2018 Spring Training Thread

[gruber92]

I had no idea he was so small

 

But he's quick and yes his swing is polished

 

He's listed at 6'0 200. Does he look smaller than that in person?

[TBJ12]

OK so trade JD alone for prospects, find some filler for 3B then

 

With the FA market pricing this, it makes some sense to tap into it, as others have pointed out

You suggested we trade JD and pay Moose. It makes zero f***ing sense Jim.

Never thought I'd post another personal pic on this MB but it's too funny not to share

 

Actual conversation during this picture

 

G-Snarls: "John, thanks for the picture, I'm a big fan"

 

Gibby: "You're welcome. Watch out though, I don't wanna make you look bad in it"

 

G-Snarls: "Yeah, weren't you named sexiest manager in the MLB last year or somthing?"

 

Gibby: "Get out of here" laughing

 

True story

 

Wow lmfao

 

I think Gibby is my favourite person in baseball

[Jimcanuck]

need to trade JD for prospects to complement the big 3, sign Moose for 3B and DH when Vlad comes up

 

Man, trading 1 year of JD for a couple of good prospects and signing Moose for 1 year at $6.5M would have been great

 

Frees up money to get Cobb too

 

And leaves door open to sign JD after 2018

[G-Snarls]

He's listed at 6'0 200. Does he look smaller than that in person?

 

I sure thought so

 

Though he was often near Vlad, Pentecost and Alford

A decidedly more big-league lineup for the Blue Jays today

Yes he does. I thought the same at the game.

Excellent article on Moose

[Orgfiller]

Seriously fangraphs' constant redirect ads are a big problem. Can't even check out a guys' player page without it happening, they're going to be losing a lot of readers (more than they've already been) if this doesn't change.

MLB needs to do away with penalties and compensation attached to free agents.

Gibby is the man!

[G-Snarls]

Gibby is the man!

 

If I'd have tried the same with, say, Buck Showalter, he would probably have had me ejected from the park

 

He was peacocking around like it was a playoff game while Gibby was just chilling and talking with everyone

Clippard 3 up 3 down 2 swinging K's.

Blue Jays beat the Orioles 8-5 in Dunedin. Devon Travis and Kendrys Morales went deep, Marco Estrada allowed a run in 4 IP with no walks and 2 K's while Tyler Clippard and Roberto Osuna tossed scoreless innings.

[Spanky99]

Mayza got Rekt today!

[Ray]

Despite our record, and despite Spring Training not really being indicative of much, I really do think we've got a good shot at that wildcard. Well rounded lineup. Well rounded rotation. Just looks like a good team overall with really good depth in the minors.

of course he does, but this is a blue jays discussion board.... where ideas get thrown about, just like the above post

 

if you don't like what i write, too f***ing bad
