AA about to go on TSN 1050

Probably the leading ROY before he got hurt and you want to deal him..... He is young controllable and could be a Perfect leadoff hitter.... He is part of the future for the jays.

 

I don't "want" to trade him, but I would be banking that the WAR provided by Carrasco would off-set what we'd lose with Travis/Pillar.

 

Travis/Pillar project to provide 5.5 WAR next season while CC projects 5.1 WAR so it's pretty even. Maybe get Cleveland to throw in a low-level prospect and I'd do it.

 

But you'd create a hole! LaCava says that isn't happening

 

Goins could provide 1-2 WAR next season which, compared to Travis' projected 2.8, isn't a terrible loss.

Just look at Lacava's comments. They aren't going to trade established players from their Major league Roster.

AA predicts no one accepts the QO and that players will sign earlier than usual. Interesting as you never hear him say anything lol.

That's very interesting. Let's hope Osuna doesn't blow out his arm pitching 160 innings lol.

This I really agree with. Thanks King.

[King]

AA was talking about how there is a lot that goes into free agency rather than just $. He said one year they were desperate to sign a closer, they really wanted one guy but he would only sign with teams that had a direct flight to and from his home town (to the teams city he was signing with).

 

Going to guess this was Jason Grilli.

 

AA also sounds like he's ready to sign with another team. Said he's going to take next week off to go on vacation with his family and then he'll be ready after that.

Loving loving loving Lacava and the words coming out of his mouth

[Laika]

LaCava being pretty forthcoming with some stuff. Already so much different than AA

He also just signed a multi-year deal with the Jays. Role to be determined.

WAR provided by one player is more valuable than the same WAR provided by multiple players. Substantially more.

I really hope LaCava plans to extend Osuna into the rotation, it seems pretty obvious that a lot of what he's saying is hot air.

What happens if he blows his arm out? He's done it once no reason he can't do it again. I think you should just take the 70 quality innings and take the injury risk down.

I can't find the logic in that. So many arms have had TJ and have been productive healthy SP ers. Osuna can do the same.

What if he blows his arm out in the bullpen? Pitching 3 straight days cant be good. I'd say lets shut him down for 2016 and 2017 too just to be safe.

Sounds good.

[Frenchsoup]

All im saying is you have to be careful with him, if he blows again his career would probably be over.

FFS, what if any pitcher blows his arm out? He's been a starter his entire pro career until this year. Can you imagine if the Sox had done the same s*** that you're proposing with Chris Sale?
