    To be fair - Maile was coming off a 2.2 WAR season. He was a top 10 or 12 catcher in all of baseball in 2018.

    I hate assuming, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some discontent on Galvis' behalf. He's always been an starter who plays everyday. The Jays could have picked up his $5M option in the offseason and tried to deal him - but in reality, he isn't worth anything anymore because his defense is just good now (instead of great, which it was in 2016 and 2017). Iglesias is superior to Galvis and he was DFA'd this past offseason and had to accept a minor league invite IIRC. Will be curious to see if more comes out on this story. Maybe some stuff happening behind closed doors - maybe just the Jays doing him a solid so he can catch on and play more on another team. He's only a great guy to have on your bench if he accepts and embraces that role. If he's pissed off, wanting to start than he can become a distraction.

    I'm going to need some help to figure this out. Revocable waivers were eliminated right? Did we place him on irrevocable waivers, knowing he'd be claimed with the intent of trading him (even though we have no leverage because we can't pull him back if we don't like the deal?)

    wRC+ since returning is now 128 and he has 15 HRs, a .558 Slug%, .308 ISO and 9.4 BB% So he's shown excellent power and above average walks since returning. That said - it doesn't appear the K's are going away. Teo probably is what he is at this point. A streaky hitter with good power and speed. Hopefully he's a league average hitter who can now provide solid OF defense at all 3 positions. If he proves he can give us a 105-110 wRC+ in CF, we probably found our upgrade to Pillar as he should give us 2.5 WAR a season during his prime years (ie, the next 2-3 years).

    Just noticed what a massive season Jorge Solar is having. A beast.

    Can we turn Fisher into this? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/j-d-davis-is-leading-the-mets-charge/

    I haven't written off Alford. As a minimum, he should be a quality 4th outfielder. Anyone know if he has big splits? If he could be a lefty masher who can play LF, CF & RF - that could add a lot of value. He does need to stay healthy though.

    home runs are worse than walks.
  9. Brownie19
    Or just STFU because you have no idea what the best course of action for a 20 year old is (physically or mentally). Leave it to the experts and stop blaming people with 1000 times more information than you. Again - this is the type of s*** that's wrong with the world.
  10. Brownie19
    Not sure how you get more clueless than this.
  11. Brownie19
    That was an incredible inning to watch. Love these Jays.

    I just found out that Reese McGuire was always known as an offensive catcher, but it's his defense that's really come along. Thanks for that Buck.
  13. Brownie19
    I have absolutely no problem with this OF. Young, athletic, fast. Defensively, I really like them. Gurriel, Grichuk and Fisher are above average in the corners and I think Teo and Fisher can be average in CF. I think we get just enough offense out of them too. Sign Moose to play 3rd (until Groshans is ready), move Vladdy to 1st and our infield defense will be much improved.
  14. Brownie19
    Jesus Christ. He's a baaaaddd man.
  15. Brownie19
    What WAR would Teo put up if he gets up to the 107 wRC+ he posted last year, combined with this year's improved base running and defense?
  16. Brownie19
    It's not hard to see what the Jays like in SWR.
  17. Brownie19
    In the Bison's stadium (err, maybe that's not in Buffalo)....is there glass or is it a netting behind home plate? I've never really seen a stadium without any wall behind the plate. Very odd.
  18. Brownie19
    On those angles, it looks like a slider....it has cut action, not fade, which is pretty unusual for a change up.
  19. Brownie19
    Can I ask why? He's 2 years older and never been as good as Wheeler's been the past 2 years. Or are you saying you prefer him because he'll come at a more reasonable cost/term?
  20. Brownie19
    Why not try and sign both? Wheeler's on his way to back-to-back 4 WAR seasons. A level Stroman's never reached. I mean honestly, if we are able to sign a Wheeler or a Gibson with the money we would have extended Stro with - that would be amazing.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/what-remains-of-clayton-kershaw/ I thought that was a really interesting read. I do love it when legends like Kershaw find a way to fend off father time and continue to dominant (even if it's in different ways).
  22. Brownie19
    Edwin Jackson still throws 97. Life in the arm doesn't always matter.
  23. Brownie19
    Dude - like 4 other people echo'd how idiotic your Garcia comment was. You've been at it for days now - spewing nonsense in all corners of this board. Opposing opinions based on logic and fact are awesome for this board. You should try that approach.
  24. Brownie19
    Sign Wheeler. 5 years $80M Would you rather have Wheeler, SWR + Kay....or Marcus Stroman?
  25. Brownie19
    Also just like Shoemaker you f***ing twat. More often than not - they won't work out, but every once in awhile you make an adjustment and it turns out well.
