    If you want your mind blown even further, look at Kimbrel's 2015 numbers vs. Hendriks (our long man thanks to the Gibbster).
  2. glory
    Wow, didn't realize Kimbrel fell off last season. Still very good, but not up to par with the 2-3.5 win seasons he was having with the Braves. Projected 1.3 WAR next season. I was expecting the Red Sox to get Kimbrel+. If it's just Kimbrel, then that lessens it.
  3. glory
    Good.

    Ross and Kimbrel would be a good haul for the Red Sox. I wish they were still giving $100m to hitters who couldn't play defense. I liked that strategy better.

    Winning the AL East won't be easy in 2016 from the looks of it.

    "Fox Sports" = the voices in this poster's head, from the looks of it. Ignored.
  9. glory
    Freddie Freeman, probably.
  10. glory
    Not surprised one bit. No one was going to give Rasmus a long-term deal, much less a long-term deal + a draft pick.
  11. glory
    Kimbrel would probably cost less than Chapman to acquire. I'd go that route.

    That's a pleasant change from Alex "my god look at dat ERA!" Anthopoulos.
  13. glory
    I'd rather go with Chavez than a long-term deal with Estrada.

    An approach where they limit him but improvise how they use him over the full season (like skipping starts once in a while, limit him when he shows signs of fatigue, etc) would be a good approach. I just don't know how many innings you can realistically expect out of him next season when he spent an entire year in the pen throwing primarily a fastball and has a career high 78 innings. You're right I was probably being overly cautious with the innings, though.
  15. glory
    Osuna's innings per year 2011: 19.2 (MEX) 2012: 43.2 2013: 42.1 2014: 35.1 (minors and AZFL) 2015: 78.0 (reg and post season) If they stretch him out, he'll have to be on a 100-120 inning limit, or thereabouts. I'd ignore the critics and just put him in AAA next season. They burned an option on him already, but regardless, let him work on his secondary stuff while being in an environment where his innings/pitch count can be controlled. Expecting John Gibbons to show any type of restraint with a young pitcher would be like putting a loaded gun in the hands of a monkey and expecting no one to get shot. Keep Osuna away from Gibby in 2016 if you plan to stretch him out. Stretching him out in the Majors when he spent an entire year throwing fastballs in the pen would be foolish. I'm not sure about Hendriks in the rotation. He's a great reliever regardless of how the manager uses him. Just give him more of a role in the pen next season and see what happens. But if they want to see if his velocity spike can be somewhat sustained in longer outings, then give it a shot.
  16. glory
    Not surprising. We'll probably see more AA guys jumping ship.
  17. glory
    What can the Jays offer for Carrasco at this point? Cleveland is too smart to like Sanchez, and Osuna needs about two years of stretching out to be a SP option and the Jays already started his service clock and wasted an option year on him. That leaves Pompey, Alford, and pitchers in A-ball. I think that rumored package was the best the Jays could have offered, but without a Norris or Hoffman to trade it will be damn difficult.
  18. glory
    Unless there's a clear upgrade available, I'd probably just roll with Smoak/Cola again. Thats going to be a dirt cheap platoon again and there's still enough upside there with Smoak to make it a worthwhile gamble. If you can add a win or two by getting another first baseman, then that's a different story.
  19. glory
    Stewart traded Wade Miley for no gosh darn reason and actually coveted Jeremy Hellickson, so why not? Aaron Sanchez for Corbin and Delgado. Don't let me down, Shapiro!
  20. glory
    Man this thread is reminding me why I was rooting for AA and Gibbons to leave for good. Half way there.
  21. glory
    Saunders would need to prove his knee is healthy first. Revere > Saunders post knee injury. I could see the Jays moving Revere to make room for Pompey (mix in some youth with the aging ones), but for Saunders I think it's time to non tender and re-sign to a minor league deal. If not, see ya later.
  22. glory
    If you're not signing the big dogs and the mid tier guys are unattractive because of the QO, then what's left? Trading is kind of hard to do without a farm system, and the prospects the Jays can trade they probably don't want to. Unless the Padres are willing to do Ross for Sanchez like some posters seem to think.
  23. glory
    Depends on who they get to fill rotation spots and whether Gibbons can tell who his best relievers are this time.
  24. glory
    When the Jays signed Martin last winter, they lost their 1st round pick, but gained a comp pick when Melky signed with the White Sox. It will be the same situation here if Estrada declines the QO and the Jays sign a qualified FA.
  25. glory
    Wouldn't be surprised if most of the good 2nd tier SP starters (Kuma, Shark, Kennedy, etc) get qualified by their teams. If the Jays want to seriously improve the 2016 rotation without trading prospects, they may have to bite the bullet and lose a pick for one of those guys.
