The 2017 Blue Jay season thread
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
Yeah, unlikely. Rogers usually dont sign biggies like him.Not a snow balls chance in hell do the Jays make a big offer
Too bad though, he would look awesome in a Jays uniform
While there still is a market for Stanton, not the trend in baseball anymore. Cheaper and younger and short term contracts is the way of the future. They Jays are just buying time right now until these two are ready to come up. (There's actually a 3rd prospect who's also tearing it, a catcher but I can't remember his name)Would you part with Vlad Jr and Bichette to bring in Stanton ? That’s likely where trade talks start.
His name is Phil....Mc-SomethingWhile there still is a market for Stanton, not the trend in baseball anymore. Cheaper and younger and short term contracts is the way of the future.

Another interpretation of him saying that he agreed, is that he agreed that it is shaping up to be the best WS that he has seen as well.Isnt that what he just said??
Not that it matters much whichever his intended meaning was. Just pointing out how it could be interpreted 2 ways. The English language is very nuanced that way.
You’re probably thinking of Danny Jansen , he only started hitting well this season after being fitted with corrective lenses. He’s only 22 and will probably get an invite to big league camp so they’ll see if he’s for real or not. What’s most impressive, he only struck out 40 times in 400+ plate appearances this season.While there still is a market for Stanton, not the trend in baseball anymore.

Indeed this is the player I was referring to!You’re probably thinking of Danny Jansen , he only started hitting well this season after being fitted with corrective lenses.

This is why they say baseball teams don't need to go into full rebuild mode like other sports try to do. A few little things makes or breaks a team. With the Blue Jays, the injuries to Sanchez, Travis, JD and Tulo, plus JB having the worst year of his career and Morales not meeting expectations, there you have it. (not to mention Estrada had a month and half where he was the worst pitcher in baseball) You fix a few of these things and you have a very different season. Hopefully Sanchez has this blister issues behind him next year, we know anything will be an upgrade in the outfield next year for both corner spots. (Alford and Hernandez will get shots, and if Hernandez does what he doing now, sweet Jesus) Travis will get one more shot I think at proving he's not totally made of glass. You put all these things together and you'll see how a team goes from last to being a contender.
Things couldn't have gone any worse for the Jays this year. If it could go wrong, it did. Hopefully next year is the opposite. In order to win you also need to be lucky. 2018 is a lot more promising than many people might realize.
Bump
Seems fine now.Randomly checked Rowdy Tellez stats. Last year in AA had OPS .917. This year in AAA has OPS .597.
Another can't miss prospect....
