OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

Isn’t Nimmala the former cricketer who started baseballing relatively late? If so, makes his numbers more impressive imo
 
updated look at how the players' wRC+ compares to the pre-season projections:



Player: Projection --> Current --> Difference


Way Over

* Heineman: 77 --> 172 --> +95
* Springer: 109 --> 143 --> +34

Over

* Straw: 74 --> 99 --> +25
* Barger: 107 --> 129 --> +22
* Lukes: 108 --> 129 --> +21
* Clase: 88 --> 102 --> +14

At

* Clement: 100 --> 105 --> +5
* Varsho: 104 --> 108 --> +4
* Bichette: 120 --> 114 --> -6
* Alejandro 118 --> 110 --> -8

Under

* Guerrero: 152 --> 138 --> -14

Way Under

* Gimenez: 107 --> 67 --> -40
* Santander: 126 --> 66 --> -60
* Roden: 112 --> 52 --> -60
* Wagner: 118 --> 51 --> -67
 
heading into June now. Just past the 1/3 mark. Not early anymore.

We sit 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5gms back of the three wild cards, so obviously right in the race.


That's nothing to write hom about, of course, but it's not bad.

And it's actually kind of impressive that we're where we are despite getting literally negative value from the $60m salary we spent on our four new significant adds - Santander, Gimenez, Scherzer, Hoffman.

And it's not like the rest of the roster is overachieving on the whole either, so there's a decent hope that those four can still yet turn us into a significantly above average team if they get their acts together.
 
I think the first half of the Jays schedule is tougher than the second half. They should make the playoffs this year, as MLB is pretty mid overall.

Now, can they win a series, or even a game, in the playoffs?

And if they do, Shatkins will be the front office for the next 10 years, lol
 
Royals have called up Jac Cagliglione.

I have a question for prospect people.

I own Torkelson, Cagliglione, Casas, Elly and Jacob Wilson.

I can only play 3 of them long term at 1B, SS, and UTIL.

Curious what people would do. Im currently debating a trade of Jac, and stuff for Yamamoto.
