  1. I've been suggesting Seager for months now. He seemed like a solid fit as long as we have lots of budget to play with...
  2. Yeah - that's not how it works.
  3. Did Keith Law write the blurb on Martin? f*** me.
  4. Aggressive ETA projection on Beltre...
  5. Interesting stuff. If the FO believes Walker has a lot of untapped potential with the analytics, then it might make him a good target. I'm also curious. Do teams work with their players during the offseason? Are the Jays currently influencing what Pearson is doing in his offseason workouts? Are they reviewing tape on his mechanics and outings last year to help him prepare for 2021? Or are players kind of on their own to do whatever they want. I ask, as it would be a significant disadvantage for someone like Walker, as a FA. Sounds like he loved what the Jays were doing, but wasn't here long enough to dive into it. Ideally, he'd be using this offseason to work with their staff, understand it more and possibly make some adjustments this offseason. I believe the answer is no - teams don't work with players in the offseason. Seems like it could be somewhat of a missed opportunity. Christ - I work with my U11 team during the winter (for those who want to come out and when it doesn't interfere with hockey or other commitments).
  6. Why won't we sign Tommy La Stella to play 3rd instead? 2 year $14M with a club option maybe? He gives you about 90-95% of Brantley's bat, is a big time contact hitter from the left side and plays a position of need. 2 years younger and won't cost near as much. TLS needs a platoon buddy, but I still think he's a good fit.
  7. f*** Keith Law - he's a ****.
  8. Give it a rest Hurl. Men aren't known for their throwing ability either.
  9. steady gentlemen...
  10. women aren't known for their throwing ability, I doubt you dodged much.
  11. For f*** sakes - how's a guy supposed to work with all this going on.
  12. Atkins is probably being an Alpha Boss - forcing Brantley to accept the 3rd year as a club option for the right to play on this amazing beisbol team.
  13. Real possibility that Kirk is the trade chip we're dangling out there for a SPer. There are lots of teams that may not want ML players (says Pittsburgh for Taillon)
  14. I think La Stella would be a great fit. 2 years $14M or something.
  15. Just to be clear - you'd be 'fine' with the 14th best pitcher over the past 2 years. Got it. haha
  16. This With Vlad at 3rd and Tellez at 1st. Hold the fort down until Martin or Groshans are ready to play 3rd? I mean that wouldn't be my first option, but it may be something they are considering.
  17. Only if he cleared waivers - he's out of options.
  18. Speaking of Fisher - isn't he a DFA candidate? No options and that mental block in the field...we haven't heard anything about him this offseason - will they keep him around as a 5th OFer? Maybe they do through spring training just as insurance if there's an injury?
  19. Will our ability to monitor stress on the body (the load management team is what I'll say as I can't recall the baseball term) help allow Springer to age more gracefully? or are we still not there from a medical perspective?
  20. If Moose significantly drags down the cost to acquire Grey or Castillo, then I'm OK with this - otherwise, 3 years at $48M is little too long and rich for our short term fix at 3rd. Curious to see where this all lands.
  21. 66th in wRC+ means that at age 21, he's a top 2 or 3 hitter on an average ML team.
  22. 2021 is his age 31 season. We have him from his age 31 through his age 36 season. We sign a guy who's been a 6+ WAR player the past 2 years and people are pissed - good god. Also, don't forget Anthony Rendon got 7 years $245M last year. He's owed $219M over the next 6 years ($36.5M AAV). Yes he's a year younger and better than Springer, but is his worth 46% more than Springer? Maybe we did get a COVID discount... I'd suggest you just relax and see what else the offseason has in store for the Blue Jays. This FO deserves your respects and trust sir.
  23. It would be interesting to see if we have to give Brantley the extra year, or the extra $$ to get him to TO. This is his age 34 season. 3 years seems risky and 4 years would be scary. Does Springer allow us to get him on a 2 year deal? He's a 3.5-4 WAR player over the past 3 years.
  24. You must be on one hell of a bender, because that was on January 18th. It's on page 18. f*** your sensitive. Happy Springer day. Good day sir.
