    I'd be fine with keeping Morales around as a vet as long as he's used as a bench player. Have the Mirage DH full time with McKinney in LF. No one wants a DH nowadays. I doubt any team will take him for even 50% of his 2019 salary.
  2. glory
    I think they'll keep Morales for his vetrin presentz (and not wanting to throw $12m in the trash), but yeah the infield could/will see a lot of movement. Solarte has to be done with the org, Travis is questionable, and Tulo is still the elephant in the room.
  3. glory
    On second thought, the drawback to keeping Travis and optioning him is that AAA is going to be stacked next year, and you don't want Travis taking AB's/2B reps away from Biggio. So maybe he is a non tender candidate after all. He certainly should not be starting in the big leagues, and he has no use as a utility player since he only plays 2B. Maybe they will try him at other spots and hope his bat comes back? Seems like a long shot but 2019 is a year of throwing s*** at a wall. Ideal infield next year assuming no big acquisitions is Diaz at third, Gurriel at short (only because they seem to want him there), and Drury at second. If Tulo is healthy and they actually keep him, then that complicates things, but I don't think he plays another game for the Jays.

    Keep Travis in AAA next year. He’s cheap depth. But yeah, he’s done as an everyday player. Injuries destroyed him.
  5. glory
    Yeah my guess is he wanted to stay but not as a lame duck, so at that point you either had to extend him or fire him. The Jays chose the latter.
  6. glory
    That's what I thought as well, but in his press conference he mentioned that he felt he would be a great fit for a rebuilding team and that he still wants to manage, so not sure about that. He did a really good job adapting to the new front office (so much so that I wouldn't have minded if he stayed through the rebuild), but might be Shatkins wanting a younger, more analytic guy in that spot.

    A few boos from the SJW's, but mostly indifference, is my guess. I think people grossly overrate how sports fans react to these things, rightly or wrongly. Baseball in Toronto, especially with NHL and NBA starting up soon, is losing steam anyway. I doubt it will be much of a reaction.

    Borucki. I'm not sold on SRF or Pannone. They will have to earn a spot in ST. Paulino is the guy that I am most excited about. If the Baseball Gods keep him healthy, he's my #5 starter.

    Over the course of the 2018 season? Absolutely, I'd rate Tampa better. Tougher schedule and identical records. If you swapped the Jays and Indians, put the Jays in the Central and Indians in the East, Jays would be division winners and the Indians would be 3rd or 4th. That's how bad the Central is. They have 3 Baltimore's and one team similar to the Jays. It's a wasteland.
  10. glory
    Their run differential is +153 against the AL Central, while it is +2 against everyone else. 45-24 against the Central, 41-44 against everyone else. I wouldn't rate them ahead of Oakland or Tampa, much less BOS/NY/HOU.
  11. glory
    All four of those Cleveland pitchers with 200 K's were acquired in trades as well. As much as I hate Cleveland for being like the 6th best team in the AL and yet handed a playoff spot because of their division, they've done well with development the last few years.
  12. glory
    Yeah no one could have expected him to be this bad, but old man skills in his 30's in the post PED era? If he was going to be good during the life of a contract, it def wasn't going to be for long.
  13. glory
    Remember when casual Jays fans on Twitter wanted the Jays to sign Davis because of how deadly he'd be in the lineup with Bats, Edwin, and JD? Good times.
  14. glory
    Pannone should have been taken out after 6. Gibby going 1.0 despite having a million relievers.
  15. glory
    To start the year: 2B Drury, SS Gurriel, 3B Diaz When Vlad comes up: 2B Drury, SS Gurriel, 3B Vlad, UT Diaz Once Biggio and Bo are ready, then there will be some maneuvering/trades that will need to happen. Gurriel can probably move around (OF too), and Diaz can stay as the utility IF, but Drury might need to be traded, assuming he's any good. I'm also assuming Tulo is either hurt or traded before the start of the year, as I don't see him playing another inning in Toronto, but I guess we'll see.

    Bannister is a POS, so glad the Jays were able to beat him twice in the playoffs before he got deservedly canned.
  17. glory
    Amazing that the A's are a 90+ win team three years after trading Donaldson in a horrendous trade for them, and none of the players they received in that trade are contributing for them at all. Gives me hope that the Jays are not that far off, especially since they'll be adding a generational player next May.
  18. glory
    The wild card winner faces the team with the best record in the league regardless of division. It will either be the Yanks or A's against the Red Sox. Hopefully the Yanks because while Oakland is a much better story and I'd cheer for them to go all the way, NYY/BOS will get the mainstream pub MLB needs.

    Great comeback against our fathers. Nice.
  20. glory
    Tanaka against Rodriguez is agonizing to watch. Both guys are taking their sweet ass time. Over an hour in and it's only the bottom of the 2nd. If the Yankees win the WC game, then those ALDS games are going to be 4-5 hours long.
  21. glory
    He’s going to focus on the 40-45 FV guys. The ones no one really hypes up but he will still lecture us on how much they will suck.

    Working for a big league team seems like it would be a thankless job with long hours, in any capacity. Also working your way up the baseball food chain seems next to impossible (being white probably helps tho). Being a GM would be awesome, but outside of that, I'd take the corporate job. When it's $100k more, it's a no brainer. Take the $225k, work the corporate life, invest in real estate/business/stocks on the side, and become a millionaire in 10 years. Then watch baseball on TV.

    I'm still upset that the Rays got Tommy Pham and not the Jays. The Rays have been making great moves and they have a loaded system. I'm afraid they might be in for another run around the time the JAys expect to compete with Vlad. I hope not, but might be unavoidable.
  24. glory
    They don't need to. Dude has a 9.2 WAR on a team that is going to win over 110 games. He deserves the award. Trout is the best player in the world, but he's not winning it every year. That's just the way it goes.
  25. glory
    I’m holding out hope that Shatkins can steal Gray from the Rockies. I don’t know how, but dammit, we never fleeced Dave Stewart while he was active, take advantage of the Rox.
