    Paxton and Rosenthal please.
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    If the Jays were to sign Paxton, we'd have 4 lefties in the rotation. (L) Ryu (L) Paxton ® Pearson (L) Ray (L) Matz On a different subject, does anyone think they'll run a 6 man rotation this season to spread the innings around, considering nobody pitched a starters work load in 2020? (L) Ryu ® Pearson (L) Ray ® Stripling (L) Matz ® Roark

    They're just tossing mud against the wall to see what sticks. If they want Kay starting in AAA, and Ray starting in the show, then Borucki is the only left handed reliever on the 40 man. Hopefully at least one of Mayza or Liriano show they are good enough to warrant a spot so they can have some high leverage left handed options out of the pen. Too bad they couldn't get Hand to sign.
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    Come on Atkins. Inject that s*** directly into my veins. I am ready.
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    I agree. If they kept him in the pen and signed Rosenthal, there would be a s*** ton of opposition strike outs from the 6th inning on with that group of relievers. Only thing missing is a proven stud lefty, but hopefully Borucki can turn into that, and/or maybe even Mayza will come back strong from his TJS.
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Man, I hope they can get Rosenthal inked to a deal. Great career K and BB rates, and over 130 saves. It'd be nice to have 2-3 options to close games in case of injury, and if every one actually stays relatively healthy then you have a lights out high leverage bullpen. Plus then you shouldn't have to worry about Montoyo trotting your closer out there 3 games in a row or until the poor bastards arm falls off. Yates Rosenthal Romano Dolis Borucki Pretty solid group right there to anchor the BP.
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    I can see Vladdy, Tellez and Hernandez all getting a lot of AB's as DH this season with the roster as it stands. Plus Gurriel, Jansen, Kirk, Springer and Semien might get some AB's as DH as well. I don't see how Atkins could possibly be in the market for a DH bat right now.

    Can't be giving up much for one year of this guy I hope.

    Ryu Ray Pearson Stripling Roark Loving the position players, but I'm looking forward to Atkins fixing that abortion of a rotation here right quick.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    1. Springer 2. Biggio 3. Bichette 4. Hernandez 5. Semien 6. Gurriel 7. Vladdy 8. Tellez / Grichuk 9. Jansen / Kirk Now go get Bauer, or one of Paxton/Odirizzi and let's this season started.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    lol this is f***ing awesome. Add Springer, added Semien at a bargain with no long term risk and we still have our awesome prospect base still in tact? What Jays fan could possibly be disappointed at this point?
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    The more I think about it, I'd rather see the Jays go after both Tanaka and Paxton instead of Bauer. Probably get both of those two for about what? $25-30 million combined on likely 1 year deals? And they are projected for about 5 WAR combined. With Bauer you're probably looking at the same cost but on a multi year deal and he's projected for about 3.8 WAR. Seems like better bang for the buck if you can get the two ex Yankees while maintaining roster and payroll flexibility. Ryu Paxton Tanaka Pearson 5th spot goes to the best performing out of Ray, Stripling, Roark, Merryweather, Kay, Hatch, Thornton, etc
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah the quick math in head said roughly $180,000,000. I doubt it happens. Maybe $170,000,000 if they couldn't sign Bauer but signed Paxton instead. I don't think they'll bring in 2 more high quality starters though. If they were to trade for Hendricks I doubt they sign another top end free agent starter.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    Trade for Bryant and Hendricks Sign Bauer Sign Hand 1. - RF - Springer 2. - SS - Bichette 3. - 3B - Bryant 4. - DH - Hernandez 5. - LF - Gurriel 6. - 1B - Vladdy 7. - RF - Grichuk 8. - C - Jansen 9. - 2B - Biggio B - 1B - Tellez B - IF - Espinal B - OF - Fisher B - C - Kirk SP - Bauer SP - Ryu SP - Hendricks SP - Pearson SP - Ray RP - Yates RP - Hand RP - Romano RP - Dolis RP - Chatwood RP - Borucki RP - Stripling RP - Merryweather
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Well that's all she wrote for the Osuna trade then, depending on if they actually take PTBNL from the Reds or not.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Sign Brantley and then put a package together for Bryant and Hendricks using Gurriel, Tellez and/or a catcher. SS Bichette 2B Biggio CF Springer LF Brantley DH Teoscar 3B Bryant 1B Vladdy RF Grichuk C Jansen/Kirk - whichever guy you keep Ryu Hendricks Pearson Ray Stripling
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    Awesome. Jays aren't f***ing around apparently. Now get Bauer, Rosenthal and Wong.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    f***ing godamn f***ing Yankees.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    1. Ryu 2. Stripling 3. Pearson 4. Ray 5. Roark 6. Kay (stretching out?) 7. Hatch (stretching out?) 8. Merryweather (stretching out?) 9. Zeuch 10. Murray 11. Manoah 12. Woods-Richardson Staying as relievers? -> Borucki, Yamaguchi, Murphy, Reid-Foley, Perez I think that's who Atkins stated they were planning to stretch out and who they weren't. Definitely would like to see a potential top half of the rotation starter added, to push the rest down a notch. Bauer is the most obvious choice. They could also go the trade route, maybe Lance Lynn? I'd still also like to see a reclamation project type guy signed with big potential to be a dark horse. Kluber or Archer for example, but I'm thinking Ray might be that guy now.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Trade for Lindor, extend him. Sign Bauer Sign Kluber or Archer as a reclamation project Sign JBJ That'd be a pretty sweet off season. 3B - Biggio 2B - Bichette SS - Lindor DH - Hernandez LF - Gurriel 1B - Vladdy RF - Grichuk CF - JBJ C - Jansen / Kirk I don't know where you fit Tellez in here. Trade bait? Comes off the bench? Depth? SP - Ryu SP - Bauer SP - Pearson SP - Kluber/Archer SP - Stripling Roark, Merryweather, Hatch, Kay, Zeuch..... CP - Romano RP - Dolis RP - Cole RP - Borucki RP - Yamaguchi Maybe you throw a little money into the pen as well by signing a big name high leverage arm. Not sure if you want to just hand the closer role to Romano out right. Jays FO seems pretty good at finding some nice relief arms from the bargain bin too.

    Here's the quote.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    Imagine adding Hendriks (13.1 K/9 - 0.671 WHIP) and Rosenthal (14.5 K/9 - 0.845 WHIP) to the bullpen with Romano and Dolis. There would be a lot of bats missed.
