Ackley should have already been a blue jay. Problem is that AA is looking at pitching and not paying attention to anything else. The f***ing idiot has no idea how to improve our team.

Gimme, gimme!

 

Assuming Mariners will hold on to Montero for 1B/DH

 

There must be something we can do for ackley or franklin

 

Smoak might be able to put up 30+ bombs at the rogers center but not relevant for us

Yep

 

Since AA is not seemingly likely to get a quality SP this week he should get Franklin or sign Infante

 

GET SOMETHING DONE

Posted
wow! Mariners just made things interesting

 

Start the Smoak or Montero rumors

 

Yeah, because Smoak and Montero are so interesting...

Posted
If we don't get one of Franklin or Ackley, then I really don't know what the f*** AA is doing.

 

That's a rather narrow-minded view. They aren't the only second basemen to be had.

This offseason as Jays fan, any move is interesting

 

That being said I'd take Montero but it's not happening

Unbelievable that he broadcast that a few weeks ago... On the Ninja station with material generated for the casual fans... especially the number one casual Paul Beeston. Easily digestable on coffee break from the Loblaws board meeting,

I will take Smoak over Lind all day long.

 

He could put up 30+ easily in the rogers centre

 

Reminds me of JP but he actually walks

haha. For the love of god, we were all making jokes about the M's just saying f*** it and signing a bunch of random bats, throwing them all over the diamond..and that's exactly what they did this off season

Called it from the start.

 

Going into the offseason they needed 1 solid starter, 2 solid outfielders.. instead they got a great 2B in a position they were already solid in, and 2 more 1B/Dh when they already had 3

 

lol

 

Lots more from them coming though... I would hope

Posted
Well now they have a good 2B to trade and two 1B/DH's. They could flip those for at least two decent OF'ers and there are plenty of good pitchers available. They are this off season's Blue Jays, haha.

Really now? You guys would take Smoak over Lind?

 

Smoak was a top 15 prospect in baseball but he's freaking 27 already. His window to break out is getting small.

 

Why exactly should we trade pieces for a guy that is nearly similar (but inferior) to Lind?

 

For what? Control?

 

I don't know how his numbers would look like in the RC (please provide an overlay if you can) but the cost to acquire him for such a minute upgrade is not smart.

For starters, we wouldn't have to bench him every time we play a lefty.

Smoak had similar or worse stats against lefties when compared to Lind.

Posted
Well if we aren't competing then its better to take a chance on an unknown commodity with big upside

 

'Take a chance' is a good way to gloss over the fact that we would have to be sending players of quality to Seattle to replace Adam Lind with another Adam Lind.
