Why use Sanchez as your model

Yes He seems to play balls well that are hit in front of him Hopefully the arm is better but we'll see

I'm less concerned about his arm than I am his crap range and his tendency to miss catching balls that he actually does get to. He has enormous difficulty catching balls while running back to the fence.

As a side show, Jose Canseco is acting like a massive tool

I'm sure Edwin will appreciate THAT (pffft. as if Cleveland would offer that! Ha!)

That`s right, I forgot. It was issue spring 2016

No options left?

Sportsnet ‏@Sportsnet The Yankees expect to go to arbitration with right-hander Dellin Betances http://sprtsnt.ca/2jcYitp ---- That won't be cheap

Wow You know what - These days the AL is pretty beast at the 2B position Pedroia Cano Altuve Travis Kinsler Odor Kipnis Dozier That's a pretty decent number of good hitting 2B at the moment. About half of the AL has a 2B who hits better than league average. That used to seem more rare.

If he looks good in ST I'd give Pompey a solid 6 week stint in the majors to start the season I just lack confidence that he'll stick

2016 Pompey: .270/.349/.353 (OPS .702) over 93 games in AAA Not much XB/HR power for a corner OF Even Pillar was a much better AAA hitter than that Meh

Sportsnet: BRAYDON HOLMYARD JANUARY 19, 2017, 11:27 AM The direction of the Toronto Blue Jays was unclear when superstar Edwin Encarnacion signed with the Cleveland Indians and it appeared Jose Bautista‘s days in Toronto were over. To the surprise of many, Bautista and the Blue Jays agreed on a one-year deal, but general manager Ross Atkins says that Bautista was always on the team’s radar. “Jose was a clear target for us,” Atkins said at Bautista’s introductory press conference, making it clear that there was always mutual interest between the parties and Bautista was heavily involved in the negotiation process. “It was clear from day one, it was clear from last year he wanted to stay,” Atkins said. “He said it and he meant it.” Bringing back Bautista is an indication that the Blue Jays are committed to chasing another playoff appearance. "A rebuild is not on our horizon," Atkins said, adding that the team wants to maximize how much they can win now while continuing to build upon the farm system, but they are "absolutely" going for it. Ben Nicholson-Smith ✔ @bnicholsonsmith Ross Atkins on Jose Bautista: "I think it's more likely that he has the 2015 season than he has the 2016 season" #BlueJays 11:44 AM - 19 Jan 2017 Bautista is coming off a down season in 2016, where he was on the disabled list twice and played through some nagging injuries. According to the general manager, Bautista is in great health heading into spring training. "The physical with him was similar to earlier in his career," Atkins said. "He's had a complete recovery from those injuries and we have a lot of confidence he is in very good position physically." Bautista was vocal about his desire to stay in Toronto, and reportedly turned down more lucrative offers to re-sign with the Blue Jays. The two parties agreed on a one-year deal worth $18 million with a $17 million mutual option for 2018 and a $500K buy-out, as well as a $20 million vesting option in 2020.
