And Berrios has been been Dr.Jeckle/Hyde his whole career. Nothing wrong with saying he’s not the kind of guy you want to trust as your main SP come playoffs. But hard to argue his value as someone in your rotation over the course of a year. This was the hot debate from before he was terrible. How to view him. It was always from a lens of WAR he was a Top 20 pitcher but FIP probably not even Top 50 in a reasonable sample size of starts. So you could always take 2 sides of the coin before the suckage
-
I’m just overly vocal bro. Go back all you want but the only times you’ll find of me piling of the negative is Biggio, Danny J, Berrios, and the Teo trade. I always saw Toronto as a playoff team last year, and this year too.. Springer, Bo, Vlad, Teo (as a Jay).. you won’t find me talking about how they such in Gameday like so many others. As a fan I’d like to see more focus on the playoff Jays rather than compiling the odd WAR gain here and there. Many teams when they get to the next level start making moves towards talking the next step. So I may cry when I think Jays go backwards in that respect but I’m a positive fan for sure
-
Well at least you can be objective. I’m not a fan of guys like Biggio, who the team very clearly doesn’t see as an everyday player, to the detriment of everyone here that knows he’s a key piece if he only gets the chance, and suddenly I hate all the Jays and I’m a Grinch lol
-
I would bet Berrios returns closer to career norms than this off-season but that would still make him a not scary pitcher in the post-season. I was always optimistic on Berrios taking the next step, I targeted him in fantasy leagues, but it just didn’t happen. I think he’ll be alright but for a team like the Jays, I’m pessimistic he’ll be the best use of resources
-
I’m sorry some people can’t make distinctions without getting their panties twisted. I mean if you go into a playoff game and you’re facing a 2.8 FIP guy that was only going for 2 WAR because he missed time being injured, or the 4 WAR/FIP guy that was healthy and steady all-season, why do you care about WAR at that point? Just because you say someone is best used as a #4 SP doesn’t mean they all have to fit in the same basket. Mark Buehrle was best as a backend guy but gave you dependability to pass on the front end
-
Basically that’s the hope. The upside play isn’t looking good. But hopefully he gets back to the 4.00 ERA/FIP SP that gives you value making all his starts. He’s not scaring anyone getting the ball in the playoffs though. Hopefully RT or something pushes him to #4 in the rotation
-
SP is pretty huge obviously come playoff time. Berrios would’ve been better served as a piggyback for Stripling. Not that it came to that
-
I think you’re playing around with the same fire as Kooch with that money. Or an OF for that money. Could work out, could not. 50/50
-
And there it is. So when people get mad saying “of course we’re replacing Teo”, are they sure?
-
Yeah I think you’re confusing a single event, the ball that goes into play vs. the whole picture
-
One could equally roll their eyes when someone is talking about xBA of .204 in the context of “he’s not that bad” lol. It’s pretty common for guys like Biggio to have their best years at first before all the adjustments expose the fact that they’re not a mlb hitter. Again, you can sign guys like JBJ and bring them in as late inning replacements. Think bigger
-
Save money and assets and roll with JBJ
-
Come playoff times, the difference between Grisham and Average Joe defender is pretty minimal. The chance they may flag down a fly ball an average defender can’t is far outweighed by what their bat brings to the table. Yuck
-
You’re on your period? I’ve read Rocky Road ice cream helps
-
Looks like the Love era has arrived. Did Rodgers get a no-trade? If not he’s playing for Carolina or something next year
-
Worse ways to burn $8m
-
Tampa is going to lose to Cleveland, so I’ll stop trolling.. but real quick, is it any surprise Aaron Rodgers would start leaking his injures? No surprise here
-
Buffalo/Mia on a neutral field, who is the favorite?
-
Perhaps I’m a little bitter after trading for him, since its starting to appear he’ll be fantasy irrelevant
-
Yeah. Up’d his trade value. Do your hypothetical trades always need to be so vanilla? Anyways, I just said them trading KH would be less surprising than signing a vey meh veteran on the decline for 10-15% of their payroll.
-
What’s curious about that Spank-off? He’s the highest paid guy making $10m/year and it doesn’t seem like he going to the star that was once thought. Maybe pass the contract off to someone that would be willing to pay good assets for him, considering the defense and offensive upside. Get some guys without mlb deals

Toronto Blue Jays Roster Discussion (2022)
connorp replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The players usually win anyway. As mentioned, all the other sports get all the meat-and-potatoes out of way right off the bat for the most part. In baseball the big players will wait for so long that you’re thinking they f***ed themselves; then they end up with what you thought, or more. It’s just some random meh veteran here-and-there that screws themselves, which happens in other sports too -
I wish there was a log of all the board leagues in all sports… to see what the All-time best winning % is
-
I’d think I’d be less surprised with the Pirates dumping Hayes, than signing CS
-
Yeah but considering their payroll and budget, it seems like splurging on a $100 scratch off
