  1. Well both would involve Rogers selling the team, so ...
  2. That would be the worst thing that could possibly happen to the Jays.
  3. I think it's worth noting that the last time we saw this kind of disconnect between reports from a player and agent, didn't we find out later that the agent never passed the offer on to the player? I'm not saying that's what's happening here, but food for thought.
  4. Imo it all comes down to the pitching staff (and no catastrophic injuries to position players like we suffered with Reyes and Melky). If the pitching staff is healthy, chances are it will perform (although it might take some mixing and matching with the #4 and #5 slots)
  5. Sees that the Jays signed Carroll to a minor league deal. Gets ready to rant. Notices it's Brett Carroll instead of Jamey Carroll, looks up Brett Carroll. Wishes it was Jamey Carroll instead while sobbing softly.
  6. Nothing wrong with our SP depth atm, it's the lack of an additional top of the rotation guy that is an issue.
  7. Which one do you think is most likely he evolves into? http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cruzne01.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cruzne02.shtml
  8. It doesn't make sense when you consider how much of a wildcard Morrow is. There's a reasonable chance that 3 spots will need to be filled with kids + Happ, which is the problem.
  9. If Jimenez really is off the board now, then we roll with what we have (or sign Drew) imo. If we're confident in the young starters, perhaps we lock up Rasmus.
  10. There's a bunch of accounts that only post in the Kalfus thread. I have my doubts about it being multiple posters.
  11. I'd assume he was probably throwing during the suspension too, just not in actual games. Not sure exactly how the rules work for that, but you can probably tack on the equivalent of another 30 innings to the total.
  12. I don't see it as a concern, because he has the stuff (and the build also, it's not like he's a scrawny twig).
  13. I don't consider Syndargaard or Stroman to have huge question marks. Sanchez a little more so.
  14. Escobar did have a decent career, but it just didn't match his stuff. That guy had ace potential, but just couldn't stay focused throughout the entire game (hence the reason he kept bouncing to the pen). If I remember right, 95 to 97mph and a devastating splitter.
  15. Shields, Masterson, Morrow, Syndergaard, Stroman with Sanchez ready to step in next year, and take over for Morrow the following year. It sure would be fun.
  16. Considering the low salaries in that rotation, why not be greedy and have both Shields and Masterson in it? Shields, Masterson, Syndergaard, Stroman, Sanchez would be an unbelievably filthy rotation, with Alvarez traded to Seattle for Franklin
  17. Some of those players didn't really blossom when they left, they just kept doing what they did here. In fact, some of them had their best seasons here. Kent I suppose, but was traded as a rookie so is probably a better discussion elsewhere. I would say Carpenter, Fielder, and Werth were the big ones that I can think of right now.
  18. Not too bad an interview (although a little awkward in parts). What's up with those shirts though?
  19. Yeah, I'd want it a bit front loaded considering he'll be 33 when he signs it. Still, his velocity has actually increased a little the last few years, and we know he can be successful in our division.
  20. AND a copy and paste fail lol
  21. Based on age I'd certainly be more comfortable giving Masterson a 5 year deal than Shields, but I'd easily take Shields on a shorter deal.
  22. This was pretty good (especially the part about Kawasaki and the USA/RUS game) http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/jays-to-open-spring-training-in-chilly-dunedin/
  23. He put up a 3.18 ERA in the second half of the season last year, with a K/BB of 3. The wins aren't a stretch if our offense if healthy (and no black hole at C or LF).
  24. It might not be THAT big a stretch on Buehrle, even if unlikely - certainly more likely than Joyce at any rate imo.
