    Win!

    Caminero didn't make the opening day roster I see.

    Meh, sucks that Zulu hasn't figured out how to command his stuff but oh well. The Jays lost Merryweather last year and he's way better then Zulu, still had one of the better pens league wide. And this year they have more solid relief arms toiling in the upper minors.

    I kind of get a kick out of the crowd wanting to run Atkins out of town. I get it, frustrated cause there are zero playoff wins. But he's the guy that built a team deep enough to still make the playoffs despite hugely disappointing performances from their stars last season. Vlad 1.0 fWAR, Kirk 1.6 fWAR, Manoah -0.4 fWAR, Springer 2.1 fWAR, Varsho 2.2 fWAR even Bo was only 3.6 fWAR, which was pathetic for him. All of those are below what's expected, some of them WAY below. Still won 89 games.

    They are available for PTA meetings and Bocce ball.

    Time will tell what our prospect pool is or whether or not it will yield anything at the MLB level. Just three years ago it was touted as top 5 and had as many as 7 prospects in the top 100. The Jays traded most of them away and they've all fizzled out and done nothing. I think Kirk is the only one still here and making an impact. Pearson is another but he's had next to no impact so far. Meanwhile a guy like Bowden Francis is about to start the season in the rotation. As for Atkins, I doubt he's in as much danger as people like to think. I guess we'll find out if this team flops and misses the playoffs or fails to win a playoff game again.

    Available for what? Lol

    When I looked at the Jays depth chart early in the off season, I did not have Wes Parsons on my bingo card as a potential starter/long man at the MLB level. I saw him as one of the first options for DFAing to clear a spot on the 40 man. 31 year old journeyman and the Jays are squeezing blood from stone here. Impressive. Combine that with Francis being resurrected from looking near finished two years ago to actually being a solid reliever to now winning a rotation spot, to Robbie Ray going from the scrap heap to Cy Young winner, to Stripling going from mid reliever to solid starter for the Jays, they made something out of Matz as well who they pulled from the scrap pile.....the Kikuchi turn around, Jays seem to be able to get the most out of mid pitchers.

    Joey Votto has a dead cat bounce, puts up 135 wRC+ in 400+ PA's and puts up close to 3 fWAR

    With Cooke, Danner and Juenger, the Jays look like they may have 3 pretty solid home grown high leverage relievers in the fold. Cooke and Juenger aren't on the 40 man yet but I suspect by seasons end they probably will be and all 3 of these guys will probably pitch some MLB innings, maybe sooner rather than later with some arms already hurting. Hopefully this is just the beginning of the pipeline opening up, it'll be nice not having to dish out too much money on relievers going forward because they keep developing them in house.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    Gotta be either Little or Zulu I would imagine. Or maybe even Pop. Can't see them DFAing Danner.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    I'd like to see Danner in MLB over Pop with Romano and Swanson on the IL. He had a decent spring and misses mote bats than Pop. And hopefully this is Pearson's coming out party as a legit high leverage reliever
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    High hopes for those two. Really need them to lead the next wave and it would sure be nice if they could hold their current positions up the middle of the diamond

    Henry is a 4th string catcher, he's going to have holes in his game somewhere lmao Way to much thought going into this If Kirk or Jansen end up being out long term they can find someone elsewhere via trade or waivers if Henry isn't picking up the slack. They snagged Serven off waivers a couple months ago
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Serven is not somebody you worry about replacing. Ever. Payton Henry can replace him easily enough if somebody claimed him.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    Y Rodriguez in on the IL with back spasms according to fangraphs
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    It'd be kind of hilarious if Ohtani were to get busted for gambling on baseball and Yamamoto couldn't hack it in MLB.
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    Or maybe Ohtani is a degenerate gambler and they are going to make this guy take the fall to protect their $700 million investment?
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    Good thing the Jays have lots of pitching depth. Going to test it right away with the #1 starter, closer and 8th inning setup guy possibly not being ready for opening day.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    Why in the f*** are we comparing Votto to Stanton exactly? Because they are both old? There is no comparison between the two. Votto is on a minor league deal for christ sakes. The Jays get ANYTHING from him it's just a bonus. The Yankees are paying Stanton $32 million this year and for three more years after this. He's a goddamn boat anchor. You're comparing apples to oranges acting like the Jays need or expect anything at all from Votto. They don't.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Well that's a handy trade.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Uhhh, is it just me or do we really believe the translator did it? Seems fishy anyways.

    Another win for Boras
