Post a positive comment about the 2014 Toronto Blue Jays

Let this be a thread for positivity only. Put your rose colored glasses on. What do you like about this team? What is this team good at?

 

I’ll start:

 

We have Jose Reyes.

[NorthOf49]

I like that we have Brenden Kalfus coming up in the minor leagues. Man can that kid play. He's the future of the team!

[HERPDERP]

-We have one of the top 5 best bullpens in the AL

-We have a 1B stud slugger on a cheap contract.

[ExposFan]

We have Mike Wilner in the booth. I admire his fair-minded approach to baseball.

I really like the Kratz aquisition. Lincoln wasn't really useful and the extra depth behind Navarro will be useful. It seems like he'll be given a chance to catch Dickey and flat out beat Thole for the backup spot which is also good news.

We have a stud defender at 2B who projects to be as good as Brandon Phillips.

I’ll start:

 

We have Jose Reyes.

 

I believe Ryan Goins will put up a .305 on base percentage and 1 or 2 WAR based on defense.

 

If Brett Lawrie is healthy he will be as good as Kelly Gruber 88 to 90.

 

Stroman may well be the greatest pitcher as short or shorter then himself of all time (depending on Tom Gordon's exact official height to the 1/10 inch).

 

If Hutchison is healthy he could be really good. Was better (statistically) then Stroman until his TJ. He is 6'2" so the short-people haters can't hate him.

 

Drabek could be the greatest double TJ pitcher of all time.

 

Melky may be the greatest former steroid former tumour guy ever.

[Dylan]

I don't mind our lineup when healthy, even with Izturis/Goins.

[KingKat]

This thread is so much fail.

Post a negative comment about 2014 Blue Jays: We have Jose "Injury-prone" Reyes.

[Atothe]

They'll be much better than the 1976 Toronto Blue Jays.

we already have BTS. We don't need BTS on steroids

[Grant77]

No Ramon Ortiz or Chien-Ming Wang

[bigpaulie]

I liked that they signed a Hall Of Fame Pitcher, this off season

[Frenchsoup]

Kevin Seitzer

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

We haven't been contracted yet.

 

Our uniforms are nice.

 

AA will probably be fired after another year of no playoffs.

 

That's all I've got.

[bigpaulie]

I believe we still have the fastest grounds crew in baseball

[The_DH]

That team marketing all wants us to be happy and create this thread.

[theblujay]

Stroman

[fatcowxlive]

You can see the CN Tower when the roof's open?

[Jays]

If we don't make the playoffs this year, then we'll make them the next year.

[Olerud363]

AA has a BA. He'll be lucky to get a job selling cell phones for Telus at the mall.

 

We have the greatest GM of all time of all the GMs with as much or less baseball experience as AA, as much or less education, and as much or less other life accomplishments.

[Olerud363]

You can see the CN Tower when the roof's open?

 

When the roof is open you can actually watch the game from that window floory thingy up their. I watched a bit of an argos game from up there last year.

[Olerud363]

If we don't make the playoffs this year, then we'll make them the next year.

 

And if we don't make them next year we'll make them the year after that.

[Olerud363]

If we don't make the playoffs this year, then we'll make them the next year.

 

One very positive thing is that after reading this thread (a classic I think) I have finally clued into how the Rogers 3 year plan works...

 

If we don't win this year (year 1) we win next year (year 2) if we don't win next year we win the year after that (year 3).

 

#Beestly, #Rogers3YearPlan

[awsomest]

- Alex has managed to retain value by not overpaying Free agents

- Happ is a really strong guy who won 12 games once

- Up and coming premium talent on the roster including goins, seirra, gose

- Ricky Romero could make a comeback

- Yankees tied themselves up with contacts that will hurt them in the long run (Tanaka, ellsbury)

- still two years left in our three year window

- new turf filling

- not caving in and signing any boras clients

- Signed a Hall of fame pitcher on a one day contract which fits perfectly in AA's term limit of free agent pitchers

- looks to have a more focused and less distracting camp which should help them win games in july

 

Whats not to love?

[Rajais Mitten]

Our expectations are low so i don't have to go through last year's emotional roller coaster again..

[jays_fever]

It's going to be very interesting to see if what happens if this team wins 82 games this year. Do they keep the core together for another ill-advised kick at the can in 2015? If so, is payroll going to $170 million? If not, does Beeston get called out mercilessly by the media for his comments about contending?

 

Maybe he will do the right thing and take down his banner on the level of excellence..the self appointed one.
