  1. The allure of having a big name closer, but $19 million per year for 0.9 projected fWAR and a career high of 2.6 fWAR? Probably better ways to utilize that money if we're being honest.
  2. I remember in 2021 the jays had 7 top 100 prospects and most of them haven't done anything in MLB except get the jays MLB players from other teams in trades. Pearson, Martin, SWR, Groshans, Orelvis, Kirk and Moreno.
  3. Every time the Padres come up my brain goes into massive surprise blockbuster mode because they have so many "good" players who's values are tanked because of the terrible contracts they gave them, and they are supposedly cutting payroll. In comes big bad Ross AlphAtkins and his massive swinging dick to throw Rogers weight around and rape and pillage those poor bastards and somehow walk away with Tatis in his back pocket.
  4. Yeah I had last years team winning 95 games or more UT did not expect the tubby trio Vlad, Kirk, Manoah to crap the bed like that. Springer too I guess to a degree and even Varsho. Last year's team ended being a large group of 1 to 3 fWAR earners with no big stars pushing it over the top.
  5. Lucky for Whit varsho was here sucking up all the hate from the simpleton fans who loved to gobble Whits knob
  6. I think the Jays believe they have top 5 starting pitching and a top 5 bullpen, to go along with very high end defense. They actually have a legit shot at giving up the fewest runs in baseball next season I would think. To go with that they have likely a middle of the pack offense at worst, and with 2-3 or bounce back seasons from regulars maybe a top 10 offense or so?
  7. They gotta keep Soler off the field though. Just DH and hit the cover off the ball big boy
  8. Well, Manoah can start in the preseason and see where it goes from there. If he's showing signs of being better I have no problem with him starting as the #5, but if his velo is down still, he's out of shape, and getting torched then yeah he should start in AAA
  9. Jays have about $18 million before they hit the next luxury tax level. Give (most of) it to Soler and call it an off season? Unless some sort of bargain trade materializes later on.
  10. lol there is no f***ing way the Jays wouldn't trade Moreno for JRam but then turn around and deal him for Varsho If Ramirez was on the table it would have been for a lot more than just Moreno However, hopefully it wasn't Ramirez for a package of Manoah, Moreno, Gurriel or something like that. Manoah would have had way more value back then but now it would look like a total steal for the Jays. If that was ever on the table I don't even want to know about it.
  11. Yeah, exciting to add an arm with a potentially high ceiling like this to an already solid stable of arms. Can't wait to see what they Jays do with him. Does he start or relieve to begin? Will he be in AAA or MLB to begin? They'll need to take it easy with him for sure with no innings last year. Just don't get fricken injured in ST FFS
  12. Probably should have made a new thread for a move this big, but decided not to. This should calm the whiners down for a bit lol
  13. Manoah was also one of the slowest SP's in the league in 2022, taking a ton of time between pitches. No doubt the pitch clock messed him up and I doubt it helped that he was a big fat out of shape guy.
  14. High hopes for Bonilla and Nimmala. Hopefully future cornerstone players at CF and SS
  15. Yeah I see now, they were saying Nimmala is like Orelvis except Nimmala will likely stick at SS
  16. I think Laika was talking about Nimmala Nimmala is 18 years old and played all 9 games in the CPX at SS last year Who are you talking about? EDIT: You're talking about Orelvis I think.
  17. Yeah, Adames was the first guy that popped into my head as well. The 2nd is Bogaerts, assuming the Padres might trade him to save money.
  18. I sure hope they don't walk Bo to free agency. If he doesn't come around on an extension I would hope they trade him next off season.
  19. Baseball FA is such a slog lol Is that Yariel Rodriguez ever going to make a f***ing decision. It'd be nice to add another swing man type arm with some electricity in it, to the fold.
  20. ^^^^^What is this horseshit? Stop spamming the board with f***ing dumb ideas
  21. Maybe the stride/stance was the flaw identified by Mattingly last season that Vlad refused to fix at the time?
  22. You have to wonder where Lantigua will fit into all of this. Last year the guy played 10 games at 2B, 34 games at 3B, 24 games at SS, 39 games in LF, 14 games in RF, 5 games in CF and 9 games at DH all while putting up 130 wRC+ in AAA Or maybe by mid-season Palmegiani will be on the 40 man and splitting time at 3B with IKF
  23. 1. Looks like Vlad has had the most success hitting out of the DH spot of all Jays hitters 2. He's terrible at 1B Kind of makes sense no?
  24. Maybe they should use Vlad as the primary DH and have someone else play 1B most of the time?
