    Apparently, he will start one of the double header games on Friday. Ray following Merryweather tonight. Not sure what that means about either pitcher's role for the rest of the season. My guess is Stripling is more likely to be in the rotation than Ray.

    Villar playing SS and batting 3rd tonight.

    I'm fine with Shaw against RHP. Might as well see if that EV/hard hit rate can turn into better production with more PA's. Just bat him lower in the lineup. Villar should play 3B against LHP once Bichette is back at SS.

    Williams is rule 5 eligible in December 2023. Conine in December 2021. Robertson (if he's the one going for Walker) in December 2022. I don't think it's fair to say cleansing the roster of potential Rule 5 clutter was a consideration in any of these moves. Whether Williams for Stripling was worth doing is another story. I know nothing about Williams and he's a few years away. Stripling comes with 2 years and a month of control, and his numbers as a SP in 2018-19 were very good (176.1 IP, 3.47 ERA, 3.68 FIP, 3.08 xFIP). Given where the Jays are in their competitive cycle, this was likely a fair trade if they envision serious contention in 2021-22, which I'm guessing they do, and if they think Stripling will pitch to his 2018-19 form moving forward (which I'm sure they do otherwise they don't make this move). The only reason this might look bad in hindsight is because the Dodgers player development is excellent, but as mentioned if Williams ends up being even as good as Stripling it would be an accomplishment. Pitching prospects suck.

    I can buy that pulling SPs early is above Buntoyo's pay grade. That is likely an upper management decision. Anyone who is dumb enough to bunt excessively and think Joe Panik is a good MLB player because he's "professional" definitely wouldn't be as 'analytical' with pulling pitchers as Charlie has been.

    If Drury gets picked up by the injury ravaged Yankees or even the Rays, someone will have to periodically check on Atkins to make sure he's not panicking. The Urshela flashbacks will be strong.

    The season will turn around when Joe Panik is batting lead off.
  8. glory
    Espinal will be out for Villar. I like your thinking though.
  9. glory
    Buntoyo must be stopped.

    Jays got Ross Stripling.

    Keep Hatch in next inning, Charles.

    Seriously, what is Vogelbach doing on this team? If you think he has upside, cool, but if you also want to make the playoffs in a good spot, then he's not someone you hoard on your roster.

    Even if removing Anderson is the right call, bringing Font in is not. (And for the record, I would have had no issues keeping Chase in).

    I hope they got him to try to sneak him through waivers. There is no reason to have 3 DH's on the roster.
  16. glory
    I like the Villar pickup (assuming nothing of real value is being traded). Solid utility player with speed, and hopefully enough vetrin presents to push Panik down in Charlie's eyes.

    There isn't much time to help him figure it out, but for Bergen, why not?

    Unfortunately the only GM who seems to value fat/slow DH's is Atkins. From Morales, to Tellez, to Vogelbach. I don't think other teams are going to be giving up any value for these types of players. If anything, the Jays should be using the DH spot to get Fisher more plate appearances, as at least he has speed/power/walks combo that is a bit more appealing.

    Panik's been good the last 4 games. That's four more good games than he needed to have in order for Buntoyo to keep spoon feeding him playing time, but I'll look on the bright side.

    Ken Rcsenthal is never wrong.
  22. glory
    He is a free agent after this season. He would be a one month rental.
  23. glory
    Villar would be a good pickup.
  24. glory
    Damn, I wish Preller was buying in 2018-19. The one time the Jays are buyers, and Preller is trading prospects like candy.
  25. glory
    Wow, this deadline has been way more lively than I thought.
