Jays win 88 games. They grab one of the wild card spots.

Scherzer wins the AL Cy Young

Vladdy hits 60 HR's

Hoffman saves 40 games

Santander doesn't live up to the hype: hits under 30 HR's and bats .220

Bo wins the batting title, and has a 30/30 season.

Yariel Rodriguez posts a 2 WAR season out of the pen. 

Bowden Francis only makes 20 starts and has an ERA above 4. 

Varsho has a "Brent Rooker" type breakout.

Not sure what kind of implosion you're envisioning out of the rest of the players if any number of these predictions come true but the Jays only win 88 games as a result lol.

[Eat My Shatkins]

BOLD predictions? 

1. Jays win 100 games

2. Vlad/Bo/Giminez/Varsho/Santander/Kirk all have 3.5+ fWAR and combine for 25-30 fWAR

3. Gausman, Scherzer and Francis all pitch 130+ innings and have ERA's below 3.20

4. Jays have 8 guys hit 20+ bombs (Bo/Vlad/Taters/Kirk/Springer/Varsho/Orelvis/Barger)

5. Springer kicks father time in the nuts, gets hot at the right time and wins ALCS MVP

6. Jays face the D-backs in the WS

 

Okay, hurt me....

 

[BB17]

Jays win 86 games but miss the postseason

No SP posts over 3 WAR with Francis being out of the rotation by June

Varsho has a wRC+ of less than 90

Barger hits 20 HR

Santander hits 35 HR

Roden is worth 3 WAR and ends up in the leadoff spot

Garcia is the best reliever on team and makes ASG
