    Leo Jimenez doesn't displace Bo though, like you're not trading Bo because you have Jimenez and he's out of options after this season so you simply must hang on to Jimenez. The only reason to be trading Bo is because they know he can't be extended and want to try and recoup something rather than nothing. If they do that though, they're almost throwing in the towel on 2025 and there's still a ton of reasons to believe Bo can bounce back and be part of a really good team in 2025. Jimenez status makes 0 difference to Bo's scenario, he's just the guy that would likely play short IF there's a Bo trade.

    It's not a level of apathy...it's just revocable waivers are boring. It's just a simple way of checking out a level of interest in trade.

    Checking savant, it's actually a good pitch for him. It's his sinker that gets destroyed. Pop has really weird numbers.... like his chase rate is ELITE, but his whiff rate is garbage. If anything, he needs to throw fewer sinkers and more of the sliders and cutters. 75% sinkers when the pitch is getting killed seems like a bad plan.

    Pop throwing a cutter now? I havent watched many of his recent games... is this a new thing?

    Horwitz with another solo jack. 405 feet to RF where Bonds used to hit them. Nice.

    enjoy the remainder of the game.

    Luckily, with the Jays sucking, their value as trade chips is not overly important at the moment. Even assuming that every pending FA gets traded and nobody else does, the Jays don't really need to fill massive holes via trade for top end guys. There's lots of pitching available via FA after this season that can be had, and you just know the Jays are going to be right there at the end with Soto after losing out on Ohtani last season.

    He got through 7 with the no-no intact, 11K, 1 BB, 99 pitches. Pen wasnt able to keep the no hitter but they still won 1-0. Skenes results are exactly why pitchers chase velo. Because it's just way f***ing harder to hit, than non-velo.

    It's called "EDIT POST"

    The Terrence Howard of the board.

    More than 1 poster from this board went on to work for the Jays, and other teams nerd departments. They have confirmed what I said. Publically available stuff is behind what teams have internally. Doesn't mean the publically available stuff is meaningless and not used, just that it's not as detailed and nuanced. Internally they look at things in different ways also.

    There's pretty much a few types of guys the Jays have right now given their record and situation... the "must move" guys like ... any pending FA that's healthy. Then there's the "could move to shed money and might actually get something useful but not upper tier back" ... like Bassitt, Gausman, Green Then there's the "probably should try to move because it looks like they aren't signing any extension, but there's no real urgency to do it right now because they'd be selling low and can look at it again in the offseason" ..... Bo Then there's the rest of them.... that are either virtually untradeable (Springer - due to contract, Vlad due to no way anyone pays the Jays asking price) or may as well keep since they have to field a team next year and need at least some competency somewhere... Varsho, Kirk, Genesis, Pearson, any Pre-Arb guys, Yariel etc.

    Wasn't there a story from the Jays about Matt Hague working with Clement on the steepness of his attack angle? It seemed to pay dividends early on and he hit a few dingers but now teams just don't throw him fastballs and it doesn't matter much again for him. Not that the angle isn't important, just that it's only 1 factor.
  17. John_Havok
    If it was easy to "fix" there'd be a lot of really good hitters in the major leagues.
  18. John_Havok
    Whatever we have that is publicly available, Stuff + and bat tracking etc... teams have stuff that's way more in depth.
  19. John_Havok
    It's delusional to think the team can make a run at the WC at this point so trading guys like Kikuchi, Yimi, Richards etc just makes sense. I'm not sold on trading a guy like Bo unless someone pays full sticker price, but if that deal comes along...then hell yes. I wouldn't trade Vlad though unless someone overpays. He's too valuable for off-field reasons, and the hope of him eventually pulling his head out of his ass and returning to even a 35+ HR threat is real enough to keep him around. I cant fathom a Springer deal being possible for obvious reasons, but Gausman and Bassit are moveable.
  20. John_Havok
    How many hitters before Pop gives up the lead?
  21. John_Havok
    Varsho has to be better than that...was never close to being a strike
  22. John_Havok
    Tank nation
  23. John_Havok
    Pearson almost back in the circle of trust?
  24. John_Havok
    And waste this thread space with fantasy stuff when there's other threads for it.

    Short season ball ended in 2020.
