    I don’t get anything out of that. In a perfect world they both have successful careers. I don’t actively cheer against anyone who plays for the Jays. I also hope Frasso realizes his potential but injuries might ultimately prevent this and that sucks and is frustrating.
  2. Jonn
    And I hope he does. I hope Manoah actually rebounds. But Mitch White making the team and being impactful in a Swingman roll would be fantastic for this team. We need as much good depth as possible. And the pitching by far the strength of this team. This team is only going as far as the pitching takes them.
  3. Jonn
    That's like his best case scenario. And good for him if he makes that happen. It will be interesting to see if he even makes the team. From an asset management point of view if he pitches well having him a spot starter / long guy wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But the Jays Bullpen mix is pretty loaded. Cabrera, Garcia, Green, Mayza, Richards, Romano, and Swanson. And than you have guys like Bowden Francis and Zach Pop who could argue deserve spots as well. Especially Francis. That's not even factoring in Danner or Zululeta who could also be apart of this bullpen. And the Cuban they just signed from the Japanese league. It's going to be tough for Mitch White. And Jays overall depth looks fantastic. Maybe Mitch White ends up with Oakland and being part of rotation with Stripling lol.
  4. Jonn
    He also had a range of success after that fact. Mitch White has never been anywhere near the level of Kevin Gausman. So stop this nonsense narrative. Horrendous comparison. Maybe one of the worst I have ever seen.
  5. Jonn
    Mitch White was DFA'd and nobody even claimed him lol. He had decent success in the Dodgers bullpen as a long man in 2021 that spanned 46 innings. And some decent success as a starter/swingman to begin 2022 that spanned 56 innings. Since that point he has been utterly terrible. Like having him on the mound was actively nuking your chance of winning.
  6. Jonn
    It's unfournante for Frasso who has such a beautiful gift can't do what he loves. Mitch White doesn't even have a fraction of the talent he does.
  7. Jonn
    Not accurate. The little race car that could actually showed some determination and when exactly was our good run because we haven't won a playoff game since 2016 lol. We have been swept out of year of the Vlad era.
  8. Jonn
    Wouldn’t be surprised if Alan Roden impacted this year’s roster. That kid can hit. And we got a couple of OF’s who can’t so if the offense struggles as I would expect it will. Can see Roden stealing at-bats from both Varsho and Kiermaier this season. Wonder it they will start Roden in AAA.
  9. Jonn
    You're gonna have to accept they will be class of this division for a long time. Our only hope is them spending on the wrong guys. Baltimore is a s*** hole so its possible dudes won't want to play and re-sign there though.
  10. Jonn
    I'm down for that option as well. He's got plenty of Arm for 3B. But obviously his Defense and range at SS is elite.
  11. Jonn
    Ummmm can the Jays get Adames instead and move Bo to 2B.
  12. Jonn
    I would rather his money be allocated elsewhere once again not that difficult. Jays have a good Bullpen. They can trade from strength to address other concerns? Like either you don’t know a tax penalty exists or you’re purposely ignoring it. This isn’t even about Garcia’s ability. I have zero doubt he will he fine in his role. I like some of the arms in AAA and would like to see them get some looks this Season. Depth is good. Lets use that to build a better roster.
  13. Jonn
    Fire into the sun is an expression. At no point did I think they should dump him for nothing. I wouldn’t mind if they moved on him from him though. Watching him hit is pure agony. Especially the bunting.
  14. Jonn
    Jays have pen depth. Very good pen depth actually. They don’t need to give Garcia 6 million if they are struggling to build an offense. Like its not outrageous contract but with the Jays right up against the tax it all adds up. One thing that would he fun to track is how many relievers sign minor league deals this off-season out perform Garcia because middle relievers aren’t that hard to find.
  15. Jonn
    No that one was purely personal. Would still love for that to happen.
  16. Jonn
    It’s not an overreaction to be concerned about the lineup. I didn’t call the combo of them gross. I called the 5-9 has the potential to be gross if under performance continues and injuries happen. I like Danny Jansen. He can’t stay healthy. Kirk is not someone I feel should be hitting 5th for a team with aspirations to win a World Series. It Kirk/Janeen was 7/8 would be feeling much better. Not a difficult concept to understand.
  17. Jonn
    Kirk was horrendous at the plate last Season and Jansen is made of glass. And yet that’s your likely 5 hole slot that could go to s*** quickly with injury and under performance.
  18. Jonn
    I was looking at some of the Jays lineup concepts people were posting on X today and f*** even with the Turner signing 5-9 looks f***ing gross. RF Springer SS Bo 1B Vlad DH Turner C Jansen/Kirk LF Varsho 2B Biggio/Espinal/Scheneider 3B IKF CF Kiermaier Factor in injuries and I’m not very optimistic this team scores runs this Season. Team is 2 bats away from being a serious contender. And they can’t expect the pitching to stay as healthy. At the very minimum they should be looking for a platoon for Kiermaier and Varsho depending on the matchup. 2B, 3B, LF, and CF could all be offensive black holes.
  19. Jonn
    Matchup related stuff related late in games. It’s nice to be able to break up a string of righties which could potentially alter bullpen decisions. But at the end of the day teams will use their best guys.
  20. Jonn
    I know people are disappointed overall with this off-season. I think we all are. But Justin Turner is a good hitter and has been for a long time. He’s going to help this Lineup a lot. Don’t really think this is the thread to be overly negative in. I prefer they do a deal like this over breaking the bank for players they aren’t in love with such as Chapman, Bellinger and even Soler. Which could all backfire massively. This is one-year deal for a guy who looked like he still has plenty in the tank. It’s not like he’s coming off a down year. His numbers would have either led or been second in most offensive numbers on this team. He’s also done it on the biggest stage
  21. Jonn
    It's really not. Sam Presti is notorious for his unwillingness to unload draft capital and never winning anything. He's been doing it a long time. He also fumbled a dynasty by getting peanuts for James Harden. Which is regarded as one of the worst trades in NBA History.
  22. Jonn
    My hope is the Orioles just turn into the MLB version of the OKC Thunder. Elite farm system do stockpiling draft assets but never succeed at anything because they won't part with any of it.
  23. Jonn
    This isn't even about Whit. I didn't want them to bring back Whit. I wanted a better player in general. IKF being better than Whit is irrelevant. Cause him playing 3B everyday and getting guaranteed money for 2 years sucks in general.
  24. Jonn
    Don’t forget Yimi making 6m. Could have been the difference in giving Chapman a big one year deal to retest the market next year
  25. Jonn
    Whit could actually hit. IKF sucks a metric f*** ton of dick at the plate. Barger is a wild card at this point to impact a Major League roster. He must first accomplish staying healthy. But he’s basically a higher ceiling Biggio, He can play all the Infield positions and corner OF spots,
