    Considering pitchers in Jays organization don’t strike out anybody you should see how many balls are fielded lol. I didn’t just watch him one game either it was a handful. I’m not even trying to talk s*** about Barger. I just think it’s unrealistic for him to just come up and replace Matt Chapman. That would be a huge step back for the organization. I would love to be wrong but I don’t think he plays 3B for the Jays.

    Why would I make that up lol. I haven’t watched him ton obviously. Nobody here has but he also has a track record of errors in the minors. He looked awful whenever he was planted from Third Base. All his throws were off line except for the ones he made on the run. Could be a mental thing. Could be a feel thing. I’m sure it’s difficult to learn multiple new positions in the minors. If the goal is to have him play Third Base he should be playing exclusively Third Base. I never understood why they did that with Bo either. Bo played a ton of Second Base in the minors and yet has not play a single defensive inning at 2B in the majors. He’s not going to play SS. So put him at 3B and let him get his reps. If he needs to transition to 2B or RF later those are easier moves to make at the next level. The Scouting reports posted aren’t even him as a 3B its as a SS lol.

    You can almost say the same about Varsho. His numbers 2 weeks ago were horrendous. Only aided by his base running.

    The NBA has done something similar for years. And all the special jerseys have either been Drake or Toronto related. Its called “City Connect” so no doubt it will be Toronto themed. They can do those gaudy Canada Day jerseys once a year. I don’t even think they are listed as an alt this Season. I know the players hated them.

    He wasn’t throw in because the trade didn’t happen without him going the other way. Try to keep up lol

    I wish it was that easy.

    Or I was just sleeping lol. I watched a couple of his New Hampshire games. Over the course of a full game he spiked 6 or 7 throws from Third base like actual shin breakers. He somehow only got called for one error. Multiple infield singles on plays that should have been made a by a professional baseball player. His actions and footwork look absolute s***. He was actually substantially better throwing on the run which probably due to his Shortstop background. But this isn’t even about Barger. I like Barger I hope he becomes a good Third Baseman. But if you’re telling me he’s the guy they planning to pencil in at third next year we’re in trouble. Considering he’s playing SS, 3B, and RF in AAA makes me think they are attempting to groom into a super utility player based on where the Jays think they may need him this Season. Bottom line there’s 2 notable openings next off-season 3B and 2B. Both those positions won’t be able to he filled internally. So you very much hope you can resign Chapman. You would hate to take a massive dip at both sides of the ball. You also gotta take advantage of current window to win.

    All teams are getting one at some point. Jays just haven’t announced there’s yet.

    I actually kinda like the Rangers jersey. But the Braves one is the best. White Sox good as well.

    He wasn’t really a throw in the Dbacks wanted him. They wanted veteran they could put into their lineup. Obviously Moreno was the main piece but I’m sure the Jays would have retained Gurriel it they could have.
  11. Jonn
    He should want out. He had tons of teams after him. He choose the Cardinals. I doubt he's cool with just not catching going forward.
  12. Jonn
    He did have quite the glow up. Maybe he will have a Matt Chapman level glow up in April

    Let them know if they need help designing the next Great Britain jersey. Give me 10 minutes in Paint and I can design something cooler.
  15. Jonn
    I keep hearing that argument and it’s never been a good one. There are plenty of times where having a strong arm would benefit a second baseman. Considering he’s been an absolute butcher at SS and 3B his strong arm is irrelevant. He probably should play RF if you’re that in love with his arm. Bottom line Addison Barger is not a replacement for Matt Chapman at 3B on either side of the ball. If Chapman isn’t brought back a trade will need to be made. We can only hope they wouldn’t consider starting Espinal every day.

    Hard to imagine people in England caring about Canada’s team. Our relationship tied to the King and Commonwealth is because our government is to lazy to do the paperwork to sever all ties. Its absolutely silly the Queen has been on our money all these years. And now this King lol. Like I feel no connection to England and my Grandfather on my Dad’s side was born there lol. I would assume the most popular teams in America would sell there. Jays are rarely on National TV.
  17. Jonn
    It’s not uncommon for organizations to keep players on the left side longer than they should in the minors. He will likely make the eventual move to Second Base. Bottom line this team will have holes at both 2B and 3B next off-season.
  18. Jonn
    I wonder if he will ask for a trade soon,
  19. Jonn
    Move the Rays to Montreal. Play a series in England. Boom.
  20. Jonn
    They should have traded for Danny Jansen when they had the chance.
  21. Jonn
    He’s more of Whit and Espinal replacement lol
  22. Jonn
    Jays don’t have a choice but to overpay for Chapman. They have no options to replace him and no assets to trade for anyone comparable. It’s hard to believe Boras doesn’t allow him to explore Free Agency though. I think the Yankees sign him if he does.

    Bedard to the Coyotes seems very scripted. That alone might secure the Tempe arena. And when Auston Matthews joins him a couple years later and Matthew Knies 5 years from now. Hockey in Arizona will be saved.

    The Panthers certainly wouldn't.

    Already matched his homerun total from last Season. He's also walking at a career rate.
