    Heaven forbid a pitcher suffers a shoulder issue in spring training. That obviously means he did nothing in the offseason to get ready for the season.

    Hopefully you can stop using this completely awful cringe inducing nickname.

    I'd certainly prefer to see the hitters having great springs compared to the opposite. Basically all of the lineup regulars who underperformed last season are having great springs so hopefully some of this success carries over to the regular season.

    The 7.1% strikeout rate, 19% walk rate and 2.67 BB/k ratios are all but impossible to ignore.

    I'm guessing this means he has a sports hernia that'll hamper him all season. On top of the toe injury that he also needs to manage.

    My only real concern with Varsho is that the new swing path seems to be a little too ground ball oriented up to this point. Hopefully over time the swing still generates the type of power output he previously provided.

    I'm perfectly fine with the foot first slides as it greatly reduces the inherent injury risk.

    It's the pisiform bone which is next to the hamate. I have no idea what effect a break of this particular bone would have on power as it doesn't seem particularly common.

    Davis isn't likely to provide a lot of defensive value though unless the 2023 OAA improvements stick. His typical defensive metrics at third base are really bad with an outlier uptick in OAA in 2023 with a super negative DRS value.

    Cole apparently doesn't even have a torn tendon so surgery at this point seems a little pre-emptive all things considered.
  11. max silver
    It's a tiny broken bone though not like his wrist is fully shattered.

    It sounds like his shoulder is improving to the point where he may be able to throw off of a mound soon. https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-jays-notebook-manoah-says-cranky-shoulder-improving-gradually/

    I'm not a huge fan of the idea of reducing the available roster spots for pitchers as I have suspicions that the pitch clock may eventually lead to an increase in pitcher injuries. Forcing the pitchers on the roster to both increase workload while reducing in game recovery feels like a bit of a recipe for disaster.

    The Blue Jays hit a ton of home runs when they had the home run jacket. They hit way less home runs when they didn't have the jacket therefore it's scientifically proven that the home run jacket leads to more home runs.

    Kloffenstein and Robberse were moved in the Hicks trade. It was Matt Svanson who was dealt for DeJong.

    Macko has also been assigned to AAA to start the season as well so he's also going to be interesting to follow. I would guess that Chad Dallas will also be pitching in the rotation for the Bisons. For the first time in forever the team may actually be able to field a full rotation in Buffalo instead of a patchwork group of multi inning relievers.

    You'll never catch me saying the Blue Jays depth is somehow amazing, but I do think it's sufficient to start the season with potential to actually improve over time as Tiedemann gains experience and Rodriguez builds stamina.
  18. max silver
    FFS that's really not any better.
  19. max silver
    WTF? It appears as if the dude is feeling up his grandma or something.
  20. max silver
    There's no need to panic at this point. Gausman himself expects to be ready to start the regular season as scheduled. If he misses time the team actually has plenty of depth to weather a short term absence. Manoah provided essentially no value out of the rotation last season so even the team's the least desirable depth options like Parsons could actually be more effective rotation options in his absence. If the team has a rough April it's not the end of the world in a 6 month season. They had an awful May last season and still qualified for the post season, a single rough month in not something to panic about.
  21. max silver
    Not to mention the fact that the Yankees traded a good chunk of their depth starters for Soto.
  22. max silver
    It seems pretty unlikely that both guys will make the team seeing as they would fill the same role.
  23. max silver
    One of these dudes put up a 128 wRC+ in September and 124 wRC+ in the second half so maybe he doesn't really compare to the 25 wRC+ September and 77 wRC+ second half numbers the other dude produced.
  24. max silver
    Seems like they are skirting the rules as Davis had a 232 wRC+ in spring play as of this morning.
  25. max silver
    Clement looks to be a really capable defender to my eyes in the small sample of innings I've seen him play. His third base metrics for his career are actually comparable to IKF on a pure rate basis as well.
