  1. OK, let's look at some payroll numbers: 2016 = 152M (9th) 2017 = 176M (7th) 2018 = 151M (11th) The idea that this team is going to be limited by payroll is not realistic. We had a very large payroll during the short competitive window, with Martin, Reyes, and Tulo all acquired on massive free agent contracts. Assuming Rogers will allow the team to once again have a top 10 payroll when it's time to compete, we can stop pretending that that we're a mickey mouse organization that can't play at the top end of the free agent market. There's no reason why the team can't go get an ace on the market, aside from risk aversion from management.
  2. Yeah, assuming Cole is healthy all year and this team can go to 160M or so I’d give Cole the Greinke deal and be pretty excited about it. He’ll be 29 and he’s a super-elite top-5 arm who has been very durable.
  3. Who knows?! Seems like if the important young guys (Vlad, Biggio, Jansen) push a bit in the second half Toronto should probably be willing to outbid almost anyone else for his services.
  4. The list of tragedies that has befallen your DDL team this year is honestly hilarious. Almost every player you own has either been seriously injured, forgotten how to play baseball, assaulted a woman, or done several of those things.
  5. There isn't a better fit on the FA market than Gerrit Cole. Something like 6/210 would be amazing. Cole Stroman Thornton Shoemaker Borucki/Pearson/Waguespack/SRF/Paulino Legit AF. Get it done Shatkins.
  6. Anyone else not realize Mikolas sits 94? I just looked at his FG page and expected his average fastball to be like 90.
  7. I've watched like 5 Merrill Kelly starts. I don't look back fondly on those hours.
  8. Odubel Herrera has been arrested and charged with domestic violence. Never trust a man who dyes his hair or beard gold.
  9. Bellinger is better than Harper. He projects better offensively, he runs the bases better, and he plays gold glove caliber defense at OF and 1B while Harper is average.

    Pretty sure absolutely nothing will come from this other than him having to issue a statement to appease any busybodies who care about this for some reason.
  11. I get that the poll is 'assuming healthy', but I don't understand people saying Borucki has the higher floor. This is going to be his 3rd season all/mostly wiped out due to injury since being drafted. You can't separate him from the massive question marks about his arm durability.
  12. Kershaw. Two years younger, and more valuable last year and this year.
  13. This makes sense when you consider the fact that Buck and Pat are morons.
  14. This is what, the third time this year he leaves early because of blisters?
  15. I wonder how much not stressing out about playing the infield has helped. Hopefully they leave him where he is.
  16. lol, yeah I was going to say that. Like, if he can give you 100 innings in 2020, why have them at AAA?
  17. Our bats are sitting at -0.6 fWAR for the season.
  18. Did everyone enjoy the Ryan Feierabend era?
  19. You do not have s powerhouse roster Jim
  20. It feels like Toronto must place immense value on Luciano in order to do what they’re doing. And they’ve already displayed to KC that they’re willing to carry him on the 25-man. Seems like there should be a deal to be made: KC would be motivated to get something instead of nothing, and Toronto would be motivated to let what they clearly see as a very valuable asset develop properly at the cost of an asset of lesser value. I wonder which of two things is closer to true: KC is stubbornly refusing to talk and is turning down an asset out of principle, or Atkins prefers to keep Luciano on the 25-man than give up a lesser piece to move him to the minors.
  21. f*** yes. Everything about Biggio seems legit, and it will be fun to see him.
