  1. He needs healthy starters more than aything. How lomg were they basically bullpenning 2 out of every 5 starts because only 2 starters were healthy and the other was Lauer?
  2. Friendly tip, put that guy on your ignore list. It'll save your baseball IQ points
  3. Just the owners trying to spend less in the draft again. NCAA loves this idea for sure though
  4. Dub Gleed up to AA from Vancouver, has 3 games there now. King was allowed up to 89 pitches in his start yesterday in Vancouver. Wasnt super efficient as he only lasted 5 innings and gave uo 3 ER, but only 1 walk vs 7 Ks so still a decent battling outing
  5. Obviously I have no idea what has or hasnt been said to Vlad by Schneider or Popkins or whomever, bit i would hope that some form of tough love has been tried. Like...piss him off a bit and see what happens. Publicly, of course you have to support him and say all the cliches about fighting through it and how hes a veteran and he'll figure it out, hes just one adjustment away from being himself...and all that s***. But, privately Id want to rip his head off and just say "listen dipshit, we're paying you 500 million dollars for the next 10 years, play like you f***ing deserve it...ass"
  6. This would be the very definition of ret*rded. Id fire my GM if he even brought this trade to me to get approval.
  7. It's one of those situations where you're thinking... damn, about time the Jays get a kid that can olay a corner infield spot that has pop and could actually be a regular. Kind of seals the death warrant on Springer coming back next season as DH if Keys can play 3rd though, since Okamoto would likely be the primary DH in that scenario. It would be massively helpful to the payroll if they could get some more regulars at league minimum in the next few seasons.
  8. I mean, we all saw this exact move happening, just didnt know which team he'd end up with. Objectively excellent defensive catchers with juuuuust enough stick to not be embarassing will always have a place in MLB somewhere.
  9. Clement is more Arraez-ian. Except he can actually play defense
  10. Danny Thompson Jr bumped up to AA last night, 4 hitless and scoreless, 1 walk, 3K Good to see one of those Vancouver arms getting challenged Sean Keys continues to rake... he's on some kind of heater right now. HRs in back to back games, trying to kick down the door and make the Jays call him up while Vlad goes to IL with a brain injury
  11. He could very easily slot in the pen as a lefty at some point this season if he remains healthy
  12. Davis Schneider could be a release candidate too if he doesn't turn things around. Can only hit .150 for so long before you get replaced. Rooting for him though
  13. Jay Harry moved up to AAA. 2-4 with a walk in his debut and also notable he was playing CF
  14. I just finished watching the highlights... to say that bunt decision was questionable is being extremely generous. Clement is a guy who gets the bat on virtually everything so theres a pretty decent chance he gets the runners moved over as one of his higher percentile outcomes, while keeping the chances that he knocks in a run himself. Calling for the bunt eliminates all of the run scoring outcomes(except for errors) while keeping all the s***** contact outcomes, for an increased chance at moving the runners at the cost of one of your last remaining outs. That said, if you get called on to bunt, popping it up like that is also inexcuseable. Do better Ernie
  15. Both pros, not prospects. Sasaki just didnt wait until he could be posted so had to be signed under amateur international free agent rules, but he was already a pro
  16. What prospects from Japan? The only guys signed from there the vast majority of the time are pros The last high school kid signed from Japan was done by Oakland and i think another is in the NCAA waiting to be draft eligible.
  17. Also nice to see Moon holding his own so far in the FCL
  18. Id say an exceptional job on the margins. Its these moves that are keeping the Jays relevant this season while the parade of injuries was/is happening
  19. Clement is the type of player you never go out of your way to extend to long-term 9-figure deals, especially when they're over 30. Just give up. The defense of "other GMs have done dumb stuff so that makes it possible" isn't even remotely relevant
  20. Taschin. They signed him last year interesting kid. This is usually the first stop for minor league rehab assignements too, like Cade Doughty right now as an example
  21. In no universe is Clement getting 100+ million dollars as a free agent as a light-hitting utility IF when hes 33.
