    I think that's my stance on this deal. Don't mind trading Diaz but value wise it looks like the Jays got less than they should have, and are left with some questionable infield options because of it.
  2. glory
    Atkins going full on TrackMan.
  3. glory
    We went from not caring if Tulo plays again to hoping to god he’s healthy because Gurriel probably isn’t a SS and Urena can’t defend anywhere.

    Wall is in AA and wasn’t that good there. He seems like a safe guy to not protect. Pitchers that are big league ready (Thornton, Waguespack, etc) seem more likely to be taken. I think they’ll protect Thornton. What this tells me is Urena is probably going to end up the utility infielder. No spot for him in AAA and now a spot opens up in the majors.
  5. glory
    He has to be added on according to Twitter. Can’t imagine they’d risk him going through the Rule 5. If he doesn’t have to be added on, then that’s one benefit.
  6. glory
    He’s coming off a much better season offensively and defensively now than he did a year ago. This move also doesn’t even fix the 40 man roster glut. Thornton might end up being good but I don’t think their values were anywhere close to each other right now. That might change a year from now of course.

    I know nothing about this guy so I won’t say it’s good or bad because I honestly have no idea, but definitely seems light. Diaz has four years of control left and is probably the best SS on the team right now. I guess Travis, Gurriel, and Drury will be the IF to start the year.
  8. glory
    Bad deal for Boston. Everyone knows Pearce is only good in even numbered years. Should have gotten a 2nd year option.
  9. glory
    Happ was clearly fixed by Searage, but yes the others are purely speculative. I'll trust Shatkins here as if they wanted another pitching coach they would have gotten one, but I would have liked a change there. Hopefully they move Rivera to first base coach and hire a third base coach who wouldn't send Kendrys Morales home from 2nd on a hard hit single to left.

    Happ was fixed by Searage, and Sanchez has only had one good year in his entire pro career. Estrada is a point in Walker's favor. Walker will be dealing with a bunch of young pitchers in '19 so maybe we will get a better idea this coming year.

    I remember when we traded for Santiago Espinal, it felt the only thing ever written about him was a Fringe Five piece. Could barely find anything else. Have no idea what this adds to the front office, but definitely enjoyed reading his work.
  12. glory
    Yeah not sure why Walker is staying. Not like the Jays have had a great deal of success developing pitchers since he's been here. I think he's signed through 2019 anyway so maybe they'll replace him next year.
  13. glory
    https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/blue-jays-promoting-guillermo-martinez-new-hitting-coach/ Guillermo Martinez is the new hitting coach.

    We didn't have OF options period. Pompey was always hurt. Alford was in AA in '17 and then struggled in '18. Smith Jr is an org guy. The only OF options on the team now aside from those three were acquired from outside the org (Grichuk, Teoscar, McKinney). Hell for a while Zeke was our best OF in 2017. Things still aren't that great for the OF but much better than it used to be. Moving Pillar now should be easier. Slide Grichuk over and we're good.
  15. glory
    Pitching prospects suck, and Jansen is already projected to be a good player as early as next year. No reason to move him.
  16. glory
    Yeah unless Shatkins thinks he is going to go Justin Smoak 2017 on the league next year, I really did not like that trade. I'm rooting for Drury and McUpton only because I want to stick it to the Yankees. Otherwise not a fan of either one but hoping they prove me wrong.
  17. glory
    This is the type of trade that would make sense. Chen gives the Jays a bottom of rotation option (or long man) and Tulo would probably agree to the trade just so he can play SS on grass. All Atkins has to say is "you won't be starting at short" and I'm sure he'll waive his NTC to play anywhere.
  18. glory
    There’s no way Drury is the long term 3b even if he hits well for 3 weeks before Vlad comes up so unless they plan to use him primarily at 2b I’m not sure where the fit is. Maybe 1B if he actually learns how to hit? Having guys who can play multiple spots is a luxury but they have to hit enough.
  19. glory
    Even with a smart front office it will take at least five years for the O’s to be good again. s***** mlb team, s***** farm system, and ignored international market for years. They are pretty much starting from nothing.
  20. glory
    Yeah I meant offensively, but I think I'd rather see if Hernandez's defence is fixable than to acquire Duvall.
  21. glory
    We already have Duvall. His name is Teoscar.
  22. glory
    Saw a video the other day where Trollosi was interviewing Atkins, and when asked about Vlad’s arrival time, Atkins said he thinks they can field a good infield already while only mentioning Drury, Gurriel, and Diaz by name. It was only after specifically being asked about Tulo that Atkins even talked about him. I think the Jays will move on somehow. I don’t think they have any interest in playing him.
  23. glory
    Vlad for Bryant? Basically seven years of control (minus a few weeks) with two of those years being dirt cheap versus three really expensive years of Bryant who is six years older? Outrage. Lots of it.
  24. glory
    Santana is a high obp 2-3 war player. Maybe he’s on a reasonable contract rather than a surplus value contract, but would certainly be an upgrade on Morales, and would also open up DH should they move Smoak as well. Definitely agree that it would be pointless for wins and losses, unless the Jays can take a step forward in 2019/20. If they plan a strict rebuild and lower payroll by a s*** ton, then yes it wouldn’t make sense. But value in versus value out, it would be a clear upgrade and add wins.
  25. glory
    Angel Perdomo has signed with the Brewers. I completely forgot he was even on the Jays for so many years, but the team clearly did not want to put him on the 40 man, so he's gone now.
