    Nah this is agent f***ery. I am 80% sure.
  2. Laika
    I do think all things considered this is a small upgrade so it was worth doing Being said, they could flip Tapia. Some old school team might give up a prospect for him. He is fast fast fast and he was a fringe elite prospect.
  3. Laika
    If anything Tapia's use might include a higher proportion of baserunning because he's not in the top 3 in Toronto. So he'll be pinch running a lot.
  4. Laika
    I don't think Tapia is a downgrade on Grichuk. At least not obviously. Yeah projections are a bit higher for Grichuk but look at the age gap and the last two seasons; Tapia 1.2 fWAR in about 730 PA and Grichuk 0.9 fWAR in about 770 PA. Possible Jays internal numbers have Tapia is an upgrade.

    Against RHP Greg Bird DH Kirk C Against LHP Kirk DH Jansen C ofc Jansen has to play sometimes against righties
  6. Laika
    I think it would more likely be Tapia and/or one of the other outfielders on the depth chart like Mallex Smith or Palacios or Chavez Young or whichever one of them can handle centre.

    So he's gonna be like that little cheating f*** in Houston, got it.

    Grichuk was also not someone who could play CF everyday. Not a complete disaster but his UZR/150 there last couple years was -11 and -6. He's a corner OF. Tapia might be the same in CF as Grichuck due to raw speed, but worse on the corners because Tapia is just a worse instinctual outfielder.
  9. Laika
    lmfao this is amazing Tapia is not an improvement on Grichuk at all but might fit the roster better and he could, maybe, just maybe, have some untapped potential? Maybe some better coaching can help him access a bit more power. Pinto doesn't seem to crack any prospect lists but his numbers were lofty. 5'8" 2B.

    Probably for an arm. Pablo Lopez?

    We'll see what happens. I'm thinking it won't be that severe. Something might give...

    Who is Charlie Montoya?

    Vlad has only had one good season George Springer can't stay healthy Bo is a bad defender Chapman has a hole in his swing Gurriel was dogshit for most of 2021 Teoscar has a risky profile Second base as a blackhole Jansen can't hit at all Kirk is disgusting Ryu is cooked Gausman is overpaid and will get nuked in the AL East again Berrios is an SP3 Kikuchi will have a 5.00 ERA Manoah is fat and overrated Pearson can't throw strikes and won't stay healthy Romano is worse than Parmesan The rest of the bullpen is mediocre or risky Moreno is a catcher, they never come up and do well right away The manager sucks Covid19 and Canadian politics will ruin the season at some point You still have to listen to Buck Martinez

    I think it's more about the product than anything Raptors have now been good for quite a while and won a championship The Jays were an awful product for the late 90s, entire 2000s, and the first half of the 2010s. Even the competitive Bautista et al. teams were fleeting geezers. Just now, with Vlad and co., the Jays might be putting together the type of exciting sustained winner that gets young new fans in the fold.

    Other reward - goodwill towards an extension if he puts up crazy numbers

    Dude has been hurt 42 times and is jumping into walls in spring training?

    what is going on here?
  20. Laika
    but he knows nothing about prospects like, Grant77 with a ham radio could scout better than Keegan. All due respect to Keegs. don't Jon Mayo and friends do these mlb.com rankings?
  21. Laika
    wow, sick
  22. Laika
    Yeah he was in the lineup 2 days ago. Had a gaffe in RF and a couple strikeouts
  23. Laika
    Why is Keegan Matheson ranking prospects?
  24. Laika
    amazing
  25. Laika
    I think it's more about demographics than marketing intent. The Jays have a lot of older fans (not kidding, my grandma loves them) and the Raps have a lot of young fans and immigrant family fans. Give it 20 years and the Raps will not be so regional.
