    Need to score a couple of runs. Gausman looking good!
  2. jaysblue
    Gausman is at least pitching. Hope we see him in elite form!

    I always had the high hopes after 2019 that Biggio could be a Chase Utley or Ben Zobrist type of bat. Even still, loved the versatility he offered and thought he could have still been a valuable piece, but it's time for a change of scenery. I could see him hitting .250/.350/.450 with 15 HR's somewhere as a utility guy who plays all over the field against RHP. Wasn't gonna happen in Toronto unfortunately.

    Who knows? Maybe the lineup overall doesn't struggle as much with bats like Teo and JDM in it. As well, maybe the Jays win some of those close games they lost. Instead of losing 2-1 last night, maybe the Jays win 3-1 or 4-2. I know its all hindsight. Though having Teo in LF and JDM at DH would have made this lineup better overall. Not sure they would be holding WC1 but maybe they're around 35 wins and a couple of games above .500 which would have them sitting nicely in the WC3 spot. As well, they would be in a better position to add to the roster come trade deadline. Lastly, this team actually might have been more watchable.

    Depends on his price tag and years. Nothing near Tatis or Soto money. I would do a 3 year/$80M extension (similar to Bellinger's deal with the Cubs). Would take Vlad into his 29-year-old season. Vlad has had a solid year to date and also is now playing some 3B. Just needs a couple of more balls to leave the yard.

    He sleeps during the day usually.

    JDM had more power and was 3-years-younger than Turner. Not too difficult to see who was a better fit at DH. Teo has had success here in Toronto before and has shown to have 3-4 WAR upside if things click for him offensively. Regardless you knew you were getting a corner OF who at least could hit 25-30 HR's and drive in runs. Something this team needed dating back to the start of 2023.

    Well said.

    The game isn't played on Fangraphs or computers. JDM and Teo both would have made a difference in this lineup, even with guys struggling. Jays needed power bats, even if they had sacrifice some defense in the process. You still could have signed IKF to play 3B and have JDM at DH with Teo in LF. So now you're admitting this team wasn't good enough even before the offseason? Who does that blame fall on then? It all points to Atkins. You just admitted yourself.

    I never bet for or against the Jays. Always lose.

    As well, Boras is his agent so could be tough, but you never know. Sucks about Manoah since he had a couple good starts and looked like he figured things out. Should be able to find another mid-rotation starter and roll with one of the guys Laika mentioned in the No. 5 spot. Just gotta hope Gausman and Berrios don't have a significant drop-off. Same with Bassitt.
  12. jaysblue
    Probably Rodriguez gets one of those spots? Could also always add another starter during the offseason via free agency or trade. Shouldn't be too difficult. Gausman, Berrios and Bassitt will all be another year older however.
  13. jaysblue
    Sucks especially since Manoah looked like he was going to have a bounce back season.
  14. jaysblue
    His last two starts have been pretty decent actually. He might be able to carve out a career as a No. 4-5 starter in the bigs.
  15. jaysblue
    Infielder David Fletcher becoming a knuckleball pitcher in AAA lol.
  16. jaysblue
    Both have sucked.
  17. jaysblue
    He doesn't really hit for much power at all or get on-base. Has to hit close to .300 to be somewhat decent. Not sure he would be an upgrade over Turner at DH. Only plus is he would be younger.
  18. jaysblue
    Haha Meh as a 4th outfielder who could play CF, and 300 PA type of guy. Didn't want him in an everyday role. Wanted Varsho in CF and the Jays to target a bat with some pop for left field. Stated that several times.
  19. jaysblue
    Some receipts showing I wasn't against the KK and IKF signings.
  20. jaysblue
    This aged well lol.
  21. jaysblue
    Looks like he's going to get 400-500 AB's. Let's see how he holds up over a full season. Offensively a regression likely is coming.
  22. jaysblue
    IKF has been a solid signing by Atkins thus far. Has even held his own as a starter at 3B. Needed another big bat however in one of the corner OF spots or at DH, if they were planning at having IKF starting at 3B.

    I may pick up a shirt as well. How many days for shipping?
  24. jaysblue
    Dodgers/Yankees should be a fun series this weekend!

    Are these type of insults allowed on here? I couldn't care and not offended but there was a post the other day from one of the moderators on how certain insults will lead to bans.
