2022 Blue Jays Post Season Discussion Thread!

[John_Havok]

Utterly meaningless sample size. I would be willing to bet a fairly decent amount (if i could afford to...) that Tapia will be basically useless in this series.

 

Man I hate being this right

He’s still a good player but if you found a taker for the remaining 4 years of Springer’s deal, do you pull the trigger? I say yes.

 

Nah, Springer is the type of player this young team needs. As long as he's producing 4-5 WAR per season, he's valuable. It's going to be tough signing another player of his caliber in free agency as well.

 

Blue Jays FO should look to move Springer to a corner like RF perhaps next season while DHing him 30% of the time. Go after a defensive minded CF through free agency or trade.

Agree here. Need a young JBJ type player.

What even happened to Springer? Concussed?

Yeah I want updates

Was taking Whit out of LF cause he was concussed too? I missed the reason, I think they said it was precautionary.

After having a couple days to absorb the brutal weekend some things that stood out...

 

1. Cal Raleigh - Never heard much about him until the last week. 27 homers in 375 at bats, 48 of his 78 hits went for extra bases. Despite hitting .211 his numbers in the minors indicate he isn't a .211 hitter. .320 hitter in aaa with excellent k-rate. He was in every Seattle rally in the series. Every single one. Homer 1st inning of game 1. Single 6th inning rally game 2. Single 8th inning rally game 2. Double and scored winning run.

 

2. Todd Frazier - got a couple of big hits. He may not be all that, but he is also not really a .230 hitter.

 

3. Goerge Kirby - got the save in a 1 run game, came out throwing 98 looking like a closer. He was Seattle's 4th starter. Seattle's rotation is like if Pearson and Berrios had worked out in 2022. Imagine Berrios had a normal year for him and was the third starter, and Pearson pitched 130 good innings, was obviously the 4th starter and able to come out of the bullpen.

The ToddFather still plays, wow, never knew...

Adam Frazier... yikes. Brain cramp. I think Adam Frazier was a guy people on the board wanted a year or two ago.

I liked him a few years back, but he hadn't made the jump, useful player though.
