I read this as: Russ got hammered and hurt his knee, then lied to the team about how it happened.

 

Or as Spanky calls it..... Tuesday

[Governator]

Man this team has found some f***ed up ways to injure themselves the past few years.

 

Saunders with sprinkler

Izturis dugout stairs

Stroman fielding a bunt in practice

Pillar with his superman sneeze

Martin's fake sauna injury that likely involved hookers & whisky

Darwin Barney has a WAR of 1.2 in 213 plate appearances and 68 games - http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=2430&position=2B . His contract is for 1 million dollars for one year (2016). He has shown that he is good at 3B, SS and 2B and decent in LF (he might even be good at LF). He can even catch in an emergency, and pitched an inning.

 

He has close to league average run production; maybe now would be a good time for the Blue Jays to extend his contract while they can probably get him relatively cheaply.

What do you think, a 2/7 extension?

That sounds high considering that he was in AAA for most of last year, but maybe just an extra year for $2M. According to fangraphs his contract with the Cubs for 2014 was $2.3M, and it was $2.5M in 2015 with the LA Dodgers and Blue Jays, but it decreased to $1M with the Blue Jays this year.

Could do a 1 year extension with an option year to get it done likely (say 2.5 million, plus a 3 million team option)unless Barney really feels confident in a guaranteed multi-year deal as a backup utility IF on the open market.

 

I don't see a lot of backup infielders signing multi-year deals for any real cash. If there's a team that actually sees him as a starter though after his good year... he'll be gone.

He won't be leaving until the end of 2017--what you forgot was that he's still arb eligible for next season, as he doesn't have 6 years service time. Jays still control him for 1 more season.

OK. So he won't be a free agent until the end of 2017. That is good for the Blue Jays.

Jose Bautista is only hitting 0.091 in AAA - http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t=g_box&gid=2016_07_24_gwiaaa_bufaaa_1&sid=milb . However, it is only 3 games so it does not mean very much, but still I thought that he would be knocking the cover off the baseball down in AAA.

Basically means nothing--as long as he's healthy, he'll be back on Toronto's roster tomorrow, leading off and playing RF.

Not sure why you would bring this up... Its 3 games...

Hopefully DHing with Upton in RF : ) or Reddick or CarGo. We need an outfielder.

[RealAccountant]

When guys like Bautista go on rehab assignment they aren't always looking to hit the ball off the cover

 

Just looking to get 100 percent

[nextyear]

Based on this tweet by Bautista, it seems that he will be back tomorrow (Monday):

Ross Atkins tells @TonyMassarotti it’s “more likely than not” that Aaron Sanchez’s innings will be limited this year, but no exact number.
