  1. 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!
  2. Toronto probably sends him to AAA just because they can and it lets them delay any 40 man decision for a couple weeks
  3. Yes it can 97 isn't actually a bad grade for a fastball from a starter workload. Closer to average. I think he needs two versions of the slider though, and he needs to throw it more. Needs a sweeper and a bullet slider. Something like that. The fastball still isn't "good" but it's good enough provided the other parts of the arsenal work.
  4. He hit 100 for Vancouver in September, apparently Not this spring
  5. Maybe you won't care in two months! When Chapman is hitting .190 with average defense
  6. Eric Pardinho is a super sleeper now I guess Was popping 96 today with various pitches. Heard he hit 100 at the end of the season in Vancouver. Can kind of ignore the ERA in the minors since between COVID and TJS he has barely pitched. Could be someone they just jump straight to the MLB pen at any point
  7. Ernie Clement first two whiffs of spring Only took Zach Wheeler to do it. And one of them was a foul tip.
  8. Instantly becomes the most interesting #5 candidate. Once stretched out of course.
  9. Y Rod has good stuff grades!
  10. 2/$34M for a guy with a 1.9 WAR projection And making Sal Frelick learn the infield because they have no money to get a 3B Then JD Davis costs $3M with almost the same projection as Hoskins
  11. This is honestly very cringe There is a whole convoy of you guys who think you're brave contrarians. You say the same s*** and like each other's posts all the time, lmao. Cute little persecution fantasy. Ohhhhh noooo the ivory tower baseball liberals are trying to squash dissent!!!
  12. The entire 3B issue is essentially a player dev issue anyway They don't sign IKF if they have actual confidence in someone like Orelvis or Barger
  13. Plenty more examples of teams misplaying the market Basically every team other than the Cubs and the poor teams f***ed up at least once with an early signing. And the Cubs like to act poor anyway so they probably weren't even being smart
  14. I don't know everyone is obsessed with this. The market cratered. Most teams didn't play it well. The Jays overpaid for a couple players. Neither contract is a huge obstacle or problem. It is what it is Boo hoo, you bunch of f***ing babies Whine about the IKF contract for the next two years, see if it makes you feel better
  15. It's not that bad. There are much worse mistakes to make in baseball than spending $5M too much on KK or $10M too much on Falaffle. Whatever.
  16. Let's not forget that Erin Smudge has an oblique strain or whatever already
  17. The funny thing with Cole is the SPIN The Yankees are trying very hard to avoid the headline of "Gerrit Cole chooses to try rehab route on damaged UCL" I mean mlbtr literally had the headline as something like Gerrit Cole chooses to rehab.... then changed it to something like Cole not recommended for surgery. Ultimately it's the players choice. I bet the doctors saw a UCL stretched like a piece of spaghetti and recommended surgery. Cole probably wants to try rehab and thinks he's Tanaka, thinks he's special.
  18. The "good deal for both teams" platitude applies
  19. Nobody gives a f***, dude You were starting s*** AND cluttering the board AND bringing bad words into view Another comment on this or the mods or anything and you're cooked
  20. bro it's like the dumbest f***ing thing to complain about "can't catch popups behind home plate" it's just, probably not even true just some anecdote stuck in your head because you saw it happen a couple times it's a hard play by the way!!!!!!!!!!! the ball spins like crazy and spirals back towards the infield, catchers miss them frequently
  21. so is a hamate and it notoriously saps raw power for like 12 months
  22. WES PARSONS szzzzzzzzzznnnnnnnnnnnnnn babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Bowden can tag along
  23. Kirk looks locked in though Hopefully Janny Dancin' just misses like, one month and it doesn't even matter because Kirk hits .400 with 7 homers
