    Yea, because it is ignorant to lump a group of people together due to the only commonality being language. Call a Persian and Arab and they get pissed. Call a half the Canadians American or say same s*** and Canadians get bent out of shape, call an Aussie a Brit or vice versa. Call a Japanese person Chinese or Korean. Call someone from France a French Canadian and they will be insulted, especially considering French the way it is spoken in France is so much cleaner and smooth then the guttural nasal French spoken in Quebec etc. Call someone from Calgary a Torontonian. Not racism it it pride of ones culture and origins, country, region etc.

    Just finished listening to AA part 1 of 2 on the Gibby show, good s***! Loving the show so far.

    I think you should be able to add Cole Wilcox as an SP or Springs type guy to that list by mid season 2023.

    Typical of the average Gringo or Canuck to lump all Spanish speaking players together. Miami and South Florida in general is full of Cubans, Colombians, Venezuelans, DR and others from South and central America. The border States Texas and West are primarily Mexicans and Central America. Even though they all speak Spanish, HUGE differences in the language and culture. Don't ever call a Colombian a Mexican or a Cuban a Mexican etc. Latinos are people from South America which includes Brazil which the language is Portuguese and not Spanish, yet they are still Latinos. The comment that Miami would want a player who is Mexican just because he speaks Spanish is like saying Toronto would want a player from Australia since they speak English and are part of the Commonwealth.

    If you want to be a stat nerd and refuse to look at the big picture of improving our Team, then we can look at Fantasy stats using the most sabremetric league on this board- LOD In LOD- Varsho is worth 81.89 points Kirk is worth 73.04. Varsho 79 runs scored to Kirks 59 Kirk 134 hits to Varsho's 125 hits Kirk RCs (Runs created) 74.4 to Varsho's 69.1 RC Varsho 74 RBIs vs Kirks 63 RBIs Varsho 27 HR, Kirk 14 HR Kirk .349 WOBA to Varsho's .319 WOBA Varsho .443 SLG% to Kirk's .415 SLG% Kirk 372 OBP to Varsho's 302 OBP Varsho 16 SBs to Kirk's 0 On the offensive side Kirk beats Varsho by about 5 total runs in Runs created. Fantasy only takes into account offense. The offense is close enough between the two with Varsho actually being better in some categories, plus his plus D and positional versitality and at key positons, makes it a no brainer! Put the straw down and look at the big picture!

    Kirk is Mexican. He would have more appeal to a west coast or Texas team.
  7. Carlos Danger
    Where are we at with that??? Do we have all our managers on board? All the switches turned on?
  8. Carlos Danger
    I would like to think Kirk will end up a Prince Fielder type. Regardless, with both Prince and Panda, weight/health issues ended up derailing them. I would be very wary of any long term contracts with Kirk. Hence another reason to trade while the value is high.
  9. Carlos Danger
    Good post! I don't disagree at all that Kirk is the superior overall offensive player. My point is and has been, that Varsho's offense is good enough, coupled with his plus D, that in totality, Varsho would make the TEAM better overall then Kirk does. Hence IF IF IF , Arizona was willing to trade Varsho, for Kirk, which I don't think they would do (AZ). I would do that deal without much hesitation to be honest.

    If you are only going to look at percentile rankings through a straw you should play fantasy baseball. It is not the way to build a better real life MLB team. Your deflection of my comments and inability to comprehend more then a stat page, shows ignorance of the big picture. The Blue Jays need run prevention as much or more then they need an improvement in offense.
  11. Carlos Danger
    A defense only type guy is someone you pinch hit for, or you sub in for a really good no defense hitter. If Varsho is on the team there is no need to PH for him and no need to sit him until a defensive replacement is needed. With Varsho specifically, the Blue Jays can trade a catcher and still DH a catcher. The fear with two catchers of DHng one is what if the starting catcher gets hurt? With Varsho you still have three catchers on the Team and improve your CF defense which improves your overall OF D. How many of the singles Kirk hit could have been stretched to two by Varsho. How many double plays would have not been completed with Varsho running vice Kirk. How many times would have Varsho gone 1st to 3rd, 2nd to home vs Kirk going station to station. How many times would Varsho been sent on sac fly and scored vs the amount of times they had to hold Kirk. 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to home. Not all hits if not a HR are created equal….
  12. Carlos Danger
    I think you need to look at a move like that from a Team approach vs player vs player. I strongly believe, that as a Team, considering roster makeup (3 catchers, current OF etc) , run prevention etc, the Blue Jays are a better Team with Varsho vs Kirk. The goal is to improve the Team, its not a H2H Fantasy league.
  13. Carlos Danger
    I wouldn’t simply because he went to the pen when he got off the IL. Those other three guys are SPs.
  14. Carlos Danger
    Varsho makes the Blue Jays better then just Kirk does. Plus CF/OF catcher, good hitter can SB, take the extra base on a single or sac fly, still young. Team Varsho here baby!
  15. Carlos Danger
    I am same same as some others. However, considering it is a Dynasty league, I would probably go Singer, Detmers, Cavalli.
  16. Carlos Danger
    Can any of those guys pitch? We need: Pitching Pitching Pitching Pitching and Pitching
  17. Carlos Danger
    A statement questioning the supposition.
  18. Carlos Danger
    9 runs were scored against us after it was 8-1. Saying that those runs were, “luck”, the “manager”, or “circumstance”, fails to account for all the runners on base when the three proceeding things occurred if you believe in that.
  19. Carlos Danger
    How many runners were on base and ended up scoring on the bloop hit? Heard the bad luck bloop hit a thousand times. There were three fnnnn runners on base in the first place.
  20. Carlos Danger
    No idea how anyone can say the Mariners are dog s***?
  21. Carlos Danger
    Wow, the team that swept the Jays at home just got swept in three. Jays must really suck.
  22. Carlos Danger
    Damn, all the teams I wanted to win today lost or are losing…
  23. Carlos Danger
    Bad take my friend. Same sort of thing you said pre-season when you said the rotation/depth was fine. Define fine I guess I would ask? No defined set up guy, one Romero injury from no closer. Guys who had a lot of bad outings with some really good ones is too inconsistent. Bass should NOT be used regularly in the 8th and def not the 9th. Again, fine BP for an average team. Compared to the competition who made the playoffs a weak spot relative to matchups. They were also overworked and probably burnt out. That’s what happens when you have two maybe three once Stripling started pitching, reliable starters. If you have a solid pen, maybe one falters but the other guys do what they are supposed to do. We had too many games where multiple RPs s*** the bed. A lot of them we were just lucky we scored 8, 9 runs etc.
  24. Carlos Danger
    When is the last time Cleveland won a world series? Losing an 8-1 lead is not just bad luck, to try and make it out as soley bad luck is being very obtuse. The fact of the matter is you are competing against other teams in baseball and the object Goal is to win a WS, not just make the WC. One being a COVID year where we also lost in 2 games. Who gives a s*** about how many wins if that doesn't translate into playoff success. With all those wins the Jays got, there were still a bunch of other teams with equal or more. Ross has done some great moves, Chapman as an example, but if you look at the results in totality vs the object goal.. As I said, one more year. 2020 expanded playoffs out in 2. 2021 Did not make the playoffs 2022- Many red flags not addressed. Just a good enough team to make the WC but not enough done to adjust the roster to be a dominant playoff team.
  25. Carlos Danger
    I am in an off-board fantasy league where we have $ budgets and contracts etc. In the pre-season there is a prediction game that we play that if we win we get more contract $. Questions like who will be the 6 playoffs teams, which team will finish 10th who will represent the AL, NL in the WS, who will win the WS. I chose Seattle to win the WS. I just don’t see why you think they are such a crappy team?? They are built for the playoffs, more so then we are/were.
