General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)
Jonn replied to Krylian's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Well we know the Yankees won’t trade for him so that helps. The Dodgers probably want to avoid bad publicity as well this year. Probably a decent prospect and a lottery ticket assuming he stays healthy and continues to throw this well. Pretty much any team could have had him and he picked the Royals so assuming he didn’t have many offers. He’s literally exactly what we need power and swing and miss from the left side. -
He's pretty much a perfect Starter for one of the teams tanking. Although I don't think Oakland needs to tank anymore. They got their move now so they could probably just play their future although they are going to suck anyway from a lack of talent.
-
I mean its true. Blue Jays development of pitching or lack thereof is a massive issue. We can't keep arms like Frasso because we need them to go get depth arms. Ideally you should be developing your own 5th Starters and Swingman. Or atleast finding them at affordable prices instead of spending premiums on them.
-
The whole player development system needs to be looked at. The Rays have been good for over a decade and still have a streamline of good pitching and quality players with less than half the budget the Jays have. They also do an excellent job of stealing it from other organizations. Outside of can’t miss prosects Jays have almost nothing homegrow. Our entire pitching staff outside of Manoah, Mayza, and Romano have come from other organizations or free agency at a premium. The amount of money the Jays have spent on Starting Pitching since the Ryu signing has been insane.

I just want a Leafs vs Rangers Eastern Conference Finals. Please.
-
Well hes got real quiet on the Cody Bellinger front. I know that.
-
In no way do I think Scherzer was cheating. Especially after he got checked the first time. Nobody would take that risk.
-
Well sure if hes get injured he could absolutely be a pumpkin. But he's back healthy and has been extremely successful. Regardless of level he also missed a lot of time not pitching. His stuff and current trajectory and leading him to a fast track to the big leagues. I think at the low end the Dodgers get a really good reliever. I don't think he will be a Starter but I don't see any reason why not to continue to build up and find out. It's hard for me to view Mitch White as many more than depth. Obviously I hope he pitches well. But he does not have the arm Frasso does.
-
In a sense yes. I just don’t think we should have traded Frasso to get that guy. We do need length though. Our bullpen arms are going to blow out in June at this rate.
-
Frasso has an outside shot at being a back end Starter. And he has the stuff to pitch at the back end of any bullpen. That’s his worst case scenario. Mitch White stuff isn’t even comparable. He could be the 5th Starter on a rebuilding team but best used as a Swingman or Longman on a good team. A depth arm on a World Series contender. That trade was puzzling the moment it happened.
-
A few people also quoted me for saying Pop blows in Spring. Now his ERA is 5 lol. But Pop should be mostly fine. Hes been overused.
-
It also needs to be an Outdoor stadium with a roof for climate control. People in Montreal want to be outside in the Summer time. Another dome would not go well.
-
Las Vegas A’s has a nice ring to it. In no way wiill they change the team name from the Athletics. Its been the name of the franchise since 1901 across 3 cities.

Getting rid of Bass makes a lot more sense than Richards. Ideally you don’t want to get rid of anyone. But if you want to bring up Pearson hes the guy to move. Unless they want to option Pop or Cimber. -
3 of those walks came his first 2 outings. It was -3 in Buffalo
-
Seemed like Swanson's spot to me.
-
I mean Pop's throwing mid 90's with movement. Not really a fair comparison. I think he needs to lose the sinker and turn that into a 2-seamer. Get the movement going side to side instead of down. That slider can go strike to ball down.
-
That move needs to be made now. Pearson looks great and most importantly his command has been much better.
-
Probably a direct result of being overworked. He has just pitched so much.
-
This Bullpen is not good enough. Plain and simple.
-
What Pop can learn from this is the importantance of missing bats. He reverted to old Zach Pop. He gave up multiple 2 strike hits that inning. They didn't hit them hard but the keyword is they hit them.
-
Pop was thrown so much. He was due for a bad inning.
-
This is what swing and miss does. Zero advancement.
-
Another really good AB. Good for Lukes
