AA: "If Kris Medlen had not been hurt, Ervin Santana would be here today"

[G-Snarls]

"The takeaway for me is we felt that we had an agreement in place," the GM told reporters prior to Friday night’s home opener against the New York Yankees. "He was prepared to come here. We had the dollars. How we choose to structure those dollars, those are things that we keep in house.

 

"But I believe if (Braves pitcher) Kris Medlen had not been hurt, Ervin Santana would be here today."

Thanks Madlen

It's honestly just a constant f***ing clown show with these guys.

See, injuries hurt the Jays even when it's not their own player who's injured.

No its complete ********. Don't listen to these f***ing clowns. Just trying to cover their asses.

AA is more creative with making excuses than he is with building a team.

[Angrioter]

Stroman, Sanchez and Nolin will be ready to the mid-season.

In this case don't sound like players can defer salaries

[Convo]

At the end of the day (and I hate that expression) I really don't think Santana is going to give us much more value over what we have unless what we have gets injured.

There's nothing to cover, reputable sources had Santana signing with the Jays before Medlen got injured. It's really not a big deal. I wasn't big on signing him anyway, so just move on.

Alex is basically that old creepy dude at the club that keeps buying the young girl drinks hoping to take her home at the end of the night only to see a younger, more alpha dude swoop in and steal the girl at the last minute. She was never going to go home with him. She just wanted to increase her rep.

 

It's called SEALING THE DEAL FAT GREEK. Try and be more beta please. Gosh!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I'm actually glad that happened. Guess Ervin will show us which pitcher he is.

 

You'd rather us roll with McGowan?

[G-Snarls]

Maybe, just maybe, the entire offseason shouldn't have hinged on Ervin Santana getting desperate enough to sign a 1-year deal in March. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

 

Exactly. When Jimenez, Garza, Burnett and Capuano were signing, he couldn't pretend to know that Hutch and McGowan were going to have such good springs. Waited too long.

They should have waited even longer to try and get a SP...

I'm not a huge fan of Santana, but with him, atleast you know what you are getting.

Besides Buehrle, we have no f***ing idea what we'll get with our starting rotation. Not one of the four we can be comfortable with going into a game.

It's going to be "I wonder if we'll see the good xxxxx or the bad xxxxx today?" And that's a s***** feeling to have.

I remember last year we'd get on a bit of a roll and it would be Dickey's day to pitch... a time when you should feel most comfortable, yet it was when you got an uneasy feeling... and rightfully so.
