    I think the wisdom of a potential Gregorius signing depends largely on whether he's willing to primarily be a third baseman instead of shortstop. He's nowhere close to the caliber of player I'd consider moving Bo Bichette off of the position for. I certainly didn't give him enough credit for the ability to cover shortstop in the case of a Bichette injury in my original posts. If the Jays were to sign a shortstop to man third base I'd rather they shoot for Semien personally, although Gregorius would almost certainly be more cost effective. I'm not sure why Seager has such a bad reputation, when he's healthy and on the field he's a very good player. In 2019 he produced a WAR of 4.1/150, and in 2020 he produced 3.75/150. He's had one bad season in his career, and other than the bad 2018 he's basically been a 3.5+ win player.

    I simply think that Seager is a better player at this point of his career than Gregorius is and offers higher upside. I have strong suspicions that Gregorius is going to see his production tank as he was likely the recipient of good extremely good fortune in 2020.

    Seager is definitely a guy I'd like the front office to target. His salary isn't terrible considering he has 3 win upside, he plays a decent third base and would come with several years of control. After a rough 2018 he's rebounded nicely, producing 4.4 FWAR in 166 games.

    I'm not very excited about Gregorius either. His bat really isn't anything special, his expected stats the last few seasons don't paint a very pretty picture. He's more than likely to have a league average bat. That's an improvement on what's available in house for sure, but there should be better targets available to go after first.

    A better question is whether there are any Roark fans anywhere.

    Both guys are likely to be utilized as depth starters starting the year in Buffalo.

    If Bauer is willing to sign with Toronto that would most likely get it done.

    Take out Grichuk and replace him with Tellez.

    Bo needs to clean up his hacking tendencies a bit if he's to continue in the number 2 spot. Kevin Pillar displayed more discipline and a better K/BB split than Bo in 2020, hopefully that's just a shortened season blip from a young player that was a little anxious at the plate.

    Odorizzi is reportedly searching for a 3 year deal, however in this market and with the rough season he had I doubt he'll get an offer like that. He can serve as a cautionary tale against second tier starters turning down multi year contracts in favor of the qualifying offer, there's a good chance he'll end up short on overall earnings compared to had he accepted the Jays offer last offseason.

    Holy s*** it looks like your keyboard is having an aneurysm.

    Can't say I'm terribly disappointed by this news. Starting pitching and infield help are far more pressing needs than adding another DH to the roster.
  13. max silver
    100% Ozuna for me. He's by far the youngest of the three so should provide the most years of prime production. He also has the highest ceiling of the 3 as well. Turner would be nice in that infield is still a need, but I don't think he's likely to be very good 2 years from now given his advanced age.
  14. max silver
    That would be just fine. Playing time for Rowdy might be at a bit of a premium as Vladdy Jr. would obviously take precedence most games. Rowdy would make a nice option to have off the bench to pinch hit late in games when he's not in the starting lineup though.
  15. max silver
    Playing 2nd base almost gave the guy a nervous breakdown, he's just so much more natural in the outfield that it may be harmful to move him back.
  16. max silver
    I'm definitely not worried, more of a nervous excitement I guess. I would surmise Gurriel is likely to be the odd man out, I'd keep Teoscar on board since he can cover in center field from time to time, where Gurriel is likely limited to left.
  17. max silver
    Not thrilled about the fit on the current roster, there are already a plethora of guys whose best position is at DH. I like both Gurriel and Teoscar a lot, it will be interesting to see who is moved out to clear space. This certainly makes for a very stout lineup though, this team is going to scare a crazy amount of runs.
  18. max silver
    With the Springer addition there should be no room on the major league roster for Fisher, it's time to move on. He should start packing his bags for Baltimore.
  19. max silver
    I wouldn't expect a peep out of Marcus Stroman on this. Praising the current front office would likely be a fate worse than death for a vindictive little prick like Stroman.

    I'm super pumped about this pickup. I was starting to grow a bit antsy that Atkins and the front office would walk away and not seal this deal, but they went ahead and got their number 1 target. Now they just need to add a starter and maybe a little infield help and they are fully ready to rock.
  21. max silver
    I sure as s*** prefer Springer being signed for 6 years vs doing the same for LeMahieu.
  22. max silver
    If this only takes 5 years as expected I think the contract should provide plenty of value through it's duration. This is likely nothing like the crazy contracts of yesteryear handed out to the likes of Cano and Pujols that ran for 10 years and took the players into their late 30's/early 40's. Springer is young enough that he shouldn't turn into a pumpkin overnight.
  23. max silver
    Jays missing out on Springer at this point would feel worse than the Darvish and Ervin Santana scenarios combined.
  24. max silver
    Yates and springer both signing same day would soothe some nerves in the fanbase.

    Can't forget about Seager as well in the top free agent shortstop targets. I'd rank the shortstops as: 1. Francisco Lindor - probably best defender of this bunch, question marks with the bat have me pondering switching him with Story, very close 1-2 for me 2. Trevor Story - very well rounded game, speed/power defence all rolled into one 3. Corey Seager - possibly best bat of all of these players, but most likely to have to move off of short stop 4. Carlos Correa - awesome player when he's healthy, great bat and glove, but drops for me since he misses so much time due to injury 5. Javier Baez - super flashy glove, but too many questions with the bat due to high K low BB approach I have a hard time choosing who will be best bang for buck contract, first 4 players all have perennial 4+ win upside and will get paid accordingly. I suspect Lindor will be worst bang for buck though due to having the most name recognition among this group, he will almost certainly obtain a true superstar contract that he may have a hard time living up to as he ages.
