    It's definitely going to be interesting on how teams strategize these ABS reviews. Do you prioritize your catchers who have a better view over your hitters and pitchers? Do you want to let your best hitters use them? And prevent your bad hitters from using them? Do you save them for late in the game? Or use them in important ABs like 2 outs and runners on base, even if its early? If guys like Vlad keep burning through them without any success do you take them away and give them to guys who are more successful in applying the rule? Or do you just let everyone use them but only do so if you are 100 percent sure? You just know the Rays are maximizing this crap and are going to steal a game from us down in Tampa this year because of it.

    I'm literally getting tarred and feathered over suggesting Grandal could start 100 games

    I was hoping Scherzer could repeat his 2023 season for us. But what if he repeats his 2022 season for us instead?

    He'd be a great add over the turds we've got. He might add close to a WAR for 5 mil or so? The problem is that he's probably good enough to start close to 100 games. We've got a great Catcher already so he'd be looking at 40 games. So I think he'll probably look elsewhere.

    Pitchers should probably refrain from challenging strike calls when Kirk is catching. They are probably subject to his framing just like the umps are. Just let Kirk handle that.

    Oh hell yeah brother...Team Positive is getting the band back together

    I know it's early, but this team looks incredible so far 3-0
  9. Terminator
    That combination sounds like baseball hell
  10. Terminator
    Kirk has been tattooing the ball so far this spring

    Vlad will probably use them up in his first AB

    I listened to it a few days ago. One of the two was more on Vlad's side the other was more on the team's side but neither really disagreed a whole lot. They get into a good 5 minute discussion about how letting him hit FA might actually be the best way to agree on a contract though of course it's not guaranteed.
  14. Terminator
    Yeah that's a good listen. Much better takes than what the US national media is pushing.

    At that point just throw in another 5 years for 50 to 100 million to lower the tax hit.

    To be fair to OP, Zips just cooked the franchise on Fangraphs today. But if you dive into the actual article, he says that his own projections system wouldn't even have offered Vlad the supposed $340 mil that the Jays already offered. So I guess he doesn't trust his own numbers?
  17. Terminator
    Yeah I'm pretty skeptical that it's actually 97-98. But even if he can sit at 95 that would be a boost to his profile when he was sitting at 93-94 last year.

    Vlad could stand in the middle of Yonge Street and shoot somebody, and he wouldn't lose any of his supporters who would still find a way to blame Ross Atkins

    Not so fast my friend! I would have brought in new leadership but by giving them another year Shatkins has another chance to stick around and make this work. If a couple of Buffalo Boys surprise, the pitching remains healthy-ish, and we get big walk years from Vlad and Bo (all of which is very possible), this team could make some noise.

    It's obviously early but the Jays tend to stick guys at one position and let them play there more than most teams. They obviously have their OF/INF UT guys but they usually make their corner OFs pick one spot and the same can be said for fringe infielders. So if we were going to glean anything from the first two spring games: Barger getting his lone start at 3B could be a tell that they plan on mixing him in there as much as they do the outfield. Orelvis has yet to play 3B but has played 2B and DH'd and I've seen some local writers speculate that he could see a lot of time DHing. Loperfido started his lone game in CF. Does he have the leg up on CF while Varsho is out? Lukes played RF. Is he not under consideration to be the Varsho replacement in CF? Roden has played LF and RF. In the past the Jays seemed to stick with one corner. I wonder if Barger's disastrous debut in LF after only playing RF changed their thinking on that a little. McAdoo has played both games at 3B. He's behind in the timeline but he's a lot more interesting if he can stick at 3B.

    It's going to be interesting to see what the heck they do with all of these Buffalo Boys, especially since they all have options. They have a shitload of these guys. Even the ones who seem glossed over like Lukes look like decent bench players. I'd love to see a trade for more pitching depth.
  22. Terminator
    I don't know I haven't thought that far out yet. That might work though with Wagner at DH. But I'd also like to see Martinez in there some at DH/3B. I'm all for manipulating service time as well unless we think one of these guys can win ROY.
  23. Terminator
    I've seen enough. Alan Roden is our Opening Day leftfielder.
  24. Terminator
    That's an interesting development. If he can sustain that he will have raised his ceiling quite a bit.
  25. Terminator
    Aside from the money, I think a lot of this is him simply raising his profile. He just likes being a star and likes the attention. Getting to go through free agency Aaron Judge/Juan Soto style is going to give him headlines all season and then he'll be one of the biggest names in all of sports this offseason. Normally a guy like that might shy away from TO but I think having him here it will actually help. Dominicans don't exactly light the world on fire in the US with endorsements. I bet Vlad can get more of that in Canada as a homegrown star than he can anywhere else.
