Bro really…

I didn’t even think Varsho had a chance to be healthy for Opening Day. The fact that he’s going to get in game at-bats already bolds well in his recovery, Obviously getting him back in CF is the priority.

I know he has a lot of us blocked on Twitter.

You don’t say it that literally lol. Apparently I’m not in my safe corner of the internet where it makes sense. But in the way it’s used (mostly in gaming) it means not able to process, didn’t see it coming, shocking outcome. But hey my bad, It really does seem like that sometimes 😅

Would love to see Wagner settle into that leadoff spot against righties. Feel he’s the best fit in that slot. Wouldn’t mind seeing it set up Wagner, Vladdy, Santander, Bo, ect. But it seems Bo prefers the top of the lineup and Vlad prefers to hit third.

Will be interesting to see where he fits into the future plans with a lot of DH at-bats already accounted for now and in the future. Second Base is also clogged now so he’s going to have to play 3B on this roster. Perhaps getting reps at 1B is something he will start this year. Prepare for life after Vladdy.

A grand declaration? Really? Dramatic much lol? You’re the one blowing this completely out of proportion. If you don’t know who it’s directed at or what it means. Why are you so personally upset by it? Just move on with your life. You literally start a fight with me for zero reason in every thread. Ignore list exists. If my “wisdom nuggets” bother you so much either use the feature or just ignore my posts. Otherwise kindly f*** off, I have zero interest in interacting with you moving forward.

Who was I trying to dunk on? I literally said nothing directed at anyone. What case? What are even talking about lol. You act like I actively attacked the Message Board as a whole,

I mean it would help not to automatically assume what I meant was any indication of negativity. Literally been talking up Roden the last 2 Seasons. It's like when I say anything here its the herd of the same people who just find any narrative to try to s*** on me for absolutely zero reason outside of being complete douche bags. It is not my fault people can't understand internet lingo. Nowhere was it indicated that I had anything bad to say about the player or anything else. And yet here I am again with multiple quotes of negative BS for something I didn't even intend to being negative. It's so exhausting man.

I swear to god this place is a hive mind lol. First day on the internet.

Shambles means a state of disorder. Aka not able to process how good he is in this moment. But yes assume I meant it negatively. Everyone else does. Yes we should be quite happy. Who do I cheer against? I'll wait but answer quickly because this is already a completely baseless post with zero merit.

People on this board are going to be in absolute shambles when Roden wins AL ROY.

The situation really isn’t this dire lol.

Really don’t think Grandal moves the needle at all. Probably should just roll with Bethancourt.

No its not simple. It’s actually very hard to deal with individuals with evaluations that don’t match up to yours. It’s not easy when you have to make choices that project the direction of your franchise. And none of them should be made lightly. But at some point you have to make tough decisions so you don’t put your organization in a position that’s tough to recover from. These negotiations according to Vladdy have never been close. So were they expecting him to cave to their demands and sign a team friendly contract that close to free agency? It’s fine if they didn’t want to give him what he wanted. I respect that. I don’t like that they are doing that but not making the best decision for the future of the franchise. Is making the playoffs this year more valuable than losing Vladdy for nothing. That’s what they are risking ultimately. As someone who is a fan of the team I can only sit back and watch on how things unfold. But I can certainly have an opinion on it. I would like to see Vladdy retained but not at the number that has been floating around. It will be interesting to see what kind of year he has. And what his market will actually be like.

Good for him. Bad second half last year but didn’t think he was ready to retire. If we didn’t have so many 4th OF types already he would have been a nice fit against lefties.

He should have been here in September instead of wasting at-bats on the likes of Stewart Berrora and Luis De Los Santos. Luis De Los Santos

Myles Straw will be burried in the minors to save money.

I don’t need to look for reasons to criticize them. They bring the criticism on themselves. It doesn’t take a smart person to know if you aren’t going to retain your stars you need to move them for assets. You can’t bury your franchise into the ground. You take a hit on the front end but you minimize the amount of time you suck. When you lose your best players for nothing. That’s when you become s*** and mediocre for 10+ years. That is the trajectory the team is currently on. Star players are pending free agency. Very weak farm system. Retain the stars or trade them for talented assets. It’s pretty simple.

If the number was anywhere near what David Ortiz thinks it should be they certainly did. But once again if they weren't going to sign him to what he was asking for they should have moved him last year.

We can only like this.

Why in the actual fudge cakes would they be considering Giminez for the leadoff spot? He’s arguably the worst hitter on the team and posted .638 OPS and sub .300 OBP. He shouldn’t be hitting anywhere but 9th. Literally the worst leadoff option imaginable.

Bo has a lot to prove this year. And realistically I don’t know what his demand on the free agent is because I doubt many teams are looking at him as SS, I don’t think it’s in the best interest of either side to extend now. At the high end he’s probably looking at something close to what Marcus Semien signed for. But he’s going to have to have a big year.

Schwarber would be an excellent replacement for Vladdy and come at a fraction of the price. Jays should be all over that.

Thought I was on Facebook for a second . Had to double check.
