OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[MindzEye]

I'm shocked that they both got off of their wallets and lit their little risk matrix on fire.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Is he really good? I’m not up to speed on too many non-Jays.

 

[zeke]

2013: really good
2014: really good
2015: injured
2016: injured
2017: mediocre
2018: awesome but only pitched half a season
2019: awesome

Heyman having a couple Sunday night cocktails it seems

 

[LeafOfFaith]

They need to bring home EE.

Give the disillusioned fans a win with a sentimental choice who could still launch 30+ dingers. Or singers, if autocorrect got its way.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

So assuming that Shaw is a bench bat we can still get a DH. So. EE or Thames?

Im willig to trot out a Lourdes, Teo, Grich, Fish, Alford (26) as the OF if there is no clear CF upgrade out there and giving these 4A guys one more year of PA and glove improvement.

Our bench appears to be

Shaw
McGuire
Fisher
Alfors/McKinney
Urena/Espinal/Valera

I guess im okay with this but i wouldnt complain with a better backup MI

Pen

Giles
Shun
Bass
Gaviglio
Font
Pannonne/SRF

Am i missibg anyone? Could use an arm or two here

So Youre aware. Shaw could hit 30 dingers, but if they leave the OF as is and dont give a shit about Rowdy there is a nice DH hole for EE to come home to.

Id still love to get Nimmo

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Isn’t there room for Shaw at 1B and EE at DH? I’m not expecting EE to be a position player anymore.

 

[drewser]

Report earlier today was that Shaw would be our primary 1B

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Yes. The tricky part is do you still want Hernandez in the OF?

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Report earlier today was that Shaw would be our primary 1B

Which is fine. EE isnt an everyday 1B anymore

 

[zeke]

Price and Bradley would both fit nicely.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Price and Bradley would both fit nicely.

Im sure Price was a plan B but i would be all over Bradley.

Move Teo to DH but spell JBJ in CF vs LHP Fisher OF4 who gets in vs RHP.

Means no EE tho

 

[zeke]

And EE too.

1. SS Bichette
2. 2B Biggio
3. 3B Guerrero
4. DH Encarnacion
5. RF Grichuk
6. 1B Shaw
7. LF Gurriel
8. C Jansen
9. CF Bradley

UT Tellez/McKinney
OF Hernandez/Fisher
IF Urena/Drury
C McGuire


SP Ryu
SP Price
SP Roark
SP Shoemaker
SP Anderson
SP Pearson/Borucki/Zeuch/Thornton/etc


That would be an interesting team.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Our payroll is around 80m same as last year

 

[zeke]

Is that a new rule?

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

They still want to get Teo and Fish PA apparantly

 

[axlsalinger]

Ryu was in the running for best pitcher in baseball last year till he started to tire down the stretch. Nice to land a legit FA, he gets hurt a lot but if he can just stay healthy he'll be hella-fun to watch. Love it.

 

[CaptainBolduke]

I am happy???

One more good move and this is a serious team.

 

[Leafin']

If we’re taking the Price contract and helping them resign Betts I want something damn good from them. Benintendi would be great. Bradley would be underwhelming. Do we need a slightly better Pillar making 10 mil?

make them fucking pay.

but how about that, shatkins seem to have gotten off their asses.
