  1. Absolutely agree. We want Ohtani pitching at a high level in 2025 and beyond if he's a Jay. No need to increase the risk by sticking him in the field, much less 1B when we have a multitude of guys to play that position.
  2. Fair. Especially with Anderson. Rosario doesn't project too much lower than Chapman though but for a lot less money and term
  3. lol I look forward to a time when I don't have to see off season pictures of the obese trio "getting in shape" anymore. Hopefully all traded in the next couple seasons so we don't have to watch them balloon up in their late 20's and early 30's because they can't control their eating habits and now have fat juicy contracts and financial security locked in.
  4. I wonder if the Jays could get guys like Rosario or Anderson to come to TO and play 3B on a 1 year deal to try and rebuild value? Just point at Semien and say "worked for Marcus" Although he played 2B for us, but still.
  5. It's still a pretty good roster. Top 5 pitching staff (on paper) is a great place to start. The holes at 3B and LF are amplified though without Ohtani's bat at DH
  6. Jays24 and the hyperbole In every single post, it's hilarious
  7. He had an 85 wRC+ bat last season Not nearly as abysmal as you like to exaggerate it He projects well too
  8. He has a career 96 wRC+ Basically a league average bat
  9. History shows that Varsho has been a league average bat. Why do you have to make things up all the time?
  10. I'd hate to trade Manoah right now after that s*** season. If he bounces back you'd get a f***ing massive return next off season. Of course, there is a risk that he'd tank his value completely. Hopefully the FO has a good idea if he can bounce back or not. Gausman Berrios Yamamoto Kikuchi Bassitt Hard for him to bounce back though, if he doesn't even have a rotation spot lol God I hope they get Yama
  11. The teams management isn't perfect, but 91, 92 and 89 win seasons, playoffs 3/4 seasons.....they certainly seem decently good with those results.
  12. Signing Yama and Ohtani would be nucking futs. Talk about an embarrassment of riches when it comes to pitching. Gausman Yama Berrios Bassitt Kikuchi Manoah Tiedemann Plus you have a legit ACE in Ohtani tucked away for the future
  13. Well it's a worst case really, and it's also just replacement level filler. The heavy lifting needs to be done mostly by others, all these guys need to do is not drag the team down. And you never know man, Schneider came up and had 2+ fWAR out of nowhere.
  14. Well, it would leave 3B, LF and 2B kind of question marks I guess?? But there would be Biggio, Espinal, Schneider, Barger, Orelvis, Lantigua, Lopez, Roden, Clement, Horwitz, Morris, Palmegiani, Jiminez to potentially fill out those spots. Some of that mud has to stick right?
  15. Supposedly the Jays have a "unicorn" budget from Rogers if they are able to land Ohtani. I really don't think they have much restrictions right now when it comes to going all in this off season. Let's hope they land some big fishies
  16. I don't know who's available, but if by some miracle the Jays sign Yama I would bet on Manoah + getting dealt for a solid bat from somewhere. It might happen whether they sign Yama or not.
  17. You can package Manoah up for a solid bat probably. They were just speculating that's what they were shopping for Soto, one of the best bats out there. The point is if you can add a potential ace like Yama, you do it and then find a way to use the excess pitching to upgrade the offense.
  18. Not too worried about getting a 4-5 WAR bat, not with what would arguably be the best pitching staff in baseball. Especially if the Jays do land Ohtani along with Yama
  19. Haha it sounds like it after I type all that, but it's really no trouble at all with a well seasoned pan. I use mine to cook bacon and eggs just about every morning and when I'm done it's cleaned and seasoned with oil in under a minute.
  20. lol you can trade pitching for hitting Upgrade your rotation with a guy like Yamamoto and then trade from the lower part of the rotation to get a solid bat It's a net positive
  21. If it's seasoned properly it should clean easily with hot water and a brush or rag. Don't use soap, the soap will be slightly absorbed by the porous pan and then you might taste soap in your food. If it needs a good scrubbing because something crusty got cooked onto it just use coarse salt and rub it around in the pan. Any cooked on grit should scrape right off and then re-season it with oil again.
  22. LOL and if we did get Ohtani and he replaced Kooch in the rotation for 2025 Potentially three aces with Gausman, Ohtani and Yamamoto and still no room for Tiedemann with a healthy group
  23. I can't even process getting Yamamoto, I mean holy f*** balls what a rotation.. 1. Gausman 2. Berrios 3. Yamamoto 4. Bassitt 5. Kikuchi 6. Manoah 7. Tiedemann I assume Manoah would still be getting shopped hard for a bat, even if Soto is already gone.
  24. Who has said Atkins is "the best" for f*** sakes? lol You Atkins whiners like to build strawmen that's for sure.
