Yankees win less than 85 games and miss the playoffs.

 

That's it from me.

[John_Havok]

Kikuchi is an All Star in 2023.

[wilko]

Varsho's slash line is .220 / .285 / .389 / .674 with 20 HR. Edited October 3, 2023 by wilko

I like these overall, but I don't like who has to get hurt for Barger to be top 3 in ROY voting.

Biggio? Whit? Barger could replace those guys in case of injury, you never know.

plays around the diamond and steals the 2B job outright in the second half

[Carlos Danger]

Kikuchi is an All Star in 2023.

 

I could see this happening and then him sucking so bad in the 2nd half he loses his rotation spot. A la Seattle 2021

[Krylian]

Berrios outperforms Manoah

Espinal repeats as an All Star

Jays make a big splash at the trade deadline

[G-Snarls]

Bo top 3 in MVP voting

[The_DH]

White goes IL and Pearson makes it and becomes a super long man, making the All Star game.

[Captain_Obvious]

Berrios outperforms Manoah

Espinal repeats as an All Star

Jays make a big splash at the trade deadline

 

I agree with the first two. Will add:

1- Manoah will have a ERA over 4.5

2- Blue Jays will be the worst team in the majors in base running.

3- The Blue Jays will have the best record in the majors.

[Deadpool]

Biggio puts up a > 120 wRC+

 

Otto Lopez puts up a .300 AVG

[Daniel Labude]

2024 prediction

 

Orelvis starting 3B

Barger starting 2B/LF

[Grant77]

Biggio returns to form and makes over 100 starts with a wRC+ over 110.

 

Kiermaier loses his starting job by June and we are forced to make a deadline addition.

 

Kikuchi ends the season with an ERA under 4.

 

Orelvis Martinez is back to being a top 50 prospect by the end of the season.

[Jimcanuck]

Getting this in before Greenwood - Danny Jansen stays injury free, hits 30+ HR, wins Silver Slugger

[Daniel Labude]

1. Jays win the World Series

2. 3 Jays finish top 10 in MVP

3. 2 Jays finish top 10 in Cy Young

4. Pearson has 15+ holds/saves

5. Espinal and Zulueta get traded

[Abomination]

1. Vladdy wins the triple crown
   
2. Matt Chapman hits over .250
   
3. Brandon Belt has an OPS over .900
   
4. Zach Pop is the Jays best reliever
   
5. Kikuchi sticks in the rotation all year and produces over 2.5 WAR
   
6. Merrifield hits over .300
   
7. Tiedemann is on the playoff roster as a reliever
   

[leaffie]

The one prediction that is absolutely correct is the Yankees dont win the division. Jays win walking away and the Yanks have to fight off the Rays for second.

1.Yankees finish below .500 and miss the playoffs

 

2. Jays finish with over 100 wins for the first time in Franchise history.

[Spanky99]

Otto Lopez is top 3 in ROY voting.

 

Trending up ^^^

[Olerud363]

Otto Lopez is top 3 in ROY voting.

 

Otto Lopez is interesting. A better minor league hitter and faster than Espinal, so if he adjusted to the majors as well as Espinal did in 2021 he'd have a great year (though not sure how he gets the apr. 145 games he'd need to content for ROY).

If he got 120 games after an injury or something like that and he went off then maybe.

Replace your Berrios prediction,and replace it with Chapman demoted to the minors.

[gruber92]

Schneider does something crazy on the personal side that promotes Mattingly as acting manager.

 

Mattingly sticks as manager. Rivera and Martinez are instantly fired in the off season.
