Blue Jays sign Clay Bucholz

[Terminator]

Julian Merryweather is another that will go on the 60 Day DL, don't sweat it bro.

 

Yes forgot about him! So we have a little bit of room to work with. That might allow Axford to make the team then.

I'm glad the Jays are giving Pompey a chance. He might not turn into anything, but this is the year to experiment with talent and see what happens.

Completely agree. Could be a good, cheap 4th OF for a few years.

jays already have four outfielders

We are going to trade Kevin Pillar to the Giants for a couple of prospects.

[jaysblue]

I missed Todd. Welcome back!

Are they still interested, that would be ideal?

 

These guys are still FA's...

Adam Jones (33)

Denard Span (35)

I think that we need to see more of our young outfielders, particularly Alford and McKinney, before we deal away KP. His value shouldn't change much between now and July.

[Terminator]

I don't hate the idea of keeping him but what better way to see more of our young outfielders than to trade a veteran who isn't controllable by the time we are going to be perennial contenders next anyway.

[Jonn]

I can only seeing Pillar having value at the deadline if a team needs to shore up their Outfield. The boat to trade him has probably already passed. Hes not even an elite defender anymore. I wouldn't expect much of a return but I would be impressed if the Jays got one.

[Boxcar]

You only see Pillar traded if a team needs an outfielder? Damn, what a take

[Carlos Danger]

That is not a good thing.

[Grant77]

I'd just rather see a young outfielder force their way onto the team instead of being handed a job and flopping. I don't have much confidence in our other CF options right now other than Gruchuk.

That's not actually what I said at all. I was suggesting his value was limited and team would look at him more as depth piece. Thought you were smarter my guy. Colour me disappointed.
