    Padres are listening on Soto…not sure how seriously. Probably just the usual trade rumour clickbait since it came from Heyman.
  2. John_Havok
    Very shallow. Approximately subcutaneous. All they should really have to do is point to 2021 when Vlad definitely did put in effort in the off-season and was noticeably leaner than 2020. MVP caliber season. Should be all the motivation he needs to do it again this upcoming offseason

    ABS might put him out a job though (depending how it's implemented) without that bat ticking back up. His blocking is still great, arm is decent, but alot of that D value comes from framing which might be far less important in the near future.

    and against LH relievers in the playoffs, +300 wRC+
  5. John_Havok
    sadly, all Kirk really needs to do to be a useful asset around 2 WAR is have a wRC+ around 90. His defense more than makes up for his other deficiencies. Of course, a dip in defense makes him replacement level. On the flip side, an uptick in the bat pushes him back up to 3+ WAR, which is completely fine. A lot of the frustration around Kirk is the same as it is with Vlad. We've seen the upside and now he's not there just 1 season later.
  6. John_Havok
    Kirk drags it WAY down though. everyone else on there that's under league average is at least within spitting distance of it.
  7. John_Havok
    Extension talks between the Cardinals and Jordan Hicks have not progressed, seems like he's back on the market.
  8. John_Havok
    For sure, it would linger for the next 2-3 seasons easily.

    It's disappointing that Rogers is somehow grasping the purse strings right now. I know it would have been a million to one chance to even land Ohtani if he was on the trade block... but there is every reason in the world aside from the on field product to do it. Imagine the thousands and thousands of Ohtani jerseys and related Jays gear that would fly off the shelves immediately across the entire country. He's a marketing dream for Rogers who really only care about the Jays as a marketing tool in the first place. Slapping his face on the marketing push for a the stretch drive would be incredible from that perspective. Ohtani would pay for himself and then some for the rest of the season.

    Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Michael Stefanic replaces Shohei Ohtani. Might be precautionary only but still that's potentially good news for the Jays
  11. John_Havok
    I hope hes not hurt, but it sure would be nice for that bat to be missing for the next 3 days. Doubleheader is supposed to f*** over a pitching staff and he went and pitched a friggin CGSO, maybe Detroit can do some damage to their pen for the rest of the 2nd game, seeing a pen only throw 4 innings in 2 games of a doubleheader is a clear win for the Angels.
  12. John_Havok
    Could you tell if he was on deck when Neto struck out? Im not watching it live... just through gameday
  13. John_Havok
    Guess we wont know much until his next time up and see if they take him out. but t was very noticeable that he was grabbing his lower left side/back area But if it is, that's a good few weeks on the shelf minimum. hate to see it happen to Ohtani but i love seeing it happen to that idiot Moreno.
  14. John_Havok
    Lots of runs lost on being thrown out... some of those are from the runners, others from Rivera being a moron...
  15. John_Havok
    Footspeed breakdown of the Jays ... and ill throw in their Baserunning from savant's new baserunning metric
  16. John_Havok
    I know, just adding to it. Not slamming it.
  17. John_Havok
    Fangraphs doesnt even have him as a future 35+ yet, though he's super far off so that's not surprising ... saying "Currently an infielder, the 18-year-old Severino looks like a future right fielder. He’s a deep projection hitter with a plus arm." Straight salary dump for a lotto ticket.
  18. John_Havok
    Orioles and Jays have the same run differential now at +46. Red Sox +49, Houston +49. Last couple of WC spots are gonna be a dogfight right to the end.
  19. John_Havok
    Scroll back, we were on this a few minutes after it was announced. Nothing gets by the BJMB when it’s this close to the deadline
  20. John_Havok
    So did all the pitching moves meet with all the armchair managers approval today?
  21. John_Havok
    I guess the only thing really holding him back would be the lack of clear playing time. Like, you really wouldnt want to call him up to be a bench guy... Merrifield has seized the everyday utility role, and nobody is hurt. Is Schneider all that useful taking 10 ABs per week? Maybe the only clear path to playing time is them putting Merrifield in LF consistently, shifting Varsho to the bench and starting Schneider at 2b every day.
  22. John_Havok
    What would a return for White even be? I wouldnt even fill a team's Coke machine for the rest of the season for him.
  23. John_Havok
    Thornton was 29 year old org filler. By my count we just gained 1 year. Clear win by Atkins
  24. John_Havok
    That's a pretty dumn hypothetical.
