So what are the odds that it was the Blue Jays who posted the highest bid?

 

0.5-1% maybe?

 

15%

The combination of Jose Reyes at SS and Devon Travis at 2B was a defensive catastrophe. Goins at SS and Travis at 2B was slightly better. Reyes at SS and Goins at 2B was actually a decent combination (but not as good as Tulowitzki and Goins).

 

Tulowitzki at SS and Devon Travis at 2B is defensively an unknown. 20 years without going to the post season has shown that the Blue Jays can't win by focusing on offense.

 

From 1994 to 2014, we were 8th out of 30 teams in pitching WAR and 22nd out of 30 teams in position player WAR. Unsurprisingly, we were basically a .500 team that entire time.

 

If anything, the past 20 years has shown that we didn't have enough hitting.

This is the best post in this thread.

 

If the Blue Jays announce that they are bringing David Price back or another high quality pitcher then that will be welcome news. Bringing into a Byung-Ho Park will signal regression in management philosophy and it will be time for me to find another team to root for.

 

WooHoo... c'mon Shapiro sign this man, please!!!

Devon Travis played in 62 games of the 162 games in 2015, and the Blue Jays were 10 games under .500 in the games in which he played. He only had 238 plate appearances. Devon Travis had nothing to do with the Blue Jays getting to the ALCS.

 

Devon Travis isn't underrated defensively, he did not contribute anything defensively to the Blue Jays getting to the post season. That is simply a fact.

Off the top of my head, you have the Rockies and Pirates with obvious needs and the Phils, Brewers, Padres, Cardinals, and Marlins who could make room for him.

 

Cardinals? Don't they have Matt Adams coming back.

This doesn't prove your point since positional player WAR includes offense and defense; being 22nd in positional player WAR could mean that they could score runs but were poor defensively. Likewise being 8th in pitcher WAR could mean that they had strong pitching but poor defense (since pitching WAR use FIP, although I have no faith in the FIP stat).

 

Do you have the stats for team runs scored (RS) versus team runs allowed (RA) over the period of 1994 - 2014?

Why don't you provide some actual substance to your posts? What I stated was an obvious fact, your reply was just another asinine response.

Because providing substance in my reply would imply that I thought your post to be legitimate when it is simply trolly garbage. If you don't understand how sports work, take a seat.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever managed to get any type of university degree? I have met many people who call others dumb because they can give an intelligent, factual response.

Nope, did not attend university. What does that have to do with anything?

I don't think they like him against lefties, seeing how they signed Mark Reynolds. I don't think it's likely, but you never know.

I thought nextyear was just uninformed, not a troll. I don't respond to dogg or grant, for example.

Otani's better than Maeda? Thanks for the heads up, might watch it, if I'm up.
