    So basically Thor?

    We need to do something to keep our SPs fresh and not tax the pen.. There is a 100% symbiotic relationship with our pen success vs SP IPs per game. Short starts, bad pen.

    I think this is the best move. My pre-season prediction based on Kikuchi's history was that he would possibly be an All-Star first half, and he would be s***** second half. I have never seen the durability or sustainability from him for a full season. I think your solution is the best way to get the most out of Kikuchi. SP first half, RP, second half.

    You misinterpreted my whole post. I was and am saying there were writers saying that Ortiz should not be a first round HoF and then posted a list using WAR comparisons of recent first round HoF, showing Ortiz all the way at the bottom of the list. I will try to post it, but this board always gives me issues with my pics. David Ortiz should have been a first round HoF. Using a WAR vs his position playing peers, was an unjust comparison that was screwing with him. Some highlights of just one article I remember seeing, below.... David Ortiz Had a Great MLB Career, but Not First-Ballot Hall of Fame Great The easiest place to start for the sake of comparing Ortiz to that group is with wins above replacement or WAR, which provides a numerical figure for the number of wins a player was worth to his team above a replacement-level player over the course of his career. Chipper Jones: 85.3 Ken Griffey Jr.: 83.8 Jeff Bagwell: 79.9 Frank Thomas: 73.8 Jim Thome: 73.1 Larry Walker: 72.7 Derek Jeter: 71.3 Barry Larkin: 70.5 Ivan Rodriguez: 68.7 Edgar Martinez: 68.4 Roberto Alomar: 67.0 Craig Biggio: 65.4 Mike Piazza: 59.5 Vladimir Guerrero: 59.5 David Ortiz: 55.3

    If Hatteberg can do it, anyone can

    My issue with WAR was very specific to David Ortiz and the HoF voters using it as a relative stat to judge David Ortiz against his peers and those already in the HoF. My issue was not with the metric, it was the use of the metric. Unfortunately, there were baseball writers using a WAR comparison for Ortiz who obviously played DH a significant amount of the part of his career that he had the most success. And thank you Tom for being here and taking everyone's questions.

    David Ortiz is example A of why WAR can be flawed.

    So just as a draft related FYI. I have some mutual friends on my FB page that had posted some pics and video from April of this year of Charlee Soto (RHP), another Florida HS kid. Charlee was volunteering his time and helping out with the Rotary Club and the Miracle league. I believe the Miracle league is a league for kids with disabilities. Basically, just all around praise for how good a kid he is/was and how he is very much already involved in giving back to the community. Congratulations Charlee for your selection by the Twins with the 34th pick of the 2023 FYPD!

    Congrats!!! Have you had your honeymoon yet??

    If there was just two divisions, yes, I assume so. Models I have seen were based on expansion teams coming in and Toronto being geographically closer to Detroit, Cleveland etc, going to the central. I just don't see them going back to two divisions since the renewed interest by fans who's teams are still in a playoff race down the stretch.. You could expand the WC I guess, but having 3 division winners per league plus the WCs means a lot more fan bases can stay interested in their teams longer... Or they could just let anyone in the playoffs like the NHL, and go back to two divisions

    I really think it had to do with the coaches and organizational approach. That is the only thing I can think of to explain the dramatic difference. I think he got to the Jays, they said this is what we would like you to try to do, and now he is in some messed up purgatory of trying to go back to what worked but using the team approach and he has lost the edge as they said in Top Gun. I truly think he needs a full boot reset back to basics and what worked in AZ and the minors.

    Duval would be the best fit IMO for a RHB. Reason being you are not sacrificing D like some of the other names out there. A few others who would work, Renfroe, Joc, Profar (not as much power) Do not bring back Grichuck.. High K low contact Colorado mirage and his D sucked for his position.

    Cleveland had a 5-2 record against us last year. They destroyed us in the playoffs when we met coming out of a “weak” division. So now with a more balanced schedule, no guarantees we would even win the division. Plus, not interested in going from a premier division with the big matchups and media coverage like NYY and Red Sox to a bunch of teams that make we want to watch 80’s action movie re-runs instead. It would be like going from the SEC to the ACC in college football.

    I said in the predictions thread at the beginning of the year that the Jays would play .540 ball. They are actually doing better than my expectations going into the All-Star break at .549.
  17. Carlos Danger
    I do not see the O's moving Santander... They have enough still in the minors or recent call up to not have to rob a key player from their MLB roster. The O's pitching is good with more help on the way.

    Protips: Ball cap, or a baseball hat.. Not just "cap". Baseball glove, not mitt. Catcher, not Back Catcher. Hot dogs with all the garnishing or sausage /bratwurst if you can find them and beer are the most traditional ball park foods. Learn the words to Ok Blue Jays, so you can sing a long during the 7th inning stretch, where everyone gets up and well, stretches to music Don't cheer like it is a homerun just because a player hits the ball into the air in the outfield... Contain your glee until you know it was a HR or a hit... Don't call it a match, it is a baseball game. Enjoy!!!!

    Great video, great kid and I always want to see my Florida boys do well. My only hang up is I really think the Jays needed someone who can get to the show sooner or become a major trade asset sooner... Sooo many variables and soo much time with 17 yr olds..

    In his last year with the Jays his 2B D was atrocious. I remember distinctly. I met Aaron Hill personally and hung out with him and was one of if not my favorite players at the time. He also helped me win a Yahoo fantasy league one year with his bat. He was moved off SS due to his s*** D. Then his last year he cost us and the pitchers a lot of big games not making plays he should have at 2b. Not all were errors, but key plays where he should have made the play or better foot work making the pivot for a DP at 2b on the throw to 1b etc. It sucked because I really liked him... But in his last year with the Jays it was rough...
  22. Carlos Danger
    Oh, he was the PTBNL?
  23. Carlos Danger
    What's not accurate..? He hit well with the Jays first few years, then pretty much sucked after his ALCBPY.. He got moved off SS for D and then cost us a s*** load of games with his s*** D at 2b, a few against the Yankees in big games... He was revitalized in the NL for a bit after the trade, but when he left the Jays he couldn't hit or play D worth a s***.

    ???

    Wasn't first round/first pick...I should have clarified. Jays don't have a great history using their 1st pick in the draft on SS. Hill one of the better ones for a short time. Austin Martin fell to us and we were able to trade him for Berrios before his value totally tanked. So, good use of the asset. There are a lot of big misses though in the first pick at SS going back to the early 90s.
