Jays maintain interest in Brett Anderson

Colby on a good extension definitely.

 

That's definitely the key. Without knowing what Colby is asking for I wouldn't do it but, I'm expecting Colby to get paid this summer. On a team friendly deal Colby > Phillips.

If I'm trading Rasmus it would have to be for a starter .

 

I would also say Rasmus+Goins >than Phillips +Gose

Probably.

 

It's also Rasmus + Gose as insurance + Goins. And the Jays would have a few more millions in the 2014 budget to throw at some middle infield scuzzbutt like Kelly Johnson.

The key here is that AA needs to use the FA market this off-season. He doesn't have the assets to trade for a contender without utilizing the FA market. Even if AA were to land a Phillips or Anderson he needs to add quite a bit more in order to actually contend.

I wouldn't mind having Kelly Johnson back and sharing 2B duties with Goins. For $2-3 million, he can definitely be a nice add.

Both are lefty bats though.

It will be interesting to see because AA has never been one to sign big name free agents. Even last offseason, everything was through trade. I think his biggest FA signing was Maicer at 3 years lol.

Yeah forgot about that, plus the Jays have Maicer occupying a roster spot. Having Goins in Triple A as insurance wouldn't be the worst thing. A tandem of Johnson and Maicer at second wouldn't be that bad. As much as I dislike Maicer, he shouldn't be this bad again in 2014.

[The_DH]

I'm just afraid that he's needed at short for 100 games.

Goins isn't really a bat, just a glove.

AA must be nuts...think he would learn from past trading for injured arm pitchers

[oakville69]

I thought AA was going to stay away from former injured players?

 

AA likes his injury prone bargains like Brandon Morrow, Josh Johnson
