Blue Jays Discussion: Alright, no more discontent. Just baseball | ST in Mtl: StL @ Tor | Mar 26/27 7pm ET/4pm PT

[The Nemesis]

Hadn't realized there was another tv game so soon. Travis, happ, Sanchez among those expected to play today though it's a split squad game apparently.

 

[Starry Knight]

This lineup is pretty close to a regular season lineup

 

[Walshy7]

do you have the lineup anywhere? cant find it.

Also any chance bichette or guerrero jr get games this spring?

 

[TF97]

Diaz doing his best Revere impression on that throw to the plate.

 

[Starry Knight]

granderson, pillar, grichuk, solarte, diaz, travis, smoak, martin, with donaldson as dh

 

[hockeywiz542]

 

[TF97]

Absolute steal for the Twins.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Is no one other in need of Morales? Or do the Jays don't want to move him? We really need the roster flexibility so we can rotate guys through the DH spot.

No one will want him. Get use to him for the two years left on his deal

I am still hopeful then that Gibby will not be afraid to bench Morales some games in order to give Travis, Donaldson, Tulo, Smoak, days off from the field on a regular basis.

I was surprised to see him still on the market

 

[habamillions]

I like the gamble and bounce back candidate with Seung Hwan Oh

He kind of imploded last season..

Apparently he has some elbow inflammation he's dealing with as of Feb 18th.

 

[TF97]

Not a bad signing. Not sure how well he’ll perform in the AL East given his flyball tendencies, but he was dominant in 2016 and average last season. He still has to pass a physical, which is easier said than done given his recent history.

I was hoping for Clippard as the veteran RHP addition for the bullpen, but there is much more upside to Oh should he return to anywhere near his rookie year. Can’t say I’m overly optimistic about that though.

 

[phillipmike]

Great! I really wanted Oh... 1 year worth 2M with a vesting option for 2019. Was a 2.6 WAR pitcher in 2016. He was more or less the same pitcher from a velocity perspective but his out was pitch was his slider which was one of the best in 2016 and not effective at all in 2017. Solid RHP in the pen...

Another St. Louis Cardinal added: Diaz, Grichuk, Axford, Garcia and now Oh.

Hopefully Diaz, Grichuk and Oh can give us some 2016 production and Axford and Garcia can give us some 2015 production or 2011 if i want to be greedy.

Toronto Blue Jays: Could Seung-hwan Oh be a bargain?

 

[TF97]

One of the games better offensive players over the past season and a half just signed for half of the guaranteed money that Mitch Moreland signed for earlier in the offseason.

Nonsense.

[Brown Dog]

Oh baby!

Blue Jays reach agreement with right-hander Seung-hwan Oh - Sportsnet.ca

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Well that's fun. Always enjoyed the nickname "the final boss".

Velo was the same last year as his 2016 across the board. Looks like his secondary offerings are what gave him issues as they all got hit pretty hard. The fastball remained valuable. Seems like a decent bounce back candidate.

Ok so the Rangers passed on him because of a suspect MRI and we're not?

'disconcerting issues' with his right-arm should be disconcerting for us too:

Reports: Rangers won't add ex-Cards closer Oh

Meh. Its a reliever on a one year contract.

Not like its their #2 starter (Tanaka $22M / Price $30M) with the disconcerting elbow concerns.

 

[Anthrax442]

I like the Final Boss nickname. So badass.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Gold from Sporer.

Lots of decent potential backup catchers (including Hermann, Perez, Swihart\Leon), and some other decent names that could be trade candidates. Still love the idea of somehow acquiring Brad Peacock.

Awesome nickname.

Though here he might have to be known as "Penultimate Boss."
