Offseason roster thread 2014

[TwistedLogic]

AA (on Martin): "We decided very early on that this was going to be our first target in the off-season. He's really the key to the off-season for us."

 

 

AA: "I certainly hope it's not the last thing we do. We're definitely trying to do more things."

 

 

AA says Navarro didn't make a trade request: It's something I brought up right out of the chute. It's clear, it's a free agent year for him.

 

 

AA adds on Navarro: "He's a guy who deserves to play every day behind the plate and he did a great job for us."

Interesting on Delino. Guys got good talent, but it would be hard to keep him on a roster for a year.

Feliz 92 on MLB Pipelines top 100

Given the current state of the OF depth chart, a claim would make sense. You can always try to work something out down the line when rostering him is no longer an option.

also has background at 2b

I know he moved to CF this year, but I wonder if he can can play 2B at all... if he could, great bench fit for Toronto.

 

Feliz probably goes very high. Pretty sure he throws like, 99. With a future relief profile anyway, no harm in a team paying 50k to let him try to jump all the way to a big league bullpen.

 

Juan Nicasio DFA'd by Colorado also. I'd easily pick him up and stick him in the pen.

I haven't ever read anything good about his 2B defense, but its hard to know. He had a down year but he has decent K and BB rates. The speed is real and he has a little pop. I agree he could be a nice bench piece with an outside shot of being something better.

Time to flip some prospects:

 

Osuna + Pentecost + Nolin + DSJ

for

Samardzija

 

Our future rotation for many years, and imagine if we got Lester:

Shark

Stroman

Hutch

Sanchez

Norris

 

 

Isn't Shark a free agent after next season?

Wouldn't surprise me.. The Brewers plucked Wei-Chung Wang out of the GCL, and kept him on their roster for the course of the entire year.

Remember when Grant drafted Deshields in the BBDL and just couldn't stop congratulating himself?

I want Michael Feliz in the bullpen

[King]

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 7m7 minutes ago

Feliz will be picked. Have already had front office officials tell me they'd be shocked if he doesn't go No. 1 in Rule 5.

Luhnow: "The success rate of pitchers going from Low A to the big leagues is miniscule. It's a risk that we're wiling to take at this point"

What a dick.

Rule 5 deadline coming...... Jays have added Ryan Tepera

[o2cui2i]

Time to get rid of a catcher.

[Angrioter]

Rule 5 deadline coming...... Jays have added Ryan Tepera

 

Navarro will be traded for prospect to make room for Stilson.

[o2cui2i]

Navarro will be traded for prospect to make room for Stilson.

 

do you think that AA can get that done before the rule 5 draft?

[King]

I think, it has to be done by tonight? lol

[o2cui2i]

I think, it has to be done by tonight? lol

 

I think so too.... AA said they weren't doing anything in the next 24 though. It will get done, but not in time to save anyone and I would expect the Jays to get someone else who would take that spot.

[o2cui2i]

91 days 3 hours and 57 minutes until spring training.... way too long. I miss baseball.

[Angrioter]

do you think that AA can get that done before the rule 5 draft?

 

Maybe. 3 hours deadline

[o2cui2i]

Maybe. 3 hours deadline

 

only makes a difference if they get back a player(S) with options.

[King]

Maybe. 3 hours deadline

 

Michael Feliz will not fall to our pick in the draft, unless he is injured..

I expect a lot of trading before that, quite a few holes left. Pillar will not be this team's starting LF
