  1. Yarbrough was mildly intriguing but I like Yariel more as the swing man. Then on top of it we have Lovelady and Little as lefties who I probably like more. Then Sandlin is effective against lefties too. You can’t keep everyone and Yarbrough simply got pinched in the end.
  2. Lovelady seems solid but Barnes sucks.
  3. Looks like Nance and Lovelady for the bullpen then. Keeping Lukes and Straw over Barger makes sense with Roden and Wagner making the team. The latter two will play a lot and when Varsho is back there will be a bit of a logjam. Barger can get everyday reps and be the first man up when an injury happens. Overall I’d say they made the right decisions.
  4. They probably had to dip into their trade deadline budget lol This is it for additions for the rest of the year
  5. If Varsho starts on the IL we have 5 spots for the following 6 players: Wagner Lukes Schneider Barger Straw Roden
  6. Bautista might not be ready to face us on Opening Day either
  7. No kidding. Normally I don't care one iota about spring performance unless I'm huffing hopium but he's been so damn bad I can't help but be a little alarmed.
  8. Wagner's plays at 3B today changed a lot. At times I was wondering if Barger or even Vlad should get some games at 3B but there's no way they could make plays like Wagner did. Especially on that ball he had to charge. I'm obviously not completely sold but he should definitely get a crack at it and along with Clement they should have it covered until proven otherwise.
  9. I'd probably do similar. Maybe keep Vlad-Taters-Bo at 2-3-4 against both lefties and righties. Springer can bat leadoff against lefties. But Springer better get off to a hot start! Barger, Roden and plenty of other options are nipping at his heels
  10. Yeah I'd like to see Nance get a shot. His Stuff+ ratings are among the best.
  11. Fangraphs is doing their yearly positional power rankings. Jays off to a great start: Catcher: 4th 1B: 1st 2B: 3rd https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2025-positional-power-rankings-second-base/
  12. Yeah it hasn't been a disastrous Spring, but I definitely have my concerns with the pitching too. Though to be fair, I think most teams in the league can say the same.
  13. It's pathetic! Your average high school team has better tech at their ballparks! What a trash organization.
  14. Anytime you trash an AL East rival you get a "what about the Jays?" reply. But it's not a zero-sum game to me. I can enjoy Gerrit Cole blowing out his elbow irrespective of the Jays having a mediocre team on a bloated budget. Whether it's reading reports that Stanton can't even wipe his own ass anymore because his arms are so shot, to the Jays winning the Grapefruit league, to the Yanks trying to downplay Luis Gil blowing out his arm, etc....as a certified Yankee-hater and Jays fan it warms my heart all the same.
  15. Yeah Lovelady is out of options so you'd have to think that if they are adding him to the 40 it means they are adding him to the 26 man as well.
  16. Schneider just oppo-homered off Aaron Nola. He's having a good spring.
  17. That's a great article. I've been higher on Springer than most due to the bad luck he's suffered but that's only part of the problem as he's getting passed up by younger players now. Ultimately I would love to see a trade. Springer for Montgomery or something would have been a good one but we could also just trade a Buffalo Boy or two and try to get more pitching depth.
  18. The only thing with Roden is that Barger and Wagner are also interesting lefties. I agree that messing with Roden's service time isn't a big deal, but I guess I'd rather take the extra year than not. So unless they think he can win ROTY I might start him off in MiLB and let Barger and Wagner (and frankly Springer as well) show what they've got for 3 weeks. Unless there is a way to find playing time for all 3 of them?
  19. Wise up, quit your cha-cha dancing, and learn some ball Marc Anthony! It's time to get this Vlad extension done!
