We probably haven't seen the end of him. I doubt anyone wants him at 1.9M.

I wouldn't mind seeing him back. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having Carrera as an AAAA depth piece. Though at this point it's only fair to expect Hernandez and Alford to be ahead of him on the depth chart. Plus the 40-man roster spot.

The Jays are seriously going to miss Carrera

I think we can dump him though and only pay 1/6 of his salary or whatever that rule is.

I wonder if they’d prefer to pay him 300k to go away or 1.9M to wait a month or two in AAA then come up.

[glory]

Zeke and Goins gone in one off season?

 

Nice.

I think he's gone. Alford, Teoscar, Pompey, DSJ in Buffalo to go along with Granderson and Pearce at the big league level there's no need to pay the $1.6 mil it'd cost to keep him around.

Could invest that into depth in other places (assuming that it isn't already spent on Oh in the first place).

The OF depth is so fantastic. Almost too fantastic...

[Ultimate]

I wonder if this means that one of the young guys is going to make the team as a 4th outfielder. Maybe they rotate a few young guys through that spot so that one guy doesnt spend too much time on the bench.

 

Really youve got 4 guys who should be starting at AAA ( Smith JR, Hernandez, Pompey, Alford). If you have one of those guys at the MLB level that frees up playing time for the other 3 at AAA (not to mention Parmlee and Fields).

[Laika]

There's no room for the young guys out of the gate unless there is an injury. One of Granderson/Pearce is already on the bench. Then you need the C and very likely both Solarte and Diaz.

Yeah. There’s no room for a 5th OF unless Tulo isn’t healthy to start the year.

Pearce can go with Carrera or Morales

[Laika]

Scuba Steve is good

Yeah the Buffalo OF as is the rest of that team is looking pretty solid.

 

To go along with all those OFers it looks like Biagini might be down there to go with Borucki. Taylor Guerrieri and Pannone are interesting and they should be there as well.

 

Then there's Gurriel, Gift and Urena. Nothing special but having guys like that with options isn't going to hurt. Jansen could be called upon at C. This is the first time in a long time that we actually have depth!

[Laika]

depth boner

 

who else has one?

[glory]

With Tulo and Travis being as injury prone as they are, the team pretty much has to have Solarte and Diaz on the bench. Could always push Grichuk over to CF if need be. Not like Zeke can play CF (or LF, or RF).

I expect the decision to come down to Hernandez or Diaz. A lot of it depends on the health of Travis and Tulo.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tulo couldn't play until June. Maybe July.

[Terminator]

I would not be surprised if Tulo's days as a viable major league player were basically over.

Last I read, opening day was still a possibility for Tulowitzki.

Opening day 2019 maybe. I doubt he plays 80 games this season

Hyperbole aside, Sportsnet indicates that his projected return date is probably somewhere around opening day. Whether or not he makes that a reality remains to be seen.

Hyperbole sure, but the 80 games thing...it would be a pleasant surprise to see him over 80 games of actual healthy ball.
