My remark wasn’t limited to starting pitching. The Jays have also added Springer and Semien and Yates and Chatwood. The Jays lineup will club our pitchers like baby seals.
Ben knows Jack s*** about pitching. His record with pitching is awful. But keep making excuses for a GM who has perfected last place finishes.
When did Aaron Judge go that draft? That was a good pick. He also passed on Austin Meadows and Tim Anderson.
Balls failure was on Ball. The failure in evaluating him was 100% on Ben. The pick was considered questionable at best at the time. You don’t draft a project with the #7 overall.
Porcello at $21 million per year was no great deal. He had 3 complete stinker years, 1 so-so season and 1 excellent season.
Badenhop? I am not sure that I would want that at the top of my resume.
2 good moves in 4 years, and they only gave Koji the closer job after 2 other pigs (Hanrahan and Bailey) went down. He left the organization with almost no worthwhile pitching at any level.
I think you are experiencing some COVID vaccine induced euphoria. This roster can’t compete with the Yankees or Blue Jays. At best we are competing with the Rays (who have gutted their rotation) and the Orioles for 3rd place.
Does this mean that you are throwing in the towel on Matt Hall, Kyle Hart, Colton Brewer, Marcus Walden and Jeffrey Springs. They are stacked with arms!
