Don't mind it at all. Similar to Shaw, if you're hoping for a return to 2017 form for a 29 year old. Apparently, he's a great dude too, which they've place some importance on.

Yeah, no one they sign to those kinds of contracts (Galvis, Sogard, Panik, Tejada, etc.) is likely to be particularly good, so I'm perfectly content with them being guys who fit profiles they like and who can potentially have a positive impact on the young regulars in some way.

At some point I really hope Sportsnet plays Game 4 of the 1992 ALCS. I have never seen that game.

Could work out well if it is a double cohort draft class and we keep our draft position at #5.
Twice as many players to choose from, some with an extra season to develop and scout. Would also be good for teams with supplemental picks too

A shortened regular season would probably be a good thing for the sport as most fans agree on 162 games being too much. Would add some more importance and drama to each series too
MLB being postponed is probably the best thing to happen to the Astros lmao

With the way USA is handling the virus, there won't be a season this year.
You're in luck. Monday at 8 PM (although I think its abbreviated)

Blue Jays president says 4 weeks of spring training needed before season
TORONTO -- With no sign of when training camps can resume, Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro says he thinks Major League Baseball would need at least a month of workouts and exhibition games before regular-season play can begin.
Opening Day has been postponed until at least mid-May because of the coronavirus pandemic.
"Knowing that so many players are not even having any access to throwing at all or hitting at all, but most importantly just throwing, and probably limited access to just training and exercise, it's hard to imagine we could get ready in less than four weeks," Shapiro said in a teleconference with Toronto reporters.
Shapiro cautioned that training camps aren't likely to reopen for some time.
"I do think that we're, by and large, waiting for some sort of flattening of the curve and recognition that we have done our best to limit the strain on the health care system and the economic system," he said. "Until that time, the exact outcome and impact on our schedule, and all of the corresponding business that cascades off that, really can't be determined.
"It certainly looks like we are not dealing with days and likely not weeks, but closer to months."
Speaking from his Toronto home, where he and his family are isolating themselves, Shapiro said he expects negotiations between MLB and the players' union on an industry-wide plan to compensate players for missed games to conclude "in the next 24 to 48 hours."
All but three of Toronto's major league players have left the team's spring training site in Dunedin, Florida. Those who remain are South Korean left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu, Japanese right-hander Shun Yamaguchi and right-hander Rafael Dolis, who is from the Dominican Republic.
Shapiro said the three players "did not have any place to go." They are the only players who maintain access to Toronto's Florida facilities.

If you were ranking top Jays players of the 2010s, where would you rank Marco Estrada? In the top 10? Outside of the top 10? For 2 seasons, he was great. Opponents couldn't hit a lick against him + some extremely clutch pitching performances in the playoffs when the team was facing elimination. What do you think?
