Zobrist to KC

[Angrioter]

They are and they do, at a very steep cost. For a team with payroll restrictions who has to rely on their farm system, I'm surprised.

 

They can win this year.

[Ziggyy108]

I think it's pretty darn clear now we're gonna have to get Price and Cespedes.

 

How about Josh Reddick and Jesse Chavez. Both under contract an extra year.

[TwistedLogic]

[Ziggyy108]

 

Yoooo. AA please go and get Reddick. Would be a perfect fit in LF.

[Orgfiller]

Lmao. We should really make a bid for Reddick.

He likes to bitch doesn't he. Granted he may have had a case with Donaldson, but it's part of the game.

[jays_fever]

Reddick would be the final piece to our juggernaut.

[Ziggyy108]

I don't think Beane would want to give us another middle of the order bat though ....

 

But how f***ing sick would Reddick look in the middle of all our slugging righties.

I feel like Pompey could fill in almost as well? Am I crazy?

You're a Blue Jay, You're a Blue Jay, You're a Blue Jay, everyone's a Blue Jay!!!

Not sure where this preconceived notion that Beane is bitter about the Donaldson trade came from. He got what he wanted and Barreto/Lawrie are pretty much performing the way they were expected to

For this year? Yes. Though I agree Pompey should be up here right now

[HERPDERP]

Pompey has been tearing s*** in the past as well. He was destroying Buffalo in 15 games last year and look what happened to him this year.

 

Maybe the reason why he's down there is because they want to see that he's having good at bats and hitting good pitches.

He's down there to inflate stats for trade bait. It's absurd to imagine a scenario where Carerra is actually preferred over Pompey. If the deadlines goes and he's still a Jay, he'll be up here.

[Abomination]

That's a really, REALLY nice return on a few months of Zobrist.

[Brownie19]

Looks like Zobrist's defense and base running have fallen off a lot this year. Only projected for a 2.5 WAR season right now. That's a big drop off. He's 34 now, so he's moving into the decline stages of his career...

[Spanky99]

Wow. Overpayment.

 

Yeah, that was quite a bit.

[Angrioter]

"Little Pedro" and "El jucho" reunited again

Players performance don't typically drop off for no reason, they are who they are... it's either injury or age.

[fatcowxlive]

I'd target a guy like Seth Smith to platoon in LF with someone. The Jays need some left handed bats to balance the lineup.

 

Platoon him with Valencia

[fatcowxlive]

Don't need Cesp, got Pompey

 

Are you comparing Cespedes to Pompey??

[L54]

Are you comparing Cespedes to Pompey??

 

Well considering it could potentially cost Pompey to get Cespedes, what do you suggest doing?

 

I'll take 6 years of Pompey over 3 months of Cespedes, thanks.
