Well, now it's off-season time for Toronto. Kiss Saunders, Bautista and Encarnacion and half of their BP goodbye

Right now here's what they look like:

C - Russell Martin

1B - ???

2B - Devon Travis

3B - Josh Donaldson

SS - Troy Tulowitzki

LF - Darrell Cecilliani?

CF - Kevin Pillar

RF - Ezequiel Carrera

DH - ???

C2 - Josh Thole

IF - Ryan Goins?

OF - Dalton Pompey

SP - Aaron Sanchez

SP - J.A. Happ

SP - Marco Estrada

SP - Marcus Stroman

SP - ???

CL - Roberto Osuna

RP - Joe Biagini

RP - Aaron Loup

RP - Ryan Tepera

RP - ???

Martin is over the hill and Tulo is close to it. Travis has a lot of promise but only Donaldson is a real threat on the whole team. Even the bench doesn't look good. Conversely, the starting pitching still looks pretty solid, and Osuna + Biagini are a good-not-great back end of the pen.

There's work to do, and I expect the team to make a few signings... we'll have to see who they get and what prospects get promoted.

    • They’ve added a handful of additional receivers in the UDFA class https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/rumor-mill-ravens-undrafed-free-agent-tracker-2024-nfl  
    • 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.
