I refuse to acknowledge any player who plays for Cleveland as an MVP candidate with the trainwreck Central that they get to unfairly mash on more than everyone else. Betts is the MVP this year. No question.
-
Sign him to a 7 year deal if he's unwilling to sign away any of his FA years. A 7 year deal means he can start with the team in 2019 and his contract will end after 2025. If he doesn't sign that contract and they wait to call him up next May, then he'd be a FA after 2025 anyway, so maybe there's some incentive for him to sign if he wants to reach the Majors at 19 (next month).
-
Yeah the JD comp pick will be after the 2nd round so it will be in the 70's probably. Bright side of that is it will increase the team's draft budget. Still rather have a couple of prospects though if some team is willing to ante up this month. I doubt it.
-
He deserves to be up but I'd be very disappointed if the front office ends up doing that. Who cares about the optics. Joe Public hates Shapiro anyway and no one player will ever be a draw in baseball. It's not like calling Vlad up is going to change anything.

Series Game Thread: Rays @ Jays (August 10th-12th)
glory replied to Jonn's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Yeah this is the worst kind of team. Old and bad. At least if it was young and bad it would be watchable, but not sure why anyone would want to watch this crap. On top of that the best young players are on the team don't get on base at all. Hopefully next year mid season they just call everyone up (Vladdy, Bichette, Biggio, Alford, Jansen, etc) and we can at least have a reason to watch the games. -
General 2018 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
glory replied to Bobthe4th's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I doubt it. More analytical front offices are going to hire younger/cheaper guys. Gibby’s rare in that he’s an old school guy who was willing to adapt to Shapiro’s philosophy (his managing in 2015 vs since then is night and day) so he’d still be a decent managerial candidate if a team needed one, but my guess is his managerial career is over the moment he’s done with the Jays. Maybe they will keep him around in another role. -
Lol you have to be trolling now.
-
Those 2 innings by Osuna (no K's) were breath taking.
-
Damn GIbby take Borucki out of the game already. 105 pitches through 5 innings. A win for the starter when the games are meaningless isn't that important.
-
He's hitting 10% more FB than he has for most of his career and 10 HR is pretty much double his career high in a season. So while he's being aided by BABIP it does look he like made some changes. Jays have a ton of OF options, especially when it comes to the 40 man. Might be seeing some trades to clean up some of the clutter.
-
Hector Perez: 4 ip, 2 h, 2 er, 7 bb, 6 k, 0 hr Man those walks aren't going away any time soon, are they? Harold Ramirez is 3-3 with his 10th HR. He's still young despite repeating AA (23) and was a top 100 prospect before. Apparently not a good defensive player so that limits his value. Wonder if the Jays add him to the 40 man before the Rule 5.
-
It's really unfair to Vlad to keep him in the minors, he's clearly ready, but dammit the Jays have to play the long game here. Hopefully MLB can make the next CBA more player friendly, but it always seems to get less player friendly.
-
Giles was not bad in his first two outings. He was awful last night. That's one game. It's insane to ignore many years of data and point to one f'n game.
-
There's no way the org non tenders Giles unless he gets hurt and figures to miss all of 2019. If he performs like he normally does next season, then he's a prime trade chip.
-
Damn one bad game and Giles already getting crapped on. It's one game guys.
-
The good news is there is no chance Rogers will try to milk this any longer. After 2016, sure, keep trying. After 2017, eh, it's probably a .500 calibre team but those types could get lucky in a weak league. But after 2018? No way anyone can spin this into trying to compete. Maybe we will see some real movement now while the team gears up for 2020 and beyond.
-
Hopefully Giles doesn't punch himself in the face after this one.
-
It seems like all the Sox/Jays games at RC this year have been close.
-
No, I'm blaming Tempura for being a mirage. Not "the Mirage", that's Teoscar.
-
Being on a s***** team is going to test Stroman's patience. He came into the league in 2014 when the Jays were above .500 and probably should have won a WC spot (the f'n Royals and the A's on the decline? Ugh) and then 2015 and 2016 happened. Now he's on the other end of it. Osuna forced his way out of Toronto, otherwise the team may not have moved him. For those who want Stroman traded (for rebuilding purposes), another blow up or two from him would probably speed up the process.
-
Tepera is a run of the mill reliever who had one good season. Gibby will keep throwing him out there in the 8th or 9th but he is what he is. Wish the Jays moved him before he fell off.
-
Was looking forward to selling high on Tempura. Now have to watch him implode like most "out of no where" relievers in their 30's.
-
Forrest Wall striking out so much in AA that Teoscar is telling him to choke up a bit.
-
Pretty good chance Estrada, Grandy, and Clippard will clear or have cleared. Just a matter of which pile of s*** the Jays will accept in return for them. JD is the one to watch for. He can't be put on waivers yet until he starts his rehab (I think) so we'll have to wait.

Drury resting up before he breaks out next year.
