  1. Bautista for me tonight
  2. Short TSN piece on Delabar: http://video.tsn.ca/?dl=main/latest/1/0/961360/clip/522
  3. It helps that Casey has a club option for 2014 in his contract: 2 years/$5.9M (2012-13), plus 2014 club option signed extension with Toronto 2/13/12 (avoided arbitration, $2.2M-$1.8M) 12:$2M, 13:$3.9M, 14:$4M club option (no buyout)
  4. Joey Votto is f***ing awesome: http://jeffcrews.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/july-4th-2013/
  5. Nicholson-Smith on signing Bickford: http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/coach-bickford-relaxed-as-deadline-nears/
  6. Good question Yes I was, and such variability would be possible, but in the case of the Jays it doesn't seem to matter. Comparing apples to apples (first half of 2012 vs first half of 2013) the amount of increase is the same: First half 2012: 1,224,816 total, 26,626 per game First half 2013: 1,445,173 total, 31,417 per game + 4791 fans per game Source: http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=mlb/teams/040/attendance.aspx?team=040
  7. Of course There is ZERO point in acquiring someone who will only play second half 2013 with us. Anyone acquired needs to fill a need for this season and next at a bare minimum, and preferably longer.
  8. Yeah It's Philadelphia and Tampa who should be worrying I think (Well and maybe Miami but they don't have to sell any tickets to make money with their payroll hahahaha)
  9. Go 2013 Blue Jays!!! LOL
  10. Given: 1. An excess of high quality bullpen arms in the system 2. Major holes elsewhere (2B, C, SP) 3. Teams in contention with money and crappy bullpens (Red Sox, Tigers) It would be insane not to make a move this month
  11. Some relative numbers from 2012 to 2013: Jays are up 4,790 per game compared to last year (an 18% increase) Of course, it's easier to go up when you had a few years of dismal attendance, but still nice to see Miami is down the most (not surprising), but Phillies are way down too. Only the Jays, Orioles and Nationals are up a significant amount compared to last year What's the Hell is wrong with Pittburgh fans?!?!?! They're not up at all compared to 2012. In fact, they're down slightly, 22nd rank in attendance, despite having the 2nd best record in baseball. http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/current_attendance.shtml
  12. The biggest mistake at this deadline would to make no move at all
  13. Maybe My gut feeling was that it was something even bigger (Felix Hernandez) - remember the guy who was badgering Ken Rosenthal on Twitter saying he knew The Jays were having meetings with the Mariners about possibly trading for him? I was never 100% convinced that was actually BS.
  14. We know little We know that last season, long before the Marlins trade, AA was "really close" to a deal that would have had "major payroll implications" and Beeston/Rogers were on board P.S. Who did we think that deal was for anyway?
  15. Attendance, on average, is down across major league baseball. But we are one of a few teams seeing continual increases. The most recent data I can find online shows an average of 31,417 fans per game at Rogers Centre, and a total of 1,445,173 fans so far this season. That ranks, I believe, 6th in the AL and 14th in all of baseball http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=mlb/teams/040/attendance.aspx?team=040 Hope it keeps up, and I hope the team gets in to the thick of things in the second half to help maintain it.
  16. There was also the repeated statement that attendance had to go up in order to be able to spend more on payroll. And it (attendance) has been, and it (payroll) has.
  17. Exactly right. And I love a good value acquisition at any time. Rasmus, Delabar, Escobar, etc all good trades any time you do them. He's always looking for similar deals and I'm sure he is right now as well.
  18. Yep. Crazy to have all that even with Wagner and Perez in the bigs and Santos on the DL Crazy depth. (sadly, the only area we have depth...)
  19. True. He seems to be a buyer every trade deadline.
  20. I'd use Delabar or Cecil on any given night depending on the matchups and level of rest When Santos is back he's your 8th inning guy at first but could win back the closer role if he's lights out
  21. Janssen to the Tigers. Dombrowski and Leland want. Delabar/Cecil closers by committee.
  22. Yep. Guys like Travis D'Arnaud and Will Myers don't grow on trees. Do they all make it big? No. But they can change a franchise for cheap $ when they do.
