Jays and Rays discussing a trade involving Encarnacion and Price??

[Nox]

If I did, it must've been muddied in with the argument I had with Kofi about being used as a FT UTIL player at multiple positions. Link up the trade talk before his monster season, because I 100% remember wanting to use him as a FT Super UTIL.

 

I meant before 2011 (his biggest season) but after his excellent 2010. Should have clarified.

[GeorgiaPeach]

They signed Longoria well into his 30s. Zobrist isn't young. Molina is fat AND old.

 

So you're not a fan of what the Rays do?

 

Oh I am a fan of what they're doing.

[GeorgiaPeach]

I dunno, Brady had those awesome sideburns.

 

I guess at the time he was baseball's version of Luke Perry.

Passan

Nationals are shopping infielder Danny Espinosa, who also could fill utility role vacated by Steve Lombardozzi if he stays in Washington

 

Espinosa should be acquired to play second base. He's going to come super cheap and could easily post a 2-3 WAR next season. He'd provide great value.

Ahahahahaha

Trumbo to AZ gives me a DDL boner.

 

Where would Trumbo play though? Goldy is locked at 1B. They have Davidson at 3B, and likely could only use Prado between left and 3B.

Ahahahahaha

 

Pretty weird.

Pretty weird.

 

So if I called for Bautista to be moved after his initial big year and he had a bigger year in 2011, who cares? OMG, I didn't see a bigger year coming????

 

Lets end this. I hope the Jays keep Bautista until he's 40. He can retire at the Winter Meetings....Jays fans can have a little cry and everything will be right again as whispers of JB's non-HOF career get bandied about.

 

Sound about rite?

Edwin is worth about twice as much as Price.

Why do you always assume that when someone wants to keep an asset it must in some way be tied to emotion. Sometimes it's simply the right decision.

Well spending much of the day having ceramic tile shards spraying in your face does something to your mood. Glad you're getting enjoyment out of it.

I second that, really well written.

[G-Snarls]

My initial reaction to hearing that the Jays are conducting trade negotiations these days is abject terror.

 

Prepare to be afraid all week

I just walked past my (unread) copy of "The extra 2%" and noticed that Jonah Keri wrote. Hadn't realized.

How dare you put the ECJF curse to use here. How dare you.

 

RIP njh. I suspect he'll degrade into Stoeten lite within the month now.

First that, then I'll move to Japan for some reason.

[ElNik2013]

I cringe every time there's a Jays trade rumor and given this one is with the Rays, I'd expect EE+Sanchez+Stroman+DJ Davis for Price or something like this.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Wilner prob in a full sweat right now. Mikey I can smell ya from here bud.

[TheHurl]

who the f*** schedules exams on Baseball winter meetings week. So much to say...so little knowledge of what is going on.

 

Go Rays!

[Holden Caulfield]

The problem with using advanced metrics to value players is that it assumes that all general managers make decisions the same way.

[admin]

RIP NJH.

Waiting for my email telling me NJH signed on with a newspaper out of Japan.

[L54]

This rumor is so much derp. If AA actually did this deal, I'd seriously have trouble watching this team unless they signed Choo or until he was fired.
