  1. LOL how about you acknowledge the person who actually runs this board calling out the negative remarks you're defending. I'm sure the "not posting here" applies to them too :)
  2. Now you get to see how they really behave when people state an opinion they don't like lol.
  3. I didn't even read the article but giving you a thumbs down for being a jerk lol
  4. If Rodon and Martinez can become good hitters this year then our lineup is set. That's putting a lot of pressure on them so let's see how things play out, looking great so far. Need 2 of Martinez/Rodon/Wager/Barger/Clement/Schneider to step up.
  5. Did Barger get hurt today? Saw that he was replaced by Mcadoo. And should we use this as a general Spring Training Thread?
  6. Sucks that our 2 best hitters potentially don't have a real position to play (Martinez/Wager). But the bright side is our team doesn't have a full time DH.
  7. People are gonna crap on me but I'm telling you having Gimenez at SS and Bo at 2B would be a no brainer for me. Hopefully we'll see the Jays give it a shot for a few innings in the Spring to see how it looks.
  8. Martinez didn't even swing hard for that oppo homer, lasting impacts of the PEDs baby lol
  9. Oh damn... Jays are using a lot of good players today. Can't wait to formulate my opinion on Gimenez after his first AB lol
  10. So sad to think Myles Straw will make more than most of these guys lol
  11. He was great for us last year and can take the long role from Rodriguez who we can try in the 6th /7th inning role. Worst case, this gives us a lefty that the bullpen desperately needs.
  12. How the hell did he not get a MLB deal from anyone? He's definitely making our roster so just a matter of who's getting replaced...
  13. Most 1st baseman can barely move so Vladdy easily has the athleticism and arm strength advantage on them. Now his actual fielding and ensuring his glove doesn't blow up is below average lol.
  14. I'm not passing judgment on that comment, I've already said numerous times that Vladdy hasn't shown he should be getting a blank check. Just trade him or be ready to match any offer during free agency.
  15. Both are a joke in the context of the numbers being tossed around. That's why I feel the Jays probably offered 350M or so but we'll never know until someone leaks.
  16. How do we take the word of the front office who were trying to say "Vlad's record would have set records" and then got clowned when he had to clarify it would have set a Blue Jays record lol.
  17. My guess is Vlad wanted a deal closer to 500M and the Jays were offering a deal closer to 300M. Since we're all speaking out of our ass, thought I'd join the club lol. Front office should have already known Vladdy's number and if there was realistic wiggle room much sooner. Just trade the guy for the best package you can get but I doubt a front office that has their jobs on the line will do exactly that.
  18. Ya I'm all for making fun of everyone when the situation calls for it... just saw a post where Shatkins were out of bounds with many folks agreeing with it lol. And for the record, I hated Shatkins until 2020ish... then felt stupid for doubting him until 2022... had the pitchforks out ever since lol.
  19. So we're allowed to humiliate Vladdy by calling him all sorts of names but draw the line at making fun of Shatkins, good to know lol. I could care less if the Jays keep Vladdy or not as long as the Jays get better. From everything we know about both sides, both Vlad and the front office can be delusional regarding his actual worth. One thing we know for sure is that if you already know Vlad is delusional, it is literally the job of this front office to pivot to improve the situation. Obviously we'll see how it plays out from here but the situation doesn't look the best for the Blue Jays currently and that's all I care about.
  20. Majority of people aren't even arguing that you keep him at all costs... it's simply if you aren't keeping him then trade him when his value is the highest and you have the most amount of suitors for a bidding war. That also allows you to add the missing pieces in free agency to help justify a near 300M payroll. The fact they waited this long and were still so far apart just speaks to the lack of preparation from this front office. No one wants to see Vladdy walk away for nothing.
  21. Exactly... this is 100% the issue. I said from the start, that you need to figure out the Vlad situation at the beginning of free agency before teams fill up their 1B spots and have more money to throw around. This would also allow the Jays to pivot and spend accordingly in free agency. Now any bidding war would include far less teams and know the Jays are in a position of complete desperation. This front office is full of f***ing idiots and only the same people here will defend them while 95% of the fan base want these idiots gone.
  22. Devers/Casas/Campbell for Vlad/Bo lol
  23. I just wish they figured this out before free agency started. There were tons of other free agent 1st baseman available and the market for a Vladdy trade would have been much hotter. In the end, I think Rogers steps in to meet Vladdy's requirements together a deal done tonight, we'll soon find out.
