    Not going to watch many, if any, games, but looking forward to the trade deadline (now that the draft is over). This team could realistically be a bottom 5 team in baseball with their roster + injuries, and they won't be calling up any top prospects until 2019 at the earliest. Gonna be a long season.

    Yeah I'll go out on a limb and say he was not upset at being drafted 12th overall. I mean i know Toronto is not the ideal spot for a young Texan, but dude is going to be a millionaire and play ball professionally. He looked relieved to be picked to me. Maybe he's just not a smiley guy. Kloffenstein is retweeting a bunch of stuff related to this draft/him signing so clearly two different personalities.
  3. glory
    Yeah this front office does not seem like they would operate like AA who will draft a top player and not care if he doesn't sign. I don't think they make the pick unless they think/know they have him at a certain price. We shall see.

    How many other sons of former big leaguers are in the draft? Should give us an idea of who the Jays are targeting.
  5. glory
    Yeah I like the position player emphasis. Pitchers are risky and I’d much rather buy them in free agency than hope to develop them. Position players is where it’s at!
  6. glory
    Have to hope he accepts the QO. Gives the team a chance to keep Vlad down to start 2019 and maybe he rebuilds his value next year. If not, yeah, we will either sell him for s*** in July or get a comp pick. Not good.

    Seattle and the Angels will both be desperate to make the playoffs. Atlanta is in the race and AA treats prospects like cheap whores so there’s always a chance for a deal there (don’t they need a 3B?). The trade deadline will hopefully be fun this year for the Jays. We have some intriguing short term options that can help teams.

    Ehh, I hope they go on a run, but their best players are either hurt, sucking badly, both, or awaiting trial. Not to mention they are 10 games in the loss column behind the 2nd wild card team. Stick a fork in these guys. It was a nice run with JD. 2/4 years in the playoffs. But it's over barring a miracle.
  9. glory
    Hoping the Jays trade Pillar at the deadline. I don't expect them to, but it would open up some PT for Pompey/Smith before they have to make a decision on them in the winter, and then there's Alford to take over full time whenever he stops sucking.
  10. glory
    On the plus side, Loup might turn into a sellable asset at the deadline. He's quietly having a pretty decent year.
  11. glory
    The front office might be trying to time it so all the prospects come up around the same time (mid 2019?). It's not like there are open spots. JD/Solarte have 3B, Morales has DH (ugh), Martin has catcher, etc. I don't think this front office is in any rush to promote prospects.
  12. glory
    Of course JD gets hurt. Well this was the risk heading into the year. He’s 32.

    The Jays are in a really good spot in terms of infielders in the minors. Gives them the ability to flip some of them down the road for other needs.
  14. glory
    10/100 guaranteed seems like it would be a risk for the team, but chances are they will be seeing surplus value on that deal by year 3 or 4. I know prospects can bust but he's not a typical prospect. He doesn't strike out, makes Stanton-like hard contact, high hit tool, and practically no weakness with the bat. Guys like Snider had troubling K rates. Those types are more high risk. If Vlad takes 10/100, sign the damn thing tomorrow and call him up.
  15. glory
    I am at a point where I just want all the vets to do good so we can trade them at the deadline. Yes, I've thrown in the towel. Too many injuries and underachieving for too many important players. July can't come soon enough.
  16. glory
    When the Twins DFAd Hughes that should have been the signal. It's one thing to say the Red Sox can eat up bad contracts, but when the f'n Twins are eating up $20m, then Rogers can eat Morales' contract. No excuses.
  17. glory
    They have like a billion more games against the Yankees and Red Sox, and haven't faced the Astros yet. The Jays will be selling. Only a matter of time. Too many key injuries and underperformance. It will be hard to keep afloat. Just have to hope the key trade pieces (JD, Happ, Grandy, Pearce, etc) do well from now until July.
  18. glory
    Someone who lives on social media and feels the need to broadcast her life on there has to be mad annoying in person. I wonder if she and Stroman would get along.

    This team could have (and should have) won a World Series in 2015 when Gibbons was one of the worst managers in the game at the time. He has improved dramatically since the new regime took over and yet the team has declined in wins. A manager can negatively impact a team, but he's not the reason a team is good or bad. The Jays are a true talent 85-ish win team that have suffered injuries or underachieving from players they simply couldn't afford to have that happen to, and here is the end result. Gibbons couldn't fix this even if he was the baseball version of Brad Stevens.

    Smith not scoring on Grandy’s hit and Grandy not scoring on Morales’ hit definitely seemed questionable. At least with the Morales hit, Grandy was tagging up since it wasn’t a certainty that it was a hit, but yeah should have at least tied the game.
  21. glory
    My opinion of Gibbons has changed from three years ago and I really don’t have an issue with him managing this team but I almost want him fired just so Rivera is gone. That might be the only way to make it happen.
  22. glory
    That ball was not deep enough to get Grandy. Maybe 5 years ago but not now. But damn I thought Morales walked it off. s*** what a horrible ending.
  23. glory
    Vetrin with proven saves experience. I actually don’t mind it as long as Gibbons keeps using Oh in higher leverage middle inning spots with runners on while Clippard comes in with the bases empty, but Clipps is easily the worst reliever in the pen with how solid Axford has been for the most part.
  24. glory
    Worst reliever in the pen as the closer. Damn you Osuna.
  25. glory
    I agree it's early, but Osuna is probably done for the year, Stroman is hurt, Sanchez sucks again, Garcia is hurt, Estrada has regressed to #5 starter level, and the offence is probably middle of the pack at best and that's with JD hitting like he normally does. They had enough depth to cover a bunch of positions, but essentially the guys they could not afford to lose are either lost or not performing. With Stro and JD it is likely injury related, which makes it difficult to project the rest of the year for them (will they be healthy?). I thought this team had 85 win potential before the year started but I'm not seeing it anymore.
