    Just a few posts back in this thread MikeM said he thought Thor could get $100 million on the open market.
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    That'd be quite the gamble signing Thor to 4 x 25 or 5 x 20 or something like that. Apparently Verlander is having a show case tomorrow for teams to watch him pitch. I bet he signs with the Yankees if he looks good.

    Even if they move Moreno off of catcher for now, I think there is a chance we could still see Kirk moved for a young controllable starting pitcher. Jansen finally got healthy and finally stopped getting f***ed by the BABIP monster, I don't think he's a flash in the pan, and there is nothing wrong with Mcguire as a back up catcher. I think Kirk would have more value in a trade, but he's also more of a risk because of his body type. I don't think we see the Jays give out another Springer type contract this off season to a position player over the age of 30. I think they are going to go hard after Gausman via free agency, and I think they are going to go hard for Ramirez via trade.

    I just keep coming back to Jose Ramirez at 3B for the Jays. Hate losing high end prospects, and it's not good that he'd only be under control for two more season, but damn he's such a perfect fit. He replaces Semien's production all by himself, fills the gaping hole at 3B with above average defense, and adds a switch hitting MVP caliber bat. Then you have a healthy Biggio back at 2B with his solid high OBP left handed bat and just like the Jays likely have a solid 9-10 WAR combined between the two of them, and have diversified their offensive profile. Man it's going to be a long off season, with the CBA issues and waiting to see which way the Jays go in bolstering their roster.
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    Agreed
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Listened to a pod cast yesterday, Zwelling I think...they had Atkins on. He sure sounded like he felt Biggio was still going to be a big part of the team next season. Was excited about his discipline at the plate adding a different look to the Jays batting order.
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    I thought throw him a chair meant to "sit him down"....as in get him out.
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    Love Freddie, but 6 years and $25 million per for a 32 year old 1B is not a great idea What do you do if Vladdy can't handle 3B?
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    If the Jays think they can get a LH outfield bat like Schwarber, Conforto or Rosario, maybe they can use Gurriel as trade bait? Something like Gurriel, Espinal, Van Eyk for Chapman and Manaea or Bassitt maybe?
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    The Jays should also do a procedure on Pearson where they extract some Alek Manoah blood and inject it into Nate Pearson. With Pearson's stuff, if he was as physically durable and mentally tough as Alek Manoah he'd steam roll MLB.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    I'd be ok with signing Kyle if it meant Corey was also signing with the Jays to play 2B.

    Kirk and Van Eyk for Pablo Lopez Sign Syndergaard 1 x $25M Sign Schwarber 3 x $45M Sign Yates 1 x $2M Sign Neris 3 x $33M Sign Givens 1 x 6M ---------------------------------------------- C - Jansen 1B - Vladdy 2B - Biggio 3B - Espinal / Smith SS - Bo LF - Gurriel CF - Springer RF - Teo DH - Schwarber 1.

  13. Eat My Shatkins
    I wonder, are we continuing to sell Kevin Smith short as a future 3B for the Jays? 144 wRC+ as 24 year old rookie in AAA and strong defensive metrics. Maybe the Jays best course of action is to let Smith and Espinal (both projected as 90~ wRC+ by steamer and both solid defenders) duke it out for 3B duties
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    I'm still hoping there is a way for both these teams to lose. I don't want to see the cheats win but it pisses me off to no end that a team with less wins than the Jays, and who the Jays went 6 for 6 against this season, is on the brink of a WS championship because they got hot at the right time and just happen to be in the shittiest division in baseball. They shouldn't have even got a sniff of the playoffs never mind win a WS. They won 88 games in a division where 2nd place only won 82.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    I hate the idea of losing the DH when you take your starter out. So your starter gets his s*** pushed in forcing you to take him out and now you lose one of your best f***ing hitters reducing your ability to come back and win? Awful idea
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    Big fan of this one.
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Could the Jays get Chapman plus one of Manea/Bassitt without giving up Orelvis/Moreno/Groshans? EDIT: LOL the post above I didn't see, pretty much answers that. Certainly possible I guess.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    I agree. What did Bo produce in his first 120~ games in MLB? 4 WAR? I could see Moreno coming up with 120~ games left next season and putting up 3-4 WAR at 3B
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    Full year of Berrios could bring more WAR Full year of Manoah could bring more WAR Full year of healthy Biggio could bring more WAR Full year of non-s***** Jansen and healthy Kirk could bring more WAR Whoever replaces Ray and Matz in the rotation may not combine for 8-9 WAR, but should replace some of it Also, the you sure as f*** hope the bullpen doesn't leave as much WAR on the table this next season as it did last season.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    Should the Jays really be handing out another $100,000,000+ multi year contract to a 30+ year old position player? I love Semien, but they will hamstring themselves if they keep doing that.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Yep you bet, and I am in favor of giving that a try if that's what they decide to do.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Maybe not, but it makes complete sense. The Marlins have a surplus of good young starting pitchers and have expressed interest in acquiring a catcher. The Jays just so happen to have a surplus of good young catchers.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    I'm all for it, but it doesn't seem like the Jays are doing it. Besides, trading Kirk for a controllable young starting pitcher wouldn't be the worst thing. Especially with Jansen turning things around, and Moreno on the cusp.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    I predict the Jays will trade Kirk for a young Marlin starter this off season. Going to guess Lopez, and the Jays add a bit to get it done. Start the season with Jansen/Mcguire until Moreno gets some AAA under his belt. I also predict they will agree to a long term extension with Berrios and it will be a touch higher than you might expect, in order to keep him from waiting a year to test free agency.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    lol Gurriel getting thrown out on the base paths down by 4 runs in the 8th
