  1. Astros were too busy winning world series titles and actually contending every year while we just finished 6th last in the MLB after not winning a single playoff game with this core ever lol. And Soto was just an example since his term will look similar to Vladdys.
  2. Are people really defending the front office if Vlad walks away for nothing but a comp pick? It is your friggin job to manage your assets. Padres were able to trade FOR and then trade AWAY a much better player in Soto once they knew they weren't going to sign any sort of extension. The latest this should have gone is the start of this past free agency. These little league excuses are hilarious lol.
  3. I'm definitely not saying letting Yarborough go should be any reason to fire anyone even though I didn't like the move. Just mentioned it's just a small footnote to the lengthy list of people who want him gone lol. For the record, I think the entire AL sucks so why can't we suck less than the others? Still not happy with who our 4th best hitter is but this team isn't much worse than any other team in the AL. If things break right, we can have a magical season.
  4. There's plenty of reasons to want to fire Shatkins so those folks are just adding 1 more item to the list. We'll know soon enough based on how this season goes whether it was a smart or stupid decision to keep them around.
  5. He's made a whole career of being a useful longman with his stuff. He was going to be paid peanuts for his role. I doubt we're going to find someone as good in that price range. I'll irrationally be a Yarborough fan lol.
  6. Letting Yarborough is a bad decision. He's a proven long man that most teams need coming out of spring, not to mention being left handed.
  7. Not to mention Vladdy grew up with "F U money" while I doubt Kirk did
  8. He wants to get paid like he's been the 2021 version of himself every year. I blame the Jays for not realizing the stupidity on the field would transfer to off the field and just trade him.
  9. It's a 1 year deal and this team definitely needed a Starter... you can't complain much about this signing. I'm wondering if he'd made a shift to the bullpen to become a closer to extend his career.
  10. He looked amazing tbh and made a great behind the back play in the field
  11. Im not saying Straw is better than Roden but for what this team will need as a temporary Varsho replacement at CF. And I'd rather use a small Spring Training sample size than projections, Straw has looked good enough imo.
  12. Ya, i can't see the Jays letting him go considering he's a lefty and has been a proven long man out of the bullpen that every team needs when breaking camp.
  13. Who would do better in CF while Varsho is out, Roden or Springer? Personally, I think Straw has done enough to get the nod since we're paying him 5M anyways.
  14. Scherzer about to win the Cy Young and the Gold Glove lol
  15. That last spot on the 40 man has gotta go to Yarborough
  16. Ya I agree that we should milk Straw while we need him and looks good, he won't be as useful once Varsho comes back. The only issue is that Straw isn't on the 40 man so you'd have to get rid of someone to use him for however long Varsho is out for.
  17. And just like that, we have a Springer Dinger. Shame on all of YOU for doubting him!!! Lol
  18. Springer is GREAT. This message was in no way editted ever lol.
  19. While those things are true, i think its also flawed. Gimenez would need to be a high OBP guy to actually make that scenario practical. I prefer having Kirk up to bat in run driving positions that would come with batting right after the big 3. I see Gimenez more likely being a rally killer than a guy who will keep it going and be on base for Kirk based on his performance the past 2 seasons.
  20. Ya that's why I've been saying to move him right after our big 3. Would be a huge boost to the lineup if he can regain his allstar form again. Hope Schneider isn't stuck on the idea of splitting our lefties to the detriment of the overall lineup.
  21. VS Righties 3B Wagner SS Bo 1B Vlad DH Santandar C Kirk CF Varsho RF Springer LF Barger/Rodon 2B Gimenez VS Lefties SS Bo 1B Vlad DH/LF Santandar C Kirk RF Springer LF/DH Schneider/Martinez CF Varsho 3B Clement 2B Gimenez Obviously the positions will switch around based on who makes the team and who's in the lineup.
  22. Springer/Gimenez have been batting 4th/5th and 5th/6th.
  23. There's no way the Jays plan to use Gimenez 5th and Kirk 8th simply because of being a lefty/righty correct?
  24. Their future is fully dependent on how the Jays do this year. Shapiro nailed his fate with Atkins once he refused to fire him over the past couple of years. We all want the Jays to do well so if that means Shatkins stays as a result then I'm fine with it. Currently I got them as a fringe Wild Card team if things go right for the most part. I don't think the season will go well enough for them to remain here though... just my 2 cents.
