Last for 2022 anyway. The only team still in Action is Buffalo who, as you read this, might have two or three games remaining – and if anything remarkable happens I’ll add an edit to their sub-section – but all else is done. I’ll try to note here not only the playoff results where applicable…
Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that baseball doesn’t have an ideal term for the non-pitcher part of the roster? You can say “the fielders” but there’s also a DH, you can say “the lineup” but there are bench players, you can say “the offence” but almost every player has to be…
And so the regular season comes to a close for two more Blue Jays farm teams, but never fear – both of them made the playoffs so they yet have a few more games on their schedule.
In contrast to my previous entry in this series regarding the bullpen, I cannot claim that the rotation from the 2022 team is set to carry over largely unaltered to next year with sufficient resources.
Things are winding down for the farm teams at this point – A ball has two more weeks, AA has three, and AAA has about a month to go.
After the random speculation two weeks ago, I think I’m going to have a little series of these speculations about the future as the season enters the home stretch. I’m not unaware of the impression that I’m looking ahead when I should be enjoying the present but the reality is a LOT of folks write…
As we get into the dog days in earnest it feels like there are fewer interesting names to really highlight in a way that gives you much new information. But at least we’re mostly past the point where journeymen like, say, Logan Warmoth, are offering any illusion that they are part of the future.
Inspired by a recent take posted at Fangraphs, I thought I’d go a little deeper into the potential roster movement this winter as the Blue Jays seek to protect their best assets from being lost for nothing.
Now well into the second half, we’re getting a clearer picture of the separation between guys who might be going somewhere and those who are performing like org filler or worse.
At the All-star break (throughout the full season leagues) is not really “halfway home” – we did that two weeks ago – but because it’s unusually late in the month, you can look at performance in July as a decent sample and maybe jumping off to a larger one, but of course, in a few…
As I write today, the MiLB season’s first half is in the books and the end of the month of June just passed. So while I certainly note the high likelihood of repeating myself, it’s a good time to take note of the high-profile guys who took a step back (and those who didn’t) while…
With the minor league seasons roughly a week away from the halfway point in their schedules, we’ve gotten a better data set about who’s building their prospect status and who’s more an organization filler guy.
