Dodgers get Latos and Morse

Technically I'd live right in the armpit.

he'd be in FC though

Not as cute as what Casali did to his former Vandy teammate Price (and Anibal the night before).

missed everything and no one is talking about anything but Tulo. What happened with Travis and Bautista?

wouldn't the opposite of the Jays be the Rockies?

Cause the A's wouldn't look at the same medical reports as the Reds did?

Zorilla will sign there, this was known when he was in Tampa.

so much love for Zorilla. Still want to see him watching the ALCS at home

The passport office is busy today...this is actually crazy. http://deadspin.com/latroy-hawkins-has-had-an-adorable-dedicated-fan-club-1544918951

"History has proven that works sometimes". Gems from Jamie Campbell

he answered the question about whether he feels it is enough without getting a starter to ask him again on Friday and then said something about hopefully you don't have to ask that question.

Too much pressure on the equipment manager. http://i.imgur.com/pvdMCIs.jpg

How can we get Alex into this jacket? http://stillnsync.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/JoeyFatone.jpg

Love this from Sportsnet...they ask a question about Reyes and his tenure here and play clips of his worst errors while Alex is answering.

The unfortunate thing for the Jays the trade will be judged by team stats (wins) whereas the Colorado side will be judged by the players.

Very interesting question. I'd say no. the downgrade to Goins is just too much. now Harvey and Tejada might be a different story. Even then I probably say no.

he lives in a bubble

I don't think that at all. I think Reyes being in the deal is what makes it acceptable. Turns Tulo from a free agent deal to almost half that value.

Huge June (153 wRC+) but back down in July (87 wRC+).

yes I admit that the situation might have affected him...if he gets back to the 5 WAR SS this is a clear win. I just don't like some of his warning signs (a lot pretty similar to Reyes). I think finally getting Tulo in fantasy starting just last year has soured me on him slightly. I think the next three days should be very interesting in Blue Jays world. Last time AA did this I hated the follow up move...this time if there isn't one it takes away from the Tulo move.

probably right around 5 years $100M, using HanRam as the reference point.

only reason it's different is that the Jays are a lot closer right now and that they gave up that $44M over the next two years. But the upgrade was much smaller this time as well. I don't disagree with any team making a 1 win half season upgrade and 2 win potentially the next year. But the upgrade is also another Right Handed bat that has a declining ISO and rising K-Rates and is about to hit the age where those numbers decline at the greatest rate. The positive thing is that his FB rates are actually going up. Tulo is a great hitter and he might see more fastballs in this lineup so the move might slowdown that K-rate increase as well. Like I say I understand the trade, and even just playing one Wild Card game it makes sense for the Jays. I'd even go as far as calling the Jays the WS favourite next year.
