    Funny, Eno Sarris has Bowden Francis ahead of Berrios and Scherzer in his rest of season pitcher rankings https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6375745/2025/06/03/sarris-mlb-starting-pitcher-rankings-rest-of-2025-season/

    Soroka is a nice trade target Sandy Alcantara would be a neat buy-low Those are probably my favourite 2 options from teams who will obviously sell That + the idea of plucking a Rockies SP for free and instantly fixing them

    Can the Jays score 8+ runs today?
  5. Laika
    what is the point of letting connorp post at all?

    Kirk is the obvious one. Clear #2 C in the AL. You can make a decent argument for Gausman and Bassitt - 14th and 17th in AL SP fWAR with ERAs under 4; 9th and 16th in FIP; Bassit tied for 4th most Wins. Brendon Little is the dark horse All Star candidate. 5th best qualified ERA with tons of whiffs and 10 holds. Vlad doesn't quite deserve it this year. Same for Ernie. Both could slide in if guys above them in production cannot play, though. Vlad might just make it because Vlad.

    too bad the hockey and ball games start at the same time. better when they are staggered by an hour at least. Minnesota people like hockey too. Maybe we can all agree to slide the game up to 6 Eastern?

    who is on the bump?

    B******* must not want to pitch the 7th with how he is doing this inning.

    They just told Walker they might use him in high leverage so he felt better about getting demoted to the pen Dude is cooked and would have been out of MLB after 2024 if not for his contract. Getting lucky somehow this year, though. He might be better than Bowden Francis actually.

    lol 7 pitch inning from C Bass salt the wound!

    Jesus Luzardo is still an Oakland Athletic at heart, I guess

    Paningo doesn't have good projections yet. The Jays must have unlocked something because his track record is mediocre at best. Year - MiLB wRC+ 2025 - 173 2024 - 111 2023 - 87 2022 - 90 2021 - 97 dude toiled in high A for two full season plus over 100 PA in two other seasons

    I thought Romano's stuff looked pretty good. Really just the one mistake pitch to end the game, didn't get that fastball high enough. Since April 10th he has a 3.40 xFIP and 24 Ks in 18.2 innings He's having the Jeff Hoffman season, sort of, just to a worse degree
  16. Laika
    Amazing news. Should add 1 WAR to all Alejandro Kirk projections
  17. Laika
    Shrek and Flamingo are beasting this year. Will Robertson having a good one. Old guy. Roden was wrecking AAA after his demotion. Clement and Barger excelling in MLB. I've never heard of Ryan McCarty but I see numbers. Clase and Loperfido, Jimenez and Schneider, Tirotta and Nunez, all treading water at least, Waves of prospects was not a lie. Now do some pitchers.
  18. Laika
    Macko is healthy? That's great news.
  19. Laika
    Yeah it seems to me that the Lauer/Schultz tandem is probably already better than Francis, so he's the SP5. I don't really agree with Jonah Birenbaum. I don't see an arsenal that plays up much in the pen. Last year, he was a fringe FB guy with two decent secondaries and good command - that is a starter package more than a reliever package. If he was like, 94-95 right now and you could imagine it playing up to 98+ in the pen, then sure do it. But he's going to be a reliever throwing 94/95 just like very other RHRP. Would prefer to let him tinker with grips in AAA. Jays need the SP depth anyway.
  20. Laika
    unless of course the strategy this year is "pray for Alek Manoah and Max Scherzer to get healthy and not suck" in which case good luck Ross

    Bowden Francis has -0.7 fWAR, horrible peripherals everywhere, and his Stuff+ has cratered to 93. His breaking ball and splitter have become below average pitches over the offseason. I don't think the team can justify giving him any more turns in the rotation. He does have an option left. Problem is there is nobody to call up. Easton Lucas is getting hammered now in AAA. CJ Van Eyk and Lazaro Estrada are the only AAA or AA SP who have even remotely okay K-BB rates. Michael Dominguez in AA is only a 3 inning "SP". All the good SP prospects are too far away. Yesavage, Stephen, Stanifer, Watts-Brown. Could Lazaro Estrada be better than Francis? Time for a trade.
  22. Laika
    Kasevich, Paningo, Robertson, Jimenez - four AAA bats that some other team, somewhere, probably values.
  23. Laika
    Hey, Joey Loperfido + Will Wagner landed Yusei Kikuchi recently! They could probably find some crusty veteran who is very much on the block and would be better than Bowden Francis, who probably is not actually an MLB starter if LHB hit him like this.
  24. Laika
    Gotta do something about Francis, he's an auto-loss against many teams
  25. Laika
    Soto has 1 WAR through 264 PA uh oh Mets!
