    Are we really worried about super 2 status with Biggio? He's 24. He's under team control through 30 regardless and doesn't seem like someone who would be hard to extend if it came down to it (whereas Vlad likely sees $200-300M mil in his future so he's less likely to take a deal). I don't mind letting him get more AAA at bats, but calling him up now would be fine too.

    In the "I had no idea he was doing this well" category: Espinal: 136 wRC+, 6.9 BB%, 16.7 K%, 27.8 LD%, 40.7 FB% With Bichette hurt and Biggio on way the up soon (hopefully), he should get some consideration to move up a level.

    Smart move promoting it two days in advance. Not sure how much of an attendance boost they will get, but Friday night with no competition from the Raptors and Leafs might give them a decent crowd.
  4. glory
    That seems like a good spot for him, especially if we need a good bunt in the 3rd inning.
  5. glory
    Seriously, just lost a one run game in which Vlad should have been up. It's laughable.

    Forrest Wall is suddenly an OBP machine in AA (no power though). Walk rate has gone up, K's down.

    How in the world is saying he looks like a reliever writing him off? Dude has two pitches and gives up a s*** ton of hard contact. Sure we can give him a chance this year since the team isn't going to contend, but that doesn't mean we can't call what we see.

    So far Thornton looks like a reliever to me, and I hate saying that because I want so badly for him to disprove Keith "the douchebag" Law.
  9. glory
    Pretty good chance Thornton sucks, ya’ll.

    I actually side with Anderson on this one. MLB is trying to be SJW to keep up with the times, but old white men suspending a black man for using the N Word is so ridiculous that there is no way that comes off well from an optics standpoint.
  11. glory
    f***.

    Is there any update on Bichette? Surprising that we haven't heard anything yet.

    If Vlad were to debut Friday and the team hyped it up for a few days, what would the attendance look like? I think people are greatly overstating fans in Toronto, especially Blue Jays fans. They are the definition of bandwagon. I don't even think Vlad will do much of anything to attendance/fan interest unless it directly results to the team winning/contending. In other words, call his ass up now on the same day the Raptors and Leafs are playing. Who cares?

    Yeah no way Shatkins signs Keuchel if they lose a pick over it.
  15. glory
    Still early but yes that’s a bad sign, especially since he wasn’t good in AAA last season either. The plate discipline that made him such an intriguing prospect two years ago is gone. Hopefully he turns things around.
  16. glory
    Goddamn it. Hope it is not as bad as it looked.

    Tanking because you are absolutely devoid of talent is one thing, but tanking when you have a roster full of young players that the front office believes in plus a lot more on the way seems counter productive. If the team wins 77-82 games this season, that means the young players are better than anticipated. I think you take that over finishing with 68 wins and every young player on the team being s***, even if it results in a top 5 pick. This isn't the NBA. A #1 pick in the NBA could turn a bad team into a great team over night depending on who is there. Baseball works a lot differently. As far as the rotation, Keuchel on a one year deal would be sweet if he's willing to do it. But I can't see Shatkins giving up a draft pick for him. More likely we are staring at the possibility of Gio Gonzalez making the roster.

    I think he's referring to Krylian saying "Best not bring it up but celebrate in private." Either way tanking in baseball is stupid. In the case of the Jays, they are playing a bunch of young players, with even more on the way (Vlad, Biggio, Alford, etc). You want them to win as many games as possible so that it shows the young players are actually good.

    This is his age 33 season. He's playing for a contract from age 34 onwards. No way he gets a four year deal even if he has a vintage prime JD season, which he probably won't. Still a good player, but he's probably looking at a 2-3 year deal max.

    https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/shoemaker-trying-stay-positive-despite-news-acl-tear/ Damn, he was doing so well too. He's under team control for 2020 so get healthy and be ready for next year.
  22. glory
    Montoyost already using Tepera in the 8th. Hopefully that doesn’t last long, or at least until he shows he’s healthy.
  23. glory
    Hopefully Sanchez's finger nail heals quick enough so he can sign the 7 year, $120 mil* deal that would be a bargain to sign him to. * number may not be exact.
  24. glory
    Buntoyo FTW.
  25. glory
    Yeah, try to extend Stroman. Sanchez is trade bait. AA had a man crush on him so trade him to the Braves.
