Think positive...

*Red Button* Baaaaaaaaaahhhhhh... you have no clue about his value.

 

His value won't get any higher by waiting, and the new CBA makes holding on to players and letting them walk pretty pointless. If the Jays were an 87 win team in 2017, then sure, keep JD and make a run in 2018. If they finish sub-.500, chances are they won't be good enough next year either. It's risky holding on to him.

The record... holds no value, meat. The player does...

[spats]

Sure remedy for a struggling pitcher...pitch against the Jays..so many holes in this lineup.

i think what he's getting at is that if the overall team talent isn't good enough to win this year, then it's probably not going to be good enough next year and beyond, so spending big on a JD extension doesn't make much sense, and if you're not extending him it makes more sense to deal him before next season

Help us Michael Saunders....

I think, you put a positive spin, and I'm very aware.

[Boxcar]

I hate Ezequiel Carrera. Steve Pearce is getting the shaft so we can watch this guy's stupid face and hilariously over the top tv dives.

Steve Pearce.

[Jayday]

do you want a pat on the back or something?

A name with LGB in it ..not a chance !!

[Omar]

Steve Pearce.

 

If someone "accidentally" dropped a bowling ball on Carrera's foot I would buy them a large coffee from Tims....everyday for a week.

With our luck he would still somehow manage to avoid the DL or be back within 10 days.

That's further than the truth in his name. Try again, lad, lol

it's not a tv dive. it's his bad reads and worse routes that turns routine fly balls into a circus. he really is horrific. if he wasn't fast he wouldn't catch anything

He played well tonight, the bat???

[Jonn]

If Zeke gets traded at the deadline I will consider this season a win.

If Zeke gets traded at the deadline I will consider this season a win.

If he takes Goins with him.

[Spanky99]

It seems Goins is a lock???

Pearce's s***** April sealed his fate. A new player starting off poorly for Gibbons is like a death sentence, especially when competing for playing time with his golden child.

 

I think what offended me more was Zeke pinch hitting for Pearce a few days ago. The Jays have a manager who thinks Zeke is a better hitter than Pearce. That's a bad sign. Gibby's been less annoying since the new front office took over, but holy s***, he can still be the same idiot he was prior to that.

[Dick_Pole]

Yes!!!! Keep up with the season is over attitude. We need this. This board is the perfect contrarian indicator. A summary of a few points off the top of my head:

 

Goins will not stick - 2013

Saunders for Happ - great trade

Estrada for Lind - could have done better

Stroman is better than Sanchez - March 2016

Sanchez is better than Stroman - March 2017

Smoak sucks why the contract extension

Grilli what a great pickup he's the anchor to the BP for the next season - August 2016

This team sucks time to sell - May 2015

This team sucks time to sell - May 2016

This team sucks time to sell - April 2017

 

I see a nice long winning streak coming up.
