[Jimcanuck]

In ALE, 110 wins would be a season for the ages

[Krylian]

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

 

Bold can also mean they don't win 30 games this season.

[Spanky99]

[Eat My Shatkins]

Biggio and Espinal combine for 6 fWAR which is roughly the same as Jose Ramirez

[Spanky99]

Jays play in world series

 

That ain't bold, leaffie, we know this! It's for U!!!

[Spanky99]

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

 

lol...

[Krylian]

Romano gets 0 saves this season because the Jays win all of their games by at least 10 runs.

[Spanky99]

Romano gets 0 saves this season because the Jays win all of their games by at least 10 runs.

 

Woohoo... 110 wins will be easy to make!

[AdamGreenwood]

Kirk and Moreno both get traded mid-season, because Jansen is having too dominant of a year to ever sit.

[guylaroche5]

some combination of groshans, pearson, moreno, martinez are traded by the deadline

[Grant77]

some combination of groshans, pearson, moreno, martinez are traded by the deadline

 

That doesn't strike me as a particularly bold prediction.

[John_Havok]

Grant will admit, at some point during the season, that he was wrong about something.

[Jimcanuck]

Grant will admit, at some point during the season, that he was wrong about something.

 

Now that's bold, really bold

[guylaroche5]

That doesn't strike me as a particularly bold prediction.

 

originally i was gonna say 3/4 get traded but i just can't see it happening, no way shatkins empty the cupboards AA style. anyway point taken, i'm not one for bold takes

[lovemyjays]

Biggio bats sub .200

[Jimcanuck]

Biggio bats sub .200

 

theres a wet blanket thread for this s***

[JFD]

Gurriel Jr emerges as a top 5 LF

[jaysblue]

George Springer becomes a pitcher as well and pitches 60 innings with a sub 1 ERA.

[Dick_Pole]

Biggio bats sub .200

 

theres a wet blanket thread for this s***

 

Biggio bats sub-.200 but his OBP is still somehow .360.

[Olerud363]

Biggio bats sub-.200 but his OBP is still somehow .360.

 

Biggio goes Gallo and breaks Gallo's record for position player WAR hitting < .200 (well not sure if Gallo has the record but had 3.5 WAR last year with .199... anybody with more? Maybe some crazy d catcher or short stop or something)

 

Cavan Biggio

 

.197 148 walks 46 homeruns, defense at second rates unbelievable, 30-1 as a base-stealer with every other base running metric lights out. Ends up with 8.1 WAR.

 

Sees more pitches than any other player in history.

[DigitalRock]

Montoyo surprise announces he is retiring, to spend more time with his new husband, Rafael Dollis.

[mellowgold]

Not that there's anything wrong with that

[Laika]

Jays play in world series

 

What's bold about this? The World Series will be easy to make!

[Grant77]

Grant will admit, at some point during the season, that he was wrong about something.

 

I don't know that I have ever gotten one of these bold predictions correct, but hopefully some day.

[Jimcanuck]

Montoyo surprise announces he is retiring, to spend more time with his new husband, Rafael Dollis.

 

love, love, love this

[Olerud363]

Grant will admit, at some point during the season, that he was wrong about something.

 

Grant will finally decide to announce he was wrong about something and plan to post that Billy McKinney is not the next Justin Upton May 15th.

 

However Billy will find his way to some playing time, get off to a hot start, and Grant will justifiably hold off on that announcement. Billy will be re-acquired by the Jays at the deadline to balance the lineup. His final numbers will be .282 29 83, and that will be close enough to Justin Upton like numbers that Grant will never have to admit he was wrong. Tapia will also be picked off 3 times, once in a key situation also ensuring Grant will never have to admit being wrong about that.
