Jays 2021/22 General Off-Season Discussion

[Ryu In My House]

What do we do?

Semien wants to play SS, IIRC, so Ray may be the only elite player we can re-sign.

Is Espinal the answer at 3B for now?

Can Kay be a 5th starter?

Is Groshans ready?

I am in favour of realignment, for one. Universal DH for two. Expanded playoffs for three. The CBA discussions will be interesting. I think the MLBPA likes all three of those notions.

Let's start with getting a competent manager.

Hah, no. The 2022 season begins now. Sorry.

Then create a thread that’s titled “Jays Off-season thread” or something. This thread title is reserved whoever the drunkest dipshit is at 12:01 on Jan 1st 2022.

That would be unfortunate and disappointing.

Is Espinal the answer at 3B for now?

No. He is not.

Can Kay be a 5th starter?

Doubtful.

Is Groshans ready?

No. Not yet.

Why Schwarber? I am not a fan, but a lot of you are. What about him works on this roster?

Very good left handed bat, he can play OF, DH and fill in at 1B too.

Dickerson is a FA, and Randal has no place on this roster. Then, yeah, let's get it. We need more lefties.

Now that the pain has worn off (truthfully…it’s the vodka that has worn off, not the pain)…

Step 1 - Fire Montoyo.

The rest should be easy

[Ryu In My House]

Who wants to fire Montoyo?

[Stangstag]

Biggio back to 2B
Espinal and Smith battle for 3B

Agree with all of this except maybe try Gurriel at 3B, or think about signing Kyle Seager.

Vodka hasn’t worn off yet, I had 5 sho5s

I think if you lose Semien, you need to replace him with a high impact position player. I dont think Espinal/Biggio are the answers.

Same goes for Ray, they need to replace him with another top of the rotation guy.

Personally, I would be floating Pearson + Kirk + other futures to replace Semien through trade.

Id bring back Ray.

Fix the BP.

Identify another starter or two that you think you can fix and let them + Stripling and Hatch compete for the 5th starter job.

Replace Montoyo.
