Jays get Josh Donaldson for Lawrie, Graveman, Nolin and Barreto

[imsorry4beatinU]

How many years of control does the Jays have for Donaldson now?

[KingKat]

This proves one thing. Either AA was forced to go "all in" in 2012 to produce a winner, or he has learned how to efficiently acquire wins and talent.

 

Either way, who gives a f***.

 

Fap.

 

You can go all in and f*** it up (see 2 years ago). Clearly AA has learned something. He seems to be properly valuing defense for the first time.

[The Cats Ass]

Shields would be incredible. Big game James FTW !!'

 

Yes. If AA got him I wouldn't even complain a ton when he starts Goins at 2B to begin the season.

[Chappy]

Jays have too much WAR!!!!!

[HERPDERP]

How many years of control does the Jays have for Donaldson now?

 

Four years!!! through age 33.

 

His prime years.

[fatcowxlive]

Now for ultimate fappage, someone post the combined money that Bautista, Edwin, Martin and Donaldson will make next year. Or average, I don't care.

 

Jose Reyes -> $22,000,000

Josh Donaldson -> $8,000,000 (?)

Jose Bautsita -> $14,000,000 (!!!)

Edwin Encarnacion -> $10,000,000 (!!!)

Russell Martin -> $7,000,000 (!!!)

 

Total: $61,000,000

[Chappy]

f*** Goins, Devon Travis FTW.

Chris King tweeting that there may not be a hitter in the minor leagues with a better potential hit tool than Franklin Barreto

 

Well f*** that, we just got JOSH DONALDSON?

 

This is why I dont like the deal in the long term. Should have kept Barreto or Lawrie and throw someone else in.

[King]

I know I'm excited. I'm just thinking about Franklin Barreto. I was so excited about him I know hes young but felt his bat would shoot him through the system

 

Example A of why you don't get attached to prospects. And that's coming from someone who gets way too attached to prospects.

 

JOSH DONALDSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SAAviour]

So I guess AA goes for Bryce Harper now as a left handed bat? Trade them....anything.

Are you kidding me? Does he know about Albert Almora?

[Spoonovic]

This is why I dont like the deal in the long term. Should have kept Barreto or Lawrie and throw someone else in.

 

 

Barreto is a prospect. Prospects aren't guaranteed to be anything.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

See ya later Brett ya f***ing douche.

[TheHurl]

Steamer has Donaldson as only a 1.8 win increase on Lawrie

[fatcowxlive]

This is why I dont like the deal in the long term. Should have kept Barreto or Lawrie and throw someone else in.

 

As stated earlier, we have the best 3B in baseball under control for 4 years which is one more year than Lawrie. Exactly how long term are you talking?

Donald won't make 8 through 1st time Arb will he?

[HERPDERP]

Wow guys.

some guy is raging that Donaldson is s*** and Pablo is better.

[HERPDERP]

Hutchison is now on fan 590..i'll write his response

[fatcowxlive]

I'm saying worst case scenario, I got it from an article on an SB Nations site.

[Caper]

Oh my god is anyone listening to the fan right now.... "Donaldson is no where near Sandoval".

[fatcowxlive]

Oh my god is anyone listening to the fan right now.... "Donaldson is no where near Sandoval".

 

Obviously he's not. How many rings does Panda have vs. Donaldson? Exactly

[Chappy]

Anyone who would rather pass on a chance to get a 7 WAR player in his prime making well below market value for an often injured 1.5 WAR player, 2 backend starters/long men, and one top prospect probably needs to quit following baseball. AA just s*** his souvlaki dinner down Beans throat.

[HERPDERP]

Hutchison - I just seen the news on the TV, definitely shocked.

 

brett meant a lot, anytime someone gets traded, it's part of the game, you're not really surprised. but..i'm shocked for this one, and im looking forward to meeting him

[burlingtonbandit]

Well you then likely don't get Donaldson. I love Barreto as much as anyone but he is not a dealbreaker when you are getting Josh Donaldson.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Steamer has Donaldson as only a 1.8 win increase on Lawrie

 

If Lawrie plays 130 games I`ll eat my hat.

[HERPDERP]

If Lawrie plays 130 games I`ll eat my hat.

 

repost:

 

Brett Lawrie games missed due to injury: 185

Josh Donaldson games missed due to injury: 6

[Abomination]

Donald won't make 8 through 1st time Arb will he?

 

I believe Donaldson is projected to get 4.5M next year.

[fatcowxlive]

If Lawrie plays 130 games I`ll eat my hat.

 

If he reaches 100 I'll be surprised
