This trade... has not worked out well.

[candymartinez]

of course

I guess all the board experts got this one wrong. An injury-prone OF at odds with his former team's management for a stable arm was supposed to be a great deal. Oh well as long as the Jays keep finding these hacks that can provide short-term production in the OF before flaming out the team will be ok.

lol

If only it wasn't for that sprinkler....

[Spanky99]

Ughhh...

[Angrioter]

Poor Saunders

[RealAccountant]

well why not, anyways it doesn't really matter much does it. Better this team loses 90 games, and we can move on from Gibby and AA,

Better this team win 90 games get into the playoffs and Gibbons and AA are honored with the first float in the parade in November. These dumbass comments "I hope this team will be horrible so the front office can get fired and Rogers can bring in somebody new where it's a 50-50 chance that the next regime will be better".

[LTR]

Looks like the original operation was a failure.

I think it's working out as expected. We all thought Happ would get better at Safeco, and we all knew Saunders was one of the most injury prone players in the league.

 

I still like this trade, and unless he breaks a few more bones, I still expect Saunders to contribute at some point.

It's not a 50-50 chance. Look around the league. The chance you get a better GM than AA are slim, regardless of what people think of him. Especially when you consider the people who would be doing the hiring.

[BlueBirdBro]

All this and he still gets crippling arthritis for removing the entire whatever from his knee. Smart.

[Praxis]

But, but, but WAR, PWWHAARRRRR, WHORE?

[jaysfan2014]

Yes, the trade is bad.. but Happ hasn't helped the Mariners get into contention.. they have a worse record than the Jays, and they can't score or shows signs of getting on base.

This just in: Happ is why the Mariners can't get on base

[baubau]

Once Saunders isn't rushed and comes back next year having a Melky like come back, I will thoroughly enjoy bumping this thread.

[Inklink]

Tommy John on his knee?

 

 

huehuehue

I want AA to be fired even if they win 90 games. Gibbons can stay though.

...and replace with who?

My cat.

[ScientificReason]

I miss J.A Happ. I never thought I would say that.

[ScientificReason]

JA Happ sure has a lot to do with them getting on base and scoring runs...... HERP.

My cat.

 

If Ed Rogers is the one doing the hiring after Beeston leaves you might get your wish.

Seriously.

 

I wish I could go back 5 years and pull up all the "I hope this team keeps tanking so the JP era can finally end" hysteria posts and teach some posters some perspective and self awareness.

[Stangstag]

Well I guess "injury-prone" is a thing. See: Reyes, Saunders, Lawrie, Lind, etc

I don't disagree but this team is not very good and when you hire someone new there is always hope...and we desperately need hope..

Are there idiots who think it's not a thing? It gets exaggerated sure, but clearly some players are made of glass relative to others.
