Kawasaki recalled. Tepera optioned. Carrera and Valencia DFA'd.

[Deadpool]

The one positive outcome I can see from this is that, since literally everyone in the majors is on waivers right now, maybe nobody will notice Valencia...

[reedjohnsonfan]

He fits on the Yankees as David Price nemesis. I can see him on the Cards. Any team who needs help against lefties will line up.

 

I don't think so. They have a 5 man bench right now. Valencia doesn't take a roster spot over any of those guys. It would be catastrophic if he went there and haunted us vs Price though.

[Angrioter]

Valencia + Tirado + Cordero for Revere

 

 

f*** this team

[AdamLindsMom]

I wouldn't have called up Muni if it meant DannyV DFA'd. He is much more versatile and while only serviceable as a 2b.

 

Muni for Bello no problem at all he has options and would still be a piece to call on if injuries bite and a September call up at worst, but I don't make the move AT THIS STAGE if it's for Valencia which means we will lose him from the organisation.

 

They had to call up Muni. For those that haven't followed Tulo he sits 1-2 days per week. Valencia is fine for 2nd in an emergency but he can't play 1 or 2 days a week. I guess he could have been passable for 3 or 4 starts until Travis got back.

[jaysblue]

I hope the Yankees pick up Valencia and he crushes the Jays when Price is on the mound. What f***ing idiots in this organization!

[JFD]

this is just so dumb. Valencia is a great guy to have around against tough lefties. just ask Price. watch him go to the Yankees and hit a series winning HR off Price in the post season.

you hope our 0.2 Win bench player crushes our rental ace for our division rival we are chasing...... to teach the org a lesson???

 

 

 

cool

[gbill2004]

#BREAKING: Valencia farted in an elevator he was sharing with AA. That's why he was DFA'd.

Valencia has been a 1 WAR upgrade over Colabello so far this season.

[Candy Maldonado]

God dammit I hate it!

[Spanky99]

Valencia over Cola is ridiculous, period.

[Maahfaace]

I bet price might kind of regret his joking comments at his presser now lol. I bet money did play a factor in this decision, but it literally makes no sense to keep cola with smoak already manning the bench

[Travis_Snider]

dammmmmmmmmmm

[gbill2004]

I can't explain to you all how much I hate this org. This is a f***ing abortion. f*** Gibbons, f*** AA, f*** Rogers. CONTRACT THIS f***ING FRANCHISE. Just awful decision after awful decision.

 

f***.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Calm down man.

So go get Kratz from wherever he is?

[awsomest]

Valencia has been a 1 WAR upgrade over Colabello so far this season.

 

mainly because collabello is put in left field for some stupid reason which wont happen anymore, its not that big of a loss and hey I'm not saying its not the wrong move just that what you said was retarded. "damn we maybe lost .3-.4 wins over the rest of the season I hope the blue jays crash and burn"

[Spanky99]

Can't valencia be returned to the 40 man roster within 10 days? any chance that happens and this is just some sort of temporary move

 

3 days and then if a team claims him they can work out a trade, in the time frame you suggested, it shouls have been Cola? Don't get it, at all.

[SAAviour]

We need to save the 700k for when we pick Shields up off waivers.

As of right now, Colabello is still the 4th OF so don't be so sure it won't happen any more.

if pompey isnt on the team in a week ban me

[Spanky99]

dudes worth 0.2 war so far and were replacing him with a 3 win guys jesus christ people

 

Not the point.

[ElNik2013]

if pompey isnt on the team in a week ban me

 

 

Then they could've waited to make the move, couldn't they? I mean, Valencia is actually better than Colabello in LF.

 

And, don't worry, I can't ban you, nor would I , if I could.

right but defensively neither should ever step foot on the outfield

[Trouba95]

Not Valencia!

With Revere as everyday player, one of Colabello or Valencia had to go. Anthopoulos left decision to Gibby, who chose Valencia. #BlueJays

 

Confirmed Gibby hates Valencia

[baubau]

My only hope is another franchise is dumb and trades something significant for Valencia.

Common O's you know you want Danny for Gausman!

[Spanky99]

What is up with Pompey

 

I presume they just feel he needs everyday playing time and isn't quite MLB ready?

 

They love Cola's bat, pretty derpy move.
