  1. The M's are basically the Jays from 1994-2014 and have been for years. Directionless, going through the motions. The 2nd WC should make it easier for them to avoid 21 years without the PO, but who knows.
  2. Considering Diaz has five more years of control, that would be amazing. I don't expect Tulo to play much at all this season (he's damaged goods and toast as a hitter) so Diaz will get plenty of opportunities.
  3. I like the idea of a payroll floor. Teams have to spend a certain amount every year or they are penalized. The issue is getting the owners to agree to it. The PA has F'ed the players for years and years. The owners/teams are just taking advantage of it. There has to be a systematic change. You can't force teams to spend when they don't have to. The NBA forces teams to spend. That's where MLB will have to follow.
  4. Luckily this season Tepesch will be behind Biagini, Borucki, Pannone, and McGuire on the depth chart, so if he starts a game it will be if the season goes completely off the rails, but dude still sucks. If he is just a warm body in AAA to help Buffalo then that's fine.
  5. If I ever see Tepesch start for the Jays in a regular season game again I’m going to vomit.
  6. Delgado was such a great hitter. That 2003 team looked so promising, but the pitching was ass.
  7. Getting $1.6m back by getting rid of Zeke, especially in this market when you can get a reliever like Oh for around that amount, is desirable. No sense keeping him around when the team already has four projected outfielders in AAA. Even if Grichuk has to miss some time, it's not like Zeke makes a ton of difference.
  8. Yeah the only reason bat flips are being talked about today is because of Bautista. I don't recall much hoopla about it before 2015 other than the occasional triggering of Brian McCann and his types.
  9. Trump supporter and conservative are not the same thing.
  10. Baseball needs to attract millennials and younger to the game. It's not going to happen by continuing to be viewed as the "old white man's game". Bat flips, home runs, celebrations, personalities.....there needs to be more of that. Brian McCann can go cry in a corner.
  11. Or Morrison and Dyson. Oh well. Time for Kendrys to prove the haters wrong and make use of dat exit velocity and launch angle or whatever analytics reasons he was signed. His exit velocity was still elite last season despite his poor performance, so maybe there is hope.
  12. For the money the Jays are paying Morales, how many projected wins could they have added in free agency? 2? 3?
  13. I don't care how much of a douche he is, stay healthy. The rotation is paper thin as it is.
  14. I'm nervous, but doesn't sound serious. Hope he's good to go soon.
  15. Bautista seeing the downside of being a douche. Teams won't be giving him pity deals when he's older.
  16. With Tulo and Travis being as injury prone as they are, the team pretty much has to have Solarte and Diaz on the bench. Could always push Grichuk over to CF if need be. Not like Zeke can play CF (or LF, or RF).
  17. Zeke and Goins gone in one off season? Nice.
  18. I could see them adding another reliever, maybe one with a starting background who can be more of a long man. They seem to really want to stack up Buffalo, so I could see them starting all their optionable relievers there and calling them up when a need arises. Other than that, I think they are done.
  19. Yeah, Morrison was also a 30 year old 1b who had a huge season out of no where, much like Alonso. If those two got peanuts in free agency, then I doubt Smoak has much trade value. Still on a good contract, though.
  20. The "Final Boss" is a great nickname, even though he's not going to be in that role over here. Big fan of this signing. He's probably not the beast he was in 2016, but as someone mentioned if he is somewhere in between 2016 and 2017, then he's big time surplus value.
  21. I like that idea. Call Jansen up after the super 2 cut off. That should give him a couple of months of plate appearances in the minors, and then he can replace Maile mid-season, while McGuire moves up to AAA.
  22. From behind, Vlad looks like a lunch lady.
  23. Travis can't play everyday. Maybe try to get him on the field 4 days a week with Solarte playing the other days. The goal should be to keep him healthy and maximize the time he actually spends on the field. Same with Tulo.
  24. Yeah, Dyson over Zeke on this roster would have been amazing. Pearce isn't a real OF so I don't even count him in that group, so that would have given the Jays four capable outfielders on the big league roster. Man, that Morales deal really is the drizzling shits. $11mm in this market could have gotten like 2-3 players that are better than Morales.
