PED admission 3 time AS and no other hardware vs. Clean Zack 6 time AS Cy Young Gold Gloves Silver Sluggers

you're not getting it
-
You might as well just cut prospects if you intend to make picks and legal up your roster Have to do it soon anyway
-
but nobody wants to cut anybody, lol that's the point
-
Yes but Zack Greinke is not married to Brandy Halladay, that's worth something

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
Laika replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Just realized the Blue Jays have a young nerd on the coaching staff David Howell, headed into his second season on an MLB staff, is just 25 years old. A graduate of the University of Minnesota in 2018, he spent a year as a graduate assistant at LSU before joining the Blue Jays in 2020. He spent that season working with minor league pitchers at the alternate training site and the ’21 campaign at the team’s rookie complex before making the jump to the majors. -
I don't remember how the draft room works I think if your roster is full it will skip you Did we temporarily bump max roster spots last year to run the draft? Does it let you draft players directly to the minors? I feel like we HAVE to raise max roster spots temporarily.
-
I don't know for sure but I don't think you can sign a player directly to the 60 man IL. I think they have to be on your 40 man roster first to be eligible for the 60. So no, I don't think Toronto could have waited a couple weeks to make this official in order to avoid a DFA
-
Jays announced it But are saying two year deal with options for 25 and 26
-
Multiple real reporters have confirmed it
-
damn, later than I thought so a mid-season return is probably too aggressive.
-
Yeah I would imagine he underwent a fairly standard medical + perhaps updated imaging on the elbow so Toronto could get an independent opinion on whether or not the surgery looked perfect.
-
thank you for calling me the smartest guy in the room
-
Technically it just means Toronto waived the condition in the contract that lets them review medicals and spike the deal if they don't like them. It doesn't mean he passed some health benchmark.
-
Good lord you are simple
-
nice!
-
I thought he had early season TJS?
-
wonder if two year deal?

bigger difference is that Manoah also threw like 125 innings in 2019 between College and the pros. That + his age makes any comp to Tiedemann not that appropriate. -
Long career + at his peak he was literally the best P in baseball
-
100% Hall of Fame for Greinke I think his personality helps too. He's... unique.
-
I think this all the time. Competitive balance picks are BS.

Baltimore reached big for Kjerstad (he was more middle 1st in talent) and IIRC used the money for Coby Mayo. In hindsight that was smart because the top of the draft was evidently soft and Mayo is a top 100 or fringe top 100 prospect right now. It basically ended up being a top 7 that draft. Meyer moved up because of talent/stuff popping, Nick Gonzales trended up because of production, and Veen was kind of always in the mix near the top. 2020 draft is the best illustration you can find of why the Cardinals are good. Teams were f***ing up on top picks while they picked Jordan Walker 21st and Tink Hence 63rd. Good f***ing lord. And Alec Burleson 70th. And Masyn Winn 54th. OMFG legendary draft for STL.
-
I bet it's the same dynamic as Wacha Agent trying to push for a bigger contract He's an awkward guy to price. Really nice piece, can play all over, is young, good PD skills with a bit of pop But few teams want to go multiple years on a UTIL piece or bench guy

Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)
Laika replied to Pendleton's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
the other guy like that from that era that comes to mind is Mike McCoy but not sure he overlapped with Rios
