Regardless it all has the potential to work out perfectly for us fans. After 6 years of AA this team needed a bold gunslinger to come in, tear it all apart, and build the franchise’s back end up again. When this all works out with Atkins (looks like it just might!), then it could have been perfect timing for a less emotional, more steady hand to come in and lead the freshly modernized blue Jays.

Should be an exciting season. Think I’ll try to make it out to a few games for the first time in a long time.

I think at the moment, it shouldnt but if we have a winning season but fail to make the playoffs, it at least adds to his counting stats so when he does make the playoffs then it will have its effect. I just dint want to price in something that happens a year from now like its happening in the moment, which is a bit foolish IMO and the reason for this thread.

Ive been fairly happy with his offseason moves outsode of a few that I am meh about.

Oh it’s just getting started. It won’t end until everyone agrees to yell “ATKINS” when they climax.

Quite the contrary. I’ve been on the offensive since 2020.

offensive? that you have:D

unrelated......I'm thinking Kirk is going to force his way into the middle of the order because I'm not convinced Chapman will be able to hold down the 6 slot.
