He's built a great team, what more do you want? 2nd best record in the AL is nothing to sneeze at and we finally got to a soft spot in the schedule. Anyway, bash away, Ross will never be good enough...

I agree with Chong that Stroman has had a better career to date. But he's now 31, and I believe Berrios, (28 yo), will outperform Stroman this year and in the years ahead. I would prefer Berrios...

in 2019 Ken Giles gave us 53 IP, 83 so's,14.1 so/9, a 1.87 era, and a whip of 1.00, and 23 saves for a pretty crappy team. so we clearly got something for Osuna. They're both out of the Majors now so...

Is that because Atkins has been throwing the pitches for Borucki? Maybe he was never a great draft pick in the first place. Nice input Dan!

We're one game behind the Rays, 5.5 behind the Yanks and we've had a far tougher schedule than the Yanks. They had a crazy unsustainable hot streak and we're a whole 47 games into the season. I think...

Watched his st at bats and commentators mentioned his bulking up. Seemed like everything he hit was hit hard. Hope he keeps it up. Right now he seems like a significant upgrade over Biggio.

But a great finish!

I think they'd keep Chapman and play Martinez at 2nd for a year instead. At $12.5M per, I don't think Chapman's going anywhere.

I saw a few of Bird's ab's this spring. He was teeing off on fastballs early, but he still couldn't lay-off or hit the breaking stuff. No loss here imo. I think katoh is more versatile and will post...

Orelvis starting the year in double A.

The presser said he plays LF and can play CF and did play a lot of CF in the minors. He hit .273 last year with a low K rate so I'm not sure where the can't hit righties comes from. He hit .266...

I would have taken him for that.

This may or may not be relevant, but Dosh hit .255 in Oakland in 2014, he hit .297 in 2015 in TO and .284 in 2016, his last truly healthy year with the Jays.

If Chapman's offense rebounds in 2022,...

Yanks sign Rizzo 2/32, Freeman's camp supposedly told Yanks he preferred not to go there.

Carlos Baerga thinks Freddie has already signed with the Jays. Hope he's right!

I also think Villar is a terrible idea. His base-running mistakes, poor defense, mediocre batting average yells "stay away". Id' sooner see Biggio and Espinal in the line-up than Villar. He'd be too...

I don't think that's the case at all. I believe they're working trades and free agents. these things take a little time. Rumors are Rogers has opened the wallet to go for it all in 2022.

Kikuchi to the Jays, 3 yrs, $36M

Fundamentally I agree with you. But there are a lot of exceptions including Vald - 39 games at AAA, Bo - 56 games, Biggio - 43 games, Gurriel Jr. - 68 games, Danny Jansen - 109 games, Manoah - 3 or...

I don't think he'll be in AAA for a full year. He destroyed the AFL in a 100 plate appearances with a .329/904 slash. He's had 52 abs in the Venezuelan winter league to date with a .286/780 line. I...

No Manoah??

100% agree.

I didn't say Biggio could replace Semien's production. I said the combo of Springer healthy for the full year and Biggio back to his 2019 and 2020 numbers can mitigate most of the loss of Semien....

I disagree. Lst year we started out with an ace, 2 average pitchers and whole lot of cannon fodder for the last 2 spots. Our rotation is so much better going in to 2022.

It hurts losing Semien, no...

Last year we started the year with Ryu (5), Matz (5), Ray (4),Roark (1), Strips (2), Zeuch (2), Thornton (2), Phelps (1), Kay (1), Millone (1), for the month of April.

in 2022 we'll start with...
