    What the f***? The Jays competitive window is a hell of a lot longer than that. The only way it won't be is if they pay those guys huge contracts and then those guys start sucking. They've got a great young core, and a top 10 farm system.
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    So, better than a broken down Brad Hand?
  3. Eat My Shatkins
    Yep. Jays will have to move a catcher this off season you would think, if they plan on keeping Moreno there. I also wonder Mcguire would make it through waivers again. I kind of doubt it.
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    Awesome. Man I wish Moreno was a 3B. The timing would be perfect for him to come up next season and go all Bo Bichette on MLB.
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    I sort of lean this way too. I don't think Semien will be back, just my opinion. So do the Jays roll with Espinal/Smith at 3rd base and Biggio/Lopez at 2nd base and wait for Moreno/Martinez and Groshans to arrive? Meanwhile pour the FA dollars into pitching for now? Not a bad idea I don't think. They will score lots of runs even without Semien, but they need to add 2 or 3 quality starting pitchers and 2 or 3 solid high leverage relievers. Of course, they could go with a cheaper 3B addition also. Don't have to break the bank for Ramirez.
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    That's a very good question for sure. That would be my biggest worry, keeping Ramirez more than two years may not be possible, and if it is its going to cost you a lot of money and you may have to let another core piece walk as a result. We have some of those worries right now with Berrios.

    Orelvis Martinez, Alejandro Kirk, Nate Pearson for Jose Ramirez Who says no?
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    AA is lucky the rest of his division is a f***ing steaming pile of monkey s***, or else he wouldn't have even sniffed the playoffs this year, never mind going to the world series.
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    You definitely give Matz the QO. It's a no brainer in my opinion. Worst case scenario would be you get Matz for 1 more year at $18 million. While he's not worth that much for one year, it's only one year and as of right now the Jays are thin on starting pitching. I'd rather the Jays risk paying him $6-8 million more than he's worth for one year than risk losing him with no compensation pick awarded.

    If the Jays are going to go after Ramirez this off season, might as well swing for the fences and try to get Bieber too. If Cleveland deals Ramirez, they might as well go into a full on rebuild. It would gut the farm system, but you'd have a few years to replenish it while being a massive threat for multiple world series titles. C - Kirk / Jansen 1B - Vladdy 2B - Biggio 3B - Ramirez SS - Bo LF - Gurriel CF - Springer RF - Teo DH - FA (Schwarber?) B - Espinal B - Kirk / Jansen B - Grichuk B - Valera / Lopez ------ SP - Bieber SP - Berrios SP - Ryu SP - Manoah SP - Stripling / Hatch / FA (Syndergaard, Gray, Matz?) CL - Romano SU - FA (Iglesias, McHugh?) SU - FA (Neris, Givens?) RP - Mayza RP - Cimber RP - Richards RP - Merryweather RP - Borucki

    Steven Matz 1 x $18M (QO) Jon Gray 1 x $15M Noah Syndergaard 1 x $25M Berrios Gray Syndergaard Ryu Manoah Matz Pearson Stripling Pretty deep starting pitching and no long term big money commitments. (Except Berrios who I hope they extend this off season)
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    You're talking about tipping 5% like it doesn't make you a cheap ass motherf***er.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    I can't wait to watch this off season play out. I believe that even without any signings or trades they already have a solid team. But, they obviously won't stand pat. They will be in on so many things and they have payroll room to make big signings, they also have prospect capital to make big trades. There are several different ways they can try to go.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    Good point. Let's hope it happens. That'd be a game changer.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Jose Ramirez would fit this roster so perfectly. 3rd base, switch hitter, high OBP, high OPS.... Just don't see any way Cleveland moves him without a massive, massive overpay considering his contract. And then, even if they do they likely find an NL team to send him to instead of potential wild card competition.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    In no way did I want to see the Jays trade Kirk, but then Jansen had a nice turnaround. He may be alright after all. Like I proposed earlier in this thread, I could see them packaging Kirk with Pearson for a good starting pitcher with some control. It'd be a way to fast forward Pearson's development. I suggested German Marquez. Do that, then also land a good FA pitcher and the rotation would be a juggernaut for many years. Especially with a Berrios extension. Berrios *Marquez* (example) *Stroman* (example) Ryu Manoah
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Who's better, Berrios or Marquez? Which set of prospects is better, Martin/SWR or Kirk/Pearson? Of course I guess you have to consider that Marquez contract right now is way better than Berrios contract was when the Jays acquired him, because of term.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Hmmm, not an "ace" so to speak, but very good and belongs at or near the top of a rotation. Pretty much a lock for 3-5 WAR.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    Thank you. I see Marquez as a premium starting pitcher and he's on a pretty sweet deal for 3 more seasons. You try to sign a pitcher in free agency of that quality it's going to cost 20-25 million per year for probably way too many years. Get a pitcher like that and you can afford to let go of Pearson, and as everyone knows catcher is a position of great depth so you can afford to let Kirk go as well.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    Marquez has 17 career WAR at 26 years old, Matz has 9 career WAR at 30 years old. Plus Marquez has 3 more years of control on a contract with team friendly options. And yes to the poster that asked, including Grichuk as a salary dump was part of the deal and why I gave up as much as I gave up in the proposal.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Grichuk, Kirk and Pearson for German Marquez Too much? Too little? Jays could roll with Jansen/Mcguire until Moreno is ready for a call up.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Rasiel Iglesias / 2.8 WAR / 13.2 K/9 Hector Neris / 1.2 WAR / 11.4 K/9 Yimi Garcia / 0.5 WAR / 9.4 K/9 Mychal Givens / 1.5 WAR / 9.5 K/9 Collin Mchugh / 1.9 WAR / 10.9 K/9 Kendall Graveman / 2.1 WAR / 9.8 K/9 Ryan Tepera / 1.8 WAR / 10.9 K/9 Just a few of the intriguing relievers on the FA market this off season. Hopefully leave some payroll room to pick up a couple of these types.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Well they were 4 games above .500 and 5 games out of a wild card spot this year and still bought, so definitely more than that to be sellers I guess. If they're more than 5 games out of a wild card by the deadline next season they will have had to have had a terrible off season and/or a crap ton of things go wrong during the season. Hopefully we don't have to find out the answer to your question
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    Lol. Well yeah, the reason they gave up those prospects to get him was because he's a good pitcher. Both go hand in hand. Still young, talented and durable. They've got to get him signed this off season.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    Hopefully they don't have to find out because they get him signed to a long term extension this off season. Have to pay the man when you give up two high end prospects to get him.
