Around Baseball 2015

[TheHurl]

How cute Boston wants to be just like the jay's ! Lol

 

Yeah remember when the Jays career 106 wRC 5th Outfielder got hurt and we replaced him with a guy that got MVP votes just 2 years ago.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Remember when the jays had that 190 million dollar payroll.... Oh wait!

 

So you can buy a team and talent, who knew? Lol

You are right we should talk more about the Rays, that team whose OF is the third best in baseball, with a lower cost than Michael Saunders medical bills.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Ban , for Rays talk ! Lol

 

Hook line and sinker!

And may have just lost Steven Souza Jr. for a while because of this play:

Casey McGehee, a leader in GIDP, has been DFAd by the Giants, as rookie Matt Duffy has badly outplayed him..

A week of Joey Butler isn't going to kill the Rays.

Nats using an old war tactic on opponents.

 

They have been playing pop ballads and other soft and sappy music during opposing teams’ batting practices this season. There is no shortage of schmaltzy music, so the playlist has varied every day. But the past couple days the Phillies have been fortunate (or unfortunate) to hear Patrick Swayze’s “She’s Like the Wind,” Starland Vocal Band’s “Afternoon Delight,” Anne Murray’s “You Needed Me,” Dan Hill’s “Can’t We Try,” and Spandau Ballet’s “True.”

 

The best part is that some Phillies are getting upset.

 

“We’ll take care of that,” Ryne Sandberg said before today’s game against the Nationals at Nationals Park. “We’re going with the silent treatment at our place.

 

“I mean, come on,” Jeff Francoeur said. “If you did it one time it’s funny. But we come here so many times.”

 

Should play some Celine for Frenchy.

[Mikeleelop]

major blow

 

Serves him right

Preston Guilmet's numbers:

 

2.0 IP, 2H, 1ER, 1BB, 2Ks, and a DFA or option to Durham coming when the Rays cut him for another arm tomorrow.

Evan Gattis just got screwed so badly. Double away from the cycle and got intentionnaly walked by the Tigers.

[LTR]

The Indians are going to compete this year - no question about it. Their offense is good and their SP is amazing. No surprise they just won 6 in a row.

Not happening. 8 games back of KC and 5 back of DET/MIN. And their recent streak is due to playing last place teams in the Chicago White Sox and Cincinatti Reds. And they have a tough schedule ahead, and that bullpen is still and issue. It wouldn't be so bad if they were in the AL East.. but being in the toughest division, they may start selling veterans soon as they have no hope of catching the Tigers or Royals, and possibly the Twins, as they have really improved with Paul Molitor there..

[Orgfiller]

No disrespect to Bernie Williams, he had a really great prime, but he was/is kind of overrated.

[o2cui2i]

what a lazy play by Andrus

[o2cui2i]

nice throw!

[Orgfiller]

Rangers playing some sketchy defense.

[jaysfan2014]

Can someone please shut Buster Olney up? Just the other day, he suggested that the Red Sox should trade for Vogt.. which isn't happening as he's under Oakland's control until 2020. And unless Boston really turns it around, I expect them to be selling veterans at the deadline. Besides, their recent success isn't going to last, as highly-ranked Minnesota looms tomorrow. And we all know Oakland, who comes up after that, isn't as bad as their record shows.. if they could get some bullpen stability, they could rebound.

 

Oh BTW, here's the stupid Vogt rumour:

You could say the same thing about Donaldson.

 

BTW Vogt is also 30, so perhaps it may be good to sell high.

Yeah.. but no way he goes to Boston with Swihart and Vazquez in the system. There are other teams that could use him more.. plus, Boston can't afford to blow their farm system right now considering there's a huge gap in their system below AAA.. most of their high-end prospects are either already in the majors, being held for value (see Ed. Rod, Owens, Johnson), or in A ball (Moncada, Margot, Devers). Trading for Vogt would likely require Boston to give up on both Swihart and Vazquez, with Swihart likely to be traded. And right know, Swihart's value is way down due to him being rushed to the majors.

Since the A's are worse of then use would Kazmir be ripe for the picking since he's a free agent at the end of the year ?

 

What does it take?

 

Would Estrada Boyd be enough!

Think BB could squeeze more than that. Boston, depending on how desperate they get, could offer more?

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Could they do tell?

[GD]

Beane would love a guy like Matt Boyd though.

[HERPDERP]

Kazmir would net us a pick right?

 

I'd definitely give up Boyd for Kazmir. There are better arms in our system which would push Boyd to BP duty.

Every team that's leading their division has the highest run differential within their division, except the AL East where that team is sitting in last place. Go Jays Go.

This is so Blue Jays.

Bartolo strikes out the side in the first.

[jaysfan2014]

Guthrie looks lost on the mound right now.. 5 runs in the first and still not out of the inning yet.
