  1. I hate it when a smart team picks up a DFA of the Jays... ya just know he'll be fantastic for them.
  2. That's vomit inducing IMO.
  3. I saw this one, but its not behind a paywall https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/35563220/way-too-early-2023-mlb-starting-rotation-rankings They have the Jays at 8th 8. Toronto Blue Jays Game score W/L: 95-67, .586 Average game score: 54.4 Dominance rank: 4 | Consistency rank: 3 Gems: 43 | Eggs: 21 Rotation: Alek Manoah (22-8), Kevin Gausman (23-9), Chris Bassitt (22-10), Jose Berrios (13-14), Yusei Kikuchi (7-11), Nate Pearson (5-6), Mitch White (2-5), Hyun Jin Ryu (3-4) The addition of Bassitt gives the Blue Jays a strong core trio with three potential 20-game winners (well, "game score" winners, anyway, but I love the old-timey nomenclature). There are questions with some possible exciting answers even after Manoah, Gausman and Bassitt. Can Berrios get back on track? Can Ryu return by midseason, as he says he wants to do? This rotation has a chance to not just be good, but to be really, really deep.
  4. He's got a glove on to catch anything that might hit him... no biggie.
  5. There's still plenty of time for that. Catchers are not typically the guys you want to extend for big years and money anyways.
  6. High respect for KK getting put in that group.
  7. He looked fine in the Hazel Mae vid above heading to the batting cages this morning.
  8. Yeah, and we was here in 4 different stints, all with #1. Only 5 different players wore it from 1977 - 2001 (Bailor, Fernandez, Eddie Zosky, Tomas Perez and Mickey Morandini), but 15 players have worn it since.
  9. Yep nice to see but he’s probably out of his depth in this tourney. Advanced A ball last year and though he faired decent, wasn’t a world beater by any stretch. Will get some great experience though
  10. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/02/blue-jays-sign-luke-bard-to-minors-contract.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Jays sign reliever Luke Bard to minor league deal, invite to ST
  11. Do you remember the hype on this 32- year old rookie's bat?
  12. Feels like this would be a blueprint for Manoah also doesnt it Javier: 304 IP, 378 Ks, 1.035 WHIP, 11.7 K/9, 3.1 BB/9, 3.90 FIP Manoah: 308 IP, 307 Ks, 1.012 WHIP, 9 K/9, 2.3 BB/9, 3.35 FIP Only difference in what the deal might look like is Manoah isn't arb eligible till next season and will probably be a Super 2, whereas Javier was arb 1 this year and not Super 2, so they just bought 2 FA years. If the Jays were doing this with Manoah they'd only be buying out his remaining team control.
  13. Shut up or I'll squash you with my cutis pleonasmus
  14. Angels decided a stars and scrubs lineup was a good thing. I saw it noted somewhere they had the best top 3 hitters cumulatively in baseball last season, but the bottom 6 were by far the worst.
  15. This ones from 2019 - not like he was CC Sabathia out there but there's some extra heft there for sure. he was listed at 6 feet, 234 Its also very surprising sometimes how much extra wieght some builds can have on them without seeming like they're carrying that much extra weight.
  16. Zulueta perhaps as well.
  17. Top 100 ... oy, I think I'd get bored past the top 25.
