    I wonder if Matt Davidson might be a target. We haven't heard anything about him (which adds credibility to him being a possibility). Arizona is looking for relievers.

    Are we sure it's the 11th pick next year and not the 10th? Technically I think our pick this year was 9b (ie, 9th pick but we were bumped due to someone not signing with another team the year before). The one spot may not change the other arguments, but what COULD make a difference is that the pick at 10 I believe would be protected if we signed a type A free agent.

    JPA now has walks in 4 of his last 5 games. Keep it up!
  4. Abomination
    You also can't say he's done a bad job either. 5 years from now we'll have a MUCH better idea.
  5. Abomination
    I think AA said he really wanted a bat, but the ones he wanted went before we picked. He didn't like what was available at pick 10, so went with a pitcher.

    Players take time to develop. This isn't the NHL or NBA. From 2010, only 8 of the top 50 picks (first round) have appeared in the majors so far (and two of those were fairly brief). From 2011, only 5 of the top 60 picks (first round) have appeared, and only 2 (Rendon and Fernandez) have done anything noteworthy. From 2012, only 2 of the top 60 picks (first round) have appeared (Wacha and Gausman).

    Obviously I've never been in the position myself, but I suspect it's a hell of a lot easier to take Rowdy's position on draft day than it is with a contract in front of you with your name on it and 7 figures on the check - possibly even late first round money. I still don't understand these players. Can they not make an agreement with the organisation to go to university or college (but not play on the school team), then join the Jays during the summer? Some may not have the grades to get in on academic merit alone, but I bet a lot that really want the education do. Most of the high school guys seem to play one or two years in short season ball anyhow, so it's not like they'd miss much playing time if any. It's like the best summer job ever.

    So do I, although that short porch in Yankee Stadium is a little overboard.
  9. Abomination
    We HAVE to start looking to go up the middle or opposite field. Only way to have a chance to combat that sinker.
  10. Abomination
    Time to see if the hitters learned anything first time through.
  11. Abomination
    I think it's just the mic placement, but still pretty amusing.
  12. Abomination
    Well, if we had just stranded a runner at 3rd with no one out, we'd hear about it for the next 5 pages. Hopefully we can make them pay for it.
  13. Abomination
    Batters jumping away from pitches right down the pipe to try to draw a walk should get an extra automatic strike tacked on.

    Last year, there were 19 2nd baseman who put up 1.5 war or higher. (22 in 2011, 21 in 2010) Not sure they're quite as easy to find as you suggest. We definitely need to address it though.

    Bautista, 3

    Lawrie played 2nd today in his rehab assignment (very interesting), so I suspect we will be looking to both buy and sell. I don't think Rajai nets 2 prospects of any worth, but I could see 1 midlevel one and agree with trading him and Oliver. I disagree with trading Lind (think he's more valuable to us than what we could get in return). I absolutely agree with trading Janssen if the return plugs a hole at 2nd or 3rd (although I hate to lose him). JJ is more complicated, and personally unless we got something too good to pass up on I'd rather hold onto him and take the pick or try to resign him at a discount.
  17. Abomination
    Lawrie with a big day. 2 for 4 with a home run, stolen base, 3 rbi, and playing 2nd base. Good outing for Romero too.
  18. Abomination
    Umps need to get on board with encouraging JPA to walk, not calling stuff off the corner strike 3.
  19. Abomination
    Rasmus and 1 home run
  20. Abomination
    You have to think they'd have some interest in a guy like Gose. They'll look for control, but they have some extra depth in the IF and we do in the OF. It would make sense. Both players have question marks.
  21. Abomination
    It's entirely possible that Buffalo's rotation next year could have 5 guys with the legit ability to start in the majors.
  22. Abomination
    I'd prefer Smyly personally, but either of those two guys would be a good move imo.
  23. Abomination
    I think Happ has options too. Realistically, a few guys on the 40 man are likely to be traded at the deadline (hopefully to net us an actual 2nd baseman). If Rogers puts up a few more good starts he could be a perfect choice to move.
  24. Abomination
    Are you comparing mid-season data this year with end of year data last year for attendance? Most teams probably draw better during the summer.
  25. Abomination
    Or perhaps as ransom for NOT turning on images in sigs ...
