    Term is Craig Biggio's son's biggest fan and he'll be vigorously waving his pompoms each time Cavan comes to the plate.

    It seems like a majority of the fanbase actually believes that is true. Maybe they could be one of the more frustrating 83-67 teams based on the inability to score but the record isn't necessarily a fluke.

    That study does absolutely nothing to exonerate Colabello. That study had the anabolic steroid dissolved into DMSO, a well known absorption enhancer which facilitates the absorption of substances through the skin which wouldn't otherwise pass through the skin barrier on their own. Unless Colabello is inferring that he accidentally touched an anabolic steroid that just so happened to be dissolved in a penetration enhancing solvent this doesn't seem like it's much of a possible explanation for how he tested positive.

    Does the team retain control over White for next season? I know he's at least out of options but it sounds like he might be a legitimate swing man option again if he's improved his stuff to this degree.

    Apparently Josh Johnson failed his pre-trade physical and he had a really checkered injury history before that as well. It's not hugely surprising that he completely washed out of baseball soon afterwards.

    Not falling for anything, just playing along.

    There very well could be elite prospects knocking on the door by the end of 2025. I can't read the future any better than you can to definitively state what is going to happen. Bo could be retained as well, it's far from a given that he's leaving in free agency. Most of the expensive contracts expire around 2025-2026 so there will be available dollars to sign more players if that's desired as well.

    Aging expensive team with a 1-2 year window at best. One of MLB's worst farm systems with no MLB ready reinforcements to replace the aging veterans either.
  9. max silver
    Yeah Clement absolutely has 5+ win years in his future. Bo should be sent to AAA in his place.
  10. max silver
    Maybe you somehow missed the fact that Belt and Chapman are on the injured list right now and Bo is being eased back into action after multiple leg related injuries.
  11. max silver
    The team is missing Belt, Bo, Chapman and Jansen right now and is 50% made up of AAA players. 6-3 isn't at all bad given how many key regulars are out of commission at the moment.

    Biggio has been a solid offensive contributor for the last 3+ months vs Espinal who has been so bad he was a candidate to find himself optioned to the minors. This shouldn't be so hard for you to understand. Since he got his bat going Biggio has been the team's 10th highest WAR contributor as a bench player and has provided a 128 WRC+ against RHP off the bench. As a part time player there is nothing at all wrong with these types of contributions. I realize it's part of your troll persona to rag on Cavan Biggio 100% of the time no matter how he's actually performing at the time but it really shouldn't be that hard for you to give the guy a little credit when he's going well at the plate, much as been the case for the majority of this season.

    How about we go back to June of last season at which point Espinal stopped hitting and a trend that has continued right through this season as well. Since June 16 of last year Espinal has produced a 75 WRC+ and been worth a total of 0.2 WAR. You should really stop trying to defend the guy so much, he's legitimately been an awful baseball player for nearly 1.5 seasons now. Thankfully he's been contributing a bit of offense lately at a time where the Jays need all of the help they can get given the amount of regulars out of the lineup.

    I think Schneider is likely a legitimate above average bat. His primary weakness is already well known and he faces a majority of pitches up in the zone but he's continued to have a lot of success despite this. His pitch selection is already so good that he's ahead of the game compared to guys who chase out of the zone a ton.
  15. max silver
    That was a smart decision on his part as who would want to be stuck in Oakland on a team friendly deal. That organization shows zero loyalty to their fans or players so I sure as hell wouldn't have done the opposite.
  16. max silver
    This indicates Belt likely isn't available.
  17. max silver
    Absolutely. I see little chance he'd accept it as he's a Boras client but if he's willing to take a qualifying offer it's a good outcome for the team.
  18. max silver
    As long as he got his grade 10 all is good. I had grade 10 physics (this is actually true, I was in grade 10 while he was in grade 12) with Chad Kroeger but I at least managed to pass that class unlike Mr. Musician.
  19. max silver
    Chapman has gone from a guy who looked like he was playing himself into a Boegarts level mega contract into a guy who the Jays might be able to afford. I just question whether retaining him would be a wise choice given how much he's struggled at the plate for 3/5 of the season. On a 1 year pillow deal I'd love to see the team go that route as this front office has a great track record on deals like this, but I still expect someone will be able to offer Chapman a massive 4 or 5 year deal despite how uneven his season has been.
  20. max silver
    I think with his current bat Varsho is still likely a 3-4 outfielder if he spends all of his time in center field next season. A lot of the low FWAR value this season appears to be due to how poorly Varsho rates in left field according to Statcast which Fangraphs uses for their range values for outfield play. Baseball Reference uses DRS for it's defensive value and Varsho is sitting at 3.2 BWAR at the moment.

    Cheers dude, we are definitely at each others throats a lot this season with the frustrations this offense has put us through. I have no hard feelings either as I'm just here to share my opinions on a message board like everyone else. Here's to hoping the team continues to put up a bunch of runs for the rest of the season and makes the way into the playoffs on a high note.

    There's nothing passive in that post dummy, go back to your corner where you belong.

    I think there should be plenty of payroll space to add another quality player, but I'm not sure whether Arenado is the player they'd want to tie up this available payroll space. I worry a bit about him being squarely in the middle of his decline phase as he's having a pretty mediocre season compared to his typical standards. Aside from his stellar 2022 season his last 4 years have shown a player who is slowing down tremendously with the bat and really isn't someone I'd be comfortable with paying $30 million for another 4 seasons after this one.

    That's more than enough of the victim routine man as it's an obvious facade. You should go back an reread your recent posts, you are initiating all of the bad blood with the name calling and condescending nature while trying to portray yourself as an innocent victim. Take a look in the mirror, you are the poster who is bringing down the discussion with the bad behaviour in his posts. If you keep initiating drama of this nature it's going to keep coming back at you, take even a tiny shot at not starting fights with other posters and you won't keep finding yourself in these fights.
  25. max silver
    You could attempt to stop with the constant name calling and see how that turns out for you. You are constantly in attack mode every time a poster disagrees with you, and this sort of behavior is exactly what is leading you into a steady series of arguments instead of reasonable discussion. Stop acting like a troll with the baiting posts and you won't be treated like a troll, it really shouldn't be rocket science.
