  1. This is to backfill a AAA call up I assume
  2. What can we get fit Gurriels Hair at the deadline
  3. I'm ambivalent on whether or not Semian should get traded because I don't know the return. But exchanging assets/balance sheet for wins now in general doesn't seem like a smart organizational decision. How to maximize Semian's post trade-line WAR is beyond my pay grade, but I assume that Shatkins can find a way to shift Semian's wins to next year or the year after.
  4. No, I just think that I want the Jays to build a durable winner rather than a team that's always trading away assets. The holes we would need to fill as buyers: 1. An entire bullpen 2. Back end of the rotation and rotation depth 3. A third baseman 4. Catcher: we have a starter that can't hit, and a bunch of guys whose experience you count in innings rather than games. That's not a buy-at-the-deadline type of team that you can upgrade from .500 to a WS contender. It's not the window to buy this year.
  5. Springer is a long term signing. If Shatkins thought this was a win now year, then they are delusional. I assume they are being objective about where the Jays are on the curve. I guess if they want to cater to the fanbase instead of thinking long term they might be in buy mode. But this isn't the year.
  6. They're not winning much this year. It's fun to see them on the cusp. Shatkins should still be in maximizing asset management mode.
  7. If you don't sign him, I think it makes sense to trade him. The comp pick isn't good enough, and we're not in our window yet.
  8. Romano knows the playbook. A late lead cannot stand.
  9. That wasn't even really a mistake. 97 just off the plate and low
  10. I've been watching baseball since 1982. Trust me, they are all plenty stupid enough.
  11. That Tellez AB was one of the worst ABs I've seen all season.
  12. just a guess, but I think the best manager in baseball would outperform montoyo with this team by more like 4-6 wins this season (2 wins greater than average, and 2-4 wins more than montoyo). That's what...a $25 million player worth of wins?
  13. I meant on average. An average manager might only earn you a couple of wins a year. But you can have a manager that is significantly below average that costs you far more relative to the average than a good manager earns you.
  14. I think we now know that Managers might not get you extra wins, but they certainly can get you extra losses.
