[connorp]

Contest idea:

 

Should be like a 10-15 answer questionnaire with Over/unders with Jays players, recent ex-players like Semien and Ray maybe, team wins etc

 

Winner gets crown under their Avatar and “Most Knowledgable Jay fan”

I wouldn't call these bold, it's happening!

[Dick_Pole]

Guerrero 60+ HR.

Jays will set the MLB record for HR in a season.

Jays will score 1,000 runs this season.

Jays will score 200 runs against the Red Sox and sweep all 19 games.

Jays will surpass .500 all time as a franchise this year (currently 3506-3557).

Manoah will be a Cy Young candidate.

Three Jays pitchers will be in the top 5 in pitcher wins.

So 150-12 record?

[Stangstag]

Danny Jansen ends the season with a higher wRC+ than Alejandro Kirk

 

The Jays entire starting rotation has a sub 4 ERA

[Jonn]

I honestly want to think this could be the first Blue Jays to win 100+ games but the bullpen remains a massive question mark. I trust maybe four guys.

[Spanky__99]

It's bold, eeyore. We know you can't comprehend this...

[Spanky__99]

Which 4 guys?

[Stangstag]

Which 4 guys?

 

I’d guess Romano, Cimber, Richards, Mayza?

[WryNGinger]

Springer, Vladdy, Chapman and Bichette are top 10 in mvp voting at the end of the year.

 

Manoah, Berrios and Gausman all finish top 8 in Cy Young voting with Berrios winning.

[Spanky__99]

I’d guess Romano, Cimber, Richards, Mayza?

 

I'm fine with Garcia also, decent pen. I see some Pearson/Stripling piggyback starts in April, too.

[mtljaysfan]

Merryweather, Pearson stay off IL all year long, and with Romano they form a 3-headed monster, closing 95 games.

[leaffie]

Jays play in world series

[Angrioter]

Espinal will play more games at 2B than Biggio.

[Dick_Pole]

So 150-12 record?

 

More like 110ish wins. I don't expect the pitching to be particularly good. But they will exist long enough to be carried by the offense. BP is going to be a non-issue most nights.

 

As long as they molest Boston in hilarious fashion as I expect them to, I'll be satisfied.
