryan Goins starts more than 100 games for the Jays

Devon Travis gets injured...I mean stays healthy

[jb22]

KP finishes season with 90 wRC+

[Stangstag]

- Tulo has a "return to form" season, posting 5 WAR with a 135 wRC+

 

- Stroman finishes in the top 5 for CY young votes

[TholesWeirdEye]

Smoak hits 35HR.

[Ray]

Russell Martin posts a 3.5 win season

 

Tulowitzki hits 30 homers for only the third time in his career

 

Melvin Upton Jr. has a 20-20 season

 

Donaldson has a down year but still posts over 5 WAR.

 

There will be no significant injury to the rotation again (knocks on wood)

 

Steve Pearce plays over 120 games posting > 2.5 wins

[jb22]

- Kendrys Morales puts up a 2+ win season on the strength of a wRC+ above 115 and some surprisingly decent innings at 1B

- Devon Travis contributes fewer than 2 wins

- Aaron Sanchez suffers a very serious arm or shoulder injury

- The bullpen is top-5 in baseball and a significant strength all season long

 

The only one remotely bold of those is the bullpen and they're so volatile literally any team could end up being in the top 5.

[Spanky99]

Travis is an All Star

Pompey becomes a full time starter

Don't you dare tell anyone here that Biagini can put up better numbers than Stroman. Shame..

[SAAviour]

Bautista is a beast and we all hope he agrees to stay for the two option years.

 

Rowdy and Pompey put in solid 2-3 win seasons and become regulars by May/June.

 

Stroman wins the CY young.

 

Jays lose in ALCS.

 

2b becomes our biggest problem and we land Dozier at the deadline.
