Blue Jays scouts attendance at Petco Park for Edinson Volquez

[Anemic0ffense]

Isn't Murphy brutal at 2B though? Like Boni brutal?

[jaysblue]

I like Murphs bat, though defensively he's not the ideal player I'd want at second base.

2013 Murphy -2DRS

[The_DH]

Yeah who cares how fast you run back to the dugout.

[Metallijay]

Let's sacrifice a chicken.

[jaysblue]

I doubt they were looking at Volquez. He would be an awful fit in the AL East.

 

Maybe Chase Headley or Forsythe. Andrew Cashner would be a nice target, though doubt the Padres move him with the way he has been pitching this season.

Andrew Cashner = Rizzo = Lawrie lol

[GD]

Headley would be an excellent target, already at 2 WAR and has a .332 OBP, but only if we could sign him to an extension. An IF of Headley/Reyes/Lawrie/EE/Lind is downright motherf***ing sexy. I'm weary of the cost, though.

 

But seriously, we're not actually going after Edinson Volquez, are we? Oh geez.

[jaysblue]

Yeah, the price tag for Cashner would be quite high especially since he's been great this year out of the rotation.

 

I doubt the Jays are interested in Volquez, unless they plan on flipping him in a three way deal haha. The only guys that make sense are Headley or Forsythe. Grandal would be nice as well, though not sure the Padres would move him (though they do have Hedges). Give them JPA (a big power bat) in a deal for Grandal lol. It's a dream.

[HASHTAGYOLOSWAG]

What makes any of you think San Diego will be sellers? All of you are dumn.

I think Headley would be expensive in a trade however, based on what he did last year offensively especially. Likely looking at something around Sanchez or Gose + I would have to think.

[Chappy]

If AA does indeed try to address 2B, D needs to be the primary focus and then go from there. No point in adding another bat that can't field. This lineup is strong enough, we need a better defender.

[KSaw]

If you can get Chase Headley at a good price, you can definitely move Lawrie to second.

 

Headley is a player the Padres would like to keep. He's looking at about 6-years/$100mm. San Diego have also indicated that if he were to be traded they'd expect more than what they got for Mat Latos.

I haven't watched much of Forsythe. How is his defence?

Nick Hundley is the guy

[jaysblue]

What makes any of you think San Diego will be sellers? All of you are dumn.

 

Right now, I doubt they are sellers since things in the NL West are close. Though if they fall out of it near the end of July, they likely will. I doubt they move Headley unless they are blown away by an offer. Perhaps they move some outfield pieces/utility players or BP arms or a vet starter like Marquis.

[KSaw]

At least. Try Lawrie + Gose + Stroman.

[jaysblue]

At least. Try Lawrie + Gose + Stroman.

 

If the asking price for Headley is crazy, Lawrie + is likely a guy they'd want back since they would need a 3B back (though they do have Gyroko). Likely not worth it from the Jays perspective and I don't think they would do it.

[Chappy]

I haven't watched much of Forsythe. How is his defence?

 

Not really sure, haven't seen enough of him to have a valid opinion. Unless his D is +, he probably isn't worth trading for with a non-relevant bat.

[Chappy]

Moving Lawrie would be pointless. He is still cheap and plays plus D. His bat has been a disappointment, but he still has a lot of value for this team. I wouldn't even entertain moving him right now. Maybe in a couple years when he starts to get expensive.

Them wanting more than what they got for Latos for a player who will be wearing pinstripes in 2015 makes it not worth it.

It *is* possible Izturis or Kawasaki could be just that. Izturis has looked better and better as the year goes on. With everyday playing and moving back to 2B when Lawrie is back he could actually be OK.

I wouldn't mind seeing what Kawasaki can do at 2B. Maybe option him to the minors and have him play 10 games or so at 2B to see what he can do?

 

If Kawasaki can play 2B at an MLB average level defensively, and keep providing a solid OBP and working the s*** out of pitch counts, that is pretty good.

100%

 

And I still believe his bat will be at least league average. (Used to think would be well above average but no longer see that as likely)

 

Elite defender

Average hitter

Above average speed

 

That's a good player for 500k

 

But he needs to mature and stop getting hurt so much as well.

[IronLadle]

Lawrie + for Headley no way, I wouldn't trade Lawrie straight up for Headley at this point. We love undervaluing our own players and overvaluing everybody else on here.

[KSaw]

-Nate Schierholtz and Matt Garza from the Cubs

 

-Michael Young from the Phillies

 

Nolin, Rogers, Sierra and someone with upside who hasn't done much like Thon to the Cubs would work. Rogers has more value next year when he'll be ready to go more than 100-120 innings.

 

Bonifacio is liked in Philly. The can have him, along with Delabar and done.

2 bags of my poop for Volquez

 

clear overpay bro

This here. I wouldn't give up much for Headley. He's had 1 good year? And is soon turning 30. And has been bad this year.

have you noticed that Bumfiasco has been putting in a better effort lately? dude has to know his s*** wont fly. he's played just good enough to keep AA buying into AA's hype about Boni being the deal breaker. (face palm)

We're all speaking in hypotheticals here. If we were gonna trade an SP for whatever reason, I'd like JJ for Hedges, but that probably gets turned down.

I'd give Gose, not Sanchez.

 

At least. Try Lawrie + Gose + Stroman.
