General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

[Deadpool]

we downgraded our Rogers pkg and gone to Ignite this week. Saved 460 or so but with upgraded sports pkg the net savings was about 220 with all SN and TSN channels with some ESPN

 

I haven't had cable/satellite in over a decade, just a few streaming services and a couple of buddies with solid PLEX servers.

I'm temped to post some awful pretend pic of what Kirk might look like now but I won't. Even though there are loads of good options on Google image search.

I found this one of him having a nice low-carb pre-game snack.

Zips has never been a good projection system in my opinion.

 

I feel the same.

Doubt Kirk will ever be that fit again tho

That's the kind of body shape a guy has to really commit to losing, it's not something he can just try to do over the offseason and call good enough, it's a continual long term process. I know as i'm still working through mine.

MOE IMPORTANTLY I hope Vladdy comes in a couple biscuits less then he was last season.

[Spanky99]

Nice slate of ST games being broadcast too. Last few years most of the broadcasts were just weekends.

 

Started last year.

Terminator's going to report ya'll for fat shaming the Captain.

I hope so

[Dick_Pole]

Even if Kirk was 120 pounds, he'd still look funny running and be a slow runner because of his munchkin legs. That's just who he is. Let's all be grateful that the Jays found a way around the Eddie Gaedel rule.

So many insensitive posters. Do you guys realize how much weight people put on when they're expecting a child?!?!?

A proper father supports the mother by joining in the seefood diet where you see food and eat it.

Bo Bichette’s with the Blue Jays is $33.6m guaranteed for three years, source tells @TheAthletic. No options. Escalators and awards can bring three-year total to as much as $40.65M.

Really want to see the breakdown here. 33.6 seems like slightly less than he would get if he went year to year and kept up his current trajectory, but the 40 million high end seems higher.

Yeah, have to imagine those bonus numbers will be high, but reachable for Bo.

Wonder what the Gold Glove bonus is...

[G-Snarls]

100..... trillion... dollars!!!!!

 

[Key22]

Be careful with the bonuses guys - Jeter won 5 Gold Gloves.

[Jonn]

Should Bo being playing Second Base yes. Is he nearly as bad at Shortstop as some of you make him out to be f*** no.

 

Bo is severely taken for granted by this fan base and you won’t realize it until he’s gone and Otto Lopez is your SS.

Where do you rank Bo defensively as a SS, compared to other starting SS in MLB?

He’s probably middle of the pack maybe high teens. I don’t think he’s a great Shortstop. But I also don’t think liability there either. As long as he doesn’t try to kill an Outfielder this season chasing a ball into the Outfield we should be fine.

Hard to see that.

Look up shortstops with 450+ PA.

Bo might be like... 20th best defensively. Even if you put him ahead of say Correa and IKF he's barely top 20.
