Aledmys Diaz scouted by Blue Jays and others today.

at what point do the blue jays stop wasting money sending scouts to see players they never intend on paying for?

 

 

At the point when the owner says so. And this point will be when they don't make money and/or they're getting tons of bad PR. Basically, that's how it is.

Apparently, the Yankees think Diaz at SS or 2B is a nightmare, as they will not be offering him a contract.

 

Here's an article about Diaz from the Cardinals blog on SB Nation, which is equally as skeptical about him:

Diaz's deal with Cards worth $8M over 4 yrs - Aledmys Diaz

Upside seems to be back up SS/2b. Jays already have enough people in play for that spot.

In all honesty, if the Cards see something in him than I'm pretty much convinced the Jays should have signed him. The Cards just seem to recognize something in unsexy talent that other team's don't.

They have a good system of developing talent and scouting. I was thinking the same. If it was the dodgers or anyone else, I wouldn't have cared as much.

The sports gut has no credibility. he'd have a hard time answering "what time is it" AA:well, we've been looking at it and we're feeling really good about where we are. the minute hand is standing out at this point, because he ended up on top last year, but we will know more by opening day.

The Jays couldn't develop a disease sleeping all winter naked in a leper colony.
