Red Sox 32-28. They can beat the Jays and Orioles easily but the Yankees and Rays will give them trouble. As much as I want them to make the playoffs they won’t this year, I just hope they re-sign Mookie
With Sale gone, no Betts, no Price, no fix to the pen, I don't think the Sox will beat the Jays at all.
Jays are much better suited, especially with Pearson on no innings count in a 60 game schedule, plus Ryu..And hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance Betts goes back to Boston. He always wanted out, which is why he never entertained re-signing, and Boston already has serious payroll trouble with luxury tax problems and one of the highest "dead money" situations in baseball. If anything, they're going to shed as much as possible
Pearson is questionable with the control and being a rookie, Ryu should be good however. I could see the Sox and Jays even
Questionable with the control?? Please tell me where you have ever read something bad about his control! Please.. I'd love to see it.
Every scouting report says he fills the zone with almost all his offerings, especially his 99-104 mph fastball and slider. His minor league stats show he absolutely throws strikes (2.4 BB/9). There is absolutely nothing indicating this is a thing.
Sure, we have yet to see the Jays blossom, so it's early to say they will overtake the Sox for the foreseeable future, but judging by young talent, and future payroll, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Boston say the Sox have a better looking future than the Jays.. Sox are a mess.. Jays have the best young nucleus in the sport along with Padres, Rays and Braves.
Jays will be better in the future but this year I think it is even. Sox have a better offense and Jays have better pitching
This may be true, but the Jays offense have a chance to absolutely explode at any time.
When you have Vlad, Bo, Biggio, Gurriel, Jansen as 5/9 of your order, plus Martin and Groshans coming up, you could have growing pains, or you could be the best offense in baseball. That's a huge ceiling -

But we have JD, Devers, the x-man, Vazquez (who did amazing last year), and Benny who might have a bounce back season. Your guys have potential but ours have shown their potential

Don't look past Biggio, he hit for the cycle in his rookie season plus 16 home runs . Not many players can do that in a lifetime let alone a rookie season.

Maybe but I haven’t seen enough and he wasn’t playing amazing in the minors. The average scares me

Here's a fun fact Craig Biggio had a batting average of 257 in his first full season, we all know what he did from there.

What Biggio showed in his rookie season, and why everyone in the industry became high on him isn't his power (which he showed already in the minors), his versatility to play all over the field well, or his good defense at 2B..
It was his insane plate discipline and pitch recognition. He almost never swung at a pitch out of the zone, and actually led MLB in it.
A rookie who walks 73 times in only 400 AB, and never swings outside of the zone?? That is a very good thing. There isn't many better things to see from a young hitter. -

He did show me that he has discipline but I believe in Vlad and Bo more than Cavan

Average means nothing when your OBP is near .400.. it's 2020 dude... Not 1986.. nobody cares about AVG anymore.
And yes, so do I.. Cavan wasn't supposed to be a core piece. He's just turning into one.
Vlad and Bo are supposed to be the superstars of course. -

Red Sox 32-28. They can beat the Jays and Orioles easily but the Yankees and Rays will give them trouble. As much as I want them to make the playoffs they won’t this year, I just hope they re-sign Mookie
With Sale gone, no Betts, no Price, no fix to the pen, I don't think the Sox will beat the Jays at all.
Jays are much better suited, especially with Pearson on no innings count in a 60 game schedule, plus Ryu..And hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance Betts goes back to Boston. He always wanted out, which is why he never entertained re-signing, and Boston already has serious payroll trouble with luxury tax problems and one of the highest "dead money" situations in baseball. If anything, they're going to shed as much as possible
Pearson is questionable with the control and being a rookie, Ryu should be good however. I could see the Sox and Jays even
Questionable with the control?? Please tell me where you have ever read something bad about his control! Please.. I'd love to see it.
Every scouting report says he fills the zone with almost all his offerings, especially his 99-104 mph fastball and slider. His minor league stats show he absolutely throws strikes (2.4 BB/9). There is absolutely nothing indicating this is a thing.
Sure, we have yet to see the Jays blossom, so it's early to say they will overtake the Sox for the foreseeable future, but judging by young talent, and future payroll, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Boston say the Sox have a better looking future than the Jays.. Sox are a mess.. Jays have the best young nucleus in the sport along with Padres, Rays and Braves.
Jays will be better in the future but this year I think it is even. Sox have a better offense and Jays have better pitching
This may be true, but the Jays offense have a chance to absolutely explode at any time.
When you have Vlad, Bo, Biggio, Gurriel, Jansen as 5/9 of your order, plus Martin and Groshans coming up, you could have growing pains, or you could be the best offense in baseball. That's a huge ceilingI don’t believe in Biggio yet. Vlad may break out and Bo will be a stud. But we have JD, Devers, the x-man, Vazquez (who did amazing last year), and Benny who might have a bounce back season. Your guys have potential but ours have shown their potential
Don't look past Biggio, he hit for the cycle in his rookie season plus 16 home runs . Not many players can do that in a lifetime let alone a rookie season.
Maybe but I haven’t seen enough and he wasn’t playing amazing in the minors. The average scares me
What Biggio showed in his rookie season, and why everyone in the industry became high on him isn't his power (which he showed already in the minors), his versatility to play all over the field well, or his good defense at 2B..
It was his insane plate discipline and pitch recognition. He almost never swung at a pitch out of the zone, and actually led MLB in it.
A rookie who walks 73 times in only 400 AB, and never swings outside of the zone?? That is a very good thing. There isn't many better things to see from a young hitter.Like I said if he can hit for a high average I will believe in him but it was only 1 year of a prospect I wasn’t so high on and had a low average. He did show me that he has discipline but I believe in Vlad and Bo more than Cavan
Average means nothing when your OBP is near .400.. it's 2020 dude... Not 1986.. nobody cares about AVG anymore.
And yes, so do I.. Cavan wasn't supposed to be a core piece. He's just turning into one.
Vlad and Bo are supposed to be the superstars of course.For me, I care more about plate discipline than average when it comes to young players, and while Cavan strikes out a good bit, the walk rate is really encouraging, I'm a huge fan of his and think he is really underrated just because Bo and Vlad are on the same team. I own Cavan in just about every dynasty baseball league I'm in and look forward to a future of 20/20 seasons with .380+ OBP

I agree! Last year was very encouraging. I knew he was disciplined in the minors during his breakout, but nobody thought he would be truly elite at it. Which he's become. If he's even 80% his father, which he very well could be, the Jays have a stud.
The best part is, Cavan wasn't supposed to be a core piece. Vlad, Bo, Groshans and Now Martin are the true core. Getting Cavan in there is just gravy. And a high on base to go with the potential of those offensive pieces is scary -

Oh for sure. Bo, in my opinion is the centerpiece. I think he can be an mvp candidate for years to come. Total package. He just flat out hits.. and hits it extremely hard! You wouldn't think he has the power he does, but his swing has insane exit velos.
Vlad will be limited to only his hitting being valuable. Though I think he has the potential to hit like Miggy in his prime. Or become a monster power hitter even. But more of a 1B/DH... He will only be at 3B until Groshans makes him move over.

Bo is the best by far. He is almost a 5 tool player (missing arm strength)! I do great with him in BR lol. Biggio could be like Bo with less speed. Vlad needs to improve on defense but I’m confident in his hitting

A rookie who walks 73 times in only 400 AB, and never swings outside of the zone?? That is a very good thing. There isn't many better things to see from a young hitter.Like I said if he can hit for a high average I will believe in him but it was only 1 year of a prospect I wasn’t so high on and had a low average. He did show me that he has discipline but I believe in Vlad and Bo more than Cavan
Average means nothing when your OBP is near .400.. it's 2020 dude... Not 1986.. nobody cares about AVG anymore.
And yes, so do I.. Cavan wasn't supposed to be a core piece. He's just turning into one.
Vlad and Bo are supposed to be the superstars of course.For me, I care more about plate discipline than average when it comes to young players, and while Cavan strikes out a good bit, the walk rate is really encouraging, I'm a huge fan of his and think he is really underrated just because Bo and Vlad are on the same team. I own Cavan in just about every dynasty baseball league I'm in and look forward to a future of 20/20 seasons with .380+ OBP
I agree! Last year was very encouraging. I knew he was disciplined in the minors during his breakout, but nobody thought he would be truly elite at it. Which he's become. If he's even 80% his father, which he very well could be, the Jays have a stud.
The best part is, Cavan wasn't supposed to be a core piece. Vlad, Bo, Groshans and Now Martin are the true core. Getting Cavan in there is just gravy. And a high on base to go with the potential of those offensive pieces is scaryIf he does good this year again, I will believe in him. But from the scouting reports Bo and Vlad will be amazing. Bo was amazing last year and I think he will continue to be the Jays superstar for years to come, Cavan could but Bo and Vlad have a better chance
Oh for sure. Bo, in my opinion is the centerpiece. I think he can be an mvp candidate for years to come. Total package. He just flat out hits.. and hits it extremely hard! You wouldn't think he has the power he does, but his swing has insane exit velos.
Vlad will be limited to only his hitting being valuable. Though I think he has the potential to hit like Miggy in his prime. Or become a monster power hitter even. But more of a 1B/DH... He will only be at 3B until Groshans makes him move over.
Bo is the best by far. He is almost a 5 tool player (missing arm strength)! I do great with him in BR lol. Biggio could be like Bo with less speed. Vlad needs to improve on defense but I’m confident in his hitting
Haha see that's not true IRL. I have no clue where they get his arm rating from.. I watched Bo in every game and followed him since he was hitting .400 in the minors.. he has a great arm.
And ya, I'm not convinced at all about Vlad's defense. He's just too big bodied to handle 3B, despite the fact he moves very well for such a big dude. He had a rough go last year, but I'm confident in his hitting to carry him to his expectations. The combination of his father's bat to ball skills and his amazing eye will eventually show everyone why he was the first scouted 80 grade hit tool in history.

Red Sox 32-28. They can beat the Jays and Orioles easily but the Yankees and Rays will give them trouble. As much as I want them to make the playoffs they won’t this year, I just hope they re-sign Mookie
With Sale gone, no Betts, no Price, no fix to the pen, I don't think the Sox will beat the Jays at all.
Jays are much better suited, especially with Pearson on no innings count in a 60 game schedule, plus Ryu..And hate to break it to you, but there is a 0% chance Betts goes back to Boston. He always wanted out, which is why he never entertained re-signing, and Boston already has serious payroll trouble with luxury tax problems and one of the highest "dead money" situations in baseball. If anything, they're going to shed as much as possible
Pearson is questionable with the control and being a rookie, Ryu should be good however. I could see the Sox and Jays even
Questionable with the control?? Please tell me where you have ever read something bad about his control! Please.. I'd love to see it.
Every scouting report says he fills the zone with almost all his offerings, especially his 99-104 mph fastball and slider. His minor league stats show he absolutely throws strikes (2.4 BB/9). There is absolutely nothing indicating this is a thing.
Sure, we have yet to see the Jays blossom, so it's early to say they will overtake the Sox for the foreseeable future, but judging by young talent, and future payroll, you'd be extremely hard-pressed to find anyone outside of Boston say the Sox have a better looking future than the Jays.. Sox are a mess.. Jays have the best young nucleus in the sport along with Padres, Rays and Braves.
Jays will be better in the future but this year I think it is even. Sox have a better offense and Jays have better pitching
This may be true, but the Jays offense have a chance to absolutely explode at any time.
When you have Vlad, Bo, Biggio, Gurriel, Jansen as 5/9 of your order, plus Martin and Groshans coming up, you could have growing pains, or you could be the best offense in baseball. That's a huge ceilingI don’t believe in Biggio yet. Vlad may break out and Bo will be a stud. But we have JD, Devers, the x-man, Vazquez (who did amazing last year), and Benny who might have a bounce back season. Your guys have potential but ours have shown their potential
Don't look past Biggio, he hit for the cycle in his rookie season plus 16 home runs . Not many players can do that in a lifetime let alone a rookie season.
Maybe but I haven’t seen enough and he wasn’t playing amazing in the minors. The average scares me

He might have an average arm but definitely not above average. Most shortstops have a better arm but not as good range. Vlad needs to move to 1st now! Just because he is young doesn’t mean that is the right position! Moving Vlad to first would take all the hate on his defense off of him!

And they could, because they have a perfect stopgap for him in Travis Shaw, who is actually an above average defender at 3B. They have him for arbitration for next year too, which times well with the arrival of Groshans.
I think he will only get one more try at 3B.
