  1. I respect that rant a lot It was loose and unhinged but there were many valid points in there
  2. She's powerful and brave And she speaks the truth The dossier on Travis Bower must be very thick and damning
  3. Believe women
  4. Varsho looks INCREDIBLE this spring in every single way
  5. You guys ever smuggled Chalet sauce into Shrimp Fest?
  6. The Holy Trinity: Olive Garden Swiss Chalet Red Lobster
  7. first they came for the Olive Gardens, and we looked away then they came for the Swiss Chalets, and none of us stood up what's next?
  8. He would forfeit his guaranteed salary though. I believe with 3 years of service time he can refuse an outright assignment and become a FA but he forfeits the money. Which would be a win for Toronto, and surprising to see Espinal do.
  9. Ugh then they'd have two of them Limit should be one per team The Jays have zero. Our two best players are stoners (Bo and Goose). And our franchise hitter is Captain TOOTBLAN.
  10. The players to get jettisoned will certainly come from the group of Espinal, Zulueta, Pop, or Little. I feel like Pearson and Danner just have too much upside and are a bit too close to being good to let walk. Zulueta or Pop traded for cash considerations, maybe that happens. I dunno. Zulu for international signing money? He probably has no trade value I guess. Zulu and Pop... the sinker is just out of style and neither of them seems to have a real handle on it.
  11. There is a bull-case for everyone on the 40 man roster. There is also a bear-case. Zulu and Macko are there because they have longer term upside, and had to be added. Every player on the 40 man roster is either a longer term play who had to be added or someone who is on the immediate call up radar. There is literally nobody on the 40 man roster who is not one of those two things. If Toronto had one LHRP then Little would be more important, but they do have two. They also have some non-40 man LHRP behind him.
  12. The third "non-bulk next man up" in AAA is always a DFA candidate because they are fungible John Schneider probably has a nice thing to say about every player in the organization!
  13. Brendon Little is also on the 40
  14. Right, this makes sense. I guess the only reason to not DFA him is "to be nice" or something and deanmike is going to pop in soon and use the term "pseudo-vet treatment"
  15. Just option him? He's still important SS depth even if he costs too much and is worth nothing at the moment. One injury and they would need him up.
  16. I will cry actual tears if they keep Espinal and dump Clement.
  17. Yikes. Well, at least we get the "no structural damage" assurance. Those both sound like IL stints though. Pearson and Pop the obvious make the team candidates.
  18. Damn he might actually be fine
  19. Gausman threw 23 pitches on Friday, apparently. Berrios threw about 80 pitches on Sunday in his 4th ST appearance. Gausman could do something like this: 40 P on Mar 20th 60 P on Mar 25th (last day of spring training) That would set him up for 80 P on his fourth turn, which would be on Saturday or Sunday during the first series of the season in Tampa Bay. White could follow him for 40+ pitches. And then perhaps full go for the Yankee game April 5th. So he could actually not miss a start. But his first regular season start will likely be cut short. And possibly his second; they might not let him throw 100+ pitches. This of course depends on him feeling 100% and his stuff being fine.
  20. Varsho is going to be good this year. Seems like he is going to run more and be more of a put it in play guy, at least in certain counts or matchups. .260/.330/.450 20/30 4.5 WAR
  21. is it a cracked Fire stick or something?
  22. Probably as good as the Phillies You left the Braves out
  23. The lineup is only bad if you are a pessimist / don't believe in the players which... you could say about almost every team. It's natural for Jays fans to be cynical about the offense because of how 2023 went but I still think people are overreacting Everyone who underperformed other than Springer is on the good side of the aging curve. Water flows downhill, young players tend to improve or regress positively. Simple concept!
