He has a worse UBR than Albert Pujols, and he’s certainly not slower. You have to think he could improve his decision making on the bases, even if he stays fat as f***.
You're being obtuse. For 5 months of the season owners replace injured players with guys from the waiver wire, because it's very, very difficult to win when you're punting a bunch of counting stats by not using a full roster. Then the game changes entirely in September and injuries hurt teams twice as much because instead of replacing production with lesser production, they're replacing it with literally nothing.
Literally nobody has said they think the Blue Jays will be actively pursuing top FAs this offseason. They're saying they think the Blue Jays should be actively pursuing top FAs this offseason.
He could cut all of those guys and still be working with a 21-man roster, which puts him at a massive disadvantage. The problem is that Giolito, Price, Baez, and Upton are injured and not playing, and should be on the DL. It's stupid.
Holy f***. 4 completely wasted roster spots in the finals. Nothing about Fantrax is as bad as letting stupid s*** like this effect the outcome of the league championship round.
If the Jays punt 2020, it will confirm that Ross Atkins is a beta loser who should be fired immediately. If he even suggests to Mark Shapiro that 2020 will be another non-competitive season, Shapiro should give him an atomic wedgie and send him packing.
And no more tracking picks and prospects on a spreadsheet.
And no more offseason rosters on a spreadsheet.
And no more manual processing of anything.
And a complete record of all trades ever made, without any manual input.
On the other hand, it looks different from Yahoo.
