#BlueJays claimed Brent Morel off waivers from the #WhiteSox, according to @DanHayesCSN. That's seven.

There's GOLD in that thar waiver wire. GOLD I tell ya!!

[Angrioter]

Watch out Lawrie, Morel is here

... to be called up from Buffalo every time you get hurt

[G-Snarls]

again, I like that we have more depth in the minors available to fill in when people get hurt. However, starting roster really hasn't improved 1iota since the end of the season. We need more.

I think morel has a chance to challenge Sierra for that right handed bat coming off the bench role. He can play 1st or DH against lefties

Yeah i don't even think sierra is in the conversation right now, he can't help as defender and that's a problem.

The kid can't hit; AAA depth

[HERPDERP]

I wonder how it feels for the player knowing you are trying so desperately hard to make it to the bigs, but you have a stud player blocking you at the MLB level.

 

And even if you do hit well, people write you off as a fluke or AAAA player.

[G-Snarls]

LOL extra hard

The one bonus is it'll prevent people from whining about depth ....unless its one of those posters that thinks we should have MLB regulars down in Buffalo

His bat is like 30% below league average.

 

2012

.194 wOBA, 11 wRC+

The playoffs will be easy to make.

[Laika]

Morel is one of those players that just look like they're using a fungo bat in the big leagues. Not happening.

... for the Buffalo Bisons

Simple depth move, nothing more, nothing less.

AA will probably send him through waivers right away anyways since this, once again puts the Jays at a full 40 man roster.

[xposbrad]

162-0 here we come

If Alex doesn't improve the bench Sierra is definitely in the conversation as he's out of options, has taken reps at first and center in the DWL. Don't be surprised. I shutter at the thought of him defensively.

 

Lol, if I recall correctly, didn't Gibbons say he had a hard time seeing Sierra getting playing time at first?

The funny thing is him taking reps at 1B........and CF????

 

How does that make sense?

Smells like trade bait inflation to me

[Chappy]

At some point AA will have to move a few pieces to clear the logjam of players without options. That type of roster inflexibility needs to be addressed.

I have this fairly irrational hope that he can turn a couple relievers and other expendable pieces into a front-of-the-rotation starter.

I had a more rational thought that he will include Stroman and Sanchez.

Sure, sure, drag me back into the real world.

But in all seriousness, if he could flip a few for some prospects that would be fine. Knowing AA, he will just flip Sierra for a reliever. If he controls all the reliever he then controls the market. Sneaky Greek f***er.

Maybe he'll just go with 2 or 3 starters and a crapload of relievers each going 2 innings.

He's already doing that with Happ and Rogers in the rotation.
