    For the Jays don't think of it as a pick, but extra bonus money.

    You need an economics degree to figure out all those options • First, the Blue Jays get a club option covering the 2024-26 seasons for $27 million over three years, with annual performance bonuses of up to $1 million based on games pitched; • If the Blue Jays decline that option, Green gets a player option for the 2024 season worth $6.25 million with up to $2 million in bonuses based on games pitched; • If Green declines that, the Blue Jays get a final $21-million, two-year club option covering 2024-25 with annual performance bonuses of up to $1 million based on games pitched.

    Yeah, knew that. Thought the OP was meaning to include all pending FAs, not just the ones that are QO eligible. My misunderstanding there

    So...unhinged trolling then?

    Yeah there's lots of fish out there this offseason https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/starting-pitcher/?ref=trending-page

    Isn't Hicks also a pending free agent? Also, Yimi has a player option for 6 million. It's not a non-zero chance he declines and tries to get a multiyear deal but it's probably so unlikely it's not worth discussing.

    You're trying way too hard here. The key to great trolling is subtlety

    A lot really depends on the 7 games between Seattle and Texas. Best case, Seattle or Texas runs the table on the other team or even 5-2 or something like that and the Jays play .500 or better. Anything other than that and it’s hard to see them get in.

    Kinda weird this wasn’t an afternoon game when they play tomorrow in Tampa with an earlier start isn’t it?

    Cole owned them, not much more to say

    Until I see some spin data or something that indicates a legit change in something, I’m reserving judgement here.

    Heh…when he “runs”

    Even getting it back up to .180 would be nice. Of all his HRs in the majors, all but 5 for Biggio have come against RHP. Against lefties he's the limpest of noodles.
  14. John_Havok
    I guess what I'm saying is, I don't want a league average bat with below average power(as a LHH vs RHP) as the strong side of a platoon, unless maybe he's 2b platooning only. I'd be more thrilled with the league average guy as the weak side of the platoon, unless the weak side guy does have legit well above average power against LHP that is consistently being displayed. Biggio is a vanilla backup with no outstanding attributes that warrants more playing time than that of a backup IMO. He's a very good bench guy to have though, like as far as bench guys go, he's definitely a guy you want to have around. To me, strong side of a platoon is more than a bench role. He exists in the gray space somewhere between bench guy and strong side platoon for me.
  15. John_Havok
    I would like to see more power output for him though. Even as a strong side platoon bat his ISO against RHP is .180, wrc+ 105 for his career. This season it's .162, behind both Varsho and KK. The walks give him a strong enough base to start from from but getting that ISO against RHP back up to career norms or even over .200 would be massively beneficial. Without that, he's a stopgap utility guy at best.

    Not a clue. I’m an insufferable pedantic fastidious perfectionist by day.
  17. John_Havok
    I’m still open to Whit coming back but the dollars are getting lower by the day. 2/16ish maybe. As cold as he is with the bat right now, having a bench guy who can play multiple positions, hits lefties and runs well are good guys to have around. Punt Espinal, keep Biggio, Whit, Clement and Horwitz as the primary bench guys alongside the backup catcher. Good mix of youth and experience, pretty much every position covered and would be around 12 million total. Leaves lots of payroll flex to address LF and the pitching
  18. John_Havok
    Is this the new Savanna Bananas gag? Pitcher throws a bat and hitter hits it with a ball? Now that’s entertainment
  19. John_Havok
    as if on cue... damn nice play
  20. John_Havok
    Ask and ye shall receive

    Being wrong for both sides is doubly a problem. Excusing incompetence with the rationale of consistency is just wrong
  22. John_Havok
    Green up to 97. Good to see. I wouldn't say no to an insurance run or two right about now
  23. John_Havok
    It's a good example of why relying on stringing hits together is really hard against good pitching and why power is preferable.
  24. John_Havok
    Aidy...the actress from SNL. That's all I got

    Exercise is about 20% of the solution. Can exercise all you want but if you eat like a human garbage disposal it won't matter much.
