    I can picture Atkins in the lab, piecing together a 3B monstrosity using Barger's arm, IKF's glove, Orelvis' power, Escobar's experience, Parmesiani's youth.... 5-6 fWAR combined for sure from 3B in 2024

    Just because the Jays won't break the bank for players like Chapman and Bellinger doesn't mean they have a limited budget.

    Love this time of year! Spring is coming, baseball season is just around the corner, good times. So many intriguing arms to watch with the Jays through spring training. Manoah with less fat, will he bounce back? Mitch White trying to build off his really strong AAA finish last year. Tiedemann, one of the most intriguing SP prospects in all of baseball. Just signed Yariel, what's he gonna bring to the table? Can't wait to see how it all shakes out.

    That's a new lower low level of complaining about IKF that I never thought we'd sink to lol
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    What about White? Is he a mouth piece too? Either way, it's a stupid f***ing thing to hope for these players to fail if you're a Jays fan. Personally I hope Manoah, White, Tiedemann, Rodriguez and every other jays pitcher are f***ing lights out this season.

    I wonder what kind of offers Bellinger is even getting at this point. Jays have about $6 million left before they hit the next luxury threshold, and $26 million to the one after that. Something like 5/$150 would be very palatable right now for Bellinger. Pretty unlikely? Impossible?

    And the Jays still have Pop So this is what winning feels like EDIT: Does anyone remember who the PTBNL was in that deal? IIRC it was Bass, Pop, PTBNL for Groshans
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    Manoah

    There is upside to having a defender who can defend, especially when you are going to rely on defense and pitching to win enough games to make the post season unless some of the big bats come back to life in 2024

    IKF doesn't "blow" He's an elite infield defender, especially at 3B and the Jays can use his glove there after letting Chapman walk instead of giving him a bloated anchor contract. The Yankees are the dummies that decided to toss IKF into the OF last year which tanked his value. Of course, all the simpletons will whine about him all f***ing year because he isn't hitting, while completely ignoring what he brings to the table

    That's why these prospect rankings are hard to take seriously. A few years ago the Jays system was ranked top 5 across the board because they had like 7 guys in the top 100. Kirk is the only one of those guys who has amounted to sweet f*** all and even he seems to be slipping because he's unable to control his gluttony. Groshans, SWR, Martin, Pearson, Kirk, Moreno, Orelivis.....I believe those were the guys in the top 100 in 2021?

    Is it an overreaction to say multiple times that the Jays should fire a 2+ fWAR player into the sun?
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    I get not being happy with the off season, and wanting better options than IKF and Turner brought in, but please tell me what the "better options" were exactly. You can't fault the Jays for not being able to conjure up better options out of thin air, and you certainly can't blame for not wanting to fork out massive contracts to players like Bellinger and Chapman who are clearly not worth what Boras is asking. After missing Ohtani (who they were clearly never going to land, it was always going to be the Dodgers) I think the Jays have done about as good as you could hope for in an off season where the options were extremely limited. They still have a competitive team with a f***ton of depth, and they aren't saddled with even a single long term albatross contract going forward. The whining is extremely tiresome, to be honest. Hopefully the Jays have a good year or this place will be hard to visit because the "I told you so" brigade will be out in full force.

    Maybe we get both Turner and Soler
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Jordan Powell

    I had completely forgotten that German was the guy booted for having sticky fingers lol
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Agreed. Besides Vladdy, this is one of the biggest wild cards the Jays have going into the season. If they get a couple "Babe Schneider" type breakouts it will really go a long ways to breaking 90 wins. Even if these players can't sustain it long term (Schneider may not) it'll keep the team afloat for another season with the pitching and defense they have.

    German would be some nice pitching depth for sure. I mean, I'd instantly pencil him in as the Jays #5 prior to spring training. Would be a solid insurance policy against injuries and/or any other starters completely s***ing the bed ala Kikuchi/Berrios in 2022 or Manoah in 2023.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    You should really make another 5 or 6 posts about it because the first 5 or 6 weren't enough.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    That's what Chapman did last year, signing with the Royals and ended up winning the WS with Texas.
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    If the Jays were to sign Bellinger I would expect him to play the bulk of his time at 1B with Vlad being the primary DH.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Richards is probably the reliever I'm most concerned about. He's not a fireballer so he has to be pretty much perfect to not get his ass handed to him, when he's on though the swing and miss is top notch.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    Abreu, Pressly, Hader Dayum
  25. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah for sure. I do love that idea of an on paper lights out back end of the bullpen. Always feel like you just have to get to the the inning wit the lead and the game is yours.
