  1. Olson profile is just completely different. He lacks the hit tool Vlad has.
  2. Admittedly, his market isn’t set just yet. When I’m saying what I’m saying, I’m assuming he’s going to be .900 OPS. If he does the waffling thing, it’s obviously going to make it a different story
  3. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Vlad signs a 13 to 14 year deal. Teams are circumventing aav increase like nba and nfl by extending years that they consider a loss
  4. Terrible comps. Hosmer and Davis? Freeman was 32. Prince is a good comp but a decade ago and that was a rare degenerative thing that made it bad.
  5. What kind of contract do you think Varsho signs if FA was today?
  6. Maybe you guys think you’re smarter than the market. Do you think the team signing Bogey to a 10 year deal when he’s 30 is thinking he’s going to provide + defensive value when he’s 35-36? And how’s he going to be hitting? The market is the market. Vlad is getting at least 10 years. If you don’t like it, find a corner to cry in and hope the Jays don’t pay it. Someone will.
  7. Ah Bigot. When you call me “Achmed”, that must be a term of endearment.
  8. Well, at least you don’t have to worry about getting banned for what you say to him. Not after that memo that was distributed to the mods earlier this year, detailing the DEI initiative not to single out handicapped people for bans.
  9. I mean, he gets banned lol
  10. You guys don’t know sheet. That’s why I was always a step ahead of everyone in fantasy. I just liked rebuilding more than winning for a bit
  11. Harper is the Comp. He got paid even though it was well known he was a DH in the near future. If they provide clear negative defense, what does it even matter what position they play? You should subtract for that bad defense. Harper has the same 1-1 type pedigree. Olson is a 40fv overachiever that hit .195 the year before FA. He’s not the pacemaker for Vlad. It will depend a lot on how Vlad finishes the year
  12. He’s not signing for $25m/yr. He’s not 31 I’d fire your ass.
  13. His check is guaranteed. Doesn’t sound like he’d be too worried if this year was cut short. I wonder if he can take his family to Disneyworld without anyone bothering him. I feel like he could, even though TB was close. Like for the small percentage that know him, do you bother him for a selfie? Idk
  14. Has to be a bad day. No way some sort of version of that hasn’t been said to him multiple times by now
  15. Offense costs more because middle of the order bats don’t grow on trees, to say the least. Jays have 0 organics for that and nothing in the pipeline. You take fliers on guys like Belt and Turner and you’ll get mixed results. You sign guys for offense with spotty consistency, you can get mixed results too. Vlad has to be resigned for anything someone else will pay him
  16. Agreed. Go play Candyland if you don’t like the big decisions
  17. I’m going to link Justin T’s “Cry me a River” when Jays sign him for $300m.
  18. Vlad goes into another box. As mentioned by Liala, there’s only going to a few naturally elite talented hitters like him and Harper. It’s totally unfair to compare Vlad to any person like Chris Davis and that s***. The risk factor on Vlad is as low and any player you’re ever going to sign. What the ceiling is, is the question. He’s getting $300n from someone folks.
  19. Harper’s athleticism advantage almost gets negated by the liability factor of it. He played 118 games or less 3 times. It’s actually continued, or worsened you could say. Vladdy is a horse
  20. Nats moved on from Bryce Harper, who was a 3+ win player the prior 3 years before FA. Philly gave him 13/330. Philly is very glad they did, I’m sure. The Nats have since become one of the saddest franchise is baseball. Topping out at 71 wins over the last 5 years. Averaging 60 wins or something The Bluejays were super smart and traded for Dalton Varsho and signed IKF and got 3+ WAR production with glove first…those sky foxes…. But, they still suck and are looking to unload half their team, maybe
  21. So maybe they’re 27th or 28th. That really puts him in his place! How about those apples?
  22. Don’t give that guy in your dynasty league any ideas trading Miller for Kooch
  23. The best hitters on the planet get a hit 3 out of 10 times. Can’t really discount that fact
  24. I appreciate the kind words. I didnt fall out of any coconut tree, that’s for sure! I’ll try to think up a name for a future podcast. Like “The hard truth w/Connor P” or something, idk. For you, I think the easy one would be: “Sipping on WrynJuice- Jays talk”. For now, at least there’s the Positivity thread where you can try out a lot of material in a safe space. I would highly suggest you talk to Max about making guest appearances, with custom sample sizes in tow.
