The blue Jays have claimed just about everyone the orioles put on waivers since the orioles claimed Tony batista from the jays. Probably just want them to get the orioles ' signs to make it easier to steal them.

I'm really surprised that Oakland and their sub-.500 OPS DH production didn't claim him.

Hopefully he's not expecting too much of a welcome from his new teammates; they seem to still be punch drunk right now, getting destroyed 9-0 by TB. :)

Ha ha ha. I just went over to the Jays forum to see what they said about the Paredes pick-up, and caught this post by Weams (someone earlier in the thread also asked how Parades' D was). Nice one, Weams.

So you guys are going to try and catch us by picking up guys who can't make our team? interesting.

And to answer the question he is one of the worse defenders I've ever laid my eyes on.

This is interesting stuff or sure. I know he was playing some outfield in the rehab assignment and idea how he looked in the OF?

In the real world the O's just don't have any slots. They need Rickard for his defense especially backing up Jones. Reimold is playing well and Kim is rotting on the bench due to salary.

    • Didn't see today's game in it's entirety but I will say this.  I feel 100% more confident with Mateo playing second and turning  a DP rather than JH right now.  JH will be fine there.  In time.   But even forgetting his hitting, D wise he just isn't there yet.   And yes I know the metrics say he is fine.  But to me, using the eye test, he looked very shaky fielding and throwing,
    • I like Kevin.  He is constantly improving.  My only beef is that he doesn't seem to understand that a foul ball isn't always out of play.   A ball can be hit foul, but still be in the field of play. 
    • My preferred day 3 WR would have been Troy Franklin, but he apparently had a bad combine on positional drills (which might have been because he had the flu.)  And he got picked by Denver pretty early.   Devontez Walker is kind of intriguing.  He's 6'2", barely.   A bit on the skinny side but ran in the mid-4.3s.  His route tree is pretty limited, mostly short quickouts/slants and go/post routes. But he's really good at the deep routes.  Sort of a discount DK.  He's reported to have good hands and good deep ball tracking ability as well.  We have to see how that translates in the pro game.
    • Adley looks way more energized and McCann is veteran catcher who is good defensively and handles the pitchers well.  Doesn't really make sense to wear Adley out when the O's are using him at the top of the lineup. 
    • Just seems like a more controlled swing from the right side, shorter, flatter.
    • He was signed in the Covid year when they only had a 5 round draft, which is why he was undrafted.  Was showing promise bur tore his UCL in 2022.  Pitched a little last year, this is his first full year back.  Nice to see the good outing.  
    • What's up with Brandon Young? Out of nowhere (#30 prospect above... undrafted?) he goes 3 IP with 0 hits or walks, and 7 Ks, throwing an otherworldly 26 of 31 pitches for strikes, in Bowie's game today.
