@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #BlueJays, #Athletics among teams talking to Viciedo.

No.....nono no...no!

gbill2004 · February 27, 2015

I just checked and he has a negative WAR. How is that possible?

It's because he was below replacement level? It Happens. See JP Arencibia, Izzy, and many more examples.

so gross

so gross

Blame the s***** Dunedin outfield or Saunders. Whichever makes you feel better.

minor league deal, sure sign him up.

This is how we know the Jays aren't true followers of advanced stats.

We don't know if the Blue Jays are actually considering Viciedo though. We just know that someone told Ken Rosenthal that they were among teams that have talked to him.

The Athletics are the others.

That too lol

The Jays won't admit it, but they have zero cash. They're not talking to anyone unless there is a chance of signing them to a minor league contract.

The plunge of the Canadian dollar really hurt the Jays. They'll dump Navarro in a heartbeat, just to unload his contract, and I doubt they'll reinvest that $5 million.

AA's power hitter fetish still exists. It took a backseat to his off-season of WAR-love, but he still has the itch.

fatcowxlive · February 27, 2015

If it's a minor league deal I think it's worth a shot. I have a feeling that we'll be shuffling the OF a lot until Saunders is back 100%

HERPDERP · February 27, 2015

I'd rather put Smoak in LF if we're this desperate..

gbill2004 · February 27, 2015

Navarro to LF and Viciedo DH?

bendera3 · February 27, 2015

No no no no no no no.

I'll cry.

Uhhhhh.... The Jays are trying (unwillingly likely...) to practice financial responsibility, but if push comes to shove Rogers has no shortage of money. If I'm Eddy Rogers I want to see some on field results before I allow Alex/Paul to start papering the FA pool.

The Jays, like all major league teams deal in American currency also... The drop in CDN currency isn't likely gonna hurt til later in the year. This team was once a 2-time World Series Champion when the CDN dollar was at about $0.75 US so it is not a viable excuse anyhow.

He's so bad bro.

Worse then what we are going to put out there now?

Worse.

Overall, probably worse than Pillar, yeah... And almost certainly worse than a Pillar/Dirks platoon...

gbill2004 · February 28, 2015

Navarro in LF could be quite entertaining.

TheHurl · February 28, 2015

But he's Cuban...all Cubans are good at béisbol

I've been to Cuba. Does that make me good at baseball?

I know hr's and Rbi's aren't everything but there's no way pillar can put up a 20-60 season.

There... Kinda not anything? Pillar will out WAR Viciedo, which is about as good an "overall value to the team" stat as there is, even if you don't think it's perfect...

Arencibia can put up a 20/60 season, but he's still gawdawful, right?

Yes.

It sounds like Saunders has the same time table D-Rose. No Viciedo, Saunders could be back by end of April.
