Toronto Chapman v. Detroit Bullpen; GM 2
Carlos Danger replied to Solaxys's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
First time I have watched this. Only 2 mins in and both commentators suck.. -
Hope isn't a viable plan. We need to assume based on modern day pitcher trends that we will incur injuries to our core SPs and BP. We need more depth. The Teams with the best depth will win the race...
-
Tulo said the same thing in 2015 lol
-
Nyquin just went to the Mets. Laureno would be my target.
-
Many teams could beat that. Not enough value and not enough pitching IMO. I also heard this afternoon they are looking for 5 vice 4. It is not our top 4 prospects in a vacuum, we have to beat out other Team’s prospects.
-
Angel’s don’t do that.. So no point
-
Nyquin is a target I wanted. I was hoping he would be part of a deal with Mahle or Castillo. Good pick up by the Mets..
-
I agree, we should see what happens at the deadline. Unlike Beeston, I am pretty sure Shapiro is vetoing or approving trade deals and not just from a financial perspective..

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2022)
Carlos Danger replied to Grant77's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
If the players are cool with the new turf, then you are right it is a non-issue.. The issue of grass vs turf was an issue previously in FA etc, so that is why it was an important issue.. I am not sure what the current perception is of the turf. I assume the fact we signed the injury prone Springer, it is not an issue anymore... -
That sucks, he is one of my favorite if not favorite spec SPs. The TJ will also probably affect the Marlin's willingness to move pitchers, which also sucks for us...
-
My reference was to AJ Burnett and B. J Ryan... I want us to get another Marlin's SP and an O's closer this year, for real!! I have been a Blue Jay fan since as long as I recall. First year I recall the team and knew what was going on was 83. I was at Exibition stadium the night before the clinch in 85 ready to charge the field.. My opinions on this board are derived from watching the Jays make the playoffs or near to it a hell of a lot in the 80's and 90's and not being able to get over the hump getting beat down by the A's, losing with a 3-1 lead to the Royals, losing to the Tigers down the stretch..until 92/93... In other words, I was learning about playoff success and failure from a fan perspective before half this board was born... I was just messing with you FYI. One of my greatest offseason experiences was the Winter Meetings when JPR did all the big signings, Good times!!
-
JP is that you? Get us an SP from the Marlins and a closer from the O's please!!! Tik tok tik tok!
-
Toronto had a 216 + or something run differential at this point in 2015 and were 2 games under .500 We are at a 56 + run differential at this point. Our sucess going fwd will be all about run prevention. Run prevention is from the first pitch to the last. That is why you can't ignore/just dump trash in your "in-between innings and think it is all about late innings, Sps and offense.
-
Would love that move! Fits various needs!!
-
It is not devoid of logic to understand in baseball the pressure dynamics on the pitchers, managers, defense etc when it is a 3-1 game vs a 6-1 game... You are being obtuse if you don't think we need to upgrade our middle long relief.. If you aquire a late inning guy, it pushes guy down maybe 1 inning. I want a Murpee, Lange, Sears, Poteet, Eli Morgan, Crismatt, type that can pitch two plus innings lights out when you need that bridge from starter to late inning guys. I was saying yesterday that if we fail to get the SP/s we want we might have to pivot and get as many as 4 BP arms. Richards, Banda, Beasley are areas for improvement/ upgradebale.. That is 3 right there... Not even addressing the Kikuchi situation and how that plays out.. If we get lucky we could also upgrade Castillo.. There is a lot of room for improvment in totality on the pitching side and you are not seeing the big picture by looking at our pitching through a straw.
-
It was 3-1 in the 5th before Richards gave up a 3 run HR.. That is why middle relief is important and we need to upgrade there also.. Wainright might not go 7 if still 3-1. The Jays at home and with their offense can 100% surpass a 2 run deficit... We didn't lose the game due to Wanright, we lost it because our pen was not able to keep it close and make everyone of those late inning ABs pressure packed and the manager worried about who's on deck and if such and such gets on if the tying run comes to the plate. That is why some teams are bringing in set up types in early inning situations like that... Those moments in mid innings can have a great impact on the game tratectory. We should NOT ignore our middle and long relief as part of our goal of overall team improvment. It is not about just a holds guy or a closer etc... Those moment in the 5th inning are just as important especially with our offensive abilities..

https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/toronto-blue-jays/lourdes-gurriel-jr-21125/ I don't understand this whole thing, on one hand it says arb eligible in the article you posted, then it says FA. The other sites have FA 2025... Where is it saying he is a UFA end of 2023??
-
LGR jr is not a FA until 2025, is a MLB piece, OF, good bat, Cuban. All the things Miami wants except for being left handed... Regardless, Miami wants OFs...
-
The Reds would though, and they have lot's of juicy targets! Full speed ahead!!
-
Yup, and they are looking for MLB bat... Problem is they want a lefty power bat, of which we don't have one... Might have to do a three way to land Pablo Lopez and maybe we can pick up one of their RPs as well.. That would be very fertile hunting grounds..
-
Anyone think Rip (Cole Hauser- Yellowstone) when they show the dugout profile shot of Schneider?
-
Lange would fit really well also..
-
Their pen sucked up until the deadline and then was excellent in the playoffs..
-
Or you have to Risky Business it and say What the f*** and go for it... With the Wild card situation, there is so much competition, it will cost you. The question as you pointed out is the cost going to be prospects or $$ I would rather spend $ in for a penny in for a pound and do what we need to to take us to the next level. Indians did it with the Miller trade in 2016... They didn't win the WS, but came damn close and Miller was a huge reason.. If we could get an Iglesias and the only cost is $$.. You need to do it, the stars lining up and getting something of equal value with little prospect capital or $$ is highly unlikely..
-
IF we went as high as 4 it would be a combo of upgrades to current RPs, late inning guys and a 5th SP, long relief type guy or spot starter SP/RP like a Sears (Yankees) Poteet (Marlins). I am NOT ok with what we have in totality in the pen. We need to upgrade in multiple spots.. It is not add 4 to what we have. We have the same pen we had a few weeks ago... We just have some recency bias since we have been winning.... I do not want to go to war with what we have now and want to upgrade by some combo of SPs/RPs, or IF we can't make it work with SPs, then go the KC Royals route cerca 2015 and have a lockdown pen from the 5th inning on and you only need to get 4 ips out of your starters...
