Bold Predictions 2017 Thread...

[TheHurl]

Smoak hits 35HR.

 

Ryan Goins will continue to be an important cog in the machine and become the starting 2B

Justin Smoak will finally realize he plays for the Blue Jays and becomes a 4 WAR player

 

Boxy all over it this year

[Stoneyen]

Getting to AA isn't bold, #1 prospect might be the boldest prediction in this thread and that's saying something

 

About Vlad...didn't make it to AA but is in the conversation for #1!

Tulo hit's for 120 wRC+

Andrew Benintendi puts up a 4+ fWAR season.

Blake Rutherford becomes a consensus top 15 prospect

Chris Sale + David Price get TJS. Red Sox still win 87 games and make the WC

Bo Bitches become a consensus top 75 prospect.

Houston Astros beats the Cubs in the world series.

Jays make the playoffs for the 3rd straight year.

Gary Sanchez posts a sub 110 wRC+ and hit's less than 25 HR's

 

Got the Bo one right at least. Maybe the Astros too

sanchez took a big step down this year too.,

[John_Havok]

sanchez took a big step down this year too.,

 

Having baby soft sensitive skin is not a step down.

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

 

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

 

Tulo hit's for 120 wRC+

 

-Tulo hits a career high in homeruns

 

Have never understood the misguided optimism for Tulo. I get that he was pretty good quite a while ago. He's broken down.

 

He has 0 WAR.

Wat?

[bones10]

Wat?

 

maybe not big, but he was absoutley tearing the cover off the ball last year, this year still a respectable 130 wrc+

[Brownie19]

He's like the 2nd or 3rd best catcher in baseball man. Nobody should have expected him to repeat the wRC+ of 170

[Krylian]

Jays will finish in the basement in the AL East

 

Some of us saw a bad season coming.

[quote=BTS;1123088- Aaron Sanchez suffers a very serious arm or shoulder injury

 

Would have been very impressive if you had predicted a very serious finger injury.

smoak hits 35hr.

 

He did it!!! What do i win!?

[Dick_Pole]

Smoak: .370 BA 50 HR

 

Book it.

 

I'm still a little ways away.

...but predicting Smoak would hit 35 HR when he hit 32 HR in the previous two years with a season's worth of PA is really not that bold. Might as well have predicted that he becomes an every day player in 2017...which I guess is still kind of bold.

[Daniel Labude]

-Kevin Pillar leads the Blue Jays in WAR

-Salty hits more homeruns than Martin

-Tulo hits a career high in homeruns

-Morales out produces Edwin

-Travis plays 150+ games

-Blue Jays lead the AL in blown saves

-J.P. Howell has an ERA over 6 and gets released

-Sean Reid-Foley becomes an impact reliever down the strech

-One of our first round picks from the June draft will play in the big leagues this year.

-Vlad Jr. makes it to High A and struggles immensely.

 

Almost struck out 3 times here lol
