    RIP Bob What an absolute legend. Harry Doyle will live on forever.

    Wait until Owen sees the "bold predictions" this board typically makes each spring. Picking the OVER on a 76.5 win season is about as bold as adding ketchup to your plate of fries (no offense).

    Correct - and one of them will be the starting CF on opening day. I can't see them playing Springer in CF very much at this point. I could see them trading one of Loperfido, Berroa or Clase, but I think they better hang onto Wagner, Barger and Clement. Ideally, you add enough that most of these guys are quality bench options. I suspect 1 of the Buffalo boys will start the season as a starter (or in a platoon), with another (Loperfido, Berroa or Clase) filling in for Varsho until he's healthy.

    Feels like you need to keep that depth given the uncertainty of them all. You can afford to guess wrong.
  5. Brownie19
    I think you're going to have to count on at least one of them next year - of not 2 (probably Clement and/or Wagner). I think Barger is a real wildcard. He's has all the physical tools. I'm pretty confident we'll get good production from at least 1 of them. 2 is a stretch.

    The Red Rocket, Matt Bonner loved his public transit in TO. The UP Express is a nice ride. I now prefer it to the subway.
  8. Brownie19
    Hopefully he's standing in LF - for the Blue Jays (and not injured).

    I agree. I think Swanson with his splitter was good v. LHH in the past, but we shouldn't rely on him. Minter would be a nice add to pair with Little.

    There are always going to be "if's". And to be honest, there were probably fewer "if's" in the bullpen heading into 2024 than there's ever been - and that didn't turn out very well.

    Honestly - if we end 2025 having traded Vlad and Bo, with a Top 5 farm system, avoid anymore albatross contracts and hired a new GM - I wouldn't be too upset. That might end up being what's best for this organization.

    This typo seems like a bannable offense...

    100% Roki + the equivalent remaining $ spent on several FA's >>> Soto

    I don't think Vientos is a massive overpay. Astros got 3 years of Paredes + Cam Smith (14th overall pick in 2024 draft) who lit it up and finished in AA last year for Kyle Tucker. Paredes is more proven than Vientos and is just good enough to stick at 3rd. Vientos probably shouldn't play 3rd anymore and that 30% K Rate could raises concerns, given he's only produced at the ML level for 450 PA's. 4 years of Vientos + prospects seems like a perfectly reasonable package for Vlad if we conclude we can't, or don't want to extend him. Fans would be super angry, but it might be the best baseball move they can make under these circumstances.

    He tried to make adjustments last year to get on plane better and reduce the IFF's. Perhaps helped a little. He probably needs to spend a full offseason in a lab, reconstructing his swing ala Justin Turner. People do it every year (like Rooker). Offseason shoulder surgery would have prevented that this year, so I don't expect much improvement.

    I think what you're saying is true. I think what Vancouverite is suggesting (in the first part) is that perhaps Roki wants to be the face of a franchise - he wants to be "the guy". In the second part, he's suggesting he wants to be on a team without "superstar" or perhaps even a "superstar diva" that thinks his sh*t don't stink. He wants to be in a culture where everyone is equal, regardless of talent/contracts. That may not be true in all clubhouses. I have no idea what Roki wants, but I hope that helps explain what Vancouverite was trying to suggest.
  17. Brownie19
    I think for some, playing with Vlad would be frustrating as f*ck. Dude is the worst base runners in baseball, primarily due to his low baseball IQ. He's also a horrible fielder, who admits he doesn't work on his defense in the offseason. He also doesn't seem to have any self awareness and continued that ice bath bullsh*t way too long, which seemed to piss off his teammates. Oh and he's overweight, which impacts his ability to be the best ball player he can be. I'm sure some people like his happy, life of the party spirit - but suiting up next to this guy day in and day out for 162 games may drive some players nuts.

    Maybe he correctly identifies Machado as a massive douchebag?
  19. Brownie19
    I mean - he could become the spokesperson/face of Rogers Communication...no need to involve another company even. Rogers could sign him to some 6 year $200M deal to do commercials :)

    I just read Roki started following Trout on social media yesterday. He's going to the Angels!
  21. Brownie19
    To be honest, it's actually impressive that we're in the bronze position to land Roki. Most free agents currently view the Jays as about the 28th best option in baseball.
  22. Brownie19
    Bring on that bronze medal to add to our collection.
  23. Brownie19
    Guys - this isn't happening.
  24. Brownie19
    We need a backup catcher anyway. He wouldn't cost much.
