    Guerrero has to learn how to be a good teammate, develop leadership skills, and work on his defence. Nothing two weeks in the minors won't fix.
  2. glory
    I think the Jays were the only team that had two players in the top 10 (Vlad/Bo), so that combined with depth is probably what contributed to it.
  3. glory
    Wow, a lefty knuckleballer. Don't remember ever seeing one.
  4. glory
    Only if you are being signed by the Nationals. Every other team is making cheap look like an art form.
  5. glory
    Yeah don’t blame Nola for that. Pitchers are injury risks and teams are cheaping out on free agents. If players realize that 0-6 are the only years teams care about, then they might be more open to these types of deals since teams will be willing to pay more for those years plus a couple of free agent years. Free agency doesn’t pay off anymore.

    Your memories are playing tricks on you guys. Snider was definitely a legit top prospect, but Lawrie was hyped by Jays fans more than anyone else. He was like a top 50 prospect in baseball at his peak, unless you're talking about mid season 2011 rankings or something. Definitely not before 2011.

    Morosi uses the Jays as clickbait due to its large social media presence. That's it. Much like Keith Law, he should be erased from being cited as a source.
  8. glory
    I'd be surprised if the Jays sign any RP's to big league deals at this point. Spring Training will be easier to clean up some 40 man roster spots.

    If Shatkins cared about optics (they don't), that's actually a pretty decent idea as long as the prospect coming back at least had upside. Won't happen though.
  10. glory
    Yeah seriously I’m supporting Stroman now. Sure his whining on social media when Ryan Goins was let go was annoying but other than that he’s a good pitcher who wants the ball in big games, loves Toronto, and is trying to build a business on the side (and last time I checked that involves promoting the brand on social media and engaging with his followers). Don’t know why that angers so many people. No wonder baseball is so boring to the mainstream. It wants to stifle the personality off everyone. He’s not a Machado like douche like he’s portrayed here. Sign him to an extension.

    If the Jays and Indians swapped divisions, the Jays would be heading towards their 5th straight playoff appearance in 2019.
  12. glory
    Lindor could miss 20 weeks and the Indians would still win the Central by double digits. They'll take their time because they can afford to.
  13. glory
    Yeah I never understood the appeal of this. I could maybe understand it if there was no interleague play, which would make the World Series a bit more interesting with that dynamic thrown in (Jays pitchers hitting in 1992 and 1993 was mind boggling for me as a kid), but with the way the league is set up now it's stupid and outdated. If Manfred is getting any heat for this change it is undeserved. This is one change that will help baseball.
  14. glory
    I hope he picks baseball. Even if he ends up being a bust, MLB benefits from having the best athletes choose them over the NFL. If Murray chooses baseball and ends up being good, then even better for the league.
  15. glory
    Yeah that's probably not going to end well, but versatility can't hurt.

    If Kawhi leaves I find it hard to imagine Masai not blowing the team up. Even if they could make the playoffs without Kawhi, why wouldn’t they try to use the giant expiring contracts to add long term assets as opposed to keeping them, finishing as a 5th or 6th seed, and losing them for nothing? Cap space for the Raptors is meaningless. No good free agent with options wants to play here. Actually, considering who owns the Raptors, maybe a 45 win season and a competitive first round series would be preferable to a rebuild.

    Yeah I think I read that analytics favor Gasol by a significant margin. He is better defensively, a better passer, and spreads the floor more. A lineup with Siakam/Gasol up front is going to be an upgrade. Enough of an upgrade to win the EC? I don't know. They couldn't really realistically improve at SG, SF, and PF, and Lowry is probably untradeable with his contract, so the only other option was to upgrade C, and they did. The way the roster is set up, Masai is preparing for a rebuild after this year. This is basically his AA-2015 push except he actually cares enough to maintain flexibility, whereas AA threw both his middle fingers up and knew he was gone anyway.

    Gord Ash was one of the worst GM’s I have ever seen and probably will ever see in my lifetime. No way JP was worse than him.
  19. glory
    Yeah even something more minor that eliminates the incentive to tank/openly rebuild would help the league. Like if the Jays knew they couldn't lose 90+ games in 2019, then they would have spent some money on free agents, as would the majority of the teams in the league in a similar spot. It makes sense. Plus, even when the Jays are rebuilding, I'd like to see a watchable product on the field.
  20. glory
    There is a long string of tweets from Sherman about proposed changes. I agree with a lot of them. I really like forcing teams to be competitive rather than tanking and sitting on their money. The above seems a little excessive, but it's a starting point.
  21. glory
    Like both changes if they happen.
  22. glory
    Do Canadians have a really, really low standard for excellence?
  23. glory
    Lol, I read the Thanos post and not the one he was quoting. My point still stands though. Stop quoting Keith Law. Don't even type his name out in parody. Please?
  24. glory
    Is there a way to use the ignore feature for any post with Keith Law in it? Geez man, why do people keep quoting that guy?
  25. glory
    Shatkins doesn't really put much value on defence (at least so far in their tenure). They like exit velocity, barrels, launch angle, etc, so Bryce is like the perfect Atkins player. The Jays won't be getting him, but kinda wish they were less risk averse and more willing to jump on opportunities, assuming of course that Harper would even want to sign in Toronto (he probably doesn't).
