IIRC the Jays took a run at Freeman two off seasons ago, and also Boegarts last off season.
Looking at Vladdy's struggles and the upcoming holes in the roster next season, those would have been great signings.
Gabby Martinez and Ranier Nunez sure s*** the bed this season, and so has Dasan Brown.
Zach Britton was actually having a solid campaign but has been out injured for three months now.
I was hoping this group would be crowding the upper minors by seasons end but none of them will see a promotion this year.
And it's currently missing Romano, Richards and Green.
The Jays have also built up a stable of live young bullpen arms in the upper minors with Pearson, Pop, Zulueta, Francis, Eisert, Danner, Juenger, Cooke, Fluharty and Burnette.
Feels so good to sweep that crap team. Can't believe they were 0-7 against them before this series.
Salvaged the 7 games against the O's and Red Sox with a 4-3 overall record. Well done.
Vladdy is basically replacement level now.
I sure hope he's been nursing some sort of injury, because if this is what he's regressed to by the age of 24 then this iteration of the Jays core is probably not going to win anything.
Pop has been pitching in AAA and getting his clock cleaned mostly.
Relievers are so f***ed. I thought both he and Bass would play big parts in the Jays BP this year and neither have, yet the Jays BP is actually pretty good lol
Looks like Connor Cooke is closing in NH now.
He has a ridiculous 46 K's in just 24.2 IP in AA so far this season, against just 7 walks.
His ERA is a little high but he's running an absurdly high BABIP at .481
Just 23 in AA and other than that BABIP he's pretty much owning the level with elite stuff and what looks like elite command as well.
1-14 against the O's and Red Sox with a -47 run differential
I just can't even believe it, it's unreal.
Two teams in the entire league might just sewer the Jays entire season lol
They are 58-35 against the rest of the league!!! ...and +88 run diff!!
That's a 101 win pace.
