15 rows up right behind home plate for tomorrow's game. Jose signed a one day contract to retire a Jay. We can celebrate one of the most satisfying innings in Jay's history topped off by the flip. Bat flip bobble heads are hot on ebay.

So you literally makes you nauseous and vomit? Yikes I’m sorry to bring them up then man.

My point was - TVR/Peeke are better in my opinion than a 60yr old Gio, Timmins, and Lily. I like the physicality of gio and he was a beast for his career and on the cap he’s at is amazing but I’m not talking cash that’s a GMs job. I’m talking about the actual ability. Both Peeke and TVR are better dmen.
Timmins is a good long shot to acquire and I thought he was a good move by Dubas. But that he will live up to his potential is a maybe. I would much rather have either one than Timmins, Gio, Lily.

Both Peeke/TVR are reliable in tue defensive end, block shots, Peeke is physical, TVR more than Lily and Timmins, and both good pk dmen. That’s what Leafs need to me. TVR can also play both sides.

End of the day though man who knows - maybe Tree will throw up if someone mentions their names as well.

Regarding Timmins, they have to give him a proper look and see what he can do. He was a high draft pick, but ran into injury troubles to start his career. He's a bit older now and has filled out. It's too bad that they didn't get a look at him during the playoffs. He's a big body who can skate and has some offensive upside. His decision making was sometimes suspect, but proper coaching and the right partner could bring the best out of him. Leafs need to stop procrastinating and give him his shot.

Ya man - Timmins is a good long shot to acquire and I thought he was a good move by Dubas. But that he will live up to his potential is a maybe. Just in terms of TVR/Peeke I would much rather have either one than Timmins, Gio, Lily.

He looked good for sure in tue limited minutes he suited up - just think the other 2 are more steady is all I was saying. My brother thinks he deserved more of a look last season as well, especially when Holl/Lily were having so many brain farts. I thought Keefe was a bit too patient with those 2 last season

His cap hit isn't bad. They could still bury his contract if he isn't that great. I think half a season is enough to reevaluate his worth. By January 1st, if he's still average, than put him on waivers.

Agreed man. Frankly I wouldn’t get rid of him - or at least not as a first option. He can either develop to be a solid bottom pair guy or at worst a depth guy for an injury or just a switch up if someone gets too into their own head and needs to watch from up top a couple games

Offensively, yup.
But so does 70% of the team.
Im starting to believe this is what the team is.
Not very good hitters

Varsho still very young. The hitting coach needs to be fired into the sun. Too many key players including Varsho, Vladdy, Kirk and Springer are having career worst seasons. Jays can surely afford a top hitting coach. Watching the Jays swing at poop way off the plate against mediocre pitching says something about their approach. Hittting coach should have been fired months ago
