    How did Ken Giles look after his return last season with Seattle? Obviously he sucked because they DFA'ed him but did he still bring the heat or is his arm cooked? I wouldn't mind seeing him and/or Trevor Rosenthal brought in on training camp invites or MiLB deals. Two filthy bat missers before their injuries.

    I'm pretty excited about this season. 1. I don't think the offense has taken as big of a hit as people like to think 2. The OF defense should be vastly improved, and the overall defense is above average to elite at every position but SS 3. They (more than?) adequately replaced Stripling's 2022 production by bringing in Bassitt, plus I don't think Berrios or Kikuchi will be as bad as they were in '22 4. IMO the bullpen is well ahead of last years to start the season with Bass/Pop/Swanson/White and hopefully Pearson playing a role as well

    That Jays had the 2nd best wRC+ in all of baseball last season. Losing Teoscar and Lourdes shouldn't knock them out of the top 5 IMO, especially if Vladdy bounces back a bit. I'm also expecting a big year from Chapman in a contract year, and I also expect Varsho to improve with no shift. Probably Biggio as well.

    It'd be nice if Bowden Francis suddenly turned into something, but I certainly won't be holding my breath.
  5. Eat My Shatkins
    I had completely forgotten that he was non tendered by the Cards and is a free agent.
  6. Eat My Shatkins
    Seeing more rumblings out there about the Jays having interest in Alex Reyes. I wouldn't mind the Jays taking a flyer on him. More gas for the BP. Tons of walks, but tons of K's too.

    Also, anyone know what happened to that 6'9 reliever we had in AAA who was reportedly hitting triple digits? Fitz Stadler. He didn't pitch an inning anywhere last season. I assume he must have underwent TJS Maybe he'll be back this year and have better control. Walks were an issue with that guy for sure.
  8. Eat My Shatkins
    Anybody else feel like the Jays bullpen is teetering on the edge of becoming possibly elite? Looking at FG roster projections, the Jays are at a point where they have enough quality BP arms where guys like Pop, Pearson and Merryweather might not even start on the MLB roster. Now they add another hard throwing project like Julian Fernandez into the mix. Then you have high end prospects like Tiedemann and Zulueta, who I realize are starters, but could easily start their MLB careers in the bullpen before transitioning back to starters, especially with how strong the Jays rotation looks ATM. Not to mention reliever prospects like Adrian Hernandez, Hayden Jeunger and Hagen Danner who are all right there at the AA/AAA levels and looking good. Seems like they've come a long ways from the days where they had to give damn near 150 innings combined to waiver wire fodder like Thornton, Payamps, Saucedo and Castro.

    Imagine a world where Julian Fernandez figures his s*** out, Nate Pearson stays healthy and Julian Merryweather pre-sticky stuff ban resurfaces... Along with Romano that would be one hell of a flame throwing, bat missing, back end of a bullpen.
  10. Eat My Shatkins
    I'd say yes, although we'll see how Varsho transitions to LF.
  11. Eat My Shatkins
    1. Mets 2. Padres 3. Yankees 4. Braves 5. Rays 6. Astros 7. Cards 8. Jays 9. Dodgers 10. Guardians
  12. Eat My Shatkins
    Man it's exciting knowing the jays have three legit CFers patrolling the OF now.
  13. Eat My Shatkins
    Still wouldn't mind Cueto on a 1 year deal
  14. Eat My Shatkins
    Plus there is a chance Ryu comes back and makes an impact mid season, and Pearson/Merryweather are also wild cards although they are no longer counted on to make an impact it will just strictly be a bonus if they do.
  15. Eat My Shatkins
    Eovaldi to the Rangers Too bad, still had slim hope he'd sign with the Jays 2/34
  16. Eat My Shatkins
    You said "Bassitt was nice, otherwise id say worse for sure." That's a quote. You said nothing about hitting
  17. Eat My Shatkins
    Next years projections were included in my post Incoming guys projected for 4.7 WAR Outgoing guys projected for 4.1 WAR So worse how?
  18. Eat My Shatkins
    The Jays FO could very well believe Moreno will be a star and still decided to trade him because they also believe Varsho is (and will continue to be) a star and fills much more of a need for the Jays right now than Moreno, for obvious reasons.
  19. Eat My Shatkins
    The Jays replace two OFers who combined for 3.4 WAR (4.1 projected WAR) with two OFer who combined for 5.7 WAR (4.7 projected WAR) but you'd say without Bassitt they'd be worse for sure? How do you figure that? Should also note that the two OFers leaving were below average corner OFers and the two coming in are above average to elite CFers
  20. Eat My Shatkins
    Kekai Rios He's had 10 PA's in AA in his career The Jays only have two catchers on the 40 man, Jansen and Kirk. Varsho is the defacto 3rd string catcher right now. Bec and Ellison are slated to start as the AAA catchers right now Lots of off season left though
  21. Eat My Shatkins
    Well s***, I just saw that the Giants signed Taylor Rogers. Maybe the Jays can get Chafin?
  22. Eat My Shatkins
    Kikuchi started 20 games for the Jays last season to the tune of negative 0.7 WAR and the Jays still won 92 games as a team. They can afford to trot him out again as a 5th starter if that's what they want to do IMO.
  23. Eat My Shatkins
    Luxury threshold be damned.... Sign Conforto or Profar Sign Cueto or Kluber Sign Rogers or Chafin You'd be adding about $25-30 million AAV or so? I'd like that team, a lot.
  24. Eat My Shatkins
    This is probably why the Jays were reportedly talking to Cueto. I would love to see Cueto or Kluber brought in on a year deal just to fill out the 5th spot and as a result improve the depth by knocking everyone else down a notch.
