    What if Bellinger sucks? Would it still be a good off season? I'm sure you'd be one of the first to be looking to hang Atkins for signing him to a $200 million contract if he ends up as a 2-3 WAR player going forward.
  2. Eat My Shatkins
    WTF? They've been in on every big name out there so far. You can lead a horse to water, you can't make the f***er drink.
  3. Eat My Shatkins
    Yeah, the general fan base would flip out for sure lol

    Gimme: Brantley 1 x 10 Martinez 1 x 12 Urshela 1 x 8 Montas 1 x 8 Hicks 3 x 9

    Looking at Profar on fangraphs, he's really got this good year/bad year thing going on, and last year was a bad year. Might be a decent training camp invite on MiLB deal? -2.0 fWAR last year, probably not getting an MLB deal?
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Haha, I'm the same. I keep telling myself what he was last year is what we need, and what he'll be going forward. I also tell myself that his down years were more a reflection of his shoulder injury and COVID than him being a phony. Jays seem to be after him, hopefully they know what the EFF they're doing.

    Zips has the Jays projected for what..86 wins right now? Probably still going to add a LF, 3B and DH. Chapman, Bellinger and Martinez would add about 7 wins to the projections
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    No kidding, and how much would you really get for him anyways? The only way I'd trade Romano right now is if I was able to sign Hader first.
  9. Eat My Shatkins
    I agree. It annoys me to no end that they are going to play a perfectly fine 3B in LF because they already have short stops playing at SS, 3B and 2B. And then they go and sign Candelario to play 1B lol
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    Under. Definitely under. So far he's averaged 96 IP per season over 5 MLB seasons, and those were his prime aged 25-30 years. No way he averages higher than that from ages 30-40, especially since the first season will be 0 IP.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    lol Bellinger and Chapman are the top two position player FA's left on the board and will cost more that $350 million probably. Plus adding a DH. You'll be lucky to get that, never mind more.
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    Enjoy LA or New York Sasaki
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    DH - JD Martinez / Hoskins / Belt (sign 1 of these) 1B - Vlad 2B - Biggio / Schneider 3B - Chapman SS - Bo LF - Bellinger CF - Varsho LF - Springer C - Kirk / Jansen Espinal, Lukes also on the bench

    I've given up on the hope of Yamamoto. With the Yanks and Mets going all out for him I have no faith in the Jays sneaking in there. Best option on paper I guess would be to go all in on Belly and Chappy but I can see that turning into a disaster. However, with the pitching staff we have it might work out alright. Especially if we get any bounce back from Vladdy, Kirk and Springer. Just riddle the diamond with 2-4 fWAR players and have a top 5 pitching staff.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    How worried are we about the D if we lose KK and Chappy, and how much will that drag the pitching down? Hard to say I guess, but it's definitely a concern in my eyes.
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    Would be scary as hell haha
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Assuming the Jays can't snag Yamamoto, are we content going into the season with: 1. Gausman 2. Berrios 3. Bassitt 4. Kikuchi 5. Manoah 6. Tiedemann 7. White As the starting pitching depth? I mean, the top 4 were all good to great last year, and have a track record of durability. #5 is one season removed from Cy Young contention #6 is one of the top 2 or 3 starting pitching prospects in all of MiLB #7 appeared to figure his s*** out late last season in AAA and was demolishing batters It's not bad depth really.

    Josh Donaldson is 38 years old and had 0 fWAR last season. wRC+ of 78. He's cooked. I don't understand this obsession with him at all. Just be glad he hit his steep decline as soon as he became a Yankee.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    I wonder how badly the Guardians will want to cut payroll? Currently sitting an an estimated $132,000,000 luxury tax payroll. Probably stupid to even hope for this on any level, but if the Jays could somehow pry Ramirez out of there that would be super dooper.
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    They're not going to rebuild when they've got one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. I can see them retooling next off season by trading Bo and Vlad with 1 year of control left.
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    The Jays had the 5th best pitching staff by fWAR in MLB last season, and didn't lose anyone from it but Ryu and Hicks who were both late season additions anyways. If you've got pitching, you've got a chance. Oh, and the off season is far from over lol
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Getting in shape won't keep Vlad and his peanut brain from getting picked off 2nd base (when he's not even the lead runner) to end the season lol
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    That's great and all, and yeah hopefully they have a resurgence...it will lead to the team being good (which is the most important thing to me as a Jays fan) but it will also increase their collective trade values so they can hopefully be traded. IMO it will end up a huge mistake to try and build your team around players who struggle this hard to find the dedication to stay in any semblance of shape even bbefore they have cashed in on big contracts. If they can't do it now, what is going to happen when they all have huge contracts? They will probably balloon up for good.

    I just read that Robert Herjavec is also affiliated with CAA. The same agency that represents Ohtani. Haha Call me crazy but it sure seems like that whole fiasco on Friday was stirred up by Ohtani's reps to get the Dodgers to throw another huge offer in. Quite the coincidence that they'd send the guy from Anaheim to Toronto on a plane that Ohtani flies on, and of course it "somehow" gets out there that Ohtani is the one on the plane, and of course some Dodgers media people get fed info that Ohtani has chosen the jays at the same time that a jet Ohtani usually flies on is going from Anaheim to Toronto. And then just like that, the next day Ohtani signs for $700 million with the Dodgers. lol https://www.caa.com/caaspeakers/robert-herjavec
