Superior coverage as ever my friend. Exciting notes on Jimenez. I was more lukewarm on protecting him, but those attributes are exactly what the Jays infield needs. A good defensive player with high OBP is a complement to this team. We really don't need more bat first players! And of course Jimenez' power is due to increase in any case.
It would be exciting to get Ray back if the right deal can be struck, but I'm certainly onboard with Berrios jumping to an elite level and Cy Young contention next year. As I read your notes on Ryu the intriguing prospect of starting the season feathering Pearson in to start in his slot on occasion to give him extra rest popped into my mind. I suppose waiting a whole extra rotation might be too much perhaps though.
Thanks man. Yeah, I think that could definitely be an option with Pearson/Ryu, especially with him seemingly likely to log a bunch of innings out of the bullpen.
Maybe? But I think it would be tough to do out of spring training if they bring in two clear big league starters. Once the season gets going performance/health should create an opportunity at some point.

If he gets into the rotation I wonder who goes to the bullpen? If we re-sign Matz I guess it'd have to be him.

Oh, I mean when (and if) he gets there. I don't figure he's starting there to begin the season.
Ahh. Could be Ryu at this rate. 😬
Nah. He's hitting the stacks with Vlady, Cavan, and Kirk this offseason. They're all going to come back ripped. :)
A great read to go along with coffee on a Saturday morning, thank you
Thanks so much!
