Man - I'm not sure anyone else in baseball passes the "eye" test like Cashner. The man looks dominate every time I see him. He's a major injury risk though.

Some guy made a neat chart of lucky/skill pitchers

 

Here's where Carrasco falls:

"He’s the 4th best starter 2014-15 in terms of skill (K%, BB%, GB%) and he has been slightly unlucky (BABIP, LOB%) falling just short of being 1 standard deviation worse than the group."

If the Blue Jays are making a trade with San Diego. I believe AA would be asking about Upton. AA has been trying to get him since he became GM. Always comes up a little short.

 

If the Blue Jays were to make a trade with the Padres, it could be for anybody. Ross, Cashner, Shields, Benoit, Kimbrel, Upton, they've got a ton of guys that the Jays would be interested in.

Even if anybody cares about this, I'm not sure on the legitimacy, since Calcaterra admits constantly that he's a troll.

It's on MLBTR, therefore it's legit.

 

Yeah they posted it after Calcaterra's comment. Although, it was actually broken by this guy.

 

If other people hadn't followed up on the rumor, I'd have assumed Calcaterra was trolling based on his follow up tweet:

Forgot about Carassco's heart problem. Definitely lowers his long term value.

Someone help me out here. Were the Blue Jays not in a better place last year leading up to the deadline? I mean a better record than we have now by about 5-6 games and they elected to make a single lateral move. Now it looks like Toronto will be buyers with a .500 team give or take a few games?

 

Can we conclude that AA has some flexibility payroll wise this year unlike last year or was that determined to be crap?

AA said last year there were moves available, but they didnt make sense for the club. Same thing likely to happen this year.

Same s*** will happen as usual. The trade deadline will come and go and the Jays will do nothing. Barry Davis will have an interview with AA and he will say there was dialogue with teams, but not enough to make a deal happen. Then it goes back to the studio and Campbell informs the audience that the non-waiver trade deadline has passed, but deals can still be done through waivers.

Bleh. This team is 49-48. I'd only entertain non-rental acquisitions but then again you still run the risk that what you give up becomes gold and what you receives turns into s***. This is Toronto after all.

I'd move the likes of Boyd and Castro but none of the top tier guys. I would try to make a baseball trade involving Encarnacion if at all possible, but I find a deal there unlikely. Nobody wants Navarro so that makes that. So virtually I do not see anything happening unless its for a pitcher with a longer term.

Castro is top tier. Should be 5 or 6 on Jays prospect list.

Rosenthal and Passan speculating on a potential trade between the Nats and the Reds. Nats interested in Chapman, Reds scouting Fedde heavily.

I'm a doctor. Sounds like Carrasco had atrial flutter or fibrillation that was ablated (most likely flutter), judging by the descriptions he gave as well as the physicians stating the procedure was non invasive. Does not affect his value whatsoever as it is not disabling or life threatening - at least in the short term, unless he also has a very rare complication (wolf-parkinson-white, HOCM) which is very unlikely.

Man I hope the Jays don't get fleeced by the Padres. That GM has been drunk since he got hired.

 

Considering the mess AJ Preller has in San Diego, we have a better chance of fleecing him.. most of what he traded has blossomed outside of San Diego.

Ross, Kimbrel and JUpton would be sweet.

 

I'd take Ross. He really needs to get on a better team with at least competent D (they had Middlebrooks playing SS the other day!)
