Blue Jays acquire Ben Revere

[Sammy225]

Cola is a nice bench piece, depth. For years we have been saying we need depth now we have it. Keep him. Having Smoak and Cola on bench is kinda like Tabby and Mulliniks back in da day

 

Why would you want two guys who truly are first baseman (Bello is not an outfielder no matter how you slice it) for late in games..... Bad roster management

[reedjohnsonfan]

So who's the odd one out? Carrera?

[King]

Did we just add Jose Reyes back into the lineup (with a different name, plays OF, and is defensively better)?

 

So in another words.. not jose reyes

 

Gotcha

Those guys could play something other than 1B. Although I wonder if Colabello stays and Carrera is gone.

[KingKat]

Probably fine with batting at the back of the lineup too.

If it's for Pompey or Alford I'll rage. I know we're in the All in mind set but I've got the, hey there is the future still, mindset.

[TwistedLogic]

If they gave up Alford or Pompey for Revere, I'll lol so hard.

[jays76]

Colabello is regressing as expected. Those PAs need to start going to Smoak.

 

I agree but I still want him there in case we need a late game pinch hit on occasion.

[baloojayz]

If we give up anything significant it's stupid IMO. I would have much rather Pompey up

 

What is with all the hate? The guy is very solid. Pompey is still figuring out AAA look at that BABIP.

i am expecting Alford or Pompey or DJ Davis going...... Revere isnt a rental right

 

DJ Davis and someone like Andy Burns would make sense.

[baubau]

i am expecting Alford or Pompey or DJ Davis going...... Revere isnt a rental right

 

One of those isn't like the other.

[Brownie19]

He brings speed to the base paths that we lost in Reyes. I like the move assuming we didnt give up much

 

I agree with this. I was thinking we really have little to no team speed after losing Reyes. This is solid IMO, but the team must hate Pompey....

[Brownie19]

i am expecting Alford or Pompey or DJ Davis going...... Revere isnt a rental right

 

He is a rental isn't he?

[Sammy225]

He is a rental isn't he?

 

Controlled till 2017

[GD]

Revere has two more years after this.

 

I'm expecting Reid-Foley on the high end, Hollon/Greene on the low end.

[bronson44]

He is a rental isn't he?

 

Controllable through 2017 I believe

[jays76]

AA is an all-star. He's done everything possible for the Jays. Even if we don't make the playoffs he should stay

 

I would never complain but I kind of wish we had gotten Parra and the O's got Revere.

[TwistedLogic]

Somebody who shall not be named just tweeted that "multiple industry sources are questioning if Revere has been dealt to the Jays".

I expect Parra to regress he is playing well over his head

[JaysRap]

My guess is it's for DJ Davis.

 

Side note: Maybe Revere bats lead off until Travis comes off the DL

[baloojayz]

If they gave up Alford or Pompey for Revere, I'll lol so hard.

 

How much better than Revere do you expect Pompey to be?

[TwistedLogic]

If they wanted Revere, they should have just picked up Rajai as part of an extension of the Price trade.

[TRM]

How much better than Revere do you expect Pompey to be?

 

Approx half a win.

bowden? everyone else is usually pretty good

[Spanky99]

He is a rental isn't he?

 

No man, he's arb eligible for the next two years.

[reedjohnsonfan]

If they wanted Revere, they should have just picked up Rajai as part of an extension of the Price trade.

 

Why? Revere is a better player and makes a little bit less. Also hits left handed.

[bronson44]

We needed a lefty bat more

[RIPEXPOS]

I think hes gonna cost more than alot of you think. Hoping we didn't deal Alford for him.

[Brownie19]

Revere has two more years after this.

 

I'm expecting Reid-Foley on the high end, Hollon/Greene on the low end.

 

[Atothe]

As long as Alford, Pompey, Urena, Pimp-Foley and Tellez aren't involved I'm good
