The problem with Vlad is he did have that one year where he was great, so you know the talent is there. But outside of that year, he's like an .800 OPS first baseman. Other than that year, he's basically Rhys Hoskins, and yeah, you don't want to commit like 30m a year in a long term deal for...

Schneider and Varsho are more SLG than anything else in their offensive profiles. In theory Vlad should be there too. A lot of the other guys (Bo, Kirk, Turner, etc...) don't have the raw power, but should be able to get balls to the gaps. If everyone in the lineup has a 100+ OPS+/wRC+, then...

On the flipside, if the top 4 can pick it up, while the depth continues, they could have a nice run. Bi, Kirk, and KK are the 3 that are really under-performing. Springer is going downhill, but as long as he can keep drawing walks, you can live with him at the top of the lineup. Although you...

Players get 3 seasons after they are called up they can be sent down in. But sometimes you can avoid that depending on injuries and stuff to get a little extra time in.

I assume guys will be up and down every 10-15 days for the near future. I don't really like keeping up guys just to run the tandem spot, since that sort of wastes 2 arms until you're comfortable using Francis another day or two each week as well.

Yeah, like it's not mathematically sound, but being able to remove a small low interest debt has some merits. But that advice should only come as a "if you are really struggling mentally to keep your affairs in order, here's an alternate that might help you stay on track". On the mortgage...

Nah, absolutely impossible to comeback from that.

I think the Jays market is all of Canada, so they would all be blacked out on mlb.tv I think. It's great if they have what you want, but blackouts are a bitch.

Baseball this year is super tight. I may have access to a sim engine, and if you run the season 1000 times, you have 2/3 of the league could win 100+ games. ATL and LAD are basically the only locks to make the playoffs - the next best team after that is like 80%. I actually have the Jays win the...

Justinflation is even screwing over the provincial government!

Yikes. Looks like video from a movie it just crumples

I mean, the fact that they punted Espinal and Schneider is still a lock to make the team is giving him a lot of rope. If not for his potential and his hot start last year, he'd be nowhere close to the roster right now and would be back in AAA. The biggest question right now on the roster is...

I'll take back Ji-Hwan Bae, Dylan Dodd, and Luis Frias

Jays need to figure out the 4th OF spot. The IF can be pieced together, and if someone like Clement comes in and steals Espinal's spot, all the better.

Guys like Votto I always find a bit weird how to handle. Like, on the one hand, giving him a few games, letting him play for the hometown team, and at least letting him retire on his own terms is great. but on the other hand, I kind of feel that a guy who does play his whole career for one team...

Yeah, and Biden is OLD

Welcome aboard! May your team not be a dumpster fire!

As we had in the discussion before, any option is going to feel right and wrong, just because they are pretty unique scenarios. And even if we had this before for Bauer, he's technically cleared to return now, so like at some level it feels like he should protected or not right now. But at the...

Yeah, like I think you stomach the IKF decision a lot better if Chapman locks in for like a 4 year deal. Still a chance that Chapman's deal doesn't work out, but it's only 3 years and drops in value. Odds are he'll opt out as long as he doesn't get hurt, but that's not even a bad thing. It's...

Just trying to hype them up and hope someone bit. It worked for Ohtani. But Chapman and Belli (and soon to be Snell and Montgomery) are not exactly "can't miss" options. I wonder if they would have been better to go the other route, leak that Chapman was thinking about signing a 3/60 deal...
