Honestly I considered Endy Rodriguez at 2, so I was a little despaired seeing him almost land to me at 10 only to get sniped one pick prior. Catching prospect and all what a season he just had.
-
Queue didn’t work for me either.
-
f*** my life.
-
Meh, both guys are just post hype reclamation projects of sorts. Puk is still pretty wild and doesn’t exactly limit hard contact. Bleday has that former top 5 pick shine and is neither a pitcher nor a reliever and did fine in AAA last season with far more control.
-
Mo Bamba is nowhere near Poeltl in value lol. He couldn’t even get minutes on a s***** Magic roster.

It was fine just days ago but it’s been garbage for the draft room in particular, on mobile. Can’t even scroll. -
Sam Huff available for a pick in this draft, on an upgrade on pick 70 (4-10).
-
It’s next year’s pick, so they’ll get a new slate to end up with a good record and the have the pick be away from the lottery.
-
Don’t think the Magic move Isaac unless they think he’ll be limited minutes wise going forward. He has best defender in the NBA potential with a pretty refined offensive game for a defense-carrying player. Bamba would be interesting based on physical tools but he’s kind of squandered his chances in Orlando who are awful which is a big red flag.
-
Belt, Conforto or Amed Rosario for a pick or prospect anyone? Could also move multiple of those guys.
-
This basically just means he's as injured as they expected him to be. i.e. his arm is still in its socket, no additional broken bones, repaired elbow(?) looks fine, recovery period is what they projected it to be when looking at signing him.
-
Has to be, he’ll be out for likely all of 2023, maybe an outside shot to return late second half.
-
I don’t think there’s ever going to be an issue where Greinke gets on the ballot with 10 surefire HOFs at the same time for even a single ballot, let alone his entire cycle. He’ll get in easily within 2 or 3 if the idiotic BBWA writers don’t vote him in first time. Greinke is an extremely uncontroversial player off the field, quirky personality and all. His three closest (better) contemporaries are Kershaw, Max and Verlander and those guys will all get on their first ballot.

Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)
Orgfiller replied to Pendleton's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The disrespect to Reed Johnson's iconic goatee. But yeah that's Joe Inglett. -
IMO yes. His closest comp WAR wise is Roy Halladay funny enough, literally currently identical WAR figures, where you trade some prime/peak years performance for longevity. Won a Cy Young during his insane 2009 season, and aside from non pitcher specific duties he also has been an elite defender at his position his entire career - with 6 GGs to show for it for what it's worth - and has two Silver Sluggers as one of those rare pitchers that didn't completely embarrass himself at the plate back when that was still a thing. The biggest drawback is you probably wouldn't say he was at one point necessarily the downright best pitcher in the game (09 season aside), which Halladay was, but I think it's unfair to dock him for existing in the same timeframe as Doc himself, Kershaw, Verlander, Max Scherzer and 2018-2020 deGrom, when he was still an ace himself. He's 4th in WAR behind those three contemporaries of his since his debut and those guys are all first ballot HOF.
-
Gose was at least a year ahead in development though. At 20 Brown did A and a bit of A+, at the same age Gose did a full season of AA with better K and BB rates, similar/better power, and he also stole 70 bases to boot. He would then hold his own at AAA for a full year before getting a cup of coffee in the MLB at 21. Brown will likely do A+ again and if he progresses well will end the year at AA.

Cole Irving is gonna make a career out of eating cromulent innings in huge parks that favour him.

Countdown to ST (in Jays jersey numbers)
Orgfiller replied to Pendleton's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Jesus Christ those late 90s/early 2000s players were f***ing yolked. Steroids really is a hell of a drug. -
Springs was great last year but there’s too much Nestor Cortes there for my liking. That is to say, it’s a lot of deception + smoke and mirrors but he’s probably still quite good, I just would be constantly afraid that he would get figured out and be a junk baller from there onwards. It’s Tampa though, they’ll find a way to perfectly hide him and squeeze out multiple 3 WAR seasons before flipping him for another prospect who turns into an ace with a year left to go in his deal before he finally becomes a pumpkin.
-
If you do end up moving him I have a couple of cheaper 1B options to plug the hole he would leave behind.
-
He’s kind of a headcase these days (even ignoring the previous DV incident) and too wild to make up for being a diva I guess. Smart deal by the Royals, nobody cares about your team so the PR hit or whatever is small, and if Chapman rediscovers his control you trade him at the deadline for a legit prospect, otherwise you only paid him to be barely above replacement and the sunk cost is little.
-
Options are king for the fringe roster guys. Yeah Thornton, Hatch and Gage blow, but at least you can juggle them between AAA and the MLB as much as you want for another year. Merryweather has a s*** Spring or makes the MLB team and blows? Welp, you have to lose him anyway as he can't go down anyway. Mayza literally throws from the left side so you more or less need to keep him around. Richards has big time K numbers so if he stops walking every other hitter he could be a very valuable middle relief option. Mitch White is probably too good for AAA so you wanna see what he has. And then you have some young guys that could contribute later in the season/out of the bullpen that you can't get rid of in Pop, Pearson, Hagen Danner, etc.
-
At this point I feel like I’d rather have Junior Fernandez in AAA over Merryweather and his lack of options. At least one of them is 25 and threw over 50 pro ball innings last season, something that Merryweather barely accomplished in his entire tenure combined with the Jays since 2017. Junior is relatively young and there’s a bit more time to figure out if you can unlock him, Merryweather has been bad since 2020 and can’t stay off the IL. It was honestly time to cut bait or hope he could pass waivers so you could stash him until we needed 3 more innings from him before he got injured again.
-
TIL Elvis Andrus has 35 career fWAR. That's more than, say, player who you probably believe is better: Starling Marte (and they're the same age!). He also just put up 3.5 WAR in his best hitting season since 2017, and posted a career second-best 17 homers. Despite all of this, he's somehow still a free agent.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
Orgfiller replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
You just listed a bunch of busts on the position player side with a puzzling Alex Rios addition. Only Devon Travis was a victim to injuries, the rest just sucked outright. I guess for Brett Lawrie you could say coke addiction as an illness/injury.
