I don't remember for sure, but I think most people were fairly happy with the thought of Latos, but less so on Gio.
-
99% of the rumors regarding the Jays seem to be completely made up by some bored sportswriter. Let's wait until a deal actually happens before we start ranting.
-
Personally, if we're trading for Profar I would be rather unhappy if we dealt him for Lynn and Martinez. Either keep him, or deal him for someone with the potential to be elite.
-
Nice try with that. Nearly worked for you.
-
The part that was quoted says that it's up to the ump's judgement on whether the fielder obstructed the runner, not on whether the runner would have been safe without the obstruction. I didn't read it from the rulebook though, so maybe it says more about that elsewhere.
-
The forum was pretty split between wanting Josh Sale and Chris Sale though if I remember right. Josh would have been a bigger error than Deck was (I actually still think Deck may end up a major league caliber starter, although probably back of the rotation).
-
I picked a heck of a time to go to the washroom... Looking at the replays, it's obvious it was obstruction. I think Craig would have also been easily safe at home if it hadn't happened even with his bad legs.
-
I don't know if Kozma gets him anyway, but he definitely should have caught that.
-
Watching Carlos' mannerisms on the mound really takes one back to a young Pedro. Definitely no question about who his dad is
-
Players who make absolutely no attempt to get out of the way on a ball like that shouldn't be awarded the base.
-
He was absolutely right too, especially in the playoffs.
-
Izzy pretty much was that kind of player coming into the year. JPA is just bad.
-
It's an interesting problem for Farrell to have. How much do you weaken the defense to boost the offense? If we had made the WS this year, would we be seeing EE at 3rd and Lawrie at 2nd in this situation?
-
I don't think that would net Profar even if Rasmus had 3 years remaining on his contract, let alone one. Chucking in an extra arm would probably require Sanchez + one of our better relievers at minimum.
-
I'm guessing he means JFaS and didn't know what it stands for.
-
For me personally, not really. I love watching the knuckleball (used to love watching Candiotti and Wakefield too). Aside from that, Dickey will almost certainly outperform his contract, so the only thing even close to being negative imo is losing Syndergaard (don't really mind losing d'Arnaud). I also think we'll see a much better Dickey next year. He only had his full velocity for a few starts at the end of the season this year.
-
Crazy that Carpenter even got to that
-
I think any time is too soon for something like that.
-
There, that seems a lot more familiar with what we saw with Farrell.
-
For anyone interested, Rogers released the 3rd quarter financials today http://www.rogers.com/cms/pdf/en/IR/QuarterlyReport/2013-Q3_Results-Release.pdf Unfortunately they don't break down the Jays specifically, but the media division showed 10% higher profit over the last 3 months (would have been even higher without them buying The Score).
-
Looks like more complaints about Boston pitchers and foreign substances: http://espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/2013/story/_/id/9874484/2013-world-series-boston-red-sox-manager-john-farrell-says-jon-lester-doctoring-ball
-
No kidding. I'd gladly take Hudson @ 9 million too.
-
It likely doesn't matter anyway, since nothing true ever seems to leak since AA took over. He's probably inquired about every single catcher in the league.
-
Then they should sign Halladay at a hell of a lot less cost, rather than give up THAT much for 1 year of Scherzer and a horrifically bad contract in Fielder.
-
Why the hell would the Jays do that?
