So excited that ball has started!
I think the Jays will be competitive this year, even though it's transition year. The problem is that once any veterans become good the team will sell them off at high value I think. But I love that their farm system is top 5 in baseball now. I have big personal expectations for Gurriel Jr this year, as well as Thornton. Think they will become pleasant surprises. Sure was a good game yesterday. Stroman looks on point!
Need some more LHP prospects. Got some good RHP options marinating right now. I like Borucki, hoping he can be in the starting 5 when healthy. Giles and Shoemaker are good cheap pitching options if they return to form from injury.
Also love Bo, just has that baseball pedigree and works hard on and off the diamond. Should be a great utility player. Vladdy and Biggio also have good pedigrees. The offense could be great if they all pan out. Feel management is trying to mimick HOU. Go young and develop your stud picks. Insulate when ready. Have to. Cant compete with NYY and BOS cap spending.
May be able to trade a Pillar or Smoaky if management dont feel like extending them.
You think Stroman would stay if offered a fair offer? Hes a possible trade chip too. Personally like Sanchez better but you're right, when Stro is ON, hes a top #1/2 in the rotation.
Gurriel is sick! Dont know much about Thornton but hes obviously good if hes in the top 10 prospects for us. Should be a fun year to watch the young guns build the identity to the team going forward.
