    LOL I cant believe you just made this comment. Take a break from the numbers and use some actual baseball logic sir. Answer should be self-evident as to why majority of teams prefer lineup balance...
  2. Jays24
    Going forward, if Baltimore gets the resources that the Braves get then hell ya, they can be the next Houston Astros. No one will ever be the Dodgers in terms of resources. My point was that the Orioles already have a great young team in the majors with a very good farm system still. They have just needed some spending on vets to certify their World Series chances. Like I said, thank God the schedules have been balanced lol.

    I enjoy that you're a glass half full guy. It balances me being a glass half empty guy lol. Also you might want to recheck your numbers... 99-196 wRC+ is quite the range for Varsho lol. And if you look at each of the players alone, they aren't as bad because they'd all be batting 8th/9th in most good lineups. Then you realize that all those guys and IFK will be taking majority of their ABs on the same team is when some begin to panic lol.

    Ya I don't think most will hold it against this front office to not dish out dumb contracts to yoyo players. It's more about capitalizing in the Vladdy/Bo window which is shrinking and pretty much up after this season. If we fail this upcoming season, there's a reasonable chance we might have to trade Bo/Vlad and enter a semi-rebuild. If we end up re-signing them then that means we need to trade away other players, which would make us worse.

    f***ing hell... like many have already said, this is horrible news for us. Baltimore is probably in the best position in baseball or top 3 at least for sustained winning. Now they've taken care of the only thing that was in their way. Get ready for a dynasty folks.
  6. Jays24
    Exactly this. Our biggest issue without question was offense this past season and so far we spent 49M on KK, IFK, Green, Rodriguez and Turner. I have no issues with Green and don't know enough about Rodriguez to form a good opinion but spending 31M on the remaining guys when the clear need was offense is disheartening. I have no clue how we're going to score any runs when the bottom half of the lineup is absolutely putrid.
  7. Jays24
    They were horrible entertainment last year and they've gotten worse offensively this offseason. Gonna be hoping for a lot of 2-1 wins this year lol
  8. Jays24
    RF Springer SS Bo 1B Vlad DH Turner C Kirk/Jansen LF Varsho 2B Biggio/Schneider 3B IFK CF KK Holy s*** I wanted to puke typing this lineup out. Please for the love of God get one more impact bat. That might be the worst bottom 4 from all teams trying to get into the playoffs. Not only does the lineup suck, it has 0 balance since all our lefties suck lol.
  9. Jays24
    Ya I agree if it's on the contracts THEY want but the fact it's almost Feb and they're unsigned makes me think their contracts won't look as bad as we all thought. Bellinger would be ideal simply because he's a left handed bat who can bat 3rd for us and provides plus defense.
  10. Jays24
    Maybe he can but it was embarrassing watching him at the plate last year. I truly hope he can turn it around because he seems like a great teammate/hard worker. I'm just basing this on what I've actually seen. This team still needs to add one more legit bat at 3B/LF. The offense currently won't allow the Jays to be legit World Series contenders.
  11. Jays24
    Clearly has to be Bellinger/Chapman on a signing front. Seeing Varsho and IFK scheduled to be full time starters at 3B/LF is a disaster offensively with very little upside.
  12. Jays24
    If this is our biggest signing in the offseason, you'll get a lot of upset people. If we can still add a better player than Turner, fans will be happy.
  13. Jays24
    Let's trade our highest potential offensive player for a team that desperately needs it? While Vlad has been disappointing the past few years, there are plenty of other problems on this roster.
  14. Jays24
    Good luck winning the Arb hearing now. Vlad - "I'd like to present evidence number 1, MLB The Show Cover Athlete." Case closed.
  15. Jays24
    For a bunch of people who live and die on analytics, please go check Turner's defensive numbers. He's not going to get better at age 39. He's pretty much a full time DH who will hurt you defensively when he's forced out there. I am extremely underwhelmed at this signing. I don't hate it but I definitely don't love it. Going from Ohtani/Soto/Yamamoto to IFK/Turner/KK lol. This team still needs to add one more impact bat to the lineup. You cant have IFK and Varsho getting that many AB's playing 3B/LF.
  16. Jays24
    I would not be happy with Turner over JDM/Soler. The old bastard is still hitting better than I thought he would at his age but I'm expecting him to fall off a cliff very shortly. The only way this would make sense is if they nab Bellinger too and had to go cheaper in the DH route. Belli and Turner also played together for a while with the Dodgers. Probably just copium on my end here lol.
  17. Jays24
    Ya who the f*** cares for Joc. They probably did what they do for most free agents by slightly underbidding and letting the player accept or have another team come over the top. Now if we come up empty on JDM and Soler then I'll start crying lol.
  18. Jays24
    Ya, report makes it seem like Joc went for 500M over 10 Years. It wasn't really that hard to beat the contract he went for if they really wanted him lol.
  19. Jays24
    If this team signs JD or Votto, Frenchsoup needs to be unbanned and promoted to Mod immediately lol
  20. Jays24
    People aren't sure Schneider can play 2B at the major league level, 3B should be out of the question unless it's for emergency purposes. Also not sure how much you can expect Turner to play there at his age either. He'd be a DH who can play very little at 3B/1B imo.
  21. Jays24
    I'm already known for not being the biggest fan of future projections. There is no way I'd consider Horowitz close to JDM at the major league level. If we were still rebuilding, I'd totally be with you but we are in a "win now" window before Bo and Vlad extensions have to be factored in. Let Horowitz work his way into a full time role by starting as a backup/pinch hitter/injury insurance for the upcoming season.
  22. Jays24
    Both Chappy and Bellinger have picks tied to them correct? While it's not the main factor preventing teams from going after them, it's another layer that makes teams hesitant.

  25. Jays24
    Bellinger can also play 1B on the days Vlad DH's and is a left handed bat that could bat 3rd in between Bo and Vlad. Adding him kinda kills us going after a DH and also means IFK is going to get scheduled for 600 ABs at 3B since we couldnt afford Chappy too. Soler/J.D. and Chappy would be my preference still.
