  1. I don’t think we could have received much that moved the needle for Jansen unless they would have moved him. We can’t just keep waiting for more specs to maybe pan out and lose our window. It also goes to roster management. Now you can DH a catcher and not have to carry three catchers. I don’t think you could effectively get both Moreno and Kirk’s bat in the lineup daily so not ideal either.
  2. I should have asked for a comma for Christmas…
  3. Remember 2015 at the trade deadline. We were something like 185 plus in runs scored vs runs against but a .500 team. Tulu, Price, Rivera the pen guys were all for run prevention. We didn’t have a run scoring problem. Once we shored up the run prevention, we ended up going on a run and won the Division. Also, a tight playoff game, against playoff teams #1 -# 3 SPs you want a dynamic offense that can score in different ways. Teo and LGR were the same thing and you could attack them from the pen the same way. Varsho and KK change it up and give us some other ways to score runs. Plus you are still getting 27 HRs and 16 SBs from Varsho with his trends going upwards..
  4. I have been one of the biggest critics of the pen. That is why I like the Swanson addition and the off season is not over yet. We went to the playoffs twice as a WC and got swept. The fact of the matter is that even with Teo and LGR we did not score more runs than the other teams. Therefore, run prevention is the formula to go to the next level. Divison champs and advance to WS. Swanson over Teo, Varsho over both Teo and LGR and Bassit over our 4 and 5 sps we started with last year and anything we used to fill in throughout the year.
  5. This off season is similar. I remember the whole thing vividly. Basically, we were a playoff team, division winner or near, multiple times the years prior. In the playoffs we got destroyed. I remember Ricky Henderson single handily finishing Ernie Witts career. My dad told me before he died repeatedly, the Blue Jays teams at the time didn’t have the chemistry to win a WS. On paper and when I would look at some newspaper positional comparisons, the Blue Jays looked just as good or better as other teams. However, the end of the year results did not reflect what was on paper. Gillick knew this: The Alomar and Carter trade was as much to change the chemistry as it was for talent. That and bringing in guys like Winfield, Jack Morris, Molitor, Henderson and Stuart. Plus they had Devo and Alomar up the middle - Run prevention. You guys know the results.
  6. Evoldi is a playoff stud who can actually transition to the pen well if needed. Would be a great #5, Or higher on some teams.
  7. I am in 10 leagues and I have him in 9 out of 10. Don’t you think I haven’t been trying to acquire him the in that one also.
  8. So for those worried about Varsho and offense. From a Fantasy standpoint, which is offense only. Catcher- Varsho is ranked #2 behind Reamulto in many rankings. If not #2, no lower than 5. CF- Top 15 OF top 20 or 30 depending on which ranking. Plus elite D and multi positional talent.
  9. Your right BTS. My info old. I hadn’t checked him out recently. This was prior to last year. His major concerns are in the form of contact hitting and plate discipline. As of right now, he has to make massive leaps to stay north of the Mendoza line, and likely will spend his entire career suffering a high number of strikeouts
  10. Jordan Walker has had huge K issues and is not proven. Varsho has only been getting better on the biggest stage on a crap team.
  11. You are very wrong. We are way better as a Team.
  12. Moreno has no power and is a surplus. Varsho elite D at CF, LHB with power that can also catch.
  13. I just came! Everybody in my hotel is covered in my splooge. I feel another one coming!!
  14. Yes, exactly! Which makes the PR of Osuna signing even worse, or should have anyway.
  15. Deadpool officially entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe in July 2021 when he did a promo for Free Guy. Deadpool has always been part of the Marvel Comic Universe. https://ew.com/movies/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-enters-mcu-korg-free-guy/
  16. What’s the difference between Osuna and Bauer for PR? I don’t think the Stros lost sponsors.. Astros are probably just going to get better…
  17. We were talking about Verdugo yesterday. He is a LHB and can play CF. Add Houck instead of Yorke and I would do it
  18. This was sarcasm. The real Deadpool would have given it a lol.
  19. Trust me, I know you 100% think that. That is what makes it so funny. Just thousands of bad, bad baseball takes living in cyber history is your legacy. Spoiling the name of the best MCU character of them all.
  20. Time to get on the horn to AZ or Pit now…
  21. Conforto to the Giants on a two year $36 million dollar deal. Lol the Giants taking Haniger and Conforto but worried about injury propensity. In their defense, huge difference in contract length and terms for those two vs CC.
  22. Yea, but he is a quitter not a beater. No one likes a quitter..
  23. I didn’t say one negative thing about Manoah Grant. I even said that in my posts. Recent suck, injury history and age are trends/factors that should not be ignored for Ryu and I said that. Just take the loss on this one and own it. All I said in my OP was I don’t think we have enough depth starting the 2022 season. At the end if the day it was a spot on assertion. Maybe I will be proven wrong this year, which will be a good thing for the Team and the fans.
  24. https://www.bluejaysmessageboard.com/threads/10277-Toronto-Blue-Jays-Roster-Discussion-(2022)/page2?highlight=roster+2022 Starts post #22 Deadpool says “nonsense” . Not surprised by the fake Deadpool since he exists on post count, not post quality. Stanstag- LOL What!! Grant being Grant, the rest is self evident. Almost like Deje vu….. Then again questioning the pen in post # 51….
  25. Jim is right on this one. Some serious revisionist history going on. Last year I said I didn’t like our pitching depth and I was arrogantly laughed out of the room and told, “bad take Carlos, etc”, the staff is one of best in the league etc. Now a bunch of you are saying it was obvious last year. The starting 4 is better than last year, but we still need “solid” depth. Just because some other teams don’t have solid guys for 5 and 6 doesn’t mean we should not. We need to improve and be better then last year in as many facets as possible. Just plugging guys in to fill holes does not go toward the objective. I hope we land more solid pitching.
