Fair points. He still had value though. If all Jays fans thought it was a bad trade and all Brewers fans loved it, it can be an indicator it was an over payment.
I guess AA just wanted to get rid of Lind, and had his mind set on Estrada. Like always, he's willing to overpay when he has his mind set. Looks like a great move now of course. Estrada does have a good track record, just wasn't as good last year.
Exactly. Just because he had a couple good games, doesn't mean we didn't overpay for him.
Adam Lind hit .321/.381 last year. Estrada was 'okay'. I think it was a good time to buy low on him and we gave more than needed.
First of all, who cares about the f***ing joke. There are 10x worst things being said every day on here.
And reporting it is one thing, but reporting it but 30 different people and 100 different times is another thing.
Then not letting it go and posting over and over and over again, what do you think is going to happen, of course people are going to get banned.
We don't need it carrying on in ten different threads for the next several hours.
I don't know if this was posted or not but MLBTV is 50% off and free copy of RBI15

And they have a group discount offer. So first person joins up, I think they give you a link to invite friends. You get 4 people total to sign up and you'll save another 30%
Golf is a pretty good one. I think Bau made a good point with baseball. A lot of baseball is mental. You go in there overthinking, you're screwed. Get in a slump and think about that, you're screwed.
I mentioned velocity when we traded for him and how it could play a factor but was told 'knuckleballers are different'. I can't stand Dickey. This team simply can't go on a roll with him in the rotation. I text my buddy before the game, "Three game win streak, time for Dickey to put it to an end." Every time we get some momentum going Dickey is up and puts an end to it.
What a loser. This is the type of dad that doesn't want kids to keep track scores in their soccer games either. Like KingKat said, if you have an issue, talk to them directly, instead of looking for attention.
Someone want to make a list of all Jays top prospects from reputable sources, I'll put it in a nice chart, make a new thread, and update the prospect link at the top. BJMB, this one, etc. Maybe we can take an average of all of them too.
It's funny that he makes it sound like the Jays let him walk because of the feud with Zaun. No they let you walk because you were terrible.
It's funny that no one has any interest in signing the guy, yet here we were giving the guy three full f***ing seasons as our catcher. How the f***, as a professional organization, manage to do that?
