Offseason Roster Thread 2017-18

Lol @ Seoul

 

It's not my fault your people all look the same to me.

[Bobthe4th]

Toronto is not in the US.

 

Toronto is not a contender.

 

Lol @ Soeul

 

For all we know, not being a US city could be a plus for him.

[Key22]

They were in on both Darvish and Chapman..

 

I hope we land him - I believe there is a sizeable Japanese community in Toronto and I'd far rather live in Canada than the US. So there is that.

 

If he is truly an Ace then that would be a huge addition. Take care of right and left field and have a starting Shortstop and Second basemen who can actually play the position all year then we have a pretty good team. So long as Pillar is batting 9th and never bats anyplace else - then it will be a good team.

[Deadpool]

Dick_Pole is so dumn

 

Look, Dick and I don't see eye to eye on ANYTHING, and even I knew that was a joke...

[Angrioter]

Trump invaded Toronto?

[z3r0s]

What do people think about Tyler Chatwood? They are projecting him at $20/3 and the Coors effect is a bitch.

Could be a steal if the AAV is only $6.666M and you are getting him in 3 mid-age seasons.

 

Then again, he could suck

It seems a good number of people here have Chat-wood.

Booooooooooo!

[Angrioter]

Danny Valencia at Bautista's wedding?

 

Danny wasn't a cancer. f*** Alex for trade him instead Colabello 😁😁😁

[BTS]

Rule V deadline is tonight, and we have 4 spots available. Who gets added to the 40-man? Names that have to be added or exposed (posted by Ray earlier)

 

Rowdy Tellez

Danny Jansen

Conner Greene

Max Pentecost

Reese McGuire

Thomas Pannone

Jordan Romano

Angel Perdomo

Francisco Rios

Andrew Case

Tim Lopes

Jonathan Davis

Conor Fisk

 

Seems like Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire should be locks. Probably Pannone and Davis too?

 

There's still some garbage to clear too: Refsnyder and Maile probably shouldn't survive the day.

[glory]

Jansen, McGuire, Pannone, and Greene would be my guess.

 

I'd be surprised if we didn't see at least one trade today.

[Brownie19]

Although Connor Greene is s***, I don't think you risk exposing that big arm just so you can keep Ref + Maile. I don't want to lose Perdomo or Romano either, but I tend to think they are safe. I think Tellez is safe too - and I'm holding out hope he can rebound this year.

[P2F]

Booooooooooo!

 

I just mean that there's already been a lot of chatter about him, and it seems like a lot of people think there's something there.

 

I don't understand why, though.

[Slade]

Jansen, McGuire, Pannone, and Greene would be my guess.

 

I'd be surprised if we didn't see at least one trade today.

 

I don't think you can expose Greene, he's s*** but someone will value the arm for the pen.

[Spanky99]

Jansen, McGuire, Pannone, and Greene would be my guess.

 

I'd be surprised if we didn't see at least one trade today.

 

Agreed on both accounts, trades for signing bonus pool money. There's also the deadline for the MLBPA to sign off on Otani being eligible tonight at 8 PM EST.

[Grant77]

I would clear out Refsnyder, Maile, and Rowley. I question whether we should tender a contract to Tom Koehler, but it seems like they will.

 

I think we definitely need to add Greene, Jansen, Pannone, and McGuire. I'd also consider adding Davis, but I don't think the rest are at risk of being taken. Tellez is unlikely due to his position. The last 1B I remember sticking was Chris McGuiness several years ago.

[Brownie19]

What's the deal with Jonathan Davis? He's old for AA and not much of a hitter, but he does take his walks, has some speed and a bit of pop. Is he a legit CF defensively? I mean he's probably just another guy - but if he can play all 3 OF spots and has some speed, he may have some value as a 4th OFer one day. I saw he lead off for the AFL final game?

[Ray]

I hope we trade for Profar today.

I don’t even really have a problem with Koehler being tendered if they think he’s worth it. 6M or whatever for a swingman who’s stuff might play up in relief is about the going rate.

[Abomination]

I hope we trade for Profar today.

 

That would be awesome. He's such a perfect fit.

Hmm, I kinda like Lieutenant Rowly. Age vs level for him is kinda screwed up because he missed so much development time.

[Grant77]

I'm on the fence about it, but won't be upset if they tender him. He looked good in the 17 inning sample here, but still had a FIP over 6 for the season. I wonder if we could non-tender and re-sign him for less.

[Brownie19]

You know the offseason is slow when we're discussing Tom f***in' Koehler. He's awful. New topic.

[glory]

The Jays traded a cheap asset two years ago so they could pay $4m to Jesse Chavez to serve as a swing man. I think they’ll bring Koehler back. The SP market is trash.

[BTS]

Harold Ramirez and Chris Rowley outrighted.

IMO it'd be a waste of money when other similar (i.e. not very good) relievers like Liriano and Feldman are likely available for cheaper than $6m.

I hope this doesn't mean that Refsnyder is staying.

Ref was just claimed by the Indians. Down to 33 now.

I was worried about Ref staying too. Glad he’s gone.

Rich people problems, number of prospects to hide on the 40 list.
