not sure what Martin will command but my goodness, if you have a chance to sign him, sign him. Trade Navarro and his what, $5M contract & live with Thole as your backup.

 

Martin knows how to win & the jays need more of these guys.

 

You have to think Martin gets close to McCann money, not as much but I think a 4 year deal at 15 mil is the least he gets.

I discussed banging Scarlett Johansson a few years ago. Didn't work out though.

 

There is still time...don't let a little restraining order hold you back.

 

As for Martin, it's the one value free agent I actually picture AA considering, after all he might see the PR spin of signing another Canadian. No matter how much some little birdie is in his ear about Martin's overall value though, I just don't see AA truly buying in.

Would you guys be happy if this team signed him for 15m/yr and he hit like he did in 2011, 2012, and 2013?

 

Who was the last guy projected to hit .240 but got 15/yr? BJ Upton. But in all honesty, I like Martin but he will be 32 when the season starts. It's odd that a lot of people are advocating signing him when historically they've been opposed to giving 30 somethings a big contract. You want to be paying him over 15 million when he's 36? I don't know if that's the best investment.

Really? She had nice breasts but they weren't throw out your back enormous or anything.

This is a sign that Alex Anthopolous is executing my off season plan to almost my exact standards. Bwahahahahah! I called these sets of moves a while back. Make it happen AA!

The Giants have had a lot of conversations with Sandoval about his weight, but his postseason prowess puts the Giants in a position where they will have to compete for his services. Besides the Red Sox and Giants, the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox appear most interested in Sandoval, but that list is expected to grow.

Oh god please let him go to Boston.

yeah amazing her priorities aren't with looking like a sexy chic for your oggling purposes

 

Has RealAccountant been hanging around Moogie to much??

 

This has the Moogie "I am an elite and will judge the low brow opinions of the commoners" vibe.

 

If you believe in God it is justifiable to appreciate how God originally made her.

 

If you believe in Evolution it is justifiable to appreciate how Evolution originally made her.

 

Perhaps you think Monsanto made her that way by feeding her Genetically modified s*** with too much growth hormone?? then OK. Perhaps it is a good idea she had radical surgery to undo the damage Monsanto caused.

Headley 2Ys > Sandoval 6Yrs

 

absolutely no doubt but would he come to play in TO. I think for us to upgrade the infield we will have to sign a cuban.

I think Headley will go to whichever team loses out on Pablo, so either the Giants or Red Sox. I hope he goes to the Giants, because I don't think Pablo's body holds up as he ages, so I wouldn't mind Boston overpaying for Sandoval.

 

I'm on the "give Martin whatever he wants" bandwagon. Of course, I also realize the Jays won't do a damn thing that's noteworthy, so reality has a way of crushing such things.

I have no idea what the Jays will do but the best target for us was Kendrick and he can block a trade to us . Also with the deals Dipoto made for pitching he mat not deal him.

Not a huge fan of Cuban ball players but right now they are most of the FA middle infielders available. If Fernandez shows up then i would bite the bullet and try and sign him. If not then how healthy is Oliveras

The time to get him was 2 years ago when his value was down. I remember a few of us were saying we should sign him but there were others who were saying he was in decline and that we just wanted him cause he was Canadian. I wish I could find that thread now. lol

 

not getting Martin 2 years ago was a huge mistake. My only question is how many more games his body will hold up. getting him might take a deal for to many years.
