Good outing by Liriano and the 3 bullpen guys.
I really think Biagini's future is in the pen, and not as a starter

The 2017 Blue Jay season thread
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
You may be right about Biagini, but, he is young and inexperienced. I would not give up on him as a starter just yet. I would be hanging on to him as the worst you have is a competent young reliever.
If they move Liriano, Estrada and maybe Happ, with Sanchez on the DL every other week, the Jays will need starters. And there ain't much in at AAA. Biagini will be a starter after end of July, out of necessity.
BTW, Shatkins will say what they need to say to fill butts in seats. They can't say they will blow up the team and try in 2020.
BUT we can see from their moves at the trade deadline what their true intentions are, not just lip-service. Actions speak louder than words.

2018 - We assume that Josh plays up to his normal potential and that this year is an aberration. Travis is back and hits well. Hopefully he stays healthy. The corner OF spots needs to be filled. That will be a big job. Tulo at SS will be a year older and slower. Smoak will hopefully continue to impress at 1B. Martin will still be C.
3 spots in the rotation will need to be plugged. Biagini? And two others from AAA or free agency?
I am not seeing a contender in 2018. I am seeing a sub .500 team again, sadly.
Jeff Blair confirmed this morning on radio that KC Royals made inquiries about a package deal involving Liriano and Estrada, but apparently the deal fell through.
I'm actually quite amazed anyone is interested in Liriano, especially KC

Unless you're facing a guy named Aaron Judge :biggrin1:

In his interview he was hinting Jays will be more inclined to deal in the winter, rather then this summer.
That means Jays might make a move or two before monday, but I think the bulk of the trades will come this winter
Anybody else notice that Donaldson is no longer wearing the face shield? When did he ditch it?
I remember thinking earlier this year that he'd give up on it if his season didn't turn around. Took longer than I expected.

The Jays need baby step goals. At a minimum they should try to pass the Orioles before the end of the season.
They said on AM590 it was hindering his ability to see the breaking balls.
So he ditched it
Oh Jeezus Christ. What else can go wrong????????????????
Not that it really matters anymore though.
