    Yeah I would be tempted to do something similar. I dunno about the conditioning and weighted ball stuff - that is offseason work. But I think a mental break is in order (no pitching, just light tossing) and then some time just doing mechanical work and drills.

    Just send Manoah down and call up Francis if he is healthy. If he's not, call up Kloffenstein. Easy decision. Why is everyone even complaining about depth? Ryu is coming back, Tieds will be back, Francis is throwing okay in limited innings, Kloffenstein in AA is doing very well. The Jays are okay, maybe, if they need a long term promotion or two. And if they need a spot start or bullpen game they have all those shittier names... along with potential interesting bullpen game options in Pearson/Richards/Zulueta/Juenger etc. They could probably ask Richards + Pearson for 5 innings in replace of Manoah's next start, if they want.

    I doubt that the quality of arms in AAA/AA has anything to do with the decision on sending down Manoah. I would guarantee that said decision has been 100% about Manoah.

    Same story as last year. You cannot assemble SP depth season-to-season. The only way to assemble quality SP depth is to be overflowing with viable SP prospects in the upper minors so that you tend to have one healthy and throwing well when you need them. But I wouldn't start complaining about the "what ifs" until they happen. Yes Manoah sucks and should be demoted. But the Jays SP strategy for depth also relies a lot on just riding their horses who have track records of health. Maybe they think their starting five have a high chance of staying healthy. Maybe the team is right about that.

    You're not wrong. If we are being honest it's mostly connorp and jim. A few other people who can't help themselves are culpable, myself included, and terminator/jaysblue/deadpool/L54/spanky, various others... then there are the trolls that come and go... but most of the worthless back and forth has connorp or jim on one or both sides of it.

    You don't care about average EV when thinking about tools. Varsho's maxEV is 83rd percentile that means minor improvements in bat path should = large improvements in game power the version of Varsho we have seen is flawed and playing a sub-optimal position most nights. no argument there. he needs to figure something else out at the plate, and he will be a better player when he is a full time CF.

    I dunno. Could be a lot of "minor league" extra base hits in there.
  11. Laika
    pretty low

    I don't see the problem The trade was horrendous and now it's amazing. That can happen in baseball. It's a weird game!

    If they really want to attribute Wins in an old school way it really shouldn't be binary. Like if the team won and you pitched you get a fraction of a win based on the innings you pitched. If the team lost and you gave up runs you get a fraction of a loss based on how many of the runs you surrendered.

    That can't be true. He looked putrid for all of April. He ended April in an 0-14 (including May 1) and through May 1 hit .161/.235/.274 with a 44.1% K rate May 2 to present he has hit .342/.484/.534

    lack of tools you can only be so good when you never barrel the ball, never walk, and have middling raw power

    I don't get it

    Varsho is one tweak away. He is making more contact than ever and displaying his plus power and speed, consistently. Moreno is like... absolutely maxing out his physical talents and he still can't really hit enough. .282 with a .336 BABIP and he is at this level. Just no juice in that body, whatsoever.

    lil' Gabby Moreno now has a putrid .688 OPS and only 0.3 fWAR a replacement level season is in the realm of possibilities he is a surprisingly bad baserunner!? good trade remains good, I never doubted it

    Can't recall a player ever looking as bad as Belt did for the first six weeks or so, and that player being able to turn it around

    statcast doesn't account for VERTICAL difficulty
