    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. glory
    The Jays want to tank like an NBA team. More Latos helps with that.
  5. 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.

    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.
  7. glory
    Never build around young pitching.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    That.......actually doesn't sound bad.
  12. glory
    They should not have extended him....unless they are fine with him managing the team even if they take a step back. If they didn't extend him, this season was the perfect time to move on. Oh well.
  13. glory
    After b2b ALCS appearances, they had no choice but to try to prolong it. They put a team on paper that looked like a WC contender but it looks like they won't be on that level barring a monster run that is probably not going to happen. Now they have to re adjust their strategy, but making the playoffs in 2017 without losing any prospects was absolutely the right strategy. They just got smacked in the face by age, injuries, and the reality of a small window.
  14. glory
    Injuries + old age. Amaro's Phillies won 100+ one year and then were .500 the next year, and then fell off a cliff. It was going to happen eventually based on the way this team was built and its age. We were just hoping that Shatkins could prolong it a bit. Not likely at this point.
  15. glory
    This April has made me want to rebuild more than ever.
  16. glory
    Osuna's arm was always held together by string. I think he's probably hurt.
  17. glory
    We have to wait until Zeke regresses hard before his playing time diminishes. Pearce slumped at the wrong damn time.
  18. glory
    Tellez struggling in AAA is like porn to Keith Law.
  19. glory
    That's the way I'm looking at this season. Not only the draft pick next year but some mid season trades to get younger and reset. I'm not even mad at these losses (or blown saves in this case).
  20. glory
    Osuna wanting to help the tanking efforts. He's a good man.
  21. glory
    If anyone knows how to rack up L's in April, it's Brett Cecil.
  22. glory
    God damn, what the hell happened to Pearce? It's not even bad luck, he's just been awful.
  23. glory
    If you don't impress Gibbons right out of the gate, he tends to lose faith. Pearce starting out poorly was not good for his playing time. Combine that with Zeke and Smoak actually performing well, and he's glued to the bench. Hope he gets to play at some point.

    Salty makes Navarro look like Buster Posey.
  25. glory
    This season sucks.
