Tulo and Hawkins to the Jays for Reyes, Castro, Hoffman and Tinoco

[HERPDERP]

I dunno about you guys but this day so far has been unproductive for me at work.

 

Maybe the rest of the week too...

[KingKat]

Players who are excited to come here

 

I like

 

A this point if you're an offensive player and you're not excited about joining this lineup, you're a f***ing idiot.

[flafson]

Now we need a press conference from Gibby to figure out the lineup for tonight.

[HERPDERP]

lol watch Gibby pull a derp and put in Navarro/Smoak to split up the righties.

[Camps]

Bat Tulo leadoff. Just bludgeon teams to death from the start.

[G-Snarls]

Could you imagine what the perception of this offense would be if people outside of this fanbase actually understood and appreciated what Devon Travis and Justin Smoak have done for this team this year?

 

We now have *10* players with a wRC+ of 110 or better, those two obviously included

 

Reyes was at 95

 

Pillar is our only regular now who is under 100

[Nox]

I really don't think anybody should be too disappointed that Hoffman is going the other way. Pretty overrated by the majority on this board.

 

Deal is a solid B+ from the Jays perspective.

[Governator]

We've gotten Russel Martin / Josh-f***ing-Donaldson / Devon Travis / Troy Tulo-f***ing-witzki in less than a year, all for the next 3-5 years. Please add an ace to this list and I will forget 2012 ever happened.

[Spanky99]

He was pulled during the game last night, and was only in Chicago, so I would think today

 

He won't be back in time for tonights game, he'll be in the lineup Wednesday.

The cost for Tulo would've been (from what I was told) 2 of Wheeler, Noah and Matz and one of d'Arnaud/Plawecki. Tough pill to swallow.

[HERPDERP]

That seems like a huge ask for the Mets and out of proportion with what we gave them. Kind of like the difference in the demands for the Cueto talks

[cusstown]

The Mets got Jocketty'd.

[HERPDERP]

lol AA was persistent again

[Spanky99]

Why would Edwin EVER accept a trade off this team now? Not going to happen.

 

That's why I keep saying the Cards, they need a 1B and our a lock to the Post-Season, any other team he says #FYSMC!! So it's very slim.

[DuckDuckGose]

That seems like a huge ask for the Mets and out of proportion with what we gave them. Kind of like the difference in the demands for the Cueto talks

 

It's a reasonable package if COL was eating salary. Wheeler + Matz + Plawecki for Tulo and cash

[Boxcar]

1 might be what you SHOULD do

 

But 2 is definitely what Gibby WILL do

 

Prefer 2 myself

[KingKat]

Almost makes it seem like they considered the Reyes contract a positive assett which is pretty crazy of them. He's not flat out terrible but his contract sure is.

[Boxcar]

I really don't think anybody should be too disappointed that Hoffman is going the other way. Pretty overrated by the majority on this board.

 

Deal is a solid B+ from the Jays perspective.

 

You know the Jays made a solid deal when Noxy likes it.

[Sammy225]

Why not put Travis Leaf Off and then push everyone back.

 

Travis

Tulo

Donaldson

Bau

EE

Smoak

Martin

Pillar

Left Field

Maybe they asked for more because Tulo didn't want to go there? They needed more incentive to deal him to the Mets.

[Ambassador Ch0n]

Reyes was a great guy and a good player. I'm actually sad to see him leave (no homo)

 

Ewwwww, totally homo.

 

Gay.

He's so f***ing annoying lol. He's probably the guy in every fantasy league that everybody hates. I think at this point, teams only make trades with him once they're convinced (in their mind) that they're winning the deal.

 

That seems like a huge ask for the Mets and out of proportion with what we gave them. Kind of like the difference in the demands for the Cueto talks

 

I think the Rockies believe that they can still flip Reyes for more prospects, maybe to the Mets themselves.

[DuckDuckGose]

1 might be what you SHOULD do

 

But 2 is definitely what Gibby WILL do

 

Pretty sure Gibby was up all night making lineups and just smiling

[KingKat]

Travis

Tulo

Donaldson

Bau

EE

Smoak

Martin

Pillar

Left Field

 

Pretty much any lineup that has Pillar and the LF at the bottom works. That's how deep the lineup is.

[Boxcar]

Why not put Travis Leaf Off and then push everyone back.

 

Travis

Tulo

Donaldson

Bau

EE

Smoak

Martin

Pillar

Left Field

 

That is such a beautiful lineup. 7 mashers, hopefully Saunders plays soon or we get a new LF.

[TwistedLogic]

Just f***ing promote Pompey already!

[z3r0s]

At this point I figure you call up Pompey and be happy with the defense. Kids been hitting well since he was sent to AA anyway, so he might not be a total black-hole

[DuckDuckGose]

That is such a beautiful lineup. 7 mashers, hopefully Saunders plays soon or we get a new LF.

 

Pompey needs to be called up now. No way you can give innings to Bello and Carrera now

[King]

Tom Robson, Jesus Tinoco

 

I win

[Sammy225]

Any GM dumb enough to think Portabello has any trade value?
