GDT(4/4): Toronto Blue Jays @ Atlanta Braves - Dickey vs. Minor - 7:10 PM ET

[Cello]

I don't get the rogers trade at all, relievers like rogers are a dime a dozen, heck we got better in AAA.

 

1. Rogers = good publicity or free promotion for the parent company if Esmil succeeds

2. AA loves Esmil's live arm

[Metallijay]

Even the Snider for Lincoln deal was a head scratcher...

 

AA has a fetish for below average relievers? Just don't understand it.

[theblujay]

Aw... then who? LaCava? I think I read somewhere that he's really into advanced metrics, but then again he is AA's right hand man.

 

If this turns into a Marlins situation, AA's got to be fired RIGHT?

 

The Marlins record last year on May 30th? 29-22

[Deadpool]

I know Lind was a poor defender in left, but you can't tell me he'd do any worse than Melky on that play.

starters too

 

remember JO-JO Reyes?

The Marlins record last year on May 30th? 29-22

 

f***, is that true?

[leaffie]

thank you, I was racking my brain trying to remember his name. Now that was the worst.

[fatcowxlive]

Add in the Izturis signing and missing on Grilli because he wanted three years.

 

Grilli + Aviles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rogers + Izturis

Same $$

 

Now you're making me feel worse

[DH12]

Now lincoln can't throw a strike man what a team

[digiblader]

Remember, a lot of teams wanted Dickey, not just the Jays. Texas was rumored--just be glad they didn't get him, or Oakland's in 1st place right now. Remember, the Mets wanted to trade him because they felt they couldn't afford him, especially with a rebuild.

 

Travis D'Arnaud is not a sure thing--he's on the DL in Vegas right now. Noah Syndegaard is a long ways away--he's only in high-A ball. Mike Aviles is only playing because Lonnie Chisenhall still hasn't developed yet in Cleveland--and Aviles' numbers are a small sample size.

[dmrich28]

oh good. we have Jenkins throwing tomorrow...never ends

[theblujay]

f***, is that true?

 

Yep, they had just finished a 3 game sweep of the Nats

[JFD]

you guys are forgetting all the good moves AA made, like when he.. haha just kidding

[fatcowxlive]

oh good. we have Jenkins throwing tomorrow...never ends

 

Jenkins ain't that bad

[theblujay]

oh good. we have Jenkins throwing tomorrow...never ends

 

I'll take Jenkins over this washed up disaster.

This is how I picture the Snider negotiations (lovingly paraphrased from an excellent Simpsons episode):

 

Now before we negotiate, I have to tell you I'm desperate to unload [snider], and I'll take any offer. -- Homer Simpson

[TheHurl]

someone on the board needs to tell me if it's worth getting out of my ice bath to watch this game...my old body needs the ice so much more than I need to watch the game right now.

[fatcowxlive]

LOL Arencibia

[digiblader]

Yeah.. then things went to pot in June.

[Dylan]

Dickey for our top prospects, snider for this shitshow and all these other bs moves so far since the season has started.

 

Consider me officially boarding the fire AA wagon!

[JFD]

JP s*** the bed again

[dmrich28]

[DH12]

First 2 years were perfect, then his magic ran out.
