    Randy Johnson with a 9.6 fWAR season at 40 years old. Unreal
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    Speaking of intriguing pitching prospects, I wonder how high up in the system Johnny King will make it this year? Rocking almost 16K/9 through his 1st 30 innings at CPX and Low A.
  3. Eat My Shatkins
    DeGrom is such a swing for the fences type of move. If he's available i say go for it. Probably should go get a couple high leverage relievers too if guys like Garcia, Burr and Sandlin are just going to keep getting hurt every time they return.
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    Good, Bassitt looked poised to go 8, it'd be a real piss off to have eat 3 innings with relievers now because of a fricken rain delay.
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    Have they played enough of this game to chalk er up as a win if they can't get going again?
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Yep we would be frightening if Vlad was a $500 million superstar. I just don't think he's got the brain power to sustain any swing adjustments that would lead to that being a reality. So we'll probably just have to take the mostly 130 wRC+ bat with poor D at 1B and poor baserunning and hope for the odd stretch like last season where he caught fire and was 180 wRC+ for about 3-4 months. Hopefully this year's hot streak starts soon and lasts until the Jays are crowned WS champs.

    Crazy how badly we all wanted the Jays to sign a big OF bat and got Santander and now with George having a resurgence while Taters is on the IL it turns out we really would have been better off not signing him. Now the Jays have a log jam in the OF and for the DH spot if/when they get healthy. Good problem to have though. Better than the problems they had to deal with in 2023 and 2024.

    I'd take 3-3 and be happy honestly. Especially since it's on the road and they have sucked on the road. Just don't want to see them fall on their faces with a negative record against the two worst teams in the AL after all the work they've done to not only get into 1st, but build a slight cushion.
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    Aw man, now I want DeGrom on the Jays. I wouldn't think in a million years he'd accept a trade to TO, but didn't think about the Scherzer connection.
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    With Burr back, Green looking better as of late and Yimi only nursing a sprained ankle the bullpen seems pretty legit from top to bottom and they still have some legit looking options in AAA with Fluharty, Bruihl and Estrada. If the Jays were to bring a high leverage reliever, who gets the boot? 1. Hoffman 2. Rodriguez 3. Garcia 4. Little 5. Fischer 6. Burr 7. Sandlin 8. Green
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    The last two years were just a big fat pile of "what CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong" This year has been refreshing so far. Imagine how much further ahead they'd be if Vlad and Bo were actual superstars and not just lumped in with the rest of the 2-ish WAR players that riddle this roster.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    Wasn't it Robbie Ray who biffed it down some stairs in his house during pre-season in his Cy Young year?
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    If anything it feels like they have more left in the tank. The starters have been decent, but far from great. Especially Gausman. Vlad has been OK but he could easily go on a tear the way he does sometimes. Santander is -0.9 fWAR and injured. He could come back a start smashing bombs. Varsho hasn't even factored in yet. Plus, the TDL will see some additions without a doubt.
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    Jays are in a weird spot with the rotation because as it stands they have 5 'good' performing starters but at the same time they have 0 'elite' starters. And at the same time it feels like one or two wheels could fall off any minute now between Lauers track record or Scherzers thumb. If you add another back of the rotation starter does it really move the needle? Well, if a wheel falls off then sure it does, but what if the wheels stay right where they are? Seems like they should add a #1 somehow, and if they cant then just stand pat with the rotation and add a high leverage reliever or two.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    I'd like to see Milner added to the pen. Texas should be selling and with Fluharty struggling and sent down the Jays could use another lefty in the pen. I'd also be interested in Bird from the Rockies as a late inning setup up reliever.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    I wonder if there is any chance the Nats would trade Gore?
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Oh wow, that's promising. Hopefully just rusty with the control and new found velocity. A lefty with 99 in the arsenal is nice. He can work on control hopefully.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Barrierra looks like he's really struggling in the CPX. But yeah, tons of talent there to work with. Good thing because the Jays rotation is old and fading.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    Perfect. So he'll be a Yankee or a Dodger sooner rather than later.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    Jays have traded RP Colby Martin to the Marlins for SP Robinson Pina. Pina has a 3.47 ERA in 13 AAA appearances this season. Starting pitching depth is good.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    We have three starting pitchers in the top 20 for fWAR in the AL. We don't have an Ace, if that's what you meant.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Whats so flawed about it? There is potential reinforcements coming and time to evaluate if they add enough to properly compete. If not, they can then look to patch holes with trades. Losing a home series to the White Sox sucks, but we're still in a wild card spot in late June with some key pieces out and time to bolster the line up.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Need to add a decent SP #4 (Scherzer) Need to add a decent SP #5 (Manoah) Need to add a high leverage RP (Yimi) Need to add a power bat (Santander) Could use an everyday CF (Varsho)
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    Kind of hard not to get a bit excited for the Jays summer potential. Scherzer looks like he's ready to replace an ineffective Francis, Bauer and Turnbull don't look entirely useless as potential #5's and at some point Manoah will be in the mix too. Not to mention the Jays have plenty of prospect capital to go shopping via trade. The bullpen looks amazing and they still have Yimi and Sandlin left to add. And again, lots of prospect capital to potentially add. The schedule theoretically lightens up here for a bit, and they've done quite well against one of the tougher stretches of games. The bats...we still haven't seen Tony Taters get going yet, Varsho has missed most of the year so far and only makes the roster better with his addition at some point and second half Vlad seems to be waking up. And the D is just pure studliness personified. It's the most optimistic I've been going into a summer for a few years now.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    Imagine if Santander comes back and is Tony Taters again, and Vlad goes on a 2nd half heater like last year.
