    That Morales AB was brutal. Happ looking good aside from the HR.

    Feels like the game ended the moment Grady f***ed up the line out. Ugh. Can’t give the Yankees free base runners.

    I kinda want Tulo around to mentor Bo, but man the Jays are getting a horrible deal. 0 WAR in 2017, injured in 2018 (who knows how many games he actually plays given his injury), and two more years after this as he inches closer to 35.

    Gift is on the 40 man roster and Espinosa has accepted an assignment in Buffalo so they didn't have to clear any further 40 man roster spots and keep the same depth. That's really all I can think of. Wouldn't shock me if Epinosa replaces Gift on the roster soon enough if/when Gift sucks.

    Gibby said he wouldn't be playing much short, but hell, if he's as good defensively there as Diaz, then might as well try it (if Diaz doesn't bounce back).
  6. glory
    Worse bat, probably better defence (i'm assuming).
  7. glory
    If Diaz sucks again, especially on defence, then Gift will play a lot. Epinosa probably sucks now too but at least he has a track record of actually being productive.
  8. glory
    It's not.
  9. glory
    Ngoepe has made the team apparently. South African Goins (with a worse bat). Was hoping Epinosa would get that spot.

    Vlad’s gonna cause more erections in the GTA than Viagra at the rate he’s going. Dude is a beast.

    Didn't Snider have an eating obsession too? Dammit Vlad, if it fits your macros! You can eat what you want, just watch the calories man.

    Lol yes I couldn't stand him in 2015. That year was so frustrating in the first half given how bad I thought his managing was. It's amazing what happens when you remove AA and put in Shapiro/Atkins. Props to Gibby for being able to adjust his managing. Lord knows if Shapiro tried to work with Cito, it would have ended a lot differently.
  14. glory
    Yup. His 2015 managing was so horrendous it made me want to vomit, but the moment the new front office came in, he's been a lot better. He's basically our Clint Hurdle. Old school dude who listens to the front office and is not so set in his ways that he can't change. His 2016-17 work has been his best.

    Should be Pearce at DH and Grandy in LF against RHP, and then Pearce in LF and Morales at DH against lefties. But then we’d have carry a slow as dirt DH as a platoon bat off the bench, which would suck.
  16. glory
    I know this won’t be popular but how many more years do the Jays have to play in this shithole before opening day? This is AA’s wet dream. He’s no longer here. Let’s move on.

    The issue with calling up Vlad is if the team is out of the race, there's no reason to call him up and start his service clock, and if the team is in the race, who does he replace on the big league roster? If they are trying to get him to become a competent 3B, then he's likely better off playing 3B somewhere rather than DH'ing because Morales sucks. In the latter scenario, the Jays would be better off trading some 40 man roster clutter for a mid season rental than promoting Vlad so early. To me, it's becoming more likely that Vlad is the starting 3B in 2019 after JD bolts. His bat is damn near ready now, and one more year of seasoning might be all he needs. For service time issues, I'm being greedy though. Call him up mid-season 2019. Unfair to the player, but dammit I want Vlad in a Jays uni as long as possible!

    Qdoba > Chipotle.

    According to TSN, Bichette and Vladdy will start in AA, and Pearson in Dunedin.
  20. glory
    I don’t think so either but I’ve learned to never doubt Rogers meddling.
  21. glory
    I could see Vlad as starting 3B in 2019 if there is a backlash for losing JD and the team does it for optics reasons. Otherwise, I'd say Solarte will cover the spot for a bit, and then Vlad comes up mid-2019. Bichette is more unpredictable since he's not as good of a prospect as Vlad is (which isn't a knock). He might be half a season behind Vlad in development, but we won't really know until they start playing in AA/AAA.
  22. glory
    Well apparently the Jays are trying to find a way to not start the season off like hot s*** so maybe resting JD more and not rushing Tulo back are part of a greater plan.
  23. glory
    The player has to want to sign with the team, too.
  24. glory
    It would be so great if the Jays could make the playoffs, even if it's a one game WC, while they are transitioning into their next core group. I want that old Cards magic where they can lose stars and not miss a beat. Get a few WC appearances, keep that revenue up, and then be ready for when Vlad and Bo explode on the league.
  25. glory
    That is probably the opening day lineup construction, just replace Solarte with JD and Hernandez with Grichuk.
