OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[Leafin']

So trade him if he isn’t signing. Bo too.

Vladdy's fWAR in the last 4 years:

6.3
3.3
1.3
5.5

Now last year, how much do you think he is worth?

Keep in mind our terrible coaches probably wrecked Vladdy for a year or two there.

If our "terrible" coaches can ruin a player you want to give $400 mil to, well maybe don't give him $400 mil?

 

[zeke]

I buy that Vladdy figured it out last year for real. Even his slow first couple of months showed all the right signs in approach imo and his breakout the rest of the way wasn't a surprise.

I'm betting he's 150wrc+ vlad for the bulk of the next decade.

 

[Deckie007]

pay him 400M and stick him at 3B

 

[Pwner]

No, I agree that Vladdy is an elite bat (now, i wanted to trade him last year at 1.3 fWAR). But last year what was the number to get him signed/ Do you even want to sign him long term?

Yes

Yup, even if he is just okay at 3B it will boost his overall value having him there, and finding a 1B in FA is very very easy

 

[worm]

finding a 1B in FA is very very easy

Skatkins disagrees

 

[MindzEye]

even if he is just okay at 3B

He's not.

Which is cool, the Marlins and Tigers both let Miggy be shit at 3B for a bunch of years. Go get a 1B basher and move Vladdy over, fuck it. But he's not going to be just okay defensively at 3B, he's going to be pretty bad. But fuck it. Defence is for pussies. Real men rake.

 

[leafman101]

Sure signing Vladdy would be nice, but what if they didn't sign him and got Christian Walker instead....

 

[MindzEye]

Walker is so good defensively at 1b....might be worth it, right?

 

[axlsalinger]

Not sure why people are shitting on Christian Walker, dude is likely going to sign with the Yankees and be realgud. Last 3 years:

HR - 36-33-26
wRC+ - 122-119-119

And great defensively.

Because paying him and letting Vlad walk is quintessentially Shatkins

Also, who gives a shit about 1B D

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Wonder how he felt about bumblefuck Eddie and his views.

Saw a discussion about this earlier, pretty sure it's fake. It was also linked to an article about Soto which did not contain any such quote.

 

[zeke]

is there a rumor about christian walker?

 

[axlsalinger]

is there a rumor about christian walker?

not for the Jays. Most people think he'll sign with the Yanks.

This article says Bellinger is the Yankees top option if the money aligns
