Re: 2022 - 2023 Hot Stove Thread
With the real construction pics slowly coming out (as opposed to just referencing a 3d model), an interesting insight I heard about the Jays OF moves is how the new wall dimensions will impact things.
Literally nobody except their management (and construction people, and I'd imagine MLB officials since they'd probably have to approve it) know what the official dimensions will be.
But based on the real pics, it doesn't look like anyone's gonna be making over the wall type of catches, or hitting "line drive home runs", although the wall has been brought in too.
So there could be more balls going off the walls, which would require a better defensive OF to handle that. And also the analytics would tell you how guys might fare with a new wall dimension to deal with for 81 games a season. Varshos spray chart over the new Rogers Centre seems to indicate he'd be a guy who would fare real well there.
