What did you give up for him? I remember him belonging to Nomar Comin’

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)
BTS replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Position players don’t really return much at the deadline recently. It’s not clear that the return would be better than the comp pick. -
I was thinking this a few days ago when looking at the leaderboards. If Ohtani keeps up what he's doing he's going to win the MVP even if he's multiple WAR behind Vlad.
-
DeGrom MRI came back clean. I wonder how the Mets handle this. He's recently missed time/left starts with a lat issue, elbow issue, and shoulder issue. Feels like he should be shut down for a few weeks regardless of what the MRIs are showing.

This has probably been posted, but: -
I've never pitched. Is it fair to say he means that he can't grip/control the ball while throwing a 99 mph fastball and 90 mph changeup and slider? What if everything was 4-5 mph slower?
-
My god Gerrit Cole is annoying.
-
I wonder if we’ll see k rates decline for the first time in forever.
-
DeGrom injured and I'm getting absolutely dusted by Dinger. I'm having a real bad time.
-
I wonder what the Rays are waiting on with Wander Franco now that they have their year of control and Super 2 has passed.
-
Yeah. If Glasnow has to “choke the s*** out of the ball” to the point where his UCL snaps after 50 pitches to get results without cheating, then he’s just not that good.
-
I don't believe that his elbow would still be intact today if MLB had allowed him to continue cheating.
-
Interesting that they've been pretty close to identically valuable. I kept Clev until his arm exploded then flipped him (and Alex Canario) to Spanky for Logan Gilbert and Yarbrough.
-
I remember watching him as a Pirate and he had no idea where any of his pitches were going. He's been lights out ever since he figured out how to locate that fastball. He can basically throw 97-98 at the knees for strike 1 with his eyes closed at this point, and it sets up everything else.
-
I think you've already won that regardless of what Glasnow does going forward.
-
Shame about Glasnow. He was having CY caliber seasons in 2019 and 2021 when he went down. Feels like his arm isn't going to let him put a full healthy season together.
-
Bellinger likely going back to the IL. Better reconsider those offers Jimbo.
-
And Glasnow just pulled after 53 pitches. Bad day for aces.
-
Imagine how bad Edwin Jackson would have been without cheating.
-
Spanky with the shrewd buy. Ya’ll done goofed.
-
f*** that.
-
I bit surprised at the lack of interest. I have to make a drop tomorrow, so a 6 -> 5 pick upgrade gets Bender or Lucchesi.
-
What's Vlad's actual offensive level going forward? If he's a 200 wRC+ bat, then he's the most valuable player in baseball, clearly. If he's Mike Trout (say 170) you probably take him over the other three guys. If he's any less than Mike Trout offensively (say 150-165 range) I'll take the others. Soto had a 201 wRC+ and 0.474 xwOBA in 196 PA last year, and now he's back to hitting the ball on the ground. That's just such an insane level to maintain over the long term. If I'm starting a team, I'm not counting on Vlad being a Trout level hitter over the next 6 years, and I'm slotting him under the guys with a longer track record and a wider skill set. I do think there's clearly a 4-player tier at the top with a significant gap between them and the next handful of players though. Ohtani maybe being the only exception, but his durability is a real concern.

Anthony Bender available for a pick upgrade. He's been excellent, and has 3 holds in 16 games as a SP/RP. Could also move Joey Lucchesi or Colin McHugh.
