  1. They banked on all of their underperforming players regressing to the norm (while making little to no changes in their approach) and also banking on all the overperforming players (bullpen, rotation) not to regress to their means (in performance and health). It was a terribly flawed approach.
  2. If the reports are to be believed, AA's team had to fight the new regime quite hard to draft Bo too. I do wonder what Vlad would have turned into on a team that had better development ability.
  3. It's truly amazing that after 9 years AA still has more relief pitchers he drafted on the roster than Atkins does. So far in the 2024 season for the Jays, guys AA drafted or signed in international period have 2.0 bWAR/2.2 fWAR. Atkins players have 0.7 bWAR/2.3 fWAR .
  4. I will go with our third basemen, Vlad, this afternoon
  5. Vogelbach if he is playing, Springer if he isn’t.
  6. I personally thought they were OK when I saw the initial leak (although I didn't love the hat and still don't) but seeing them with better lighting and the red accents (espeically this) really changed my opinion of them more than any marketing video or materials have.
  7. I like them, especially with the red accents worn with them. I'm not sure I could rank them as I'm inherently biased towards the Jays ones. I personally don't think the Rays are that special but do like the Rockies and Nationals quite a bit.
  8. No need to make a pick today as I'm guessing the City Connects will not be a homerun
  9. To be fair, they removed many of the stats for these players for things like their barnstorming tours and exhibition games. Otherwise, the counting stats would have been MUCH higher.
  10. Is it really an issue that Hugh Duffy, who played in a league pre-integration that had a collective batting average of .309 and an ERA of 5.33 is no longer the single season batting average leader? To me, it's not.
  11. Vlad for me today
  12. Vlad gets his turn with the Jack it tonight
  13. I saw that after I posted...perhaps the reports he didn't like it in the past were exaggerated.
  14. I would call myself team worried, but not panicking
  15. I saw mention of a homerun red carpet a couple of weeks back on twitter. Was that something that actually happened? Are they just bringing these things out for Bo's homers? If that is the case, this clubhouse might be really bad as he's the one guy who seems not to like those celebrations.
  16. Green's contract is terrible for a wildcard yet I can't argue with him being described that way.
  17. Don't get me wrong, I am worried but the season is far from over. Success can be contagious and there is a path to better days for this team. Vlad's putting up some good numbers, Bo's coming around and we know he can carry a team when he goes on a heater. Turner either turns it around or gets replaced by a Horwitz or Barger who could spark life into the lineup. Once the bats get going a bit, the RPs will not be pitching in high leverage nearly every pitch and that should hopefully help them out a bit. And if none of that happens, at least we will be rid of Atkins
  18. This must be like that new girl math. It could have been 20% below league average so it is actually 10%.
  19. Mayza was an AA draft pick too. So in 9 years this front office has drafted and developed Pearson alone as a bullpen arm. You should have lucked into a couple by this point in time.
  20. Is this management team honestly too stupid to realize that Richards is elite against left handed hitters? Sometimes I wonder if Schneider might be trying to get himself fired to get out of toxic situation with all of his pay. Not that it will matter given the way they hit ;(
