Once we get Jansen back this might be the best bench the Jays have had in my lifetime (been watching since '91). Maybe the best in franchise history.
This is as much a comment on how bad our benches have been as it is how good this year's version is. I think maybe 2015 is the best I've seen.
Ok if this doesn't get me an apology nothing will Dean.
And don't forget that ACTIONS (in the form of a Swiss Chalet Gift card) speaks far louder than mere words.
I just want everyone to know that I was on Jace Bohrofen long before Spanky was. If he breaks out I deserve the credit, not Spanky.
Holy s*** these are "bold" predictions not borderline impossible Spanky.
"The Cardinal Way" included all the platitudes like high character players who hustled. But it also included embracing analytics and developing young talent.
It seems like they've let the latter stagnate while still embracing the former and it's led to a stale front office.
They are still building the team like it's 2008-2012. Some of those things still work with their trades and FA signings and even a little player development here and there. But they badly need an update.
Pop and Zulu are annoying. Both have good stuff but Pop can't command his slider and Zulu can't command anything.
Agree on Little. Lefty with that kind of stuff and 3 options is a nice guy to have around.
I would want to keep Pop as well. He's only got 1 pitch but he's shown that he can be useful enough to keep around while he has options. He's only a year older than Zulu who still has wild control issues that don't seem to be getting better at all.
Agree on Danner. After switching from Catcher he also dealt with a torn UCL so he only has 80 professional innings but he's looked good in that short time frame.
I would like to take a page out of Jim's book here and go on record as an owner of Ohtani in a dynasty league:
I believe everything he said today 100%.
End the witch hunt and let this man get back to being the greatest baseball player since Babe Ruth.
It's definitely a thing! It's just not always up to the victim. But if the victim doesn't want to press charges and the victim isn't going to be a motivated witness for the prosecution it can definitely play a factor.
