  1. He meant league average, but let's be honest - Grichuk has a very flimsy skill set and he's like, one tick of lost bat speed or foot speed away from being literally replacement level. There is no upside anymore. I just don't see it. Hope for 2 WAR and pray he doesn't turn into a total pumpkin at some point.
  2. I think Toronto should front run the league and try to extend Charlie now while he isn't super popular. Classic buy low. Maybe a four year extension would do it?
  3. Toronto has also drafted well recently so a pick from offering Semien a QO seems pretty solid.
  4. I don't think they need any bats. Perhaps just a bench bat with great defensive skills. Relievers might be all they need. Could use one frontline starter of course but those are hard trades to make. Not sure they need to trade for SP depth - kind of depends on Pearson and the health of some other guys going forward.
  5. Not comparable. Without looking, I'm guessing that Yankees team projected poorly and they were full of decrepit old farts. They probably had to retool or risk multiple years of mediocrity. Not the case with Toronto. I mean it depends how they play from here to the deadline. If they tank hard then they should sell, sure.
  6. 2nd best run differential in the division 5th best projected winning percentage in MLB rest of season If you throw in the towel and sell Marcus Semien you're a cuck, lol. This is a buy at the deadline team objectively.
  7. Watching the Adams - McGuire tandem for a while shockingly makes one miss Danny Jansen and his adequate mitt / game calling. Mostly the game calling and rapport with the pitchers.
  8. Delusional? The team is full of talent and projected / projects well. You sound like a jaded Leafs fan
  9. You don't sign George Springer because you are in asset collection mode. They'll be looking to buy at the deadline unless they go on a massive losing streak soon
  10. They are a few games back of a playoff spot right now and trying to win this year, lol. He's not getting traded unless they lose like twenty in a row right now
  11. Really bad time to trade Gurriel and nobody wants Grichuk. But I would imagine Toronto will try to trade a catcher for controllable, good pitching. Probably Riley Adams
  12. The obsession with Charlie Montoyo's emotions is a bit much. As much as you guys want to see him red faced and screaming, him getting angry probably doesn't help the team win. It's kind of an infantile form of leadership anyway. You could make a contrary argument that would be just as reasonable, actually. How about having someone in charge who doesn't get rattled by bad luck and the stuff he cannot control? That's a good thing. There's merit to Charlie's approach.
  13. uhhhhh you are completely backwards and wrong, wow
  14. Yeah he should be shut down and then progress through a throwing program.
  15. Sad but perfectly valid comparison. Pillar is probably better than Grichuk, all things considered. Bad contract!
  16. Grichuk f***ing sucks. I mean, he's a league average player at best and he just is what he is. It was and is so cringey to see Buck and Tabby lick his glutes every time he awkwardly / accidentally punches a ball 80 mph to right field, beating the shift for a single. Yeah right, he's worked so hard and changed his whole approach!
  17. Stripling is one of the veterans. He is the clubhouse. And he held himself accountable apparently
  18. I don't think it's a big overpay. Turner is pretty old but Gorman is just a good prospect
  19. When Springer comes back the offense is going to be insane. It will win them so many games on its own. Stripling will be 10-0 in the second half
  20. No, they have been very unlucky in the win column. They probably deserve 3 or 4 more wins based on run diff
  21. Go to the pen - f***ed. Leave the SP in - f***ed. Chuckles can't win
  22. ???? Panik actually needed to show LESS intensity on they play. He needed to relaxxxxx
  23. "The actual dudes who play the game who are clearly the ones who understand the impact the most" On balance the hitters will approve of these changes. It was like two days ago that Donaldson was almost exasperated about the problem.
  24. If someone posts a moronic baseball opinion then you can call them a moron. We have a long and proud history of this. And yes, the mods all get special treatment. Other than Deadpool. He's on thin ice.
