    Kirk is likely a ~95 wRC+ player moving forward. The value comes from defense. This is the third year in a row they are acting like (or hoping) he’s a good hitter but the sample suggests otherwise. It is what it is. Bat him lower in the lineup moving forward. In this case Clement and Lukes are worse, so pick your poison as far as lineup construction.

    Kirk is incredibly frustrating to watch.
  3. glory
    Could the same people who showed concern over Gausman's lack of K's before this game show the same concern for the team's lack of home runs?

    Clement having a good 2024 was the worst thing that could have happened because he will get a lot of rope this season because of it. I’m not a believer at all. Doesn’t walk, poor stat cast indicators, and will probably play way too much. Hopefully he’s a strict bench guy when Varsho gets back.

    One thing about the Jays org, especially Schneider, is that they genuflect for veterans. Like they’ll get on their knees and touch a vet’s feet before every game. So if Springer is not in the lineup, then it’s likely a mutually agreed upon move. They are way more likely to bench a red hot young player for no reason.

    Curious what this, if anything, says about their jobs post 2025. Clearly they did not value Vlad at this contract, so they were overruled by ownership. Regardless, even if extended, they won't be around long enough to have to deal with Vlad's declining years at the end, so ultimately it doesn't really hurt them all that much one way or the other. I would think between this and the Kirk extension that Shapiro has gotten some assurance that he's sticking around.

    No Springer in the lineup today. SS Bo DH Vlad LF Tony 2B Gimenez 1B Wagner CA Kirk RF Roden 3B Clement CF Lukes

    In case none of your prayers were answered recently, God was busy helping Vlad extract as many dollars as possible from the Blue Jays. Should be free to help others now.
  9. glory
    Vlad's agent > Boras. Either that, or Ed Rogers walked into the negotiating table and immediately bent over. Maybe both.

    Seems like Ed was a big part of the Vlad extension, so logic might not be in play here, but Vlad is obviously more important to the Jays from a marketing standpoint than Bo is, so who knows how far they would be willing to go for Bichette. Would be nice if Jimenez or Kasevich turn into 2026 SS options this season, but both are hurt at the moment. Or they could shift Gimenez over to short and run a Wagner/Jimenez platoon at 2B, which might not be that bad assuming the defense (Wagner's) is average or better, though I wonder if they'd even want to move Gimenez given how elite he is at 2B. Or maybe Orelvis finally figures things out, but I suspect if the Jays are in a playoff race in July, then he's the one they'll ship out for more help.

    I actually think there's a better than 50% chance that Bo stays now. The only big market team that needs a SS is the Dodgers, and they don't seem like a team that would get into a bidding war for Bichette. I'm not sure where else Bo would be able to get big money. Rogers is obviously willing to overpay (see Vlad), plus now Bo has a reason to stay with his buddy extended. I doubt Kyle Tucker is a real option for the Jays, and I'd be surprised if Schwarber leaves Philly. Not much else available in free agency with any real impact potential on the position player side. Of course, if the Jays are out of it at the deadline and decide to trade Bo, then all bets are off.

    The good thing about Lucas is that it doesn’t appear to be smoke and mirrors. He’s not this good obviously but past 2 starts he’s looked like someone who could be a serviceable back end SP/depth SP, and that has a lot of value. Saw Francis come out of no where last season, maybe Pete’s magic starting to take form. Only took a decade.
  14. glory
    I really can't wait for the heater Tony is going to go on eventually, because he's been brutal so far.
  15. glory
    Yeah middle relief is ass on this team. If they are still in it at the deadline then trade for as many high leverage rentals out of the pen as possible because the current pen is 2 deep, maybe 3 with Green sometimes, and that's it.
  16. glory
    Wipe off the cobwebs from the HR jacket!
  17. glory
    Looking at Gameday it was a ball but not a super obvious one, so it wasn’t a terrible call. Just the wrong one. That’s what happens though when you can’t hit home runs and have to hope for singles and walks. Sometimes you have to depend on umps and that’s not ideal.
  18. glory
    Should be 1-0 Jays on a walk there. BS but until ABS comes into play we have to deal with the nonsense.
  19. glory
    I said the same thing the last time Lucas started, but it would be the most baseball thing ever if the Jays win tonight looking at the pitching matchup and lineup. Crochet probably licking his chops looking at 5 through 9.
  20. glory
    The Jays are definitely trying to emulate the 2015 Royals. On the plus side, John Schneider as Ned Yost isn't a stretch at all, so that's one positive.
  21. glory
    What's more shocking, Vladdy getting $500M or the Jays winning a challenge?
  22. glory
    Yeah, start Springer and Straw in CF until Varsho gets back. That’s an idiotic play by Lukes, no awareness at all.
  23. glory
    Springer having a dead cat bounce would be incredible. Hope it continues.
  24. glory
    Nice play by Wagner.
  25. glory
    Yeah Berrios against this lineup in this park has ass kicking written all over it. Hope he can fluke his way through.
