Offseason roster thread 2014

[TwistedLogic]

It's Friday night, where's the trade AA????????????????

 

He's probably busy going over Crain and Medlen's medicals

[Stangstag]

Ugh. Anyone else calling ******** on this?

 

Oh yeah, complete ********. Rogers owns the f***ing broadcasting rights. No middle man TV contract, the money goes all into Rogers' pockets.

I be joinin' you bro. Didn't this McCown character say not too long ago that he had been told the Jays' payroll had no real limit and they were considering making an exception to their 5-year contracts policy to sign Lester?

 

Sounds like he may have been told to recant this claim and this might be his way of doing so.

[RealAccountant]

Rogers does lose money on the Jays. The equation is simple. DO NOT GIVE JAYS ANY CREDITS FOR THEIR RATINGS, OR ALLOCATE ANY AD REVENUE TOWARDS THE JAYS,

 

Easy equation no? Rogers just paid billions of dollars for 10 years of Carolina Hurricanes vs. San Jose Sharks

^ That's amazing that their hanging around Toronto and catching a Raptors game in the offseason.

Big night in Toronto with it being Cleveland and Masai Ujiri inviting a bunch of big names for Mandella night, for Ujiri's charity Giants of Africa. Mutombo, Barkley, Magic were all in town. Not sure if the Jays players were here on an invite or just wanted to be here though.

Why would the parents upload that to YouTube?

 

The internet and social media are both the best and worst things to happen to all of us. I don't understand the logic in posting your own child's crying reaction just to get some hits on YouTube. It boggles my mind.

[Captain Adama]

Man, Aaron Sanchez is one ugly dude. Maybe it's just the hat.

Gotchya. Makes more sense.

I thought that was Kyle Lowry at first.

And if he becomes successful he'll be tossing multiple incredibly hot girls (or boys if he's into it) around hotel rooms in multiple cities in ways we can only dream of.

[burlingtonbandit]

Its funny their best friends because they seem on the surface the complete opposites from each other.

 

Stroman-Short black guy from long island, NY with tons of confidence and is really outgoing.

 

Sanchez- Tall, lanky white dude from California who is really quiet and shy.

[Jimcanuck]

Remember when I was in my late teens and seeing Lloyd Moseby walk out of the Sheraton with a beautiful young babe on either arm. God knows what they were up to.

[ElNik2013]

That chick's shorter than Stroman it seems.

[Deadpool]

Our good guys

 

That chain would look super douchey on most people, but Stroman manages to make it look endearing. f***ing #StroChez

Hey AA, send some hookers and blow over to Epstein and Hoyer's room then go get Vallbuena and Strop for Navarro and Osuna.

 

I'm the hooker's expert on this board, and I think with the whores would enough.

Valbueno is just a role player and Strop is just a mediocre RP. Osuna isn't in his true value, value that he'll reach when the minor league season begin.

PROCLAMATION DECLARING OCTOBER 20 AARON SANCHEZ DAY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Barstow native Aaron Sanchez, son of Mike and Lynn Shipley, was promoted to the Toronto Blue Jays

major league baseball team on July 22, 2014 and has recently completed an extremely successful first

season with the team. This proclamation is intended to reflect the City Council's congratulations for this

accomplishment and gratitude for the favorable publicity Mr. Sanchez's success has brought to the City of

Barstow.

 

Anyone know why Sanchez has a different last name as his parents?

Ewwwwwwwww

[itaos]

Shipley is his stepfathers name

[Angrioter]

Adding 2-3 WAR and only marginally increasing payroll has some value. It would be nice to not have to include Osuna but I would if I had to for that package.

 

Valbuena - Bench player

Strop < Delabar

 

Osuna will be a great asset next season. Wait and See!!

[Iggy]

I totally agree ... Jays should not give up an top pitching prospect like Osuna for a fringe part-time player who had one good year

[glory]

Navarro for Valbuena would be great, but I wouldn't include Osuna. Keep all the high upside pitching prospects, if possible. One is bound to pan out.

[TwistedLogic]

This is how I see the roster right now.

 

http://i.gyazo.com/e1fd8c5503bcafc25518d329effec2fd.png

 

That's probably how I line up the offense and the rotation. The rest is not necessarily what I'd do, but what I think is probably the general idea for the Jays right now.

 

As of now, it looks like they have 4 righties, 1 lefty and 4 switch hitters in the lineup.

 

Personally, I think T-Hole, Tolleson and Navarro need to f*** off, but I wouldn't be terribly opposed to Izturis on the bench.

 

You also ideally have Estrada in the pen (if he's not traded, which is what I really want) and Sanchez stretched out in the minors, but I think Norris will be the one that ends up in AAA while Estrada will probably be given the ball to start the year.

 

That bullpen is a monstrosity, and it's clear they're going to be working on it, so the end result is probably something like Cecil, Loup, Estrada, Redmond, New Thing 1, New Thing 2 and whoever does better in spring between Drabek and Delabar. Which still looks like a pretty custy bullpen, depending heavily on how good the new guy(s) is/are.

 

AA should just go into full savior mode. Medlen, Crain, Lowrie, Neshek, Rodriguez, roster complete. If you can ditch Estrada on someone, might as well pick up Beachy as well (yeah, he's probably not signing on as a swingman, but dreams are dreams are dreams).

[SAAviour]

I think you'll get slaughtered for Pompey hitting 2nd and Martin 7th, but I might throw Pompey 2nd occasionally as well...maybe when Martin is having a day off. Just occasionally though, for now.

[LongTimeReader]

That line-up is awful, or at least awfully optimistic of the future

[Angrioter]

Just move Pompey from 2nd to 8th and everyone up a spot and then he's go the right idea.

 

9th spot is better. Reyes can still run.

 

9-Pompey

1-Reyes
