I like the fact that it seems we got some really promising guys signed and we seem to have some really good luck with getting talent this way. Hopefully the luck continues and it' great that these kids want to sign with us.

Yeah this place is totally turning gay so in about 45 days we can rank the Jays in order of hotness.

Back when I was in my early teens my town didn't have a little league team but we did have a fairly well funded "Rec Center" league. It was a building that was basically a private YMCA on steroids. My coach the two years I played (12 and 13 years old) told us to go out there and have fun and he and the other coaches who were volunteers taught us the fundamentals of the game and how to get better through patience and practice. I remember Chuck had three rules: 1) if you step out of the box while swinging it was 10 pushups, 2) if you let a ball go through your legs, 10 pushups, and 3) if you want to fight a teammate you both have to carry a 5 gallon bucket filled with sand around the field and then you can fight afterwards. In my opinion youth sports shouldn't be about winning it should be about developing people. Less than 1% of the population will be professional players so why act like actually winning a regional baseball tournament when you're 13 actually matters? We were a very good team both years I played and the second season we won the league championship, but I still remember a game where Chuck lost his cool on an umpire (volunteer dad asked before the game) calling balls and strikes and after the game he took the field to apologize to everyone for his behavior. Unless you're on a high school team youth sports should be about learning, getting better, having fun, learning teamwork and how to be a part of a team. Just my two cents.

The last thing you said is what I'm thinking. I'm thinking the front office is thinking about getting some money ready to add at the deadline when we see what needs to be addressed a little more clearly.

You still would have been blessed. #Blessedup

I think the issue is we will have to adapt the Hottest Blue Jays contest where someone they all hate is now number 1

I hope Shatkins are looking into Cody and Alex Reyes.

I could actually see that. They are competing and Jano won't be super expensive.

I'm starting to think that Olerud363 is actually John Olerud. If that is the case I want to personally thank him. So a few years ago there was a company that would collect late 80s and early 90s baseball cards (essentially worthless ones) and repack them into packs of like 20 to sell at Dollar Tree stores. Once you got I believe 3 pack wrappers you could mail it in and they would send you a signed card. I would ask politely for a Blue Jay autograph and after I got my Garth Iorg autographed card I got one of John Olerud that apparently he had made specifically for mail in autograph requests. I think that's worth at least 3 WAR towards his HOF career.

This may be unpopular but I'd keep all 3 and try Gabby at a few more positions to give him versatility. He signed as an infielder so I'm assuming he spent most of his baseball life playing there and could probably play a passable corner outfield spot. Edit: But I do think the front office moves one and I'd guess Jansen.

If I recall correctly no one was really devastated when Romano was taken in the Rule 5 draft he was just viewed as an average middle reliever. I hate when saves are blown and we lose the game but he went from a Rule 5 return to a pitcher many view as an elite back end pitcher. Everyone has bad games.

Olerud is incapable of only typing one sentence.

I remember a list ranking the hottest Jays was a fun thread.

He would be courteous and put some on without needing to be asked.

I want to see Kirk's bitch tits bounce as much as possible.

Spank he was a SS when we signed him. I wouldn't be surprised.

Cleveland will not be sniffing the playoff and won't care about either of those issues as long as he is cheap.

He has 1.2 WAR in 64 ABs. He'll be staying in Cleveland the whole year.

In my shop we charge the same for each so you're paying the same amount for a bone you can't eat. Owner loves it . Not trying to break your balls or anything just trying to give you information. Meat cutting is like the one thing I know more about than normal people.

A "Tomahawk" steak is just a ribeye that the rib cage has been frenched (taking the little bit of meat out from between most of the rib. They are essentially the same thing.

Am I the only one that doesn't think Bo needs to be moved off shortstop?

I only really collect game used and autographed cards of Jays players but I have good luck with eBay. From my experience if you buy from the same person frequently they are really personable with you. There is a guy who went to a lot of spring training games for years and would get cards signed in person. He sold them in 10 card lots and when I kept buying them he asked me to provide a list of players he had already sent me so I wouldn't get doubles (he asked if I wanted doubles and I told him I'd prefer not).

I'm not much of a drinker but if you are intoxicated why would you break any traffic rules? Stay between the lines, stop completely at all stop signs and lights, and follow the speed limit.
