General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread

[nextyear]

It looks like there will be rain delays this afternoon in Boston - http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/boston-ma/02108/hourly-weather-forecast/348735?hour=9

 

Looking at the radar it appears as though it might pass if they wait long enough - http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/boston-ma/02108/weather-radar/348735

 

The Blue Jays and Red Sox might need several pitchers this afternoon.

[puphood]

We will have a shot at a win with Estrada if the rain stays away....Tue against the Tigers the Jays haven't committed to Sanchez...is this a rest thing?

[flafson]

Nice read about Guerrero.

If JD's still sitting then I'd prefer the whole thing get rained out, tbh.

[Stangstag]

Who says no? EE, Yankees, Jays or this board first?

 

EE Dickey Thole for Millar, judge and Shanchez

 

Explain why the Yankees would want EE and Dickey

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Explain why the Yankees would want EE and Dickey

 

Sure soon as you explain why you think they wouldn't ?

[burlingtonbandit]

Sure soon as you explain why you think they wouldn't ?

 

Because they are not a good baseball team and will be selling players?...

[nextyear]

This might be related to Donaldson's sore thumb.

Don't believe I asked you???

 

Stangstag your other personality, forget to switch accounts or sticking up for the boyfriend! Lol

Dude I'm trying to put this in a nice way, because you're "trade proposals" are always garbage. Why would the Yankees want 2 players who are both free agents after this season? And If they are planning on making the playoffs, they wouldn't be trading Miller away.

 

You should put at least 10 seconds of thought into it before you just whip up some trade scenario.

Quite a shame Barney/Goins can't play 3B...

Dude because they are not much more worse then us right now!

 

They need a first baseman to replace Tex now and next year!

 

They have a above average bullpen even without Millar but need starters now more! If they want Chavez they can have him too for all I care!

 

Money doesn't matter to them and winning does!

 

With a thin free agent market they might see this as a Win Win and extend and sign them both as well.

Quite a shame Barney/Goins can't play 3B...

 

Barney played at 3rd yesterday with Goins at SS. I would prefer to keep that combination.

 

Barney has been hitting well and Goins has shown signs of hitting to the opposite field more like he did last year; one of Goins' biggest problems this year has been repeatedly hitting into the shift by pulling groundballs.

[Atothe]

Yankees need to rebuild, not trade for old guys

They're a lot worse than us, and I highly doubt you see them chasing impending free agents in trades unless they go on some sort of big run.

Need someone available off the bench.

So you didn't put any thought into it. Ok

So your saying there is a chance!!!

 

2-4 games worst is not a lot really, if it is then we might as well be folding tent too and trading !!!

I think our team is better than its record. Honestly I think the Yankees lineup kind of sucks, if they didn't have that amazing back end of the bullpen there would really be nothing there to fear at all. I think they'd be foolish to make any sort of "go for it" move with their roster, they just aren't winning squat with that group.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

So by qualifying either or both they may pick up draft picks too!

 

They may extend EE as well ?

 

Rebuild for them is easy when you can buy a Team!!!

 

Sign international Free agents at will.

 

Plus sign any free agent they wish!

[burlingtonbandit]

So over/under on Donaldson being out of the lineup 2.5 Games?

 

Ugh

[nextyear]

Donaldson is in the lineup, but will there be a game with the rain in the Boston area. I can't say I agree with the lineup. Goins had a good game yesterday, so why take him out for Dominguez (at 3rd, and Barney switches back to SS) - I guess the Boston pitcher is a left-hander though.

 

[Stangstag]

Smoak hurting?

[burlingtonbandit]

Nice to see him at DH but is the thumb injury not impacted by him swinging the bat? I don't see it getting any better if he's "DHing"

[burlingtonbandit]

Smoak hurting?

 

Gibbons finally realized he shouldn't be in the lineup vs Lefties.

So a couple starters average or better and boom goes the dynamite !

 

Add EE to the mix and there offense gets a boost too!

 

Our team would get a boost as well,

A left hand closer to compliment

Osuna.

 

Batz to DH, and Pompey up!

Or

Keep Batz in the Field and maybe let Jesus take the wheel !!! Lol

No. Please stop

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

Wait why is Martin batting 4th???

 

Omg and WTF even!!!

[Rusty_Savage]

We should trade for Bryce Harper too

[jaysfan2014]

Smoak hurting?

 

More likely an off-day after playing 21 straight--and to get EE some 1B time, as they have a NL series with Philly next week with no DH for 2 games.
