    Romano warming up. Not sure why they didn't use Pearson when it was 5-1 last night.

    Dyson as a pinch runner and defensive replacement is definitely an asset, even when his bat is washed.
  3. glory
    It was a perfect storm for Jeter. A HOF career on one of the most valuable franchises in sports, in the biggest media market, and 5 championships.
  4. glory
    I think I'd be fine with that regardless of whether it works or not.

    The issue is Biggio's trade value at this point is probably so low that he provides more value to the team than he does in a trade. He still has four years of control left, was a good player prior to 2021, and also fills a position of need since they will need a 2B and 3B next season (assuming Semien leaves). If Semien does leave, then moving Biggio back to 2B and finding a 3B is probably the most sensible plan. If Ramirez and Chapman are available in the winter, then Groshans is a valuable trade piece (though it would require a lot more than that to get Ramirez.......not sure what Chapman's price would look like).

    I was hacked when I suggested they should have considered selling (and buying simultaneously) at the deadline to prepare for 2022. It wasn't actually me. I hate when that happens.

    I feel like Semien would be the better/safer investment, but as others have mentioned Ray is more important to the team from a construction standpoint. Replacing Ray would be very difficult. With Semien, if the Jays traded for someone like Matt Chapman (A's falling out of WC race and potentially moving out of Oakland so maybe it's possible) and moved Biggio back to 2B, then they would save money and probably be a wash value-wise (or only a minor downgrade). It's going to be harder to find a Ray replacement, even if you assume Ray's 2022-beyond won't be ace quality. Attracting pitching to Toronto is not easy as well. Would Ray be easier to bring back? Who knows. It does seem like he likes the org and Pete Walker, and he's already signed back once. Jays are going to have to give him the best offer regardless. Semien always gave off the vibe that he was here because the Jays offered him the most money over one year. Now that his value is back up to normal and more teams will have $ to spend, maybe he'll value other things besides money now since he'll likely get a big deal from someone regardless.

    Buntoyo will use Romano.

    Kirk better play every f***ing game from this point on.

    Sanchez only had one good season in his entire pro career, and it was 2016. Wasn't good before or since (at least as a SP). From memory, his minor league numbers were pretty s*** for a top prospect. This is the first season in Ray's career that he's looked like an ace, but his pre 2020 numbers were good. If the expectation is that he'll be somewhere between his pre 2020 numbers and his 2021 numbers over the next few years, then that's pretty damn good, but if you're expecting him to repeat this season again, then it's probably optimistic. Semien has been a MVP caliber player for the last two full seasons. He's probably the safer bet.

    4D Chess once again.

    Soria was an all star like a decade ago, so in Buntoyo's mind, he has what it takes in the high pressure spots.
  13. glory
    He used Mayza, Richards, and Cimber yesterday, so I'm guessing, what Soria and Pearson to bridge to Romano (assuming the Jays still have a lead after Soria is walking off the field)?
  14. glory
    Use Cimber in a 8-0 game yesterday....... warm up Soria to come into a 4-1 game the next night.
  15. glory
    Even Yankee announcers are wondering why he wasn't walking gingerly back to the dugout after being taken out. Kirk ripped the man's heart out is a more likely explanation.
  16. glory
    As I said before if Springer is not healthy then Kirk is the answer at DH. Of course he’s not a vetrin so I’m sure Charlie will disagree but get Kirk’s bat in the lineup as much as possible.
  17. glory
    Judge almost had two fake home runs in that AB.

    Not only is the season almost over, but Merryweather only has a very finite amount of bullets a season anyway before he gets hurt. Waiting until he does well in AAA just potentially takes some of those bullets away. Call him up, let him throw 100, and hope his arm stays in tact long enough to actually help over the next 3-4 weeks.
  19. glory
    With 3 catchers on the roster, the Jays should definitely DH Kirk if Springer is hurting.
  20. glory
    Of course Yarborough lays an egg when we need him. More reason to hate the Rays.
  21. glory
    How the f*** did Kirk not pinch hit for Jansen??
  22. glory
    Man, I know Merryweather staying on a field for more than 10 seconds is asking a lot (same with Pearson to some degree) but a pen of Romano, Pearson, Merryweather, Mayza, Cimber, and Richards actually looks very formidable. I'm sure Buntoyo will find a way to give Soria a bunch of 7th or 8th inning high leverage spots because of vetrin presents, but if he keeps that to a minimum, then there's real upside for once this season for the pen.
  23. glory
    There is also the impending decision to make on Berrios after 2022. Not sure the team is going to want too many big free agent contracts on the books and then have to deal with Vlad and Bo in a few years (along with rising arb numbers before that). It doesn't mean they won't try to bring both back, but those two + Berrios all being on the 2023 team seems unlikely, although Ryu and Grichuk both coming off the books in two years will help (damn that Grich contract feels like it's Pujols' contract in length).

    The fact that Semien went to the Jays knowing he wouldn't play SS leads me to believe that he will go to the highest bidder regardless. Whether the Jays will end up being the highest bidder for him this winter remains to be seen, but if they are, then I don't think he'll have an issue playing 2B full time and being Bo's backup at SS. Dude wants to get paid, can't blame him. I've said before, if you can get both Semien and Ray locked up on 4 year deals, then go for it. If it goes beyond 4 years, as it could for Ray, then they might have to go a different direction.

    90 wins probably won't be enough. I agree that the only realistic way to make it, or at least greatly improve the odds, is to play better than expected against the Rays and Yankees (and obviously sweeping the A's today) while also doing what they're supposed to do against the O's and Twins. I think 92 or 93 wins at minimum is required as expecting 3 or 4 teams (BOS, NYY, OAK, SEA) to tank simultaneously is asking a lot. So 20-8 the rest of the way might give them a fighting chance, but they probably need to go something like 22-6 or 21-7. The margin for error is basically none.
