BREAKING: Jays acquire Melvin Upton Jr.

[jaysfan2014]

Ryan Tepera optioned to Buffalo to make room for Upton. Carrera keeps his spot..

[Terminator]

TSN Why do they even try:

 

"Third, if they Jays do decide to play Upton in their outfield over Pillar, it gives them more lineup flexibility. Upton can hit leadoff, moving Bautista down the order into a more production-focused role."

 

So much wrong with whats in that

 

What the f***. lol

 

That's like an easily-identified troll post that we see from new accounts on here about once or twice a month.

[Stangstag]

Good lineup, too bad GM just said Upton Jr will not be an everyday player...I guess a little more used than a 4th outfielder lol

 

He'll split time with JB/Saunders/Smoak/Pillar

 

Gives a good fill-in option when guys need rest.

What the f***. lol

Atkins said Upton will platoon with Carrerra for the 4th OF role

That's unfortunate

I hope Melvin Upton comes out today to say he changed his name back to BJ.

 

Go Blue Jays!

Is the Atkins press conference available online anywhere? Thanks in advance.

Not that I'm aware of. You're welcome in advance.

There is some great marketing that could be had with Upton and women Blue Jays fans.

Great marketing opportunity for the porn industry too!

 

I wonder if Melvin has any interest in getting into the porn industry?

[burlingtonbandit]

Travis

Donaldson

Bautista RF

Edwin 1b

Saunders DH

Tulo

Upton LF

Martin

Pillar

 

Seems about right to me.

 

Much rather have JB leadoff and just have Travis hit 7th. Also Upton only vs Lefties.

At least for the time being i'd switch Tulo and Bautista. Gibby's a tool so it's not likely to happen but.............

[Governator]

Not sure if anyone has bothered looking but Zeke does sport a 161 wRC+ vs lefties this year himself (career 106). I know he'll be the 5th outfielder / 25th man but it's the righties that have given him problems too.

[worldchamps2016]

Boone Logan,Carlos Ruiz and call it a day.

Last week you wanted Jonathan Lucroy and have Martin our back up.

So you wonder if Melvin is male or not?

[Atothe]

Wouldn't it be serendipitous for gbill to get banned in his thread?

You've seen his pecker?

[worldchamps2016]

If you'd have cared to read the whole post i said the better alternative to Lucroy and Will Smith would be Chooch and Logan because the prospect capital would likely be half.

 

Do all libtards have selective reading/hearing disabilities?You voted for Trudeau didn't you?

[Stangstag]

If Upton is ONLY playing against righties, he won't play until August lol. Hopefully Gibby uses Upton to give Saunders and JB some time off their feet. Maybe even Pillar a few times a month.

Or we could just hope Martin doesn't slip while bending over for the soap again.
