General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2023)

We should trade Biggio to the Red Sox for Tanner Hauck or some sorts of odds and ends revolving around that. They are in desperate need of MI help and Biggo could play 2b for them and back up other positions.

 

Good proposal right here folks

[Laika]

Red Sox seems to be completely mishandling Houck and Whitlock. Jerking both of them around between the bullpen and rotation, in different directions.

Surely to god they'll just put both of them in the rotation this year no? I can't see them giving up Houck for Biggio. They'll just go sign Josh Harrison and Iglesias and battle for 4th place.

That's how I saw their next move. I can't see Houck being moved for Biggio, although that park would do him well.

I love Houck. He looked great out of the BP last season for them. Could start as well.

[Jimcanuck]

Durability / stamina was the question with Houck as I recall. Ability to maintain velo into the game.

They have no choice

 

They're despately short of quality starters and ill advisedly spent some $$$ on the bullpen already instead

[Jonn]

Everyone wants to trade Biggio. Has anyone ever asked Cavan what he wants? : (

I think he wants to be better at beisbol

[L54]

I would love to trade Biggio for anything of value. If Barger is relevant Biggio becomes useless on the roster.

[Terminator]

I've been telling you guys for years that Biggio sucks and it looks like you all are finally starting to agree with me. Deadpool is mad at me and since I respect him I'll refrain from posting the Gronk football spike this time but I am reserving the right to change my mind in the future.

Years or weeks?

[Krylian]

Are we a lock to sign this guy?

 

Unless he gets hit by a bus or gets caught hitting the crack pipe.

What option would be worse. Instant death or addiction to crack ruining your Baseball career? I think I would rather take the bus.

[Spanky99]

If I'm not mistaken, there's all kinds of guys already in Dunedin. I mean, why wouldn't they be, top of the line facility and take your fam when you can, all's good right now. Edited January 11, 2023 by Spanky99

Makes sense a lot of guys already live near the Clearwater area. It’s meant to be accessible always. Wouldn’t be surprised if players make frequent stops to the facility well ahead of time.

Oh ya. January 15th is really just a formality and for show. Unless something goes terribly wrong, everyone knows where they're going and for how much. In fact, next year's class has a pretty good idea as well... Or at least a good chunk of them.

It's also 22 C and sunny. So yes!

Yeah, Shapiro's in shop there as well. lol. This facility is what draws all these guys.

I was addicted to a whole host of s*** throughout the 80s and 90s including crack and none of it was that bad tbh. I'd choose the crack.

Explains a lot to be honest.

I'm sure the local Dunedin bars can't wait for Pete Walker to be back in town. Apparently his bar tabs are legendary and he's also a good tipper from what I hear.

[Spanky99]

On the Danforth, I push meth and crack heads aside, even when friends. Haven't seen you in years and WAT??? Step aside, especially after I spent time to help you.

Well to clarify it did have some consequences. It lead to several failed marriages and I did a few short term stints in the clink. I was also disbarred as an attorney. I suppose my relationships with my children could have been better. And I guess I have had some ill health effects like a couple of heart attacks.

 

But other than that it wasn't that bad really. Much better than being hit and killed by a bus.

Big tipper - won't pay for an uber. Classic guy in his early 50's.
