OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Kirk, Clement and Barger are all worth more fWAR than Vladdy. And if Varsho was healthy this year, I bet he would be too.

So 5th best fWAR player.

Sure. Vlad is the best hitter on the team.

He should be for what they are paying him.

And he is.

And if they hadn't paid him, guarantee the jays would not be in first place, and they' likely be on the verge of blowing it up entirely this deadline.
 
They are winning close games and losing blowouts. I guess that is unstable? But their bullpen has been nails all season long.

Next year, I guess, they will regress to the mean. So worry then?
 
Gms 01-20: 12-8, +6 run differential (+0.30runs/gm)
Gms 21-29: 1-8, -41 run differential (-4.56runs/gm)
Gms 30-91: 40-22, +51 run differential (+0.82runs/gm)

Can we just toss out those hilarious 9gms in the middle there? Probably not. But maybe.
 
I really love seeing Bo behind vladdy in tbe order a couple games in a row now. This time joined by Barger with Springer staying up top where he belongs and joined by obl guy Lukes....but that was clement up there vlhp last time.

I definitely think this move is good for Bo and im also happy keeping Barger away from top of the order pressure/attention in this his first full season, even if his performance deserves it.

And Springer fully deserves being up top and has dealt with that pressure/attention his whole career so that's the right move.

So this might be a question if whether the Lukes/Clement platoon can keep performing in that top of the order role. Kinda reminds me of when we had the Catalanotto/Reed platoon up there.

I don't know if we'll ever be healthy but the lineup could look really deep really quickly.

V RHP / LHP

1. LF Lukes / 3B Clement
2. DH Springer / DH Springer
3. 1B Guerrero / 1B Guerrero
4. SS Bichette / SS Bichette
5. RF Santander / RF Santander
6. C Kirk / C Kirk
7. 3B Barger / 2B Schneider
8. CF Varsho / CF Varsho
9. 2B Gimenez / LF Straw
