The Nemesis

He's our next manager, for sure!
He's worked his way up hte whole system, so that wouldn't be too bad of a choice if they want a rookie manager. I remember him being in Vancouver a few years ago.
He's our next manager, for sure!
A Viable Path for Vlad Jr. to Fight Service-Time Manipulation | FanGraphs Baseball
I know i might be alone here but this is one of the stupidest hypothetical reason as to why the Jays would keep Vlad down.
Shapiro gave 5+ reasons as to why they have not called him up plus there are other legitimate reasons he didnt list but lets focus on the stupidest one.
The problem isnt what they Jays are doing rather the problem is with the rule. MLBPA needs to negotiate a better contract, plain and simple.
Yeah, how little coverage is being devoted to the real issue rather than the teams being blamed for doing what's in their best interest is weird. There is a fix. It would have to be nuanced and wouldn't be able to be x years after being drafted because that would favour college players over HS players, but this isn't rocket science.Just words on a page......
If the players and owners don’t like it, change it in the next CBA.
Clearly it would be better for everyone if Vlad was a September call up, starts the year in Toronto and it counted the same on his service time.

Swing and a misshaiku:
A Rowdy Tellez
Rowdy, Rowdy, So Rowdy
Rowdy Tellez, eh?
Dr. Bob: From an article by Jonah Keri, it appears that the Blue Jays are about to go with a youth movement. Don’t you need a better overall farm system to do that? Or is having a few top prospects enough?
Keith Law: They seem to believe they have a better farm system than they actually do.

Keith Law being disingenuous as usual:
Still acting like the Blue Jays are the only people who think this, and that he's not actually the outlier. Such a hack.
Considering Lind has hit 200 HR and a .272 career average, I'd be happy if Tellez was Lind 2.0We've seen this movie before with a guy called Adam Lind. He hit like this too in 2006 September but did he really amount to anything special? Nope. I really hope Tellez is different.

Even if Jays management thinks there are some weak spots with their prospects they’re not going to come out publicly and voicr their concerns. Unless, of course, they’re setting up another trade with Cleveland.
He had a good point about the system being top heavy with Vlad and Bo, but that’s better than being bottom heavy with high school kids. Doubling, tripling, quadrupling down is silly.
Was just thinking the same thing.Considering Lind has hit 200 HR and a .272 career average, I'd be happy if Tellez was Lind 2.0
I am hoping to see a bunch of Jays, whether vets or young, improve their K/BB. I'm not expecting Votto or Bregman here, and I realize this is a young team. But go down the list, its not good for many. It feels like its been a problem for this team for a while.
If there's one thing the last month or so has provided, it's a genuine sense of optimism looking ahead to next season. It looks like Vlad could have a strong supporting cast.
bb/k numbers are actually one of the best things about prospects vladdy, bo, Jansen, and Tellez.
gurriel/mckinney/Alford not so much.
