OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[zeke]

If keys starts hitting well in AAA at 23 then yeah i'll get excited but the bar is pretty high for a probable 1B.

Schreck already 25 so he needs to clearly dominate AAA and to his credit he's been great since an ice col start but has plateaued again the last few weeks.

Almost included Arias in that group there but i want to see him hit in AA at 22 first. But yeah he's on the verge of being a top prospect.

Pitching prospects i kind of give up on unless they're perfect - i've seen too many great arms flop / injured and too many workmanlike guys succeed to really get too excited. Stanifer popped last year but hasn't been great this year and he doesn't have so many pitches. King tho looks elite. But no better than Tiedeman looked so yeah fuck pitching prospect.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Cease starts tomorrow
Max starts Wednesday

Kirk to DH tonight could be back by Friday

I'll assume Seabold, SWR and Heinemann will be the corresponding moves

I mean Perry is the name this year, and prospecterbators are trying to sell me on Carson Messina as well

King i think is the best one

There's aome exciting names in complex league too.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I think I would hold onto our top 100 names at the deadline and try to get the best arm available for some of the secondary stuff

Kind of fucking amazeballs that we're only 7 games back in the east and 0.5 out of a WC spot given how much of a shit show the start of the season has been.

As usual, nothing that happens before June 1st matters.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Even crazier that Vladdy has been healthy the whole time but offensively invisible.

 

[Deckie007]

There really aren't any good AL Teams right now. I think Tampa might be a mirage too.

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Just need to hang on and see how close to a full and healthy lineup they can get to....imagine scraping in but everybody is back and the bullpen is set up.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Getting smushed again.

If Vladdy is injured, why don't they rest him until whatever it is clears up? What's the point of this?
