    We can only get back $345,000 from Bec if you assume he signs for like $10K or something.
  2. Brownie19
    I agree, but where are you getting your wOBA stats? Fangraphs says Betts it at .480 v. Trout at .451. Betts is slugging .735 - he's having a great season.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-corey-dickerson-erased-a-weakness/ Good article. Wish we could have picked up Dickerson for nothing...

    Living with a douche bag like JPA can't be easy.

    Alford continues to heat up.
  6. Brownie19
    Meh - I just rhymed off a list quickly. Don't read too much into it.
  7. Brownie19
    Oh - absolutely, but our 'core' is going to come from this list (along with Pearson + Biggio, who I forgot). Our core is clearly in transition right now and it's unlikely we're going to add more core players through a trade (JD + Happ being our only assets).

    Why are people still so high on Barreto? His K% has jumped to almost 30% in almost 700 PA's in AAA. You can't put him at 22.
  9. Brownie19
    Jason Kendall comps for days.
  10. Brownie19
    What do you even think our core is right now? We're re-tooling. The core is in transition. The new core is going to be: Vlad Jr Bo Jansen Alford K.Smith Warmoth Stro Sanchez SRF Borucki Zeuch
  11. Brownie19
    Alford's heating up and Kevin Smith is no longer off to a slow start in Dunedin.

    All teams dumpster dive. It's part of baseball. Accept it. I mean FFS, we found Bautista and EE in the dumpster. Of anyone, Jays fans should understand the potential rewards of dumpster diving.

    god damnit
  14. Brownie19
    Not much gets past you eh?

    Burocki, SRF and Zeuch will all be options in 2019. They may be back of the rotation guys (as could Sanchez), but they do have some young depth. A lot of money comes off the books in 2020, so we may look to add through FA.
  16. Brownie19
    They are turning over the roster and re-tooling in preparation of the new wave of talent (Vlad, Bo, Jansen, Alford, Gurriel, Borucki, Zeuch, SRF, Hernandez, Smith, Warmoth, etc.). This past offseason they signed some veterans to short term deals that won't handcuff the franchise in the future (when that talent is ready and we're on the right win projection path again). If everything broke right this year, we'd contend for the second WC spot in an AL East that is full of rebuilding teams. Unfortunately, almost everything has broke the wrong way - but that's baseball for you. The good news is those short term veterans now become trade chips at the deadline for the team to acquire additional young talent. Some will bitch that our vets suck and we won't get s*** for them (and they could be right), but we got Teoscar for Liriano at the deadline last year - so keep an open mind.

    If you've watched 85% of the games since 1985 - I don't think anyone in their right mind would call you a bandwagoner. Nobody on this board is really a bandwagoner - regardless of how many games you actually watch.
  18. Brownie19
    No disrespect, but your comprehension on what the Jays are doing is completely f***ed.
  19. Brownie19
    Sure they would. Kids posts stupid s*** on social media every second of every day.
  20. Brownie19
    who r u talking about?
  21. Brownie19
    Ah the world we now live in - where major announcements are made by updating your status on Twitter and Facebook (Facebook if you're old)
  22. Brownie19
    This is what I do. To be honest, before our run in 2015, almost like clockwork my season looked like this: April - May: Watch a lot of Jays games and baseball in general. I love a new season - curious to see how new young players look and how teams are developing. June - July: Summer is busy, watch fewer games, listen to more on radio while doing other activities, follow box scores. August - September: Jays are out of it, take a break from baseball to re-energize myself for the playoffs. October: Glued to the TV. Playoff baseball is amazing no matter who's playing. I broke the mold in 2015 and 2016 (which were F'ing amazing), but I'm not back to the routine described above....and with 3 kids now, I'm already in August/September mode to be honest...most of my nights are spent watching junior and senior rookie baseball (god bless the pitching machine).

    That's what I read too. He's a backup plan if anything goes wrong in the Groshans/Kloffenstein package deal. A smart move by Shatkins. Do we expect Groshans to sign for $1M underslot?

    This explains why Asia has moved ahead of the US...
  25. Brownie19
    We offered him a better deal than he took. Seriously man.
