    Yeah I agree, he's probably one of the last guys in right now. Anymore additions and he's out. We could probably move him for a rookie ball lotto ticket.
  2. Terminator
    We've moved on from this topic.
  3. Terminator
    Yeah he's nothing special but you could certainly do worse than him as one of the last guys in your pen for $1.5M.
  4. Terminator
    Hell yeah. Dude has a lower ERA the past two years than Edwin Diaz.

    Yeah it's easy to say we'll see some movement in the pen or that we need to add some guys and just drop everyone down a peg but there are 40 man roster considerations that will play heavy factor which was the point of my original post. If we add a 1B to Romano (that's a pretty damn good reliever) then we have to kick Merryweather or Richards to the curb for basically nothing. That's not a huge deal I guess but that's with Pop (who is pretty damn good in his own right) already being optioned. Further adding to the logjam is what we'll do with White and Kikuchi. I assume White, who is out of options, will be the long man in the pen but I wouldn't mind seeing what Kikuchi could do in the pen as well. His numbers as a reliever were electric and you can survive in the pen with a BB/9 around 5. As a starter that is much more difficult. But if he's in the pen then that's another one of the 8 bullpen spots being taken.

    Would you two please shut the hell up?

    Can't say I've ever taken money from a job only to turn around and completely mail it in like the Blue Jays did when they coughed up the biggest playoff lead in the past 100 years lol

    Ok let's get things back on track here. Do we actually have TOO MANY good relievers? We can only carry 13 pitchers and 5 are starters. That leaves 8 relievers. The following are under contract for next year: Locks: Jordan Romano Anthony Bass Yimi Garcia Adam Cimber Tim Mayza Trevor Richards Has options but otherwise would be a lock: Zach Pop Out of options so likely to make it?: Julian Merryweather Starters who could move to the bullpen: Yusei Kikuchi Mitch White (out of options) 40 man guys with options Trent Thornton (could be non-tendered, proj to make $1.1M in arb) Nate Pearson Taylor Saucedo Thomas Hatch Hagen Danner Anthony Kay Foster Griffin Matt Gage If you take the guys on the Locks list plus Zach Pop and Julian Merryweather that's 8 right there without including Mitch White. I guess we could option Pop and keep White and have Kikuchi as the #5, all of which is a possibility, but if we sign any relievers more additional moves will need to be made. I expect we'll see some trades this offseason involving relievers. I could see Richards being moved, for example.

    They actually got paid extra for those games against the Mariners? LOL

    I feel partly to blame because it all started when a little known and not very well respected poster admitted to everyone that he was clout chasing by taking swings at The Sheriff. But in my defense it was easy, all I had to do was list a few facts about Alejandro Kirk (way more impressive age 23 season than Mike Piazza btw) and he tied himself up into knots like a pretzel by going on a horrific and racist rant.
  11. Terminator
    LOL nice try pal. You tried taking “a little jab” at the Sheriff and instead you outed yourself as a racist. Let this be a lesson for ya, when you take a swing at the Sheriff you best not miss (ask real life celebrity Roy Firestone if you can even find him). Better luck next time.

    Jays are kind of a bad fit anyway. Logan O'Hoppe isn't THAT great but he's the Angels best prospect. They have a whole lot of needs and C would rank pretty far down the list so I think they'd want something other than Moreno or Kirk, if the Jays would even consider giving up one of those two.
  13. Terminator
    No it's true. Simonetti is legit.

    Yeah they are going to be good. Kiermaier coming off the books is like when Stanton finally comes off the Yankees books. Looks like a 3-team race with the Orioles possibly able to make some noise as well. Red Sox a last placed team but probably pretty good for a last placed team.
  16. Terminator
    If they do lose Judge they'll use that money on other pieces. Not sure that makes them any better though. They will reload and I'd imagine they will spend quite a bit. They have in house options to replace SS so that will save them money. Depending on how the offseasons go the Jays could come into the season as the AL East favorites but we'll see.

    How good are the Yankees going to be next year?
  19. Terminator
    Wow Jim

    The 2021 Braves were garbage and one of the worst teams to ever win the World Series. Look at what they trotted out there to clinch it in game 6. 1. Eddie Rosario 2. Jorge Soler 3. Freeman 4. Austin Riley 5. Adam Duvall 6. Joc Pederson 7. Ozzie Albies 8. Travis d'Arnaud 9. Dansby Swanson Max Fried threw 6 innings followed by Tyler Matzek and Will Smith. I don't even know if Rosario, Soler and Duvall are in the league still. If they are they might not deserve to be. Fried is good but Matzek and Smith are pretty mediocre late inning relievers. That team got lucky as hell.
  21. Terminator
    The 2021 team was relying on turds like Soler and Duvall too. It's night and day.
  22. Terminator
    Britton played more games at C this year than OF which should help his stock some.
  23. Terminator
    In the regular season I think their better depth wins out. In a 7 game series where you go with 4 starters and you move everyone else to the pen then it's pretty close. Nola and Wheeler probably edge out Gausman and Manoah but it's close. Then it would be Suarez and Gibson vs. Stripling and Berrios. Also pretty close. I guess we can go with the Phillies but it's damn close. EDIT: Wait they are going with Bailey Falter in the playoffs not Gibson. Doesn't change much though.
  24. Terminator
    I think the Jays might be better than the Phillies in every aspect of the game other than the rotation. Better lineup, defense, bullpen and bench. Rotations are very similar talentwise. Probably have to call that a draw. Nola = Gausman Wheeler = Manoah Suarez < Stripling Gibson = Berrios
  25. Terminator
    Yeah I'm going for the Astros. The new playoff format seems to be good for casual fans but it does kind of suck that 85-89 win teams will seemingly be playing deep into the postseason almost every year now. Hopefully the Jays can at least get in on that in the future.
