Mark Shapiro's 2 PM Press Conference

[Rajais Mitten]

Really it seriously took f***ing grange to ask a somewhat good question

[Jeff]

'Farm system will be an area of focus'

[blurnandez]

The idiocy of the Toronto sports media doesn't disappoint.

 

TMZ style questions so far.

[burlingtonbandit]

Wilner with a not bad question.

[Angrioter]

Barry Davis ‏

Shapiro says no truth to him scolding. They did discuss short term vs long term benefits. #bluejays

 

"discuss short term vs long term benefits = scolding

[burlingtonbandit]

f*** off another AA question. All these global/CTV/CITY TV should not be allowed to ask questions. Every single one is about AA.

[CJ-Freeway]

Wilner didn't get a 'Hi, Mike'. Shapiro already knows he's a douche.

 

Yeah I noticed that too. Good, because f*** Wilner.

[Rajais Mitten]

yay a spending question

[Swervin81]

Let's hope he doesn't perform the same way

 

*Shapiro drafts the baseball Bargnani equivalent in the draft*

 

Bleh.

[aselvana]

Batman: Well,Im sold.

[Rajais Mitten]

Thank god toss that stupid 5 year s*** out the window!

[thatoneguy]

Toronto media is just the worst.

[Jeff]

Won't stick to 5 year deal policy

[burlingtonbandit]

Liked what he said about Fan experience.

[blurnandez]

Finally a decent question re: 5 year FA contract limit. Good answer by Shapiro.

[aselvana]

I feel like im at Ryerson, taking my BUS 800 class. Risk tolerance,Risk Assessment,Needs-based Assessment,operating parameters. TOLERANCE TOLERANCE

[Angrioter]

Welcome to Jays organization prospects!!

[art_vandelay275]

interesting he said "most interesting... the draft" - guess he's going to hang his hat on Lindor...

[SoftHands]

Over/under on "risk tolerance" ? 22.5?

[Abomination]

FFS, stop with the AA questions.

[burlingtonbandit]

f*** off with aa questions!!

[Effit]

Pretty sure that question was already asked ffs.

[Spoonovic]

Just by judging by the press conference, hes a great hire and an even better sales man. Just like BC!

[Angrioter]

Shapiro: If you have a larger payroll, you have a larger tolerance for risk and that changes the way you do things. #Bluejays #Jays

[CJ-Freeway]

Anybody else getting the sense that this guy secretly has a bunch of human torsos in his freezer?

 

Nah, I'm getting the sense that he's a businessman that doesn't tolerate much risk...

[CJ-Freeway]

"What do you know about Canada?"

 

Jesus Christ what a question. Give that reporter a raise.

 

...still better than the 464987 AA questions that were asked.

[The Analog Kid]

"What do you know about Canada?"

 

Jesus Christ what a question. Give that reporter a raise.

 

He must be laughing inside at the number of softballs lobbed his way today given the expectation he likely had after the past week.

[The Analog Kid]

So the answer to GM autonomy is no. As long as the GM's decision makes sense (ie. Shapiro agrees), he'll sign off.

[Angrioter]

Shapiro: "no one player holds the key to the future of this organization" #Bluejays

 

 

 

Goodbye Donaldson

[Jeff]

Sure doesn't sound like he intends to keep Lacava as GM
