Blue Jays acquire Ben Revere

[baloojayz]

 

Wat? I can see why we would want cash, but wth from the Phillies perspective?

[CHRIS]

Like it or not, you gotta believe Gibby bats Revere leadoff.

 

I like it not.

[King]

LOL I like some metallica as well Saw them in Quebec a few years ago/

 

Mj^

[King]

By the logic of my name was too close to Angrioter, does that mean I am now mocking you, King? I promise I'm not.

lol

[MagicMike]

Fangraphs didn't have Cordero ranked in our top 35. Tirado was 17.

 

This seems like a good deal right? #17 and #35 for 2-2.5 WAR Outfielder?

 

Evaluating the trade by the ranked # the prospects were in the system seems like a flawed idea

[Followthelight]

Mj^

 

What does this mean? IS this a board meme?

 

I cannot see it being a lot of cash or Armaro is dumb

[KingKat]

Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.

[Nafro]

Okay so AA turned Reyes,Hoffman, Tinoco, Castro, Norris, Boyd, Labourt, Brentz, Wells, Rassmusen, Tirado, Cordero into Troy Tulowitzki, David Price, Mark Lowe, LaTroy Hawkins and Ben Revere. He managed to only add the 8 million in salary he said they had. He filled the holes everyone was screaming we had. I could not be happier as a Blue Jays fan.

[Atothe]

That deal was definitely Amaro

[frizzer1]

Why don't you guys want revere as leadoff?

His numbers are similar to reyes and he can steal bases....??

Earned himself an extension over the last 12 months.

Yes now there is no excuse...this team is more then good enough to win, this is a very good team.

[JaysFan4Ever]

Phillies sending the Jays cash as well, lol.

 

Really? lol So, is it officially a hosing now?

Like this guy already. (Assuming guy 'cause history has shown...)

[CHRIS]

On no planet should Edwin hit above Tulo.

 

And in no universe, parallel or current, should Revere hit anywhere higher than 7th in that lineup.

[frizzer1]

My lineup when healthy..

Revere

Donaldson

Bautista

tulo

EE

Martin

travis

Cola/smoak/Navarro

Pillar

[baloojayz]

This trade is frekin awesome.

 

We got Revere and Travis for some pretty small pieces, I like these trades way more than the big ones.

[MagicMike]

Don't get why people are not wanting Revere as leadoff... suggest a better option.

[Virgil_Hiltz]

Thinking the same.

Maybe Beeston had some photos on Gillick and held onto them for an appropriate time??

COuld be a meme, who KNows, really?

[Swervin81]

When healthy:

 

Travis

Tulo

Donaldson

Bautista

Edwin

Smoak

Martin

Pillar

Revere

[gbill2004]

@ArashMadani: Gibbons says Revere will be used in a "platoon-type deal." Likely will hit in the ninth spot, the Blue Jays manager says.

Tulowitzki.

WOW, is this the same John gibbons?

[dineke]

Tulo, Donaldson, Bautista, Martin, or travis.

Travis or Donaldson would be my leadoff guys. Revere bats 9th for me.

[bendera3]

Revere has made a career out of being a speedy singles hitter. Perfect for 8th or 9th in the lineup.

[Followthelight]

Now if he would stop hitting Collabello clean-up.

[Sorrow]

I'd hit Revere 8th as he can score on a Pillar single.

[nmrch]

That's a pretty horrible return for Revere, although i am glad for once the fat greek did not get us ripped off
