    And then when called on it, promptly misspells Gatorade as a dumn f*** encore.

    I made my picks early in the morning and went out of cell range for the rest of the day until now. Not having Story play today probably sunk me from the points

    Could have sworn that was you Hurl. Rocking that manzier!

    Yes, clubs are definitely improving in this area. It's weird how long it took to recognize as something they should be actively investing in though.

    And bearing in mind this will be Donaldson only chance at a free agent contract... I highly doubt he signs anything before actually hitting FA status. Realistically the Jays have to decide if getting more via trade as a return vs 1 comp pick is worth the negative PR that would be created by trading him.

    Maybe. But even shipping out salary it would be nice to get more than a warm body back. Not like they can even really use another centre.
  9. John_Havok
    There's a lot of differences between the upcoming Donaldson situation, an the EE and JB situations of last year which would make it far more likely that someone pays for Donaldson rather than those other 2. Most notably, Donaldson still plays great D at a pretty important position , is younger and can reliably be projected around 20+ WAR over his next 5 seasons assuming health.

    Could be the next Pillar-type breakout.

    You'd be surprised how little information and actual help propects in baseball get from their parent clubs. It really is quite pathetic how they treat their minor league teams and players in baseball.

    Tim Hardaway jr just got 71 million from the Knicks for 4 years. Uh...... Why????

    It's a Saturday. The game should be a sellout or close to it. The Jays have the 3Rd best attendance in mlb right now only behind St Louis and the Dodgers, though San Francisco will surpass them once their home schedule catches up.
  15. John_Havok
    Yeah, the thing was back then, no fans paid any attention to the minors at all and just relied on the talking heads on TV to tell them who was a good propects and who wasn't. Vlad and Bo's numbers make Green and Gonzalez's numbers look like chicken feed.

    Braves OF Ronald Acuna from 62 to 10.... Albies drops to 25 from 8? I know he's got no power but he's got an .800 OPS in AAA as a 20 year old and showing more power than ever before. ALTUVE 2.0 Walker Buehler from 77 to 17....
  17. John_Havok
    Toronto isn't Houston. The Jays don't benefit from TV deals like every other market does because of Rogers and how they have evry thing set up.

    Yankees didn't blow up, they retooled.
  19. John_Havok
    I'm not advocating a blow up. That simply can't happen in thus market or nobody would go to games and a rogers would lose a big chunk of their cash cow for years. Just saying that an effective re-tool might be slowed with a winning streak that would mask this teams very obvious deficiencies for the long term outlook of success. They will not win a WS as they are now and they are only getting older and worse. There's no way they're trading youth now for rentals or even aging players under control, so extra wins here and there only hurt the retool. It's incredibly hard to build a team through the draft if you're always drafting 20th or lower every year and not trading aging players for younger prospects - unless you're willing to spend money to fix holes. Chicago and Houston went full blowup and are reaping the benefits. The Yankees on the other hand retooled very effectively in short order and will be reaping the benefits very soon. Big advantage because of their willingness to spend. The Jays need to follow the Yankees model this time.

    I don't think theyre projecting Vlad as a 40 HR guy though. I think they're projecting him more of a 30 HR 40 doubles ceiling - which is still very jizz worthy. He doesn't have the mind boggling power of Judge or Sano, but he won't have all the Ks which will really pump those doubles out.
  21. John_Havok
    You hit on the head. It's possible to succeed with a high K rate, as long as you still hit for power and get on base. Lose pretty much either 1 of the other 2 (especially power) and you're f***ed.
  22. John_Havok
    I really don't know how I would feel of the Jays went on like a 8-10 game winning streak right now. I would be happy they're winning obviously because it sucks watching losing baseball. ... but just knowing that would f*** up any chances of jettisoning the guys that need to be punted for the betterment of the long term outlook would make me unhappy at the same time. It's weird, but I'm kinda hoping for losing baseball from here on out for the sake of my sanity. Not like 110 loss losing baseball, just... right where they are would be fine. .500 or slightly under.
  23. John_Havok
    I hashed this out in another thread already. The Chapman and Miller deals netted a top 30 prospect (both Torres and Frazier were like... 27 or 29 ranked at the time of the trades) and some filler. Miller was still under control and Chapman was ultimately resigned. And those 2 are the best 2 relievers in baseball. No team (I think) would trade a top 10 prospect for a reliever, regardless of who the reliever is.

    They only full game replays I've seen is if the Jays play a day game, they might show it again in the evening but I don't think they do it for every day game. I know they did this with the Yankees day game this week. I have seen full game replays as well the next day after a night game, but only if the Jays were off on the following day. Again, it doesn't happen every time so it's probably just here and there when they need to fill time with something other than darts.

    Vlad Jr goes deep in his 1st AB, I guarantee it
