GDT(2/3): Your Toronto Blue Jays @ Baltimore Orioles - Sanchez v Jimenez - 7:05 PM ET

[ElNik2013]

I'm saying something like Hoffman for Hamels could be the difference maker and its not like its a horrible thing in 2016 either when we lose Dickey, Buehrle. Hoffman is not a guarantee, no prospect is.

 

 

I'm pretty sure it'll take more than Hoffman and I don't think the Jays have the payroll room for Hamels's salary.

 

 

Can't just ignore those 2 factors.

[Daniel Labude]

I doubt he was in their price range. Plus, I thought we were discussing starters.

 

My bad...don't think there was very many starters that were even considering us this offseason.

I doubt starting the year with a bunch of rookies was AA's plan A

Hamels is already getting paid, If AA traded Hoffman for somebody with more surplus value it would be cool.

Liam Hendriks actually pitching well.. I think we know that Redmond is probably gone after this outing..

How can we make it so Sanchez is no longer on this team?

 

Paypal me $50 and I'll get it done

Especially guys trying to rebuild their value. The opposite is true for hitters, i.e. Smoak, Barton and Dirks.

I can tell you how I can make it so you are no longer on this forum?

That's because Liam Hendriks is good. Hopefully he's making starts soon.

I guess Dogg really decided no chill tonight

Not sure what you mean?

Just do it. I added him to my ignore list but everyone replies to his posts because they're so bad.

[Statman]

How can we make it so you can't post?

[o2cui2i]

I'm sure AA was trying to get something else done in the off season, but the price was too much for the pieces he wanted and he had to go with the kids. I doubt he went into the off season saying... HMMM it's a good idea to have a bunch kids on the team because we dont need any solid vets.

Moving a top piece for Hamel's to move Sanchez to the pen would be a win move IMO. Worst case you have Stroman back next year with Hamel's, Hutch and Norris as a starting point. You bullpen has Sanchez, Castro, Osuna, Cecil as a base if they aren't moved in the deal. Upgrade 2 areas with 1 stone.

[fatcowxlive]

ouuuuuch

[Daniel Labude]

Buck and Tabby are right too many young unproven kids on jays pitching staff

 

Last I checked we have 2 losses because the veterans suck at this point....Sanchez wasn't good but only gave up 3 runs...should have been in the game.

[Gorlak]

I think it was.

[o2cui2i]

jays heart not in it now.... ugly game all around. the positive is that it will be over soon.

Oh I agree, but I thought you said the opposite on your post, probably a typo.

 

There's no doubt in my mind the payroll parameters changed after the bad 2013 season. Only way to make changes was to lower payroll which is what AA did this past off season. Anyway....first stinker, let's not overreact.

hopefully the clubhouse has some hand sanitizer so they can wash the s*** stink off and move on to a better game tomorrow.

[jaysfan2014]

Valencia in RF? Strange.. but it's a blowout, so it really doesn't matter. Let's just get ready for tomorrow.

[Statman]

There are going to be game like this. If we continue to see the Jays play 4 out of 5 games like they have so far we will be in fine shape this year.

[JFD]

I thought Sanchez was supposed to be good. he looked like Josh Towers tonight.

[Gorlak]

I think AA felt comfortable enough with the rookies to not pay for upgrades.

[o2cui2i]

61cyngi just bought himself a full contact f*** off. anyone else want one while I handing them out?

 

 

some people just beg for it.

sure, but it's not just the pitching. lots of ugly swings, some dropped balls and all around bad play. one game... get em tomorrow.

[JFD]

yeah.. he's a bad GM for sure.

[Governator]

I think AA's plan was one of Estrada, Sanchez or Norris as the 5th starter, move Navarro for pen help. Stroman going down really hurt, and teams not wanting Navarro's salary meant AA was in a tough spot with no money. He was pretty much forced to give young arms a long look but I don't think it was plan A. Still should have kept Delabar and stretched out Osuna though IMO.

Again, depends who you're talking about and at what price range. The Jays even had to overpay for a Canadian position player, imagine a FA pitcher.
