Good evening everyone, 

I noticed that we were working on an outdated thread, so I figured I'd get a fresh one going here. 

Lots going on with the Jays these days, and plenty to write about. As always, if you need help coming up with ideas or anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to Tyson and/or myself. 

Otherwise, have a great weekend!

Hey guys,

Did someone already touch on Kikuchi?

Was wondering if I can put together an evaluation piece on him!

Good morning,

I’d like to do an article on Biggio and how going back to 2B puts him back in his comfort zone.  Expecting bigger things, but failure could see him on the outside looking in.  I’ve seen articles about Biggio so let me know if this is a different angle to write about.

Is anyone writing up on the Pete Walker DUI arrest and how it will test the Jays “zero tolerance” policy that was implemented in the cases of Osuna and Alomar? 

Should he be fired? Who replaces him? 

Can I explore that?

Hey gang,

I sent an email yesterday, but I don't think it went through, so my apologies if this is essentially the same email twice.

I was hoping to do a piece looking at what Santiago Espinal's role with the team could look like this year. I'd likely be able to finish it before the end of the day. Lmk if I'm good to go with that idea!

The idea itself is fine, but I would approach it from the viewpoint of candidates to replace similar to how Charles talks on the subject towards the end of his article. Since Charles covered the area pretty well in presenting the facts, approaching from a viewpoint of candidates for replacement may be the best route otherwise it won’t necessarily be new information we are presenting, especially since it is still a work in progress from a legal standpoint.

Let me know if that makes sense.

I will back off the idea for now out of respect to the legal process and his not guilty plea. People have been run out of town for a lot less but regardless there is a process and I will hold off.

Is there an article or 2 I could in the meantime while I think of my next piece?

 Sure can Brent! Few ideas off the top of my head:

  • predicting the roster after the latest round of MiLB cuts
  • 3/5 breakout candidates for the season
  • Predicting which players on MiLB contracts could break camp (they have two spots open on the 40-man)
  • Those who used Spring Training to their advantage (overall organization wise, not just active roster)
  • Predicting the Opening Weekend starting rotation given the way Sprinng Training is being laid out right now
  • How the AAA rotation in Buffalo appears to be shaping up
Let me know if any of those seems appealing!

If you want no slideshow pieces:

  • Is Gausmans second half of 2021 cause for concern?
  • Can Gosuke Katoh break camp with Lopez heading to the MiLB roster?
  • Looking at Matt Chapman steamer projections for 2022
  • Promotions and scheduled events to keep an eye on for the 2022 season
  • The benefits of playing a full season at Rogers Centre

Hey Gang,

So last week, JJ came in third in the division and gathered 381K views. Top-notch everyone! JJ also passed February's view count and we could hit 1.5 million before the end of the month.

We currently stand at 93 articles with Miguel's slotting in at 94, and we really want to get to that 100 mark over the next two days. If you are looking to write but are unsure on a topic, feel free to reach out to Chris and I and we can brainstorm some ideas!

    1. Can Adam Cimber and Trevor Richards replicate their 2021 campaigns?
    2. Where does Lourdes Gurriel Jr. fit in the batting order?
    3. Will this be the season Danny Jansen figured it out at the plate?
    4. Will the Jays still carry Reese McGuire after the 28-man rosters go back to 26 in May?

    Thank you for the kind words Chris. We here at JJ have a great team, and I can say that it’s the teamwork amongst us all that has gotten us to this point. 

    That being said, we are just four articles short of our goal here. Let’s finish up strong and go past and set a high standard that the rest of division has to follow.

    Good evening,

    I know it's getting late but I'm hoping for some help. I'm all ready to post my article and the checklist has a red exclamation point! I'm not able to click that box or submit and the checklist is 6/7 completed. What do  I do?

    Help!

    Thanks!

    Afternoon All,

    The numbers are in for the month of March:

    1. 1.387 Million Views (2nd across all MLB FanSided sites)
    2. 101 Articles (broke the 100 mark, one of the only sites to do so)
    3. Seven contributors write 4+ articles this month

    This is awesome to see everyone! As the only Canadian MLB site, JJ is doing a fantastic job of ranking against sites that cover larger market teams and that is great to see as it benefits all of us in the end.

    That being said, April is coming up and Opening Day is right around the corner. Let's keep writing and filling the schedule so we can keep ranking amongst the other sites.

     Sure can Brent! Few ideas off the top of my head:

     

    • predicting the roster after the latest round of MiLB cuts
    • 3/5 breakout candidates for the season
    • Predicting which players on MiLB contracts could break camp (they have two spots open on the 40-man)
    • Those who used Spring Training to their advantage (overall organization wise, not just active roster)
    • Predicting the Opening Weekend starting rotation given the way Sprinng Training is being laid out right now
    • How the AAA rotation in Buffalo appears to be shaping up

    Let me know if any of those seems appealing!

    I will back off the idea for now out of respect to the legal process and his not guilty plea. People have been run out of town for a lot less but regardless there is a process and I will hold off.

     

    Is there an article or 2 I could in the meantime while I think of my next piece?

    The idea itself is fine, but I would approach it from the viewpoint of candidates to replace similar to how Charles talks on the subject towards the end of his article. Since Charles covered the area pretty well in presenting the facts, approaching from a viewpoint of candidates for replacement may be the best route otherwise it won’t necessarily be new information we are presenting, especially since it is still a work in progress from a legal standpoint.

     

    Let me know if that makes sense.

    Yes I can see that now. I haven’t gotten very far yet but I could make it more like how the recent moves affects the depth of the roster and questions like who is Collins? Can Springer stay healthy for the whole season? Will Pearson’s illness mean he won’t have a spot once healthy? How many infielders will they keep once rosters shrink in May? Things like that, would that be ok?

    Hey gang,

    Opening Day is tomorrow! Was thinking of going an article to go out tomorrow that would showcase some bold predictions from the JJ staff for the upcoming season.

    Would need anybody who is interested to shoot me their predication and a quick paragraph or two related to the prediction. I know it’s a bit late, so if it doesn’t gain traction I’ll scrap it but it would be cool to get a few in there.

    Let’s hear them!

    Blue Jays predictions mostly (ex: Matt Chapman wins platinum glove, bichette wins RBi total) but would also go for Blue Jays record predictions like win season series against Red Sox, Yankees etc.

    Hey Tyson,

    I don't know if it's too late for me to submit a bold protection for the piece, but I'd definitely be interested in submitting one. Probably would be Bo Bichette related.

    Beauty, I'll get right on that! Should I just type it like I would a normal article? Obviously it would only be a couple paragraphs, though.

    Okay, will do! I'm just finishing up my Adam Cimber piece from earlier this week, and then I'll get right on the Bichette prediction. Will definitely have it to you by tonight.
