    No doubt. 2015 the Jays were tops in the league by far at 5.45 runs per game. 2021 Jays were'nt far behind though at 5.22, and that was with Springer gone for months - and now adding in Chapman. 2022 could be an entirely new level offensively.

    Pie in the sky hopes would be that Merryweather is that guy .... if his arm doesn't actually detach during his delivery one day.
  3. John_Havok
    THis list has been out since January, and he's ranked equally to Groshans at a 45 FV. They just have his name printed first.

    True, but they guys they've helped, the reasons havent been injury related. It's entirely possible that Chapman won't be able to swing the same way anymore. At worst though, he's still valuable based on his D, but i'd definitely love to get the real Chapman offensive powerhouse back also.
  5. John_Havok
    Cincinatti probably just acquired him so they could sell him for less than he's worth along with a few prospects. Can't trade prospects without a big league salary dump along with them.
  6. John_Havok
    Adding chapman's expected salary would put them right around 162 million.
  7. John_Havok
    Garret was projected to earn 2.5 million this year. Selling him for a more expensive pitcher seems counter intuitive
  8. John_Havok
    This. I'd much rather the Os keep emulating the Os. Keep up the great work!

    I really hope Chapman gets back to hitting balls in the strike zone. Really that's his only problem the past 2 seasons. Walk rate still good, power still good, still swings at the right pitches and doesnt swing at the bad ones... but he's been swinging and missing strikes a lot more since the hip issues.

    Phillies didn't either. 79 million or take a hike.

    If you want to Cherry pick time frames.... id rather be the yankees and dodgers since almost ever.
  12. John_Havok
    Are the Guardians ever really a true buyer at the deadline though? Recent history says they dont really add big pieces at that point, they're far more active in the offseasons
  13. John_Havok
    Speaking of which, Sanchez signed a minor league deal with Washington earlier. still hangin on
  14. John_Havok
    THat's pretty much my point. 3b/C is a logjam right now. THere's 2 good catching options already on the roster, and a 3b that isnt going anywhere for 2 years (except maybe the DL) It's a good problem to have, but it's also the obvious place to deal from to address any needs, whether they choose to move a major league piece or the prospect pieces of the logjam.
  15. John_Havok
    another good take. As much as we dont like Grichuk's bat, he's really the only good CF option on the roster defensively if/when Springer gets hurt. The rotation depth also just got thinner. Pearson is probably the first man up of course in the event of injury, but beyond that, everyone is unproven to say the least. Even Pearson isn't really proven.
  16. John_Havok
    Valid POV. Let me counter it just for the sake of argument - specifically for the purpose of landing Ramirez via trade. Groshans (3b), Moreno (c and maybe 3b), Martinez (SS/3b) are the biggest names left on the farm. All are now effectively blocked at the ML level for at least the next 2 seasons. Not as big a deal with Martinez as he is further away, but Moreno and Groshans are basically knocking on the door. Can't hold them down for 2 full seasons, they'll be rule 5 eligible before then. Why not use them as capital now for arguably the best trade that can be made right now in trying to land Ramirez?
  17. John_Havok
    Don't you dare interrupt the circle jerk you sonuva bitch
  18. John_Havok
    Think outside the box a bit.... Ramirez + Bieber, they can have Manoah, Orelvis, Moreno and Atkins left nut.
  19. John_Havok
    The team as is could hit 105 wins with luck and pitching health. Ramirez would put them into 110+ territory
  20. John_Havok
    It kinda makes sense at this point. If there's a Ramirez trade to be had and he's okay plying 2b... may as well pull the trigger and just attempt to restock the farm over the next 2 years.
  21. John_Havok
    Not sure. He's married to a Canadian, and did some work with the Vancouver Canadians a few years back with colour commentary, but haven't heard anything since then.
  22. John_Havok
    For sure, I just think in the right mega-lineup, they would strongly consider it. I think Vlad ... his bat is special enough that whether he plays 1b exclyusively, 1b/DH, 1b/3b/DH, he's gonna get paid.
  23. John_Havok
    Yeah, those players still unsigned are missing out on ST reps, but I guess when your decision is hinging on multiple hundreds of millions of dollars, missing the early part of ST isnt really on their mind.
  24. John_Havok
    I dont think i've read anything that says either player would be opposed to it. It's a reasonable assumption though that a player who normally plays the field would want to continue to play the field. But it's also a reasonable assumption that if you have already traded for J-Ram, Freeman looks a the lineup and says "yes please" and Vlad looks at a possible lineup with both J-ram and Freeman and says "Dime cuándo estar en el estadio de béisbol"
  25. John_Havok
    Don't tease me.... But in all seriousness, if you sign Freeman or land Ramirez via trade.... it kinda makes sense to just go for it and get the other deal done. you're all in but youve got at least a 2 year juggernaut window (assuming no Ramirez extension) and at least 4 years of juggernaut-lite.
