    Yeah, they either need to be out of it, or right in the thick of it. A .500 record where they are within 4-5 games of a playoff spot with a number of teams to pass is a terrible place to be.

    Retool: take another stab at contending in 2018, then deal with the consequences after that if JD walks (or extend him) Rebuild: Trade JD now and starting stripping the roster of vets in order to start a long-term rebuild In theory, I think the rebuild makes more sense mainly because I don't think the prospects will be ready to take over in 2019 if JD left, but this is Rogers we are talking about. They can sell hope and .500 finishes or see attendance/revenue plummet for a number of years with a rebuild. I know which direction they'd rather go.

    I'm expecting a retool over a rebuild. Along the lines of what Cashman did for the Yankees last year. I wouldn't mind a rebuild, but don't see this ownership agreeing to it. We will probably see a retool where they get assets back for their impending free agents (Estrada, Jose if he agrees, Smith, Liriano), and then taking another stab at it next year.

    Ah, forgot about the "can't offer the QO twice" rule in the CBA. That's makes the decision even easier. If the Jays are out of it, then move Acetrada ASAP. Then try to re-sign him in the winter.
  5. glory
    Trade Estrada and then try to re-sign him in the winter (if the Jays are out of it). Seems pretty cut and dry. The QO isn't going to scare teams off anymore, and what's the compensation now for losing a qualified FA? A 3rd rounder? No point keeping him if the season looks lost by July.

    Upton caught looking in game 1 of the ALCS or that pitch from Smith right down the middle of the plate called a ball: which was worse?
  7. glory
    LOL. Pitch right down the middle, ball.

    -0.4 WAR, 46 wRC+ heading into tonight. Breakout potential.

    Gibbons proving once again that he's just good for putting out a lineup. When the hick has to think, he's a liability.
  10. glory
    Still too early, but if it turns out that they guessed right about him, then they deserve a s*** ton of credit. That extension was a lot of faith in whatever analytics they look at. If it turns out that he's not a total scrub, then 2+1 at a cheap rate is pretty darn good. But again, I'll have to see this over a full season.
  11. glory
    Possible but he's out of options next year and plays for a team that has an asset hoarding front office. They kept f***ing Goins on the roster rather than risk losing him. Pompey has a shot. Whether he ends up being any good is a different story.
  12. glory
    What are the chances of going with a Pompey-Pillar-Alford outfield in 2018 (assuming Pompey isn't dead)? Or will they trade the gay hating bastard and go with Alford in CF?
  13. glory
    Did Alford get called up? It's floating around on Twitter, but none of the usual Jays reporters are reporting it.
  14. glory
    Woodman isn't a prospect until his K rate goes down, and he's already 22. Not a fan, but I guess he has time to improve. Bichette and Vladdy are the future, my friends.
  15. glory
    Don't need a complete tear down in baseball. If the Jays can keep being competitive while the farm system has time to catch up, then that's probably the best alternative. The issues with this team are still issues though.
  16. glory
    Agreed. I hate the O's more than any other team but 3 playoff appearances in 5 years and first place so far in year 6 of their run. Duquette and Buck know what they are doing, even if the roster consistently looks average.
  17. glory
    Smith Jr. should play everyday when the team gives up eventually. Maybe they have something there. If not, at least he was given a real shot.
  18. glory
    The Jays want to tank like an NBA team. More Latos helps with that.
  19. glory
    Any chance they stretch out Biagini? Threw 41 pitches in his last outing. Can't see why they can't work off that and stretch him out over a few starts.
  20. glory
    Figures last season the Jays had Chavez, Hutch, and Floyd as their depth starters and never needed them. This year their depth starters are Latos, Lawrence, and Bolsinger (I guess), and they'll probably need them a bunch with Happ/Sanchez already out, and Stroman doing his best Thor impression.
  21. glory
    Never build around young pitching.
  22. glory
    I wouldn't mind trading Estrada and Liriano at the deadline, and then signing them back in the off-season. Someone's going to have to eat up innings. Maybe the Jays get lucky and get a few young position players for those two and then bring them back at $15-16mm aav. I mean they have s*** in the minors as far as pitching depth, and that probably wouldn't change in 2018 (probably 2019 is when some pitching might surface in the upper minors). If you want to retool on the fly, that's the way to do it. I don't think Liriano has any attachment to Toronto, but Estrada might. Trade him in July and make it known that you want him back in the winter. See if they can work out another deal.
  23. glory
    How do you retool if the 2017 team isn't good? Hope for better health from 30-35 year old's, sign two starting pitchers as good as or better than Estrada and Liriano, and still have no help from the minors unless Alford is for real and can cover one of the OF spots next year? A retool would make sense if everyone was injured/underachieving and would regress for the better next year, but it doesn't look like that at all.
  24. glory
    I agree with this if they plan on stripping it down entirely. I don't think Rogers would go for that, though. They might be able to afford to wait another year or two to trade Sanchez/Stroman so the fans don't abandon ship at once. For marketing/PR reasons, ownership would probably want them around, especially if JD is going to be moved (which he should be at this point).
  25. glory
    That.......actually doesn't sound bad.
