San Francisco could be in the market now for either Brady with Purdy requiring surgery after a torn UCL in his elbow. Might not be a bad idea to offer Brady a one-year contract and have Lance/Purdy rest up another year and learn under Brady.

Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)

Inglett in 2008. Scutaro had a real solid year for the Jays in 2009. -
Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)
jaysblue replied to Pendleton's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah I never looked at baseball through a business lens as I did later on. In 1998, was a young fan and probably was like that until 2008. Heck even when Frank Catalanotto wasn't brought back after 2006, was kind of sad. -
I think just those three arms you mentioned. Verlander, Scherzer and Kershaw likely will retire around the same time. For position players, Pujols and Molina retired last season. Miguel Cabrera after 2023 and Joey Votto possibly can retire after this season or next.
-
Pretty much on par with Doc in terms of a comparable. Doc had more dominant seasons where he was the best in baseball, though Greinke was still one of the elite arms in the game and had longevity. Completely forgot about his gold gloves as well.
-
Do you think he's a first ballot Hall of Famer?
-
Greinke didn't get the hype like Verlander, Kershaw and Scherzer, though he definitely was one of the top elite starters during the last decade when you look at the numbers. He had a really solid career when all is said and done which I think is HOF worthy.
-
Greinke was definitely a model of consistency. His 2009 season is probably his only standout/special season (8.7 WAR), though otherwise he was a consistent 4-5 WAR pitcher every season, pitching over 200 innings with solid ratios. For most of his career, he stayed healthy as well. Career 65.5 WAR and he's close to 3000K's. Likely needs to pitch two more seasons to reach the 3000K milestone unless he strikes out 120 this upcoming season. I think he should be HOF worthy. Not a first ballot but he should make his way on at some point.
-
Yeah exactly. Profar is a nice piece, but he definitely is kind of stuck in limbo. Probably pushing for a bigger contract, guaranteed starting role/ABs and wants to play on a contender. Though a contending team is unlikely to use him as a starting corner OF. I'm sure even on a contender, Profar could get 400-500ABs due to him being able to play all over. But yeah, wouldn't go multiple years on him.

Yeah I don't get that emotional about players being traded or leaving via FA, though those three leaving for sure hurt as a Jays fan. Especially since I was younger when Green and Delgado left. I think if the Jays got a good return on Halladay, wouldn't have felt that sour but yeah. -
Yeah agreed. It was the right call.
-
Surprised Profar is still available, though heard a lot of teams are put off by his asking price.

It's Joe Inglett. He actually put together a nice half season for the Jays in 2008 I remember. -
Phillies signed Josh Harrison to a one-year deal worth $2M. Nice bench depth and at a good price.
-
Wacha isn't getting 2 years, $30 million. He'll likely have to settle for $20M over two years now.
-
Bengals IMO were the better team and played better. Some questionable calls during the game yeah. That last penalty where Mahomes was pushed after being out of bounds yeah was a late hit on him. Tough not to call that. Eagles are a much better team, though KC has SuperBowl experience on their side. I'll still lean with the Eagles though.
-
Haha me neither. Knowing my luck if I ever made a big bet like that I'll lose. I just bet $50 on them to win.

Shawn Green was my favourite player when I was a kid. Definitely that 1998 season with Clemens, Green, Delgado, Canseco got me into baseball. -
Eagles were the best bet. Could have dropped $500 or 1K on them today.

The 2003 season was fun. Myers had such an awesome season and Bordick was solid as well. Stairs in 2007 provided some great power numbers. -

Josh Harrison is a FA and can act as a super utility guy. Think he put up good stats defensively last season as well. -

Welcome to the league Stang. -
Even before dropping an end of roster player, you need to sit and make a tough decision on those guys. Like for example if I need to drop someone, I'm debating between dropping Jimmy Lambert or Daniel Norris or Kolby Allard. They all suck, but Lambert and Norris both have SP eligibility and if one makes the team after ST, they could contribute. Allard is still only 25 and who knows if he turns his career around out of the BP with Atlanta.

BORED is definitely a fun league, pretty much identical to the DDL. LOD is on such a different level. Definitely more challenging and every roster piece counts. You're making tough decisions on end of roster guys when it comes to dropping someone.
