  1. So who's first out on the 40-man? Ty Tice? Yennsy Diaz? Maybe Derek Fisher is gone. Jonathan Davis?
  2. Any source other than a random IG account? I won't put any stock in this yet. Edit: Wow. $18M is high but it's one year so who cares. Great deal. Ridiculous cadre of position player talent now.
  3. To start the year I think the lineup is more likely to be something like: Springer Bichette Gurriel Jr Hernandez Guerrero Jr Biggio Tellez Grichuk Jansen They probably get another infielder though. I think Springer definitely leads off. Travis Shaw was batting third deep into last season. The front office isn't going to send Charlie a lineup with Bichette hitting third.
  4. I think Bauer signs that deal the instant it's offered.
  5. With Ray, Stripling and Chatwood I think it's clear that there's going to be piggybacking and playing matchups with the rotation next year. 3-5.5 is a nice price. He's been pretty good since his disastrous 2018.

    I'm not too into NBA stats but I think they give that picture. He had a .628 TS% in 18-19 which is elite. He cratered down to .554 TS% last season which is just around average. He shot .602% on 2-point attempts in the championship season and .499% last year. I don't know how much is lost athleticism but a significant part of it is the opposition's defence. He used to go to the spin-move well time and time again. Jaylen Brown absolutely owned him in that Boston series. He couldn't get anything going in the half court. He resorted to bricking long 2s. I think he's a bit better than okay on defence though.
  7. https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/top-blue-jays-prospect-alek-manoah-made-sure-2020-wasnt-lost-year/
  8. I'd say just start Manoah at AA. He turns 23 a month from today. Austin Martin to Vancouver.
  9. https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-jays-kloffenstein-salvaged-2020-development-covid-league/ King Kloff has apparently touched 99. Last I heard his stuff had ticked down a bit and was more 92-93. If he's now sitting in the mid-90s that's big.
  10. Could not agree more. I want to learn to scrape a website just so I can tally up every player he's linked to the Blue Jays on Twitter vs those that actually end up signing. His hit rate has to be under 1%
  11. Still looks like a lot more than 10 pounds of bad weight there.
  12. You know Dave Hudgens is the bench coach, right?
  13. I don't think there is any argument where choosing to put the best reliever from the regular season into a playoff elimination game is a worse decision than deciding to not put the best reliever from the regular season into a playoff elimination game.
  14. Lourdes' standing as a finalist seems even more weird at first, given that the finalists are completely metrics-based this year. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/2020-rawlings-gold-glove-award-finalists-announced-301158327.html#:~:text=Historically%2C%20the%20Rawlings%20Gold%20Glove,players%20from%20their%20own%20team. But then you realize that there were only 8 players in the American League that had the requisite 265 innings in LF. LINK I'm still not quite sure how Lourdes made the final three. He's not in the top three in Statcast's Outs Above Average (counting stat), Statcast's Success Rate Added (rate stat), or DRS. His UZR was slightly better than Tucker and Rosario. Gurriel must have gotten some points in " traditional statistics with advanced analysis" - whatever the hell that means.
  15. Well at least Vancouver will have a full season team. They very well might have been stuck without a team at all. The Blue Jays would want their AA and AAA sites much closer than Vancouver. And of course Dunedin takes another full season spot. I'm not sure how many full-season teams will be left after the shakeup but this seemed destined to happen.
  16. Potential Rule 5 guys: Gabriel Moreno Otto Lopez Kevin Smith Josh Winckowski Chavez Young Ty Tice Samad Taylor Ryan Noda Riley Adams You have to protect Moreno. Ty Tice is the type of guy that doesn't get protected and someone takes a flier on him. Winckowski could maybe get grabbed so I think he's a debatable case to add to the 40-man. Otto Lopez is probably too raw for a team to use a positional player roster spot on him. Still maybe worth protecting him. So, they probably need two or three 40-man spots need for these guys, I think.
  17. There isn't any substance here but I'll post this alternate site report anyways: https://www.mlb.com/bluejays/news/blue-jays-alternate-site-report
  18. After 11 of the first 36 games to start the season went to extra innings, the Blue Jays haven't gone to extras since September 3rd. A streak of 22 games.
  19. Tropicana field has been a house of horrors for the Blue Jays since the Rays became consistently good starting in 2008. They are 39-81 for a .325 winning percentage since 2008. But the record doesn't even tell the whole story. So many of the loses have been soul-crushers where the Blue Jays should have won the game. Either ******** luck for the Rays or late collapses by the Blue Jays. It might not be the most rational thing in the world but Blue Jays fans don't want to see the games take place there because of all those memories. http://mcubed.net/mlb/tor/tb.shtml
  20. Welcome to the board. This place isn't quite as active as it once was so it's always good to have new members. Feel free to ask any questions.
  21. He's also got a lil' combed-back look going on there. Go Ross!
  22. The playoffs were easy to make
  23. Damn. First and foremost, RIP to the 3 people, of course. But he looked like a good prospect. He was great when the Blue Jays played the Bucs this spring.
