    So you're saying they're holding back from building the best possible team because of expanded playoffs? Maybe that's why we have 0 playoff wins in this era loll.
  2. Jays24
    We wish we had an average farm system. Baseball America has us ranked 24th, which is one of the worst farm systems in baseball. Also imagine if baseball didn't expand their playoffs... not even sure if we would have had a single playoff appearance under Shatkins in that scenario lol.

    It's crazy that our payroll is maxed out and THIS is the team we have. How the hell are we going to look in a year or so when we have to figure out Bo/Vlad. Either we're losing them for prospects or we bring them back and have to cut payroll from elsewhere. Now I won't say they have done a horrible job, I just had higher expectations considering where we were after 2020.

    Vlad will def win his case imo.
  5. Jays24
    So you got Matt Chapman trying to get paid more than Altuve eh lol
  6. Jays24
    Can't believe you're saying this. This is like a Harvey Dent like move since you're usually on Team Positive lol.

    I definitely did not say our starters will suck but the health was MLB record setting levels. It's hard for that to repeat and if we see Mitch White and other AAA fodder being forced to start, we will see fallback there. In the end, I don't see the bounceback being high enough to overcome the fallback in other areas. Most fans were hoping we would try to take a step forward instead of taking a step back. That's where the disappointment comes from.

    People keep trying to push that we will get bounce backs from some guys while it wont be cancelled out in other areas. What says that our starters will set another MLB record in terms of health and make 30+ starts again? We lose a couple of starters to injuries and the drop-off will be felt. It was a horrible offseason and there's no other way to put it. Yes, we are still a good team but we were hoping to be great and we are definitely not that.

    I am so not pumped for this season if we are truly done man. A crappy hitting team has become crappier. Now I'm only speaking from an entertainment, last years Jays team was extremely unwatchable and I truly feel this years team is going be worse in that terms. We are going to be hoping for a lot of 2-1 wins.
  11. Jays24
    Damn... I thought we won more games that year but that was probably because we had an unreal 2nd half. Still easily the most fun I had watching baseball was the 2nd half of that year. Loved we had *******s like Jose/Donaldson/Stroman that made other teams hate us more lol
  12. Jays24
    Only the great AA was able to give us a division title in 2015 since '93. It's f***ing unreal lol.
  13. Jays24
    I dunno man... one team plays in the AL East while the other is in the AL West. Not as big of a difference after balancing schedules but its still a factor for us to deal with.
  14. Jays24
    It's time to play for 2nd in the division. They are becoming the new Astros/Dodgers for the time being. Thank god for expanded playoffs because this team wouldn't sniff the playoffs otherwise.
  15. Jays24
    Lolll definitely didn't want the convo to go down this path on a damn message board but Spanky is able to bring things out in people no one else can.
  16. Jays24
    I was speaking more about present times but that's impressive... respect level went up a bit lol
  17. Jays24
    I promise you that I'd school you in every aspect of baseball even with it being my 2nd sport lol.
  18. Jays24
    That's why I added the "great young foundation" part. This is what separates good teams like the Dodgers/Astros and the teams you mentioned including the Mets.
  19. Jays24
    Haha no, you said Kirk was a better baserunner than Moreno and that I should go check the numbers. And I do understand most of the numbers but won't pretend to know what goes into every calculation lol. I'd rather know what I'm actually watching on the field than be so reliant on fangraphs to tell me how to think every step of the way
  20. Jays24
    If the Orioles start going big game spending to go with their great young foundation then we are truly f***ed. Hope that's just a rumour.
  21. Jays24
    LOL so basically you have no opinions of your own based on what you see. Instead of posting, just use a fangraphs link going forward and let those numbers speak for you. Be warned though, it'll make you have takes like thinking Kirk is a better baserunner than Moreno lol
  22. Jays24
    I'm sure Bo will love being moved to 2B after working so hard to become average at SS right before hitting his big free agency lol.
  23. Jays24
    Ya I'm with you on most of what you said except the weight not being in "his control". Everyones weight is within their own control. I do have faith he'll be a good hitter but just not sure if it'll be good enough to justify batting 5th for a World Series contender. Please just add one more great hitter and we'll be set on paper.
  24. Jays24
    You also have to factor in that Burnes will be qualified so Baltimore will get a compensation pick if it is only 1 year. Great trade for the Orioles.
  25. Jays24
    Springer has YEARS of success so anyone who says he can bounce back is more likely to be right. Varsho and Kirk do not have this track record hitting wise at the major league level. Kirk/Varsho are just as likely to be bad at the plate as they are good, that's all my point is. Now i need your help on this buy does wRC+ account for base running? Kirk's baserunning cost us plenty of runs the past few years. That should also be factored into his overall offensive value but not sure how that can be measured properly.
