    So just to be clear - do you also believe Manoah is a 3rd/4th starter type and not someone who scares anyone in a playoff game? If so, this team probably needs to start rebuilding eh?

    IMO, you've been overly negative about almost everything on here lately. I don't think anyone still thinks Biggio is a core piece, but some did want to see him get another shot to see what he could be once he was healthy again. But you knew he was s*** the whole time so you get a trophy. Nobody really knows what Berrios will be this year. There are obviously lots of reasons for optimism he will come back strong, but of course his career could suddenly be in decline and he'll continue to stink it up. I just don't get why you'd set your opinion on "hopefully he'll be a 4 ERA/FIP pitcher, but the upside doesn't look good and you don't want him as a top 3 option come playoff time".

    FFS - he's been a 3.5 - 4 WAR pitcher for 3 of the last 4 seasons. He's entering his age 29 season and collectively, we're in an era where it's far more easy to fix a pitcher than ever before. There's so many obvious reasons to be optimistic about him returning as a very good #2/#3 pitcher who you'd absolutely want starting a playoff game - but oh no, the Grinch here has to spread his negative views on literally everything the Blue Jays do. Obviously there's a possibility you're right and he's a massively overpaid #4/#5 starter for the rest of his career, but that's probability is likely very low at this point. Perhaps it was better when you stayed in the off topic realm.

    Are new chirps really necessary?

    Fangraph's indicates Ryan's average fastball was only 89.5 MPH in 2008 after returning from TJS. I'm not sure how had he threw in 2006 (Fangraph's doesn't list that), but it's pretty crazy to think there was an absolute lights out closer in 2006 throwing like 91 MPH (my guess pre TJS). I know where they measure velocity changed and that changed the reference point a bit (still not 100% how much), but the increase in bullpen velocity has been absolutely massive over the past 15 years.

    That's pretty sad if true...but $19.5M over 3 years for a 36 year old first baseman coming off a .446 SLG% season has some (a lot?) of risk to it. Then again - lots of red on his Baseball Savant page, so maybe he is David Ortiz.

    Isn't Abreu replacing Yuli? Just put Tucker in there instead of Yuli.
  8. Brownie19
    3 year deal for Abreu. Hoping he ages like David Ortiz. He still hits the ball really hard. Odd to see his SLG% so low this year though.

    17 years ago? f*** me. I remember opening day - fans chanting "We want BJ's". That was the day I realized I no longer want to attend opening day.
  10. Brownie19
    You're as stubborn as Grant FFS.
  11. Brownie19
    Yeah there are some hot ones. Not a ton, but some.
  12. Brownie19
    Just take the L man.
  13. Brownie19
    Holy s*** - that's eye opening. Thanks!

    Aint nothing wrong with a thicc girl.

    Just relax man. Smoke a joint.

    and/or Wiemer...

    The Angels still need a lot of things to fall into place. They need Walsh to not suck. He was good in 2020 and 2021. They need Rendon to be healthy and could really use Stassi to bounce back, as he was solid in 2021. They probably also need either Adell or Moniak to break out and fulfill their promise.

    Isn't Muzzin s*** already? It's time for Sandin and Lilly to take the next step. The Leafs need this to happen desperately.

    Now just roll out some fresh sod boys!
  20. Brownie19
    Oh wow - mine too. My oldest son was born in 2010. 6 years to become a 1st round draft pick kid - get to work!
  21. Brownie19
    I mean that would be ideal, but I strongly doubt he's going to sign with a team that doesn't offer him 550+ PA's in a fulltime role.
  22. Brownie19
    Check out his Savant page. Elite in 2019, Very good in 2020 and absolute s*** in 2021 and 2022....in fact you could argue it got worse from 2021 to 2022.
  23. Brownie19
    Yeah and Zimmer was a 1.5 WAR player in 2021 in just 99 games...
  24. Brownie19
    Absolutely. If you're the Jays, I think you have to see or know that something is changing or improving to bring him in for anything more than $5M a year. Can he show that his flexibility has gradually improved for the past 24 months and is inching closer to where it was when he was the MVP? Or is he making swing adjustments that are starting to show results in EV, launch angle, etc? If he's just going to be the player he was last year - then I have a lot of concern bringing him in for $10-$12M.
  25. Brownie19
    He's not wrong. Zimmer was a 89 wRC+ hitter in 2021 with somewhat regular at bats. Nobody can hit when they get 3 at bats a month.
