    Romano really giving me a Jean-Ralphio from Parks & Rec vibe here...
  2. Deadpool
    We call that "The Cito Effect"
  3. Deadpool
    It's not.
  4. Deadpool
    You're not wrong, but with this team as currently constructed I'm not at all worried about giving 400 ABs to Grichuk. Bat him 8th or 9th, and hope we get more of his hot streaks than usual this year.
  5. Deadpool
    I don't know that I take a 39 year old Brett Gardner over Grichuk... He was always a pest against the Jays, but I don't really see that as an upgrade, unless you REALLY value "left handed" over everything else, which I don't.
  6. Deadpool
    I think this is more a question that can be answered after the season. On paper I give a slight edge to 2022 (I mean, Chris Colabello as both your 1B AND your first bench option? He very much outplayed his ability in both of those roles.)
  7. Deadpool
    I doubt they're trying to add a 2B, I think they were just doing due diligence on Ramirez, and would take him if the cost was alright (as he is an obvious upgrade over Biggio). I don't think they view 2B as a hole, but if you can toss a 6 WAR player there, you obviously do that.
  8. Deadpool
    I don't really think you need to give Biggio DH reps, even if he bounces back. Unless there's some serious need to get both he and Espinal into a game at the same time, but I can't see that happening. Of course, we do have Chuckles, so you never know what that dude will do...
  9. Deadpool
    The Jays are absolutely set, and they definitely do not need a 38 year old 1B making $22.5M. They also don't need Ramirez. Or Freeman. Chapman was the last offensive piece they need, barring maybe a bench/util type. They also could possibly use some bullpen help.
  10. Deadpool
    Vasquez is a really interesting sign, and the fact that he's got an option improves that deal a lot. I think there's a good chance he breaks camp w/ the team though.
  11. Deadpool
    Espinal actually graded as a better 3B than Chapman last year. Obviously defensive stats are a bit less black and white than pitching/batting stats, and Espinal also played less than half the innings at 3B so the sample size is smaller, but he's a VERY good defender (though definitely not better than Chapman, despite the stats...)
  12. Deadpool
    Alright Chapman, you've got 3 days to get settled in before I expect to see you absolutely ballin'!
  13. Deadpool
    There's still another Dickerson out there...
  14. Deadpool
    There are very few situations where Chapman would be playing anywhere but 3B, maybe as an in-game injury replacement or something, but there's really no need to ever start him at SS.
  15. Deadpool
    And no Joe Panik. People overlook that a lot.
  16. Deadpool
    Consider me against trading for Ramirez unless it's a stupid low cost in prospect capital. We don't need to score 15 runs every game, we have a very good rotation and a passable pen, and I would still like to have some flexibility 3 years from now (financially and prospects wise). He'd OBVIOUSLY make the team better, but the team is already really good and I'm not sure an upgrade to the infield is necessary to be the best team in the AL East, and the cost will be substantial.
  17. Deadpool
    I thought 26 was just the default roster size now? Was that only a pandemic thing? Yep, default roster size is 26 now. https://www.marca.com/en/mlb/2022/03/07/62264aea22601d0c4e8b45cc.html
  18. Deadpool
    Depends how big the opening day roster is, there was talk about a larger early season roster due to the shortened spring training... They may try to sneak him through, or they may carry 3 catchers (one doing a lot of DHing...)
  19. Deadpool
    He didn't have a QO attached, so... that's not at all relevant
  20. Deadpool
    Check the Rosterbation thread.
  21. Deadpool
    When we're already first in the AL East by 15 games?
  22. Deadpool
    Definitely, but will depend on how Groshans/Moreno/Martinez develop this year I'd suspect.
  23. Deadpool
    As already answered, Rule 5 was cancelled this year, but to add to that, Kevin Smith wasn't exposed to the rule 5 draft. It's only players who aren't on the 40 man roster (which he was) and who have a certain amount of playing time (depending on if they were a high school, or college draftee, or IFA). Basically the only people who are ever exposed in the rule 5 are players that the vast majority of fans have never heard of, unless they're the types who dig through prospect lists. (We did have 2 guys who would have been exposed this season who were at least interesting...)
  24. Deadpool
    The Guardians do not have to trade Ramirez for what we feel comfortable giving them. There's zero chance we land Ramirez for Gurriel ++ (or Pearson +)
  25. Deadpool
    Ridiculous on its face. Not threadworthy!
