This is so bizarre

but what do you do? they are kind of married to their core i always thought they should have let Nylander walk

Hard to believe he has zero walks. Seems like he has been all over the place. I think it's very hard for an MLB RP to be very good in 2023 while throwing 75% fastballs. I'd love to see the slider show up as a usable/effective pitch.

I kind of doubt that he is throwing 6 distinct pitches immediately after TJS. His old scouting reports don't mention a sinker or cutter. Kind of think these are just misclassifications or inconsistency on his FB or SL

It's funny. Make smart posts for a long time and people start to sort of respect you. You should try it

You can do most of what they did without being horrible for years. Yeah, you are never drafting a Jackson Holliday but... Gunnar Henderson was picked 42nd overall. Grayson was 11th. And you can try to sign the international version of Jackson Holliday still...

That's the only advantage Toronto has and it's short term. Baltimore chose not to invest in the big club this year so their MLB talent didn't project as well as Toronto's for 2023. If/when Baltimore doubles that payroll... yikes.

Unfathomable

Even if you only look at the infield... Baltimore is so far ahead of Toronto that it's terrifying. Gunnar Henderson Jackson Holliday Jordan Westburg Joey Ortiz Coby Mayo Connor Norby And Mateo, Urias, and Frazier who are all playing well on the big club. And it's a similar story in the Outfield and for Pitching. Toronto's infield depth is horrendous in comparison. Bo for a few years, Chapman and Merrifield on walk years, then two useless MLB players in Biggio and Espinal plus the dying hope that was Addison Barger. There is basically nobody else coming. Baltimore has like two Addison Bargers and three prospects better than him.

Shut down with a forearm strain in spring Early May it has now devolved into a degenerative back issue Hahaha

League average ERA is like 4.30 now. I'd take a 4.30 from Bassitt if it comes with 6 innings most of the time.

I'd support it. Atkins is mid. Shapiro is the GOAT but Atkins can be improved upon.

I guess not. Kiriloff might be a bust and Soderstrom will probably only be playable at C

I'd probably give the edge to Bradley since he has already debuted and the stuff clearly plays CES's low walk rates and moderate K rates make him seem sort of risky. Might be more of a .250/.300/.480 hitter or something like that.

Need to take you down a peg

Yeah if Belt looks like this in 2-3 weeks it has to be over.

Mitch White was a pretty interesting commodity when he was on the cusp and breaking into the league. His stuff numbers graded well and he held his own and the Dodgers had a track record for producing those kinds of pitchers. You need to at least understand that as Toronto Blue Jays fans we have only ever seen the absolute worst of Mitch White. And a sample size of suck that borders on meaningless. The trade looks horrible right now but there is still a chance that White is who Toronto thought he was (a viable MLB SP of some caliber) and Frasso is less than that. I guess the outside information that makes people less confident is that this FO does not really have a good track record at identifying and acquiring pitchers like this. Trent Thornton didn't stick, Anthony Kay couldn't figure it out, Thomas Hatch hasn't been able to figure it out... Bowden Francis still has a chance but he was horrendous in AAA last year... Ross Stripling is kind of the only success story when it comes to bringing in a depth SP. And he even sucked for Toronto at first and the credit for Ross Stripling being good for Toronto probably should go to Ross Stripling more than anybody.

guys, don't forget about alex de jesus!!! he is hitting uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .181/.263/.375 in Vancouver

Toronto looks hopeless

Gabriel Moreno has thrown out 70% of base stealers btw

Blue Jays pitchers in Boston https://streamable.com/dqirdx

Grant on suicide watch???

doesn't look good

Jesse Winker has no homeruns, lmao.

His timing is clearly off, and he is not being patient enough, but the measurements for power and batted ball profile and contact are all fine. I think he's perfectly fine and just in big slump. Also, unlucky.
