  1. And yet he's good enough to start for this team on opening day when he hasn't even had a full year at AAA?
  2. Normally it would make sense to manipulate his service time but there's too much riding on this season to probably not go with your best players period
  3. Like most already knew, ABS needs to be in baseball like yesterday. It's awesome
  4. Congrats Gallo, you are the new Cleanup Hitter for the Jays lol
  5. This roster already needs those guys even if Springer turns the clock back. This season will be heavily dependent upon having at least 2 of the AAA guys become good MLB contributors.
  6. Francis/Rodriguez/Bloss have been getting rocked all spring. Hope Francis can at least turn it around since the 5th spot is all but his.
  7. Wasn't me but if Jaysblue said it, I'll sign off on it without even knowing what he said lol.
  8. Thing is this team doesn't have anyone else on the roster except maybe Kirk who i could comfortably want as our cleanup hitter. I've loved what the kids have shown in Spring but I don't think anyone wants to throw them in the middle of our lineup yet. Let's hope Kirky has a big bounce back year.
  9. Haha literally the first time I called out seeing Springer/Gimenez in the 4/5 spot... maybe twice at most. Just getting warmed up for the season tbh lol.
  10. Our cleanup hitter (Springer) is 3/19 Our number 5 hitter (Gimenez) is 6/25 Gonna be a long season with those 2 in the middle or top of our lineup.
  11. It's just weird using extremely young players at the DH spot unless youre an Alvarez type. There should be enough ABs for Wagner/Rodon even if we added Martinez with injuries/day offs expected. Heck, I don't think J.D. is a savior but the middle of the lineup is so sad that he'd still be an upgrade from what we have currently.
  12. Ya I made the exact same comment. It's why the Jays needed to make 1 more big move to add a bat but I would even take if we took a flier on J.D. at this stage. The lineup just isn't serious enough to be an actual contender. We're going to waste half a year and then make a move at the deadline to add a bat. Rinse and repeat lol.
  13. Don't like the idea of pressuring some of our AAA guys to be impactful big league guys so fast but that's the position we're in. Ideally, Rodon/Martinez would get a full year at AAA to show deserve a spot. Still wanted one last move to get a big bat but that ship seems to have sailed. It's hard for me to trust Springer being in the top 4.
  14. Rodon/Barger/Clement homering today while Straw keeps hitting. Rodriguez/Francis/Bloss struggling. Really dont like Springer batting cleanup but enjoying some of the young kids performing well. We'll definitely need at least 2 from the group to be impactful players this season.
  15. I guessed Adam Lind right when looking at the pic. I'm not 100% on this like I was with Pat Borders though lol.
  16. Vladdy has been under control and has publicly stated he wants to stay with Toronto his whole career from the start. Jays could have easily had these talks at any point during his tenure and it was Vlad who actually created this self imposed deadline to even initiate these talks. It is literally the job of the Jays management to manage their assets. As soon as you find out an asset is being unreasonable, you as an organization need to do what's best for you. This will 100% come down on Shatkins either in a good or horrible way and rightfully so.
  17. No one's giving Shatkins anything, you trade his ass as soon as he asks for anything that ridiculous. It's like he thinks his whole career is a repeat of 2021.
  18. Let me know when I can expect to receive my brand new car lol
  19. It was close though... could also be Carter lol
  20. Ya thats why I said orignally I'd be more shocked if they were actually fired. Nothing about what they've done has shown they're fighting for their jobs.
  21. Shapiro tied himself to Atkins as soon as he didn't fire him the past 2 years. I'm honestly surprised they didn't mortgage whatever we do have in the farm to help win this season since it truly feels like an "all-in" year with so many years question marks after the year. Maybe it's still coming or maybe he's scared to do it after scolding AA for it when he took over lol.
  22. What was it for? Edit - Saw it was some fertility drug but joke still remains... hope he kept some of that extra testosterone in the system lol.
  23. Wagner - Bo - Vlad - Santandar seems like the top 4 but Wagner will definitely have to earn it in Spring Training for them to feel comfortable moving Springer out of the top 4. Also hoping Martinez has kept the lasting impacts of the roids to have a great year lol. This team needs another power bat in the middle of the order.
  24. Many thought Atkins would get fired after the Berrios fiasco when the organization looked like a joke. Then many thought both Atkins and Shapiro would get fired when we finished 5th worst or whatever it was in the MLB. At this point, I'll be more shocked if they ever get fired lol.
