    In my world it is. Hope Shatkins can give me some relief within the next 21.5 hours lol.

    Oh for sure... I'm speaking from an "on paper" standpoint. Baseball is pretty random when it comes to the playoffs so I wouldn't say it's impossible. Heck, coming into the season, people expected us to be where the Yankees are at. Ok maybe not that great but at least atop the division lol.
  3. Jays24
    Could that be because Vladdy will want 400M for his 10 year extension? He's the type of guy I worry about getting fat as soon as he cashes in on his contract. Gotta keep the carrot dangling to the fatties lol

    Who the hell is this guy? Lol

    The Astros patched up their biggest weakness and have an insane lineup to match the pitching. Then you got the Yankees who were already better than us and just got even stronger by patching up their only real weakness. I dont see any realistic moves we can make that puts us on either of those teams level. We're almost at a point that we can only win if those teams encounter major injuries

    If true, I will forgive them for the cell phone outage lol.
  7. Jays24
    I would never do a trade with the Rays man. Instead I would sign anyone they want long term lol.
  8. Jays24
    Gotta be Soto at this stage no? Too quiet on our front lol.
  9. Jays24
    Who the hell are we going to get? It's been so quiet on our front... too quiet.

    We could have traded them this years Tellez for Hadar lol. Seriously though... Odd trade for a team that's leading their division but I guess they didn't like the dip in Hadars performance this year.
  11. Jays24
    How many damn prospects do the Padres have man? Theyve been trading them for impact players for the past several years and yet they still have enough to still be a leader to get Soto?
  12. Jays24
    Finally hearing some news. Now let's hope we don't trade a decent prospect for Brad Hand again lol
  13. Jays24
    Damn... expected a lot more action in this thread... less than 2 days left and not much has happened.
  14. Jays24
    Springer is Samuel L Jackson from Unbreakable... gets hurt sneezing man
  15. Jays24
    While Ohtani is great, him being a full time DH really doesnt fit our team. Springer and Kirk need that spot so you're basically benching those guys for a lot of games if we get Ohtani.
  16. Jays24
    Fun fact... Tellez has 20HRs and 64 RBIs already. He'd be 2nd in HRs and leading the team in RBIs. Sadly he wouldn't have gotten those At Bats on this team but boy do I wish we could have gotten a more useless player in return.
  17. Jays24
    There is 0 expectation for either of these guys... sad because they seem to have electric stuff.
  18. Jays24
    I do understand the politics and I never said Bo should be moved off SS permanently. We have a scrub like Zimmer who is moving Springer off CF so I thought a guy like Espinal should have no issues moving Bo off SS at times. Nothing permanent but just see how the defense performs with that alignment. I felt everyone else on the team has moved around any time it was needed so why no Bo. Good discussions though.
  19. Jays24
    Love the response and agree with a lot of it. Maybe I'm just a bigger fan of rewarding Espinal and would like to see his skills get maximized defensively. Agreed that Bo hasn't been bad there at all... just felt Espy had a chance at gold glove status there.
  20. Jays24
    No one's saying he shouldn't still be developed as a SS. Just because if Bo was defensively replaced or moved to 2B here and there doesn't mean there's 0 chance he stays at SS. Look at Gurriel... guy was the first one replaced defensively all of last year. This year he has improved a lot and now Teo is the one who is being substituted defensively. Does that mean neither should be developed as corner OFers? We're in the winning window of our run where we are placing performance above development for every player but Bo it seems. Not hard to understand what I'm saying...
  21. Jays24
    Difference between us and KC is that we are in win now mode, we aren't rebuilding. It was OK to let guys develop at the sake of wins and losses before but as the Montoyo firing showed, it's not ok anymore. And like I just said above, no one was saying move him off SS full time. Springer is still our full time CF even though he moves to RF for Zimmer at times. I just find it curious that we didnt even try Semien last year and Espinal this year at SS for short stretches just to see how it would look. Imo, both would have been better defenders there. We've had no problems moving everyone else on the roster around when required. Just find it odd treating Bo above everyone else and was curious maybe someone knew the reason for this.
  22. Jays24
    Not sure why you only focused on the Biggio there. The whole purpose of my post was to say every single player has been moved around based on their performance to whatever degree. Bo is the only player that has been coddled and it could be for the very reason you stated about him being a very hard worker, which would make it more difficult to do the same with him. I just found it odd and was questioning it, that's all. At the very least, he should move down in the batting order. And I wasn't saying he should be moved off SS full time but more so that guys have moved all around the diamond in an effort to maximize our teams performance. If you aren't performing, seemed only natural to put in Semien last year and Espinal this year to see how they'd handle the position.
  23. Jays24
    I don't even want to see those 2 at bats a week. He might be the worst hitter I've seen in a Blue Jays uniform and that includes Josh Thole lol.
  24. Jays24
    I've been mentioning that Bo needs to be moved down to the 6th spot in the lineup. I am sick of how he's the only Jays player who has been babied on both sides of the ball his whole career. It's been back to back years where our current Second Baseman is a better SS defender than Bo and yet we haven't even tried switching Bo to 2B. Think about every player on our roster and how they've been moved around. - Vlad has batted 6th and got moved off 3B. - Springer plays RF when Zimmer is in - Teo/Gurriel have been replaced defensively more than I can count - Biggio was sent to AAA So I ask, why the special treatment for Bo and only Bo? He has never been defensively replaced, nor has be ever batted lower than 4th.
  25. Jays24
    Man... ohtani fixes the pitching and the left handed bat issue with one person. He would cost less than Soto and I think we'd have a chance to keep him because of his age so he won't be asking for a crazy 15 year contract. Although him being a full time DH sucks with a team that has Springer and Kirk on it so maybe it isn't as great of a fit. Very curious how his market value would be determined since he's an unprecedented player.
