GDT: ST Blue Jays vs Tigers (March 27) - 1:07 PM Sportsnet/MLB TV

Martin can catch Dickey.

Settled then. Someone tell AA/Gibby our bench will be Goins, Tolleson, Navarro/smoak, & Valencia.. and a crying dickey on the side.

[HERPDERP]

Thole 4.085 years of service. Really, does anyone give an actual f*** if Thole or Tolleson get picked up on waivers?

 

Uh yes? What if Martin is injured?

 

Who in the majors is left that can catch Dickey?

 

Thole would be traded and the team that has him would ask for a premium cause f*** you

 

Nickeas has retired

 

That +40 year old guy we had two years ago is probably retired too

[S33n]

Settled then. Someone tell AA/Gibby our bench will be Goins, Tolleson, Navarro/smoak, & Valencia.. and a crying dickey on the side.

 

Pretty please?

and then to drop Tolleson when Saunders returns for Pillar. tyvm. Case closed.

[Sammy225]

Kawasaki,Valencia,Navarro,Gindle(probably Tolleson for some reason).

 

Travis probably isn't going North imo. I'm actually hoping(50/50) on even Norris going down to start the year.

 

Actually with Izturis down there is a very good chance that Travis heads north.

Castro, Francis, Hendriks “@BigFourInsider: @snbarrydavis Do you know who is pitching after Hutchison today?

[S33n]

Kawasaki,Valencia,Navarro,Gindle(probably Tolleson for some reason).

 

Travis probably isn't going North imo. I'm actually hoping(50/50) on even Norris going down to start the year.

 

IMO there's a 1% chance Norris doesn't make the team, and 20% chance Travis doesn't. I think Travis has shown enough to win the starting job, especially with Izturis down.

A lineup with Kawasaki and not travis is a lot less exciting. If this was the case, shouldn't we see more of Kawasaki?

Speculate all you want fellas. Even if any of Castro.Osuna.Norris or Travis make the team out of spring it's highly unlikely the FO is dumb enough to give up an extra year for a couple weeks.

Good point.

 

Let Izturis backup ss/2B and send Goins down.

Honestly i think the 2 week rule is dumb as f*** and i hope Bryant does not get stuck in the same category. I think you take the best team you can to the regular season whether he is a rookie or not. I hate the idea of making a the team weaker for 2 weeks to save a year.... Just hope you don't miss the playoffs by 1 game.

I agree. I understand managing your assets is important but when you're going for it, I want to see the best team possible.

[HERPDERP]

1 full year of an experienced player is very likely to get you farther than 2 weeks of a rookie making his major league debut.

 

I'm 100% on the side of clubs. You keep the guy down to save time.

[o2cui2i]

Yeah I like Goins because he can provide excellent defense at both mid infield corners and his s***** bat won't be too much of a problem with our line-up.

 

I think he could do well at 3B if given a try and I hear they are trying him out in the outfield.

 

I like the idea of using Goins as a late inning D move with a lead. get a couple runs up and take Reyes out in the 6th or 7th inning.

[Dylan]

ugh, I wish we could do away with izturis and navarro

[S33n]

Rain clouds approaching Dunedin hopefully they hold off

Norris was called up last September so he'd have to be down more than 2 weeks to add a year of service, right?

[Dylan]

Looks like a decent amount too

[o2cui2i]

I'm more worried about Navarro. as long as Travis does well Izturis will not be anything more than a bench piece. They will find all kinds of really stupid reasons to get Navarro into the lineup. we all know they will.

[jayswin11]

If we need sineine to catch Dickey in a pinch what about just calling up Jimenez?

Dickey will probably be gone after this year unless he has a very good season.

Next year

Hutch

Stro

Norris

Sanchez

Castro

Pretty sure Travis has cemented the second base job. Hes been playing with Reyes a ton the last couple of weeks. Thats a pretty sure sign.

 

*He's* *That's*

[Spanky99]

Good point.

Izzy's starting the year on the DL.

[S33n]

Looks like it's about to start raining down there :/

[Dylan]

I know.

I agree, but that rule needs to be altered.

wat

 

He's an idiot, lol.

No, it'd have to be a pretty big lead?
