  1. Still doesn't understand why Atkins didn't keep Lukes as fourth OF instead of Schneider.
  2. Should have sign Bellinger and a top reliever, instead of batch of bench players 🫤
  3. With his 16.43 ERA, for sure he need to be cut. If this was M White, R Tidermann, Y Rodriguez, or T Richards who had such stats, I doubt you will want them on the roster. So need to be fair, and keep the players who deserve to play.
  4. I think Kiguchi will be cut, because he's awful in spring training, idem with Voldenbach who is useless since we sign Votto. Schneider will be send to Buffalo, and depending if Gausmann no placed on IL, Tidermann can start few games before be send in AAA. Barger, Clemens, Lukes deserve to be in opening roster. White is far to be one of my fav, but he pitched better than Kiguchi. Rodriguez will be more useful as SP than on bullpen .
  5. 1B: V Guerrero 2B: E Clemens 3B: IKF SS: B Bichette C: A Kirk LF: D Varsho CF: K Kiermaier RF: G Springer DH: J Turner SP1: J Berrios SP2: K Gausman SP3: C Bassitt SP4: M White SP5: Y Rodriguez CL: J Romano SU: E Swanson RP3: Y Garcia RP4: T Mayza RP5: C Green RP6: T Richards RP7: G Cabrera Bench1: C Biggio Bench2: N Lukes Bench3: B Serven Bench4: A Barger
  6. Why I am worried about Kiguchi? For sure his 12.46 ERA so far in the spring training doesn't help, and he wasn't good in 2022. Last year, stats was good, but he only started 6 games.
  7. If Manoah placed on injury list, should give opportunity to Tidermann. Ideally Atkins need sign Snell, even if Boras ask for options out after first year. I have 0 faith in White and Kiguchi. Amongst bench guys, only Clement and Barger should keep. Elvis, Tom Selleck, Pablo Escobar, Horwitz doesn't deserves to be in mlb.
  8. The problem with Boras, is that he always want include options out after 1 -2 years. Basically if the player have a good season, he will screw up his team, and want test free agency again or blackmail to do it . I guess it's why teams didn't agreed for long term contracts with Bellinger, Chapman or Snell.
  9. In fact we will know in the first half of season. If jays have good start, and long term contracts offers made to Bichette and Vlad, if they refuse discuss it, will be clear they want to test free agency.
  10. A contract similar to what Springer get. Something like150 millions for 6 years
  11. Anyway, with Vlad, Bichette that have 99.99% chances test free agency after 2025, better jays keep their best prospects for rebuilding.
  12. No just Tidermann for Trout:lol Will need add more prospects like Orelvis, and players like Varsho, Biggio
  13. If Atkins trade Tidermann for a rental player or a fourth OF, this will remind me when AA traded Syndergaard for Dickey. So will be a mistake for sure. But if this is for a guy like Trout or Tatis Jr, this make more sense.
  14. No just Vlad and Alek who are in shape now. Kirk also worked hard to be fit .
  15. Won't be a surprise to see Baltimore, Yankees, Texas, Houston, Seattle, Tampa Bay and one amongst Cleveland/Minnesota, ahead of Toronto for wildcard race. We lack 3B, OF, and 2B is filled with bench players like Biggio, IKF, Schneider, Espinal . And I am no sure if Turner will be a upgrade to Belt as DH.
  16. I won't be surprised if Atkins will start trading Vlad, Bo and other of our best pitchers at end of the season, for prospects and low cost players. This can explain why he just offered 1 year contact to Turner and KK. Almost sure he can have easily get Joc , Soler or Bellinger if offered multi years contracts. And to have make 700 millions offer to Ohtani, in fact won't have cost so much to Rogers sign him , because just with new sponsors from Japan, will have paid Ohtani salary. So it's possible Rogers don't want to spend too much this year and next, until their deal with NHL end or want cut payroll for the next few years, because of the recent renovations at Rogers stadium.
  17. I prefer: LF-Springer SS-Bichette 1B-Vlad DH-Soler RF-Bellinger 3B-Turner C-Kirk/Jansen CF-Varsho/KK 2B-IKF/Biggio
  18. No impressed at all by Atkins moves this off season. He do lazy and mediocre work to improve the team. Also he was played by Ohtani agent like a noob, will go in arbitration with his best player (good luck if he want sign him long term after) Won't be surprised if he trade Tidermann and Manoah to get another OF with few years of control, but max 3 war
  19. To go in arbitrary with Vlad for 1 million differential is a stupid move, if the plan is to convince him sign long term, unless if he refused contact extension and wish test FA.
  20. Bellinger at 200-220 millions it's a bit expensive, but soon we will lose Bichette and in 2 years Springer contract will end. We already cut payroll with Ryu, Chapman, Belt, Merrifield and Hicks gone. We can easily afford Bellinger and a DH like JDM , Soler or JP
  21. I think he can be successful in mlb, because in Japan he was great and in the WBC stats was good too.
  22. What can explain why Yankees didn't overpaid for Snell is collusion with other teams except Dodgers 😉 I guess Snell want more money than Cole, and Mets and Dodgers f***ed the market for SP offering too much money to guys like Scherzer, Verlander, Yamamoto.
  23. I prefer Soler , coz he have more power. Ideally we should get Soler + Bellinger. Ofc this won't happen, because Atkins think we don't need guys who can hit 25-30 HR. Run prevention better😅 So far we didn't replaced Ryu, Hicks, Chapman, Siemens, Hernandez, and didn't improved roster. Arguably, we can say we replaced Gurriel with Varsho, and Merrifield with IKF but the bullpen no better than in 2023 and we really lack power. Biggio, Espinal, Schneider, KK are only bench players.
  24. Atkins happy with the current rosters? He's delusional:lol Because he did a lazy work to improve the team, was easily played by Ohtani agent and Boras, and now we still don't have quality players at 3B, LF, DH, 2B. Biggio, Schneider, Espinal, IKF, Barger, Clement, Elvis are only less than average bench players and should never be on starting lineup. And I see KK as journeyman who will be in lineup when Springer will have day off or Varsho will be in lethargie as usual for 75% of time😄 Kirk or Biggio as DH? Come on, need stop joking. Also without Hicks, bullpen is worse than in 2023.
