Great game, Källgren is so calm in net, and covers his positions at the top of the blue paint. Hope this kid pans out 🤞🏻

I’m a little disappointed that there are no trolls around to “ just talk hockey” 🤷🏼‍♂️

#BlueJays fans will enjoy watching Matt Chapman play third base. He was a 99th percentile defender based on outs above average last year. Consistently excellent by

' metrics. Gold Gloves 3 of last 4 seasons



Adding to this..for 3B
Since 2017 chapmans rookie season, he has 48 OAA (outs above average) which is #2, by a mile (Ramirez #2 at 21)
Arenado #1 with 59

Chapman led 3b last season with 17 OAA

Understand he's good defensively, the strikeouts, BA and OBP suck balls though.

good defensively is underselling it. best 3b in the league or at least #2

if he falls somewhere between 2019 and 2021 seasons with his bat, thats fine.
still getting a 4-5 WAR player

From shi

"Also hearing pessimism about Blue Jays chances of landing Kyle Schwarber. Sounds like he might be headed elsewhere."

Looks like all the hype the past several days and the jays may only get chapman.

Hopefully not, and theres still another big deal out there

Worth remembering that Chapman finished 2020 playing with a torn labrum in his right hip, which required surgery that Sept.

Could certainly have contributed to his results at the plate since. And Chapman made up for quality of contact dip with a career-high walk rate in '21.

With the benefit of more time to heal, fresh coaching, and a huge upgrade in offensive environment from Oakland to Toronto, Blue Jays would be betting Chapman can address contact issues, get back to something approaching 2018-19 levels when he was an MVP candidate.

Makes the Jay considerably better defensively than putting Vladdy at 3rd and Freeman at 1st. Wonder if the Jays are still in on Schwarber?

If he went into those woods, you can forget about him.
