Report: Santana willing to do a 1 year contract - in talks with 3 teams

[The_DH]

I can't find any from any reputable source

 

Davidi says deal NOT done

 

I'm sure the deal isn't done but it looks like we're ahead in this one.

[G-Snarls]

If we sign Santana then Drew only costs the third round pick

 

Why not? Except he'll only play 2B if a longer deal according to Boras

mlbtrade rumors saying the orioles may be a bit behind the jays in terms of the 14 mil. so not a done deal yet.

[BlueJaysGirl]

Jesus f***..........in what scenario would he not have a chance? Not exactly a bold statement.

 

If he was the victim of a jihad. Or his arm fell off. Those are two possible scenarios.

 

Okay, here's my prediction...16-6 ERA 3.52...218 K.

[JaysAllMighty]

Having Santana would be nice and after watching Romero yesterday, he's looking good. I'm hoping he can have his control back permanently.

Choices for Drew: Play 2B in the big leagues for millions of dollars, or play SS at home on your Playstation for nothing.

 

Seriously, if someone was going to give Drew a one year deal to play short, I think they would have already. The draft pick cost makes signing someone for a single season pretty impossible for most non-competitive teams to stomach, and most competitive teams don't have SS holes that Drew can plug.

Drew has never played at 2B in his life and he has medical problems.

Bonifacio played some games there and it didn't work out too well.

It makes sense to have Goins in Buffalo to start the year but they want some solid defense on 2B and they don't know what they will get with Drew.

[Caper]

It would be funny if Texas signed him.

[BlueJaysGirl]

It would be funny if Texas signed him.

 

No. I would cry. Are crying girls funny?

[GD]

No. I would cry. Are crying girls funny?

 

Brace yourself for the responses.

Uh oh, you've really gone and done it now............SABR-based mockery to begin momentarily.

Hah.

 

I'm actually pretty good at predictions. JPA in 2013 aside. What are your JJ predictions for 2014? Let's get it on paper here.

If someone had a gun to my head I'd say something around a 4.10 xFIP, if he's fully healthy.

[vic city]

Damn...now point now. You stole my thunder LOL

Okay, with two shots of tequila to your head, I want W/L, ERA, and K predicts...

Uh oh

[Anemic0ffense]

Santana must be too despaired to sign the contract. AA put the man to sleep.

[theblujay]

Holy f*** this thread sucks.

 

Bad start to your day?

[vic city]

And to the person that predicted that JJ will win the NL Cy, what the hell are you smoking??

 

JJs career is over. No way he pitches .500 ball. No way he has an ERA under 4. No way in hell he pitches anything close to 200 innings...I can keep going here!

[BlueJaysGirl]

Bad thread? We've only had the Dioner signing to get hot about. This is the best (possible) news I've had as a Jays fan since, I dunno' the Dickey signing. Because it means we are going to improve if we sign him. How does discussing an almost certain improvement translate to the "worst thread ever"?

You're wrong. Friendly bet? JJ has an awesome year.

Probably better to use FIP if your predicting what his final results will be.

 

He put up a Xfip of 3.58 in 2013 but was s*** (unlucky)

Just the same, humour me.

Looks way better then anything we could imagine last week

[Anemic0ffense]

BREAKING NEWS: Blue Jays sign Carlos Santana to play the Canadian anthem at the home opener.

 

Wrong Santana guys... /thread

He f***ing broke xFIP last year, man.

First he had bone chips removed that he said he was uncomfortable pitching with last year. Second, he himself has said he feels just as good as he did before. He already pitched 2 scoreless innings with 2ks. I think he will do better than 4/5 of the jays pitchers and be a solid #2 guy for them.

[jays4life19]

Just the same, humour me.

 

I agree that JJ will be very good this year in the NL in a park like San Diego.

 

He's was incredibly unlucky last year. Prime rebound candidate.

[jays4life19]

His worst xFIP- in the past 6 years is 95. JJ will be an above average pitcher.

 

yep.

[jays4life19]

Anyways. I don't have twitter. Any updates on Santana?
