Some would argue against that
It depends on how Happ holds up, and if Nolin or Morrow can deliver anything in the last 2 months
I guess you make whichever deal is the best overall deal - only AA knows what's out there and what the asking prices are
But 2nd half of this year and 2015? He'd be great.
3B - Beltre
SS - Reyes
2B - Lawrie
1B - Edwon/Lind
That's a MONSTER infield offensively. And maybe you try Lawrie SS Reyes 2B next year in ST
Don't like our lineup matchup today:
Blue Jays
1. Jose Reyes (S) SS
2. Melky Cabrera (S) LF
3. Jose Bautista ® DH
4. Edwin Encarnacion ® 1B
5. Dioner Navarro (S) C
6. Brad Glenn ® RF
7. Steve Tolleson ® 3B
8. Darin Mastroianni ® CF
9. Munenori Kawasaki (L) 2B
A's
1. Coco Crisp (S) CF
2. John Jaso (L) C
3. Yoenis Cespedes ® DH
4. Brandon Moss (L) LF
5. Josh Donaldson ® 3B
6. Stephen Vogt (L) RF
7. Jed Lowrie (S) SS
8. Alberto Callaspo (S) 1B
9. Nick Punto (S) 2B
Once again though, we probably could have signed him ourselves as a free agent for maybe 10% more than the Mets gave him (numbers souce = my ass)
Now we would have to trade something good to get him
Free agency can work, Blue Jays FO. It really can.
