    That's exactly how I feel about it. We do have to remember that offense is down around baseball. Lineups aren't stacked like they used to be. Our lineup lacks star power, outside of the big 3, but otherwise, we have a ton of guys all projected to be above average from a wRC+ perspective. The 2025 Jays remind me a bit of the 2024 Mets. Lindor, Vientos and Alonso were the Top 3 (137, 133, 122) and then they had a bunch of average, to just above average hitters (Nimmo - 109, JDM - 108, Marte - 104, Alvarez - 102, Taylor - 98, McNeil - 97, Bader - 85). Of course they also had Iglesias magically give them 133, but < 300 PA's. Mets finished 7th in runs scored and wRC+ last year. The 2025 Jays are projected (Steamers) for: Vlad 156 Taters 123 Kirk 120 (seems optimistic) Bo 118 Wagner 118 (seems optimistic) Springer 110 Gimenez 104 Clement 103 Varsho 101 and a bunch of bench guys all projected around 100 wRC+ (Barger, Lukes, Schneider, Jimenez, Orelvis) Roden is projected at 110 - he's the sleeper of the bunch. I see a lot of similarities.

    We could really use David Robertson right now. I suspect he's holding out for $8M+ thought. He'll wait until enough injuries pile up that someone will pay him to play.

    That would be great. We're due for something to break right in our pen.

    To be fair. Cole has been a stud for these guys. I know why they wanted to keep him. But this is devastating.

    OOPSY! Baseball's newest - and most optimistic - player projection system https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3235025 Fun little read on the new projection system. Shout out to Tom Tango - did he make it over to the new board?

    Vladdy details talks with Jays: Asking price was 'much less than Soto' https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3235167 Vlad says his "last counter offer" was 14 years and didn't exceed $600M. Sounds to me like his original request was over $600M - which is crazy. But it is encouraging to see he did seemingly negotiate with the Jays (somewhat). But it seems obvious he was asking for a huge bag of $$$. Can't blame Atkins or Rogers for walking away from that demand.

    What is the correct pronunciation?
  8. Brownie19
    Absolutely not. I mean if Varsho is on a hot streak, I'm OK moving him up there for a week or 2, but it's not a sustainable approach. Give me Wagner there to start the year. I need Varsho healthy, patrolling CF and hitting in the bottom 1/3 of the order. Has there been any reports on when his arm will be strong enough to play CF?

    My point is those underlying numbers are a better indication of future results and over the long run. Those with strong underlying numbers, typically end up with strong actual results. That applies in both spring training and the regular season. Can someone have strong on the field results, with poor underlying numbers? Yes, of course they can, but it's less common and is typically a sign those results aren't sustainable.

    That mentality shouldn't really change much when you head into the regular season...

    2-3 with 3 ribeyes today. He's back baby!
  12. Brownie19
    This isn't a good look man. Stop.

    It would be so amazing to see Bo have a vintage, healthy season and rip off 4.5 WAR again. It would put immense pressure on the FO on how to deal with that. I've always been a big fan of Bo and it would be interesting if he has a vintage season, of the Jays could get him back long-term for like half or less of what Vlad will cost
  14. Brownie19
    100%. Those are the guys.
  15. Brownie19
    Yeah - Borders is my guess also.
  16. Brownie19
    Remember Bichette is a Blue Jay partly because they weren't going to try and change his swing and would allow him to do it his way. I suspect they still respect that agreement.
  17. Brownie19
    Reports he was throwing 97-98 MPH in his first start were encouraging there may be more there, but I agree, the Jays would be very happy if he was a reliable #4/#5 for the next several years.

    Every Jays pitcher that reacts AAA turns into a pumpkin.

    This board would never harass anyone 🤥

    There is a possibility the shoulder surgery actually helps Varsho throw better (and hit better?). Who knows how long he'd been battling through pain/restrictions. That said, surgery can also be difficult to return from and there's obviously a lot of examples where it cost players power and such for awhile. Fingers crossed.

    Good to see Varsho is going to DH tomorrow. Little fun video here from Swanson Swanson narrates funny video about Bassitt, the giraffe 🦒 https://thescore.com/s/30404811

    are we all though really?
  24. Brownie19
    ICE got him? 10-4. Thanks.

    I'm pretty sure Votto only speaks "hitting"
