The Blue Jays 2019 Season
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
I'm trying to figure out if that is good or bad news.
no, it's 100% impossible.Not true, its quite pussible
https://jaysjournal.com/2019/01/29/blue-jays-sign-infielder-freddy-galvis/Jays have a new shortstop, Freddie Galvis.
The guy is 29 years old with respectable but hardly high quality stats. Not likely to all of a sudden become an all-star. His best stat seems to be his durability. He's played 162 games each of the last two seasons. At $2M per season if he does the same in terms of games played, that will only be $12,350 per game. Not sure if shapeero is comfortable with paying that much. Between Galvis and Gurriel, have the Jays given up on Travis?
Every time the Jays make a move the reports are that they improved their depth in their bullpen or their infield or rotation. The only problem is that they only have depth players, no impact players.

They're saving all their money for Bryce Harper...lol.
I don't think there's any merit to this as the people of Toronto are voting on what's going there. They're talking about putting a big ferris wheel there, but not one report has mentioned a stadium at all.I attended a wedding at the Ontario Place Pods, what a dilapidated mess that place is, downright seedy. I was having a cancer stick overlooking the inner lagoon and was told that this is where the new Jays stadium will be built.
The Douglas regime is balking at putting in money in renovating the place, possibly the foundation is rotted. There should be an announcement on a stadium later this year. It's too costly to build a drainage system at Roger's Pitt, it's only a matter of time before the roof stops working. The joint is starting to look it's age.
Now that he no longer has to play on turf, Tulo may have a good year.
According to Fansided, "The Blue Jays are slightly updating their spring training and batting practice hats for the 2019 season, notes Thomas Bassinger of the Tampa Bay Times. The cap will feature a differently stitched red maple leaf on a white panel with a blue brim."
What a great and ingenious winning strategy!!! I am going down to Rogers Center and buy my WS tickets right now!!!

These guys are geniuses and I don't think that we appreciate enough the strategies and kinds of insight into baseball that these guys have.

I can see Shack being all triggered when he finds out that BJ's farm system is 3rd best in the league.
Ever since Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro Joined the BJ. In 2016, the farm was ranked 24th and BJ finished the season with .549, winning the WC. 2017, the farm was 20th overall and the season winning % was .469. 2018, farm was 7th best overall and the team winning % was .451. Now? The farm is the third best in the league.
AA didn't even come anywhere near as close as them. Atkins and Sharpio are following the Cubs/Astros/Red Sox (sort of...) players development with young talent. WS come 2021 or 2022.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't mean having the 3rd best farm, I mean that at least 10 of them come up and make significant positive impacts leading up to and including a playoff run.I can see Shack being all triggered when he finds out that BJ's farm system is 3rd best in the league.

Would you prefer a GM you gets you to the playoffs multiple times or somebody who takes 3 or 4 years to tear apart a playoff team and build up a farm and then hope that they achieve their potential and then they play well enough together to be serious contenders. Proven results vs. hopeful results.
Fact. AA's team got to the League Finals twice. Fact. shapeero has built up the 3rd best group of prospects. Fact. Current management have won nothing in the bigs and a lots of things have to go right with the puppies in the minors.
Don't get me wrong, having a deep farm is never a bad thing. It can also be a meaningless thing if they don't win after all the suffering that they have put us through. As well, this strategy is not a secret. Every other team knows about this as well and some of them actually augment their chances and spend some money to ensure that they get the desired results instead of pinning the vast majority of their hopes on unproven youngsters.
Good farm is good. From a fan's point of view, I am far from impressed with what they have done here. If he builds a powerhouse, I will be glad to eat my words.

There's one gaping whole in your assessment.. Fact. From 2010-2014 AA hadn't accomplished shit.
The longer he is delayed to the big show the longer until he becomes a free agentVlad Jr. out 3 weeks with an oblique strain. No question now he starts the season in triple A.
He will not be in Rogers until next year
I think you're wrong.He will not be in Rogers until next year
