    Kinda of like last year's ALCS where the Jays were outscored 12-8 yet lost the series in five games.

    Isn't McGuire an elite defender, or at least very good at catcher? If his bat is for real then I would have to think he's a top prospect. I mean, he's only 22 and did well in AA despite being injured for most of the year. Really depends on whether he made an adjustment of some sort that got his bat going or it is just a small sample hot streak. His K/BB has always been good. It's just that he had Josh Thole levels of non existent power.

    Farrell's assessment of AA's Jays was spot on. His assessment also aligns with Shapiro's on player development, which isn't surprising since he was in player development for Cleveland when Shapiro was GM there. I don't want Farrell back in this org at all, but just because he is a s***** manager it doesn't mean he can't help the org in other ways. But yeah, there are younger and better minds out there to use in that spot over someone who the fanbase in Toronto justifiably hates. Maybe one of the interns they want to hire for $3/hr will prove to be better in that role.

    They worked together in Cleveland when Shapiro was GM. I knew those rumors would start.

    Matt Vasgersian needs to be the lead baseball guy over Joe Buck. His calls are always good and he gets genuinely excited in big moments, while Buck's sound bytes are beyond forgettable.

    Good to know the Jays are not ignoring the strike out rate. Hopefully he can cut that down back to normal (25% or so) while maintaining the power uptick. Could be a pretty decent player if that happens.

    Predicting decline for an injury prone player in his 30's is pretty reasonable. Even at the time of the trade it was clear the Jays were getting Tulo's twilight. It was just a matter of how many good years he had left before he fell off.

    Girardi pulled CC too early last game and it cost him. 3 straight singles and a run in for Cleveland. Wonder how Joe plays it.

    Dumbrowski is going to cripple that farm system and just add more bloated contracts to compensate for it. Exactly what he did in Detroit until he couldn't do it anymore. He's lucky he was left with such a good crop of young position players that might buy him some time before he inevitably F's them up. Cashman is building the right way, which is bad news for the Jays.

    Didn't Farrell work in player development for Cleveland when Shapiro was the GM? Just warning you guys in case he joins the org in a different capacity. Don't think he will though. The way he left kind of left a mark.

    Well the story said she removed all pics of them together on her social media, and she hasn't, so at least that part of the story is false. I'm sure players do stuff on the side, but JD would be a fool to lower his standards. If he's grabbing chicks on the road way hotter than the one he's dating, then understandable, but being horny should have limits. As far as Jackie, I think she's attractive. You guys are being rough here. Does she look like the girl at the bar who goes back to your place after one drink? Yes, but maybe that's part of her appeal. Just wrap it up.

    1. Trade for Profar and put Travis/Tulo on a rotating schedule where each player gets at least two days off a week. Should give Profar a ton of AB's. Either he sinks or swims. 2. Sign Jarrod Dyson to a two year deal, start him in left. Put Pearce in LF against lefties, and otherwise share DH between Kendrys and Pearce. 3. Trade for Randal Grichuk, start him in right (dude is going to blow up soon with the juiced ball, just put him at RC for half his games) 4. Sign Alex Cobb to a three year deal. Reach for those 2nd wild card dreams.
  13. glory
    Briana Miller's instagram still has pictures of her and JD. That's likely a false story. JD has a hot GF and is a year away from getting paid. He ain't messing that up.

    Loup for $1.8m is fine. Koehler is definitely a non tender. Bring him back on a cheaper deal. Goins will be in this org longer than Stroman. I've come to accept that fact. He has three more years of arb left, and the Jays will keep him for all three, but he'll get a Johnny Mac style cheapo extension that keeps him here beyond 2020 just to infuriate us.

    The baseball god's want Yankees/Red Sox, and are going to make sure we get it.

    Gibby 2.0 (after the new regime took over) is fine. Could be better, but isn't hurting the team. If this was Gibby 1.0, the dude we saw in 2015 turn a 100+ win caliber team into a team that would have missed the playoffs without mid season farm system detonating, then absolutely go after Girardi. As of now, it wouldn't make a difference.

    Baseball needs more bat flips. Keep doing your thing Harper.
  18. glory
    Wow. Torreyes comes in to pinch run and within 30 seconds is picked off. Brutal.
  19. glory
    Chad Green's god mode apparently ends in October.

    Depends on what the Marlins want for him. If it's nothing except some C level prospects and taking his salary, then go for it. There's always a chance someone with his skill set can fall off like Ben Revere did, but his defence grades out well and can cover SS in an emergency. He should be worth his salary. Another trade target that I have mentioned before is Randal Grichuk. Cards have a ton of OF's. Look at the dude's batted ball profile and tell me he wouldn't fit in Toronto. Hits the ball hard as hell, tons of flyballs and line drives, very few grounders. Just work some Justin Smoak magic on him to cut down the K's, and you got yourself a player. Maybe the Cards undervalue him?

    After his one start they used Koehler in one inning roles only. Maybe they view him as a RP, but still not worth giving him a raise in arb. Wouldn't surprise me if he's non tendered and brought back at a reduced rate.

    Might as well move Vladdy in the next year or two (to 1b or LF) rather than watch him hemorrhage value as a third baseman for years. I can't picture him playing 3b (well).
  23. glory
    Damn, didn't realize Dee Gordon put up a 3.3 WAR this season. Maybe taking him in a salary dump wouldn't be such a bad idea. When the alternative is Travis until his body fails followed by 4 months of Goins, I'd take just about any competent 2B out there.
  24. glory
    He also shouldn't be a long term commitment since he's in his 30's and doesn't have a track record as a starting outfielder. Should be a cheap way to get a 2-3 WAR player. My only concern with starting him in LF or RF is that Pillar is in the OF too. That's two OF spots with 80-90 wRC+. Platooning Dyson might help his numbers. He's my prediction for who the Jays end up with. Atkins will smell that $/war and pounce early. Same idea he had with Pearce, except they would actually play Dyson in a spot he can defend.
  25. glory
    Otani (obviously, though unlikely) and Cobb definitely interesting. Not much else on the free agent market. My annual "let's get Jarrod Dyson" plea is actually realistic now since he's a free agent so I'll go with him, but even that's as a 4th OF or a replacement for a traded Pillar (though that probably won't happen). Definitely need a 2B plus a backup that can cover short.
