    Teo had a 105 wRC+ last year but the Jays should have outbid the Dodgers for him because there was never any doubt he'd bounce back in the middle of a stacked Dodgers line up. I mean it was all but guaranteed now that we can see it happening in real time. Haha yup
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    Jays should have waited until June to see which of the s***** FA bats that were available were going to be good in 2024 and then went back in time to sign them. Haha yup
  3. Eat My Shatkins
    They should have signed Soler Haha yup
  4. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, Macko has been shoving in AA
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    The more damning an concerning problem is Bo 0.3 fWAR, Springer 0.3 fWAR and also Vladdy 1.2 fWAR
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, I'm not surprised by the difference in those players values, just pointing out that they aren't some deep team loaded with superstars, they are an average team that is propped up by two superstars that are healthy and having superstar seasons. I am surprised that their pitching has been this good without Cole though.
  7. Eat My Shatkins
    The Yankees are basically the Jays but their two superstars are actually superstars and their bullpen hasn't been destroyed by injuries and underperformance. Soto & Judge 10 fWAR / Rest of position players ~7 fWAR Vlad & Bo 1.6 fWAR / Rest of position players ~7 fWAR SP War NYY 5.3 (11th) SP War Jays 5.1 (12th) RP War NYY 1.5 (15th) RP War Jays -1.5 (30th) And their payroll is $62 million higher as well.

    I wonder if that one poster still thinks we should "fire Varsho into the sun"?? Jonn IIRC
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    Varsho with more WAR than Gurriel and Moreno combined for 1/5th the cost Plus our catchers are both positive WAR and combined have triple the WAR value of Moreno so it's not like he left a gaping hole in the line up
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    Honestly, the best and cheapest addition to the team at this point would be Bo pulling a rabbit out of his hat like he did in 2022. He had a 106 wRC+ at the end of June that year, the rest of the season he put up 152 wRC+
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    It was a surprise for sure. We were all expecting Varsho to be the full time CFer and for the Jays to bring in another corner OFer with a big bat. They clearly misjudged the market and jumped the gun on KK. Still no guarantee they end up with Teo though if they had waited.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    Outbidding the Dodgers at that point of the off season would have given the Jays four full time OFers and put them into the next tier of luxury tax penalties. And also at that point they wouldn't have expected Springer to have an 80wRC+ and a .600 OPS in June, and they wouldn't have any guarantee that Teo would be hitting like this. He was nearly as bad as Springer was last season. Everybody just loves to climb on the hindsight band wagon.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    Teo is turning into this year's Gurriel and Moreno. Everytime he does something good we get to hear about how the Jays missed out. This assumes two things: 1. That the Jays could have signed him at all 2. That he'd be doing the same thing in Jays uniform
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    vs. the A's in two games Jays starters, 210 pitches, 1 run given up Jays bullpen, 1 pitch, 1 run given up
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    1 pitch from the bullpen in this series so far haha
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    Hell of a start
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    lmao
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Would be nice to keep the BP fresh with I assume Francis starting tomorrow?
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    I like all the XBH's today
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    You worry way too much about other posters on this board and trying to dunk on them over s*** they didn't even say and/or don't even believe and/or don't even do.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Yes it's possible, I mean now that we can hand pick the off season free agent bats that are performing of course it would have improved the offense (but not fixed it), but remember many people wanted them to get a guy like Soler too who has not performed, which is why no one is using him as an example for improvement right now, and a month ago nobody was complaining about the Turner signing either. And yeah, the offense is probably better and maybe we win that game last night, but maybe we lose a game earlier in the season because IKF isn't here to make a key play at 3rd or maybe Teo boots a play in LF because Varsho isn't out there because he's in CF instead of KK? This is why I used fWAR as my example earlier when comparing IKF/Turner/Vogelbach/KK vs. Teo/JDM and let's not forget I'm using hindsight to hand pick Teo and JDM here as successful examples of off season free agent bats when it could have just as easily been one that has fallen flat.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Hopefully some of these bullpen guys can get healthy and perform so at the very least they can be dealt to clear salary and bring in some lottery ticket prospects. If the bullpen is going to lay fat turds all season long we might as well thrust some of the younger cheaper guys into more prominant roles to see if they can excel and also bring up some of the younger cheaper arms from AAA and AA. Let's see Pearson closing, let's see some of Cooke, Danner, Fluharty, Juenger, Pardinho, Burnette.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Haha yeah it kind of is. I don't know if they expected Kirk and Springer to bounce back or were just hoping. But I doubt they expected them to get worse, bring Bo both them and also have Turner fall apart in the 2nd month of the season.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, if the Jays sign JDM and Teo instead of all those other guys this offense would be "fixed" for sure. We'd be right up there with the Orioles for the 1st wild card.
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    I've said so many times I can't count, that: 1. If the core bats didn't come around we were screwed 2. Other than ohtani or Soto none of the other crap available was going to fix this mess unless #1 happened 3. Atkins is responsible for this baseball teams results, good or bad
