DWJ can hit at the major league level. Buck told me.

Another bad throw for Gurriel... tough error for Galvis

And we somehow couldn’t even make a 25 man roster spot for him?

Dwight Smith Jr. is not better than anyone in our outfield, 16 PAs be damned.

I think he is better then McKinney for sure, Pillar or Mirage maybe, Grichuk no.

Lol @ DSJ being better than McKinney for sure. He probably doesn't have a single tool which is superior, and there's a two year age gap. DSJ is a very mediocre player.

You guys are just getting trolled, why bother.

DSJ has carried better BB and K rates for some time, and better defensively than McKinney. Not enough of a clear gap between the two of them to call one better than the other, as Tercet did.

[BlueRocky]

I wouldn’t jeopardize McKinney’s playing time to add DSJ, but Pillar I think should’ve been gone already. Let’s be real, there’s no chance he’s here for the next competitive window and he’s already in decline.

 

I’m not completely sold on Teoscar and think Teo/DSJ/McKinney could’ve timeshared LF/RF/DH while Grichuk move to CF if Pillar was moved.

 

Either way debating now is pointless since Atkins already decided to move on from DSJ but it’s clear our offense is anemic to start the season and could use some help.

[P2F]

Jays just picked up Socrates Brito for some reason.

To replace Alford at AAA.

I just realized our active rosters payroll was 56 million, third lowest in the league. Any ideas what big name free agents the FO is likely to pursue in the next couple years ?

Would love to see them go after Gerrit Cole next year

[L54]

Guys I’d throw money at:

 

Anthony Rendon

Gerrit Cole

Adam Eaton

Nicholas Castellanos

Marcell Ozuna

 

Quite a few interesting RP’s too. Jays will probably end up with Nick Markakis and Kyle Gibson next year though.

Is that you Buck?

[L54]

No it’s not, but this is exactly why he would be a target. He’s quietly become a great hitter and probably doesn’t take a boatload of cash to lock up. Rotate him through 1B/OF/DH

Bad players on bad contracts, with prospects included in the deal.

I really believe it is!

We're paying almost as much on players to not play for us as we are for those who are playing for us.

[Spanky99]

The lack of flinching at balls flying at her face leads me to believe that she was a real slut back in her hay day.

One of these guys is not like the others ...

When is the earliest Vlad could get called up?

He's rehabbing, when he's ready it should be around the time that we'll get that extra year.

Does pretty much every casual fan know about Vlad?

Talked with two low end of casual fans today who had no idea who he was.

Well f***

 

He might not sell that many seats

 

Buck needs to build it up for his callup
