Play GM: Tulo deal

[Spanky99]

Ugh. The Jays got a pitcher in the deal who would have a greater impact in 2015 on the MLB roster than the players they gave up. This stacked offense allows AA to trade off of the MLB roster for pitching without a substantial downgrade to the offense compared to how it was two days ago. Of course this assumes AA is thinking along those lines.

 

Edwin would likely only okay a trade with the Cards, just saying. Other than them, good luck.

[Boxcar]

Yes, ban anyone with a minority viewpoint. Good one Ang.

 

As long as they can rationalize why they don't like the deal, we should respect their opinion.

[Boxcar]

I bet you are just an absolute joy to be around at parties, aren't you?

 

 

He's usually with a group of 21 year old girls, convincing them that he's 30.

Sorry, n00b question, how do I add someone to my ignore list?

 

Go to their profile page, should be on the left hand side. Wow, your first? I've got 14 on there already.

7,000 posts and you don't know how to do that?

I don't come on the main forum much, so I haven't needed to.

I think people greatly overestimate the power and use of the 10/5 clause. If the Jays want to trade Edwin and there's a team that wants him, there will be a way to work things out. Plus the Cardinals and Jays match up pretty well as potential trade partners.

That's why I mentioned them, there isn't a fit anywhere else, unless I'm missing something, and yes, EE would veto any move he doesn't like, it's his right.

This trade can easily blow up on the Jays. By no means is it a home run yet. Tulo very well could be just as bad as Reyes heading forward so the team could have made a lateral move while giving up assets and paying more for a player. With that being said, I would do the trade taking the chance on Tulo. Hoffman, while great, has me concerned on his delivery. While I don't know why the Jays tried to "Sanchez" his delivery, but the fact that they didn't do that with Osuna after his makes me wonder if the Jays worry his old delivery will lead to more TJs.

I'm super stoked. Tulowitzki is the best SS in baseball, and really shores up the D on the left side. Our left side of the infield has to be one of the best ever. If Hoffman is the only big piece to deal (I'm meh on Castro) then I'm pretty damn happy.

 

with an infield of JD, Tulo, Travis and Smoak.... hell yeah!!! I'll take that.

 

 

 

We really need a starter though.

I think this trade happened partly b/c Reyes was stinkin it up of late but also b/c AA knows first hand how hard it is to get middle infielders after looking for 2b for all that time (we got reallly lucky with Travis, Kinsler ended up helping us out in the end lol). Seeing how we traded Bareto, we have nobody coming up.

just like the dickey trade you all were wrong what sauce do you want on your crow

[Boxcar]

There's nothing wrong with not liking the deal. It is not a slam dunk by any means.

 

But you can't dislike the trade and say it sucks because you think Hoffman will be a stud. We are all aware that possibility very much exists.

99% of the people here hated the Dickey trade. You're just being annoying. pretty sad when you can't even troll well.

I thought you were being serious but then I noticed you threw Graveman in there.

throwing out insults ? stay classy 02cui2i

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

Not unless I know I'll be able to get a starting pitcher by the deadline. Knowing AA's tendency to halfass everything, I'd say there's a pretty good chance we don't.

 

Even then, while our offense looks sick on paper with Tulo, his injury history + turf worries me.

[Dr. Dinger]

I'm curious, who here would flip Tulo for Matt Harvey?

[Caper]

It's a fair deal. That's what it is.

[Nafro]

Tulo for Matt Harvey and Wilmer Flores....Not realistic, but that would be where I start.

[The Cats Ass]

I'm curious, who here would flip Tulo for Matt Harvey?

 

If they include Gavin Cecchini.

[TheHurl]

I'm curious, who here would flip Tulo for Matt Harvey?

 

Very interesting question. I'd say no. the downgrade to Goins is just too much. now Harvey and Tejada might be a different story. Even then I probably say no.

[KingKat]

I like it on paper but the black hole it opens up at shortstop is pretty hard to swallow for a contending team and the optics of trading the superstar shortstop you just aquired would be terrible. I think you'd have to pass but it would be painful to do so.

[baubau]

Everyone

 

Only if they take back Dickey + Thole and give us Synd too! I want take-back rules dammit. >
