  1. So the Cardinals gave their 15th best prospect and lower for this trade? I cant see Arenado opting out of that contract. Seems like a steal for the Cardinals especially with the Rockies throwing in 50 million.
  2. Ya I know but that could have been with Fat Vlad showing up to camp. Sometimes it's good to see the player with your own eyes and use the numbers alongside to make your final judgment lol. Otherwise you start making decisions where you take out Shoemaker and Ray in favour of AJ f***ing Cole in Game 1 of the playoffs lol.
  3. It's more than weight loss... it's his desire to want to be the best he can be at all times. Just wanted to show that projections aren't always the be all, end all.
  4. Curious but how do projections take into account fat Vlad vs skinny motivated Vlad?
  5. https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/blue-jays-ideal-batting-order-look-like/sn-amp/ Not sure I'd put Gurriel 8th ever but man, our lineup is a dream. Gonna be investing in MLB the show for sure this year lol.
  6. You talk like youre a pitching coach for the team and know that Ray/Matz/Stripling are going to turn it around for sure next year. There's a chance for them to do it for sure but they can easily be another Garcia/Anderson/Roark. Walker was the best pitcher out of the bunch last year and that wasn't just looking at "ERA." That's all I was saying.
  7. Aside from Ryu, you just listed a bunch of players who had a miserable 2020 season. Walker just proved last season by being our 2nd best pitcher down the stretch so why couldn't I say he'd be our 2nd best pitcher for next season? But I do agree that he's closer to that pile than he is separating from it for next season.
  8. I got irrate skimming your post thinking that you were announcing the deal initially lol. A 2 year deal for Walker seems reasonable if we can't get Paxton/Odorizzi. He'd be our 2nd best starter at this point.
  9. It's crazy man. Guy almost wins the the triple crown and yet he's not anyone's target. We were close to getting Brantley so I'm curious why no one cared to go after him before we got Semien.
  10. Report: Blue Jays want more pitching, considering Rosenthal https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2102198
  11. Because he was touted to be the next great one and has shown this offseason he will do his best to reach those expectations. We are all hoping that his weight loss/dedication will mean good things for us. Otherwise he goes to the number 6/7 spot.
  12. So are the Cubs trying to win then or what. Their other moves have said otherwise.
  13. Imagine if the Mets didn't get a new Owner... we'd be like the only team actually shopping out here. Part of this reason really wanted us to go after Bauer because this will be the cheapest we'd get someone of his calibre. Things will probably skyrocket next offseason.
  14. Agreed... Merryweather is like 28 and had stuff like that all this time. I think it's safe to say he will be a reliever in the best case scenario. Even then, I'm not holding my breath on him staying healthy. His stuff is too good for him to be in the minors.
  15. Good thing is we that we should have some great options if we encounter injuries. If we could add some top tier starters, our team and farm system would be almost near in a perfect situation.
  16. Ys I totally agree. I was just saying what I felt to be realistic at this stage. We actually need a real Ace and a number 3 starter. Ryu should be your number 2/3 starter but is being used as an Ace because of our situation. Shatkins have said they won't be able to plug all holes in one offseason. They planned to fill the remainder during the trade deadline and next offseason. 2022 is when I'll have real world series aspirations for this team because we all know the current rotation is not carrying you far.
  17. Ys we have a bunch of 4/5 starters on the team. Pearson was far from impressive last year even when healthy so to rely on him isn't smart yet. We have 1 guy who is a solidified above average starter and even with Ryu, his injury history is something to be concerned about. I'm sure we'll add one of Odorizzi/Paxton/Walker. Ryu Free Agent or Trade Pearson Ray Stripling/Roark/Matz
  18. That's an unreal rotation. Their number 5 is better than our number 2 for the upcoming season lol.
  19. Hey, if he ain't coming here... I'm all for helping a national league team get him. Now that is if we don't play them in the world series. Oh and the stroman angle. His team does get better for next season but it also makes it much harder for the Mets to retain him lol.
  20. We already have Grichuk as our 4th OFer and have Biggio who can play all over the diamond. I think they're done in the position player market with the exception of a guy like Panik who we'd get on a minor league deal.
  21. Pretty sure he's going to the Mets. They just saved 5.2 mill from the trade with us. I'd expect that signing to get announced any day now.
  22. Ya its just a guess since there is familiarity with him.
  23. Ya I agree with you. I'm just not a fan of watching that sort of baseball. We got Ryu and maybe Pearson depending on how he looks but the rest are a bunch of guys who might get to go through the order once lol.
  24. The "professional hitter" (Panik) might be coming back. He started off slow but really picked it up afterwards. Not a bad bench option.
