    Haha that is exactly who I thought of and shivered at the thought lol
  2. Jays24
    Ya we still need a big left handed bat that can crack the top 4 of the order. I have no idea who that player will be and what position they'd play but it's def needed.
  3. Jays24
    Are you putting Merrifield as the 3rd OFer who is better? He is better suited to be the 4th OF and starting 2B. Also, I highly doubt KK would have signed here over the Dodgers thinking he'd be the 4th OFer. Nor would our front office give the man 2/24 if they thought he was the 4th OFer. Seems pretty easy to extrapolate lol.

    Worse. Something about getting rid of your cleanup hitter who showed up large in the playoffs for a guy coming off major Hip surgery doesn't call it a wash for me. Teo is entering a contract year so I fully expect him to have the best year of his career. The reliever from Seattle will need to be lights out in high leverage situations for things to look good for us.
  5. Jays24
    Well... we beat out of the Dodgers for his services so the price isn't going to be light. Always good to get a player that one of the best teams in baseball want too.
  6. Jays24
    I can see him and Springer getting into a fight when KK calls him off for a routine fly ball lol
  7. Jays24
    Who's the best hitting lefty that Shatkins have acquired or developed during their entire era? I'm honestly drawing a blank here lol.
  8. Jays24
    Does he? I see he's projected at 1.2 WAR
  9. Jays24
    *3rd, which makes him a starter currently. Everyone saying he's our 4th/5th OFer is out to lunch lol.
  10. Jays24
    Guessing it's gonna piss a lot of people off so I'll say 3/35 lol
  11. Jays24
    Let's wait until we hear the terms of the deal lol
  12. Jays24
    While I'm really happy with this signing and he's obviously not coming here to be Zimmer, Bellinger provides that possibility of returning to his MVP form. I'd also want a guy who rejected multi year deals to bet on himself. I have no doubts that he'll have a much improved year.
  13. Jays24
    Oh no doubt that we are worse today than we were last year and last year wasn't good enough. Let's see how the rest of the offseason unfolds.
  14. Jays24
    I am a big fan of this signing. The importance of his CF defense will be massive. I wonder how much he got though.
  15. Jays24
    I think the Jays are making offers to a lot of free agents but trying to get them on their terms aka at a bargain. It's a good method in case the market for the player isn't what was expected. Landing Gausman/Springer were great gets. I can't even fault the front office for going after Ryu, just wish they negotiated better on that 4th year.
  16. Jays24
    The old Yankees sure but I hoped Hal kept being more of a money conscience owner lol
  17. Jays24
    Ya dude... our bullpen had nothing to do with HISTORICALLY blowing a 8-1 lead at home in a playoff game. Gosh, you're just so smart lol.
  18. Jays24
    If this happens then I'm going to be absolutely pissed as a Jays fan. These f***ers went from possibly losing Judge to getting him back AND adding Correa.
  19. Jays24
    Disagree... we all see how playoff baseball is played and the level of importance shutdown relievers have. Romano is our best and he'd be like the 3rd/4th reliever on most playoff teams. Again, don't take this as Shatkins sucking all together. They've done a great job getting us to this point. They just need to keep that momentum going whereas some feel (including me), we stagnated this past season.
  20. Jays24
    Especially when their philosophy is to pull their starting pitchers as early as possible. If you wanna have the philosophy of the Rays then go trying bringing a similar level of pen arms. They have neglected this glaring aspect through free agency and haven't had much help from their farm system. Even when they were with the Indians, it was after they left that the next GM brought in Andrew Miller. He ended up being their MVP and the Indians achieved their greatest team success afterwards. Still have nightmares of him absolutely shutting us down in the playoffs.
  21. Jays24
    I definitely don't think they've screwed up so hope that wasn't what you got from my post. They also haven't done well enough to get a much longer leash. Everything we see on the field is exactly how they wanted and they've been given enough time and money to do so. In my eyes, Atkins has this upcoming season for the team to make some noise or he'll be gone. Shapiro on the other hand has a longer leash. Outside looking in, this org seems to have a bunch of yes men and not enough people who challenge the methods/procedures from top down. Don't think Mattingly will be the savior but at least that's a voice who I feel is different than what they've had during their entire tenure here.
  22. Jays24
    Doubt it had anything to do with Riccairdi. He still signed that 1 day deal to retire as a Jay. From everything out there, Brandy didn't appreciate how the Jays aka Shatkins treated him during his post playing career. Shatkins is pretty much hated by the 2015 team and had a really rough run with their PR during their early years.
  23. Jays24
    Exactly... What Shatkins promised everyone was a constant wave of young talent being infused into the big league squad to build a "sustainable winner." Well, let's see who the next wave will be once the Vladdy and Bo extensions kick in because no chance we are going to spend 250M on a payroll lol.
  24. Jays24
    This is where I feel people are wrong. Just because we did well offensively last year does not mean we are able to take one of the best contributors out without being much better in other areas. Our bullpen, defense and starting pitching has not gotten better enough to offset that particular loss. And yes, I understand there's still a lot of offseason left but just addressing that train of thought as we currently stand.
  25. Jays24
    Shatkins were given a big budget and a blank slate while being given the best player on the team currently (Vlad). It's been 7 years since they've been here so everything should be solely on them and no one else. Now we're still World Series contenders who just need to patch up a few major holes to really take that next step. Let's hope Shatkins can make that happen or else their asses won't be here in a few years.
