    Nah, Pillar is starting. Alford will end up getting a lot of AB's this season, though. I think Montoyo will be playing a bunch of different lineups on a day to day basis.
  2. glory
    $500k for DSJ plus at least $250k in this deal gives the Jays a pretty healthy amount. Shatkins has invested heavily in international market since they took over. I like them doing this much better than getting some s***** C level prospects.
  3. glory
    Save a mil or two, get some international bonus money, and open up DH for a younger player? Yeah, I'm kinda happy with this.
  4. glory
    I think he's there to fill up one of the outfield corners since Alford is the only healthy OF they have in AAA.
  5. glory
    Who is going to provide the vetrin presents now?
  6. glory
    Damn how the hell did Shatkins pull this off? The return is probably s***, but who cares? I don't think this was for Tellez, it is probably to play both Teoscar and McKinney at the same time, with Pillar in CF and Grichuk in RF.
  7. glory
    Cleveland will still win the Central. That division is s***.
  8. glory
    The Jays are going to keep him for as long as they need to in order to hold his rights for six years and then IL him. Shatkins doesn't care about 2019. They'll find a way to work around this.
  9. glory
    Luciano is going to stay on the team for whatever amount of days he needs to (90?) and then will be IL'ed for the rest of the year. Montoyo will have to be careful when he uses him because we will probably see a bunch of 1 IP/5+ ER outings from him, and 5 runs might be kind.

    Do we know if Paulino was sent down to start? If he was, then I approve. If he wasn't, and they are putting him in the pen, then he should be in the bigs right now.
  11. glory
    Yeah I'm mixed about that. Glad for Tatis that he made it, but seems like a dumb move by the Padres. The system is broken and needs to be fixed, but the Jays are doing the more sensible thing here.
  12. glory
    Yeah. Shatkins hoard prospects like collectibles. They left Bergen unprotected because they either think he isn't that good, thought he would pass through without being selected, or both.
  13. glory
    Thornton makes the team as the #4 starter. Interested to see how he does.
  14. glory
    Yup. I like young players getting guaranteed money at years 0-6 at the expense of 1 or 2 of their free agent years. Seems like a reasonable trade off. Now as you said if they start to pay players better early in their careers, then the good players will still get extensions, and the elite players will still get insane contracts, but the younger developing talent will be better compensated for their early years. Really the only players that get screwed are the older/replacement level types, but that was going to happen regardless with smarter front offices.
  15. glory
    Straily actually seems like a Shatkins type of move.
  16. glory
    Shatkins puts practically no priority in the pen as they try to find cheap vets coming off down years to sign every year (good strategy) so I doubt they would demote Paulino to pitch out of the pen. Unless the Giles thing made him fall out of favor....
  17. glory
    Players smartening up by avoiding free agency. Now young players smartening up by giving up a year or two of their free agent years to get guaranteed money in years 1-6. I don't think there will be a strike anymore. A few months ago I would have said there is a good chance, but the players seem to have adjusted. Maybe some minor tweaks in the CBA but both sides will probably figure out a way to avoid a stoppage now.
  18. glory
    In 2013-14, AA had Gomes, Mathis, TDA, and Kratz, but went with JPA, Navarro, and Thole.
  19. glory
    Blake Snell gets 5/50 from the Rays.
  20. glory
    Man I hate pitching prospects. So glad the Jays are loaded in the other direction. Just buy old guys to start when the time is right.
  21. glory
    Mookie's going to get $30+ mil next year and then $300 mil as a free agent. He can afford to. Obvious risk is serious injury, but that's what betting on yourself means.
  22. glory
    Yeah seems pointless to hold on to him if he’s not going to be able to get anyone out. Nice idea but execution was always going to be a big question mark. Had to hope he could be at least bad instead of god awful but the latter is probably more likely:
  23. glory
    Vlad's late 20's might be a risk due to his size and position. He should still be an elite hitter, but a fat 1B doesn't have the same type of value. I think the Jays would want his first 7 or 8 years, but can't see Shapiro risking anything beyond that. I could see Shapiro signing Bichette, Jansen, Alford (if he turns into something), etc, but Vlad will probably Harper his way through arb to get that payday.
  24. glory
    Yup. Sign Vlad this year and Bo next year.
  25. glory
    Yeah Betts will end up making over $60m in three years of arb and then hit free agency at 28 where he will get more than $300m in all likelihood. Bregman probably did leave some money on the table but hard to turn down $100m guaranteed. Plus given the way the Astros took care of Altuve after initially having him on a team friendly deal I’m sure Bregman has a chance to have this deal extended some time in the next six years.
