Walker's an FA after the season, as are the other acquisitions (excluding Vogelbach).

Villar is competent offensively, runs well although he has been thrown out more than usual this season.
If only they also focused on catcher. Jansen/Maguire is a gaping lineup hole. We better keep what catching prospects we've got.

Nurse is below average at best.
Masai is overrated.
I dont get how so many people believe in the raptors,they have zero to chance to win it all.

It looks like this front office is acquiring players they believe they can “fix”. It hasn’t worked out with Drury and McKinney, but it certainly looks to have worked with Teo and Randal. If they can convert on half of these types that will work out pretty good.

On the flip side, if you're the offspring of a former MLB player aren't you pretty much a shoe-in for MLB success with the Jays?

I mean, if we’re getting this years Grichuk and Hernandez with 2 of 4 dice rolls, that’s absurd.

But even if he's just used as a utility player he can pinch-run and backup OF so we don't have to play Fisher or Alford.

Alford is no longer a Jay
