[Trouba95]

All jokes aside, I really hope AA isnt in better shape than 99% of the board

 

lol better than me

I've met quite a few people from the board and none of them were as fat as AA.

Shapiro says when constructing a roster he ideally wants to build a balanced team that's top-five in runs scored and runs prevented.

 

Sooo hopefully that means no more Revere, no more Bautista in the OF, and Heyward coming on board!

[Trouba95]

Is Ross Atkins a saber guy?

[o2cui2i]

Wasn't aware of that but I guess it makes sense for Canadians on the West Coast.

 

lots of people from Southern Ontario as well. People who hate the humidity go to Phoenix. My Grandfather had an Airstream parked there for 20 years.

Shapiro is a stud

 

Could care less about AA ego at this point

 

Couldn't care less.

Is Ross Atkins a saber guy?

 

I heard that he prefers straight swords and rapiers

[Jonn]

Im catching up. Blair is really pissing me off.

Ask JFas. That clown would know

[o2cui2i]

At the same time I think its clear Shapiro will build the facility for where is best for the Blue Jays franchise, not Blue Jays fans.

Trolls in full force today. Though I suspect it's just the one guy.

It's anemicoffense. The usernames give it away.

Guy asks to get banned and then comes back with a million accounts. Um.. o.k.... weirdo.

"Mods R fluoride swilling fascits!"

But really - when doesn't Blair piss everyone off? He's the worst.

Anyone who religiously follows Alex Jones has serious mental issues.

That's pretty close to saying "we want to have the best pitching/defense and the best offense in baseball" Like thanks Captain Obvious....everyone wants that.

I'd like to see his thoughts on pitching in general, and see his actual thoughts on K/9, FIP, etc.

come on... Alex Jones produces some of the best comedy you can watch.

[Cyris]

Anyone have a link to the full press conference?

[thatoneguy]

His voice is aneurysm-inducing though.

[o2cui2i]

His voice is aneurysm-inducing though.

 

this is true, but the content is classic comedy.

 

might as well be this guy

What's that **** saying now?

[TilsonBritoFan]

The Shapiro nut hugging on here is baseless at this point. Im all for giving the man a chance but some of you need to get off his jock.

 

Let's wait and see what he does.

lmfao

 

So being excited that there is finally a decent baseball mind sitting in the president's chair of this organization is baseless?

The org has gone from Paul Godfrey to Paul Beeston to one of the best baseball minds in the game at team President. This is huge.

to finally have a baseball first guy in charge could be a huge shift for the team, should be...

 

he talked a lot about collective decisions. It will be very interesting to see, if any, what saber guys he brings into the fold to help with the date to make those decisions. no disrespect to AA but it will be very nice to here legit discussions on why player moves are made instead of just about AA's bowel discomfort.

I hope his drafting improves from his Cleveland days.
