I posted this a few pages back but I think it faded into the excitement of the servers rebooting.

 

I was thinking about 2016, namely the rotation, and was talking with my brother about potential trades AA could make in the off-season to rectify it.

 

My main target would be Carlos Carrasco. His peripherals are fantastic and his contract provides excellent WAR value, as you all know I'm sure.

 

Near the trade deadline, rumours seemed to indicate that a Hoffman, Norris, Pompey package nearly got it done, but ultimately was rejected because they wanted Stro, possibly in place of Hoff? Well, given that they were our 3 best prospects at the time, but, debatably, not major league ready yet, at that point, what could Alex offer to maybe get it done? Would it take a similar package to what landed JD?

 

I would offer Revere, Sanchez, Hutch, and Greene. Do you guys think that would do it, or would selling high on Pillar (in place of Revere, with his 4 WAR) and adding Cola help get it done? If they laugh this off, what do you gents think it would take?

 

Speculating on trades is fun, but to be honest there is no chance that is enough to get Carrasco. I don't think the Jays have enough to get him.

Its not like he's a recovering alcoholic and doesn't drink anymore. He used to be a party animal in his LA days but now he seems to be a lot more mature. He might not be getting sloshed everynight but he seems like the type of person who drinks wine a ton.

Really like the Price one. Good use of vignette love the balance of the two lighter spots at opposite corners (his face and the ball/pants).

What's this talk about Navarro catching Estrada in the playoffs??? Gibby can't be serious.

 

I don't see why not. If that stats indicate the Jays winning during Estrada's good pitching performance. I would say Navarro you're in. If the Jays were winning in Hutch fashion. No thanks. As it is way harder to recover from a 6-8 run deficit as opposed to a 2-3 deficit when Estrada pitches. Navarro may call a better game then Martin when Estrada pitches.

I would put Navarro in. I wouldn't mess around with a pitcher who skates on thin margins. It's 3 AB's. It's not the end of the world.

Take your point on their tandem. Their numbers are good together. I don't know if its real or just an anomaly.

 

Its not the end of the world and Navvy is capable of offensive production. Its not Thole. Its more the D loss that concerns me.

The D loss isn't as important if Estrada is pitching like he has. The bottom line is that perception is reality in the mind of a pitcher. If Estrada thinks it matters having Navarro in there, then it matters. Do whatever it takes to keep Estrada's smoke and mirrors working. Him not imploding is more important than a few extra innings for Martin.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

 

Navvy went up a notch for me when he guessed right on Miller's first pitch FB in the 9th and tied that big game lol. He squared that up big time. Wish we could have completed that comeback. Would have been a sweet one.

Did he go back down a notch when he put a runner on base the very next inning with catcher interference?

Only problem with that is he hes has 1 at-bat in a month.

 

It's been super frustrating. Giving Pillar or Revere a day off wouldn't kill the team.

Both lineups are given here - http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2015_09_29_tormlb_balmlb_1#game=2015_09_29_tormlb_balmlb_1,game_state=Pregame

 

weather in Baltimore - http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/baltimore-md/21202/hourly-weather-forecast/348707 (looking at the radar, it looks like the worst of it might be gone by 9 pm - http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/baltimore-md/21202/weather-radar/348707). My guess is that the game will be played but there will be a rain delay to start.

This is a really good Reddit post I feel should be shared. The dude comes up with his own metric to measure baseball offense "dominace" and compares the Jays season to the rest of MLB history. Some really interesting notes. Sorry if it's been posted.

Worst sign of the year award goes to....

Not only does it make no sense but I'm not sure I get the Carter-EE connection unless I'm missing something? Made me laugh at how bad this sign was.

Was Carter the DH? I think that's what she's referring to. But Edwin is miles better than Carter ever was, which is another reason why the sign is awful.
