  1. He really is a solid #5. Been saying that for a couple years now, but with the emergence of Stroman and Hutch, I'm ready to bid him adieu.
  2. Happ really wants that option picked up. #Determination
  3. When he decided that he wanted his 2015 option picked up.
  4. #Freetheparrot
  5. Bingo.
  6. Lineup looks much better with Lind. Can't wait until EE is back.
  7. Remember who you are arguing with.
  8. Yes, it's just so simple.
  9. Off the top of my head I believe Asdrubal Cabrera will be a FA and I like him as an option at SS if the Jays brass can convince Reyes to move over to 2B (unlikely). Stephen Drew, JJ Hardy and Jed Lawrie are also available, and I would think Drew would come cheap at this point and has already stated he would move to 2B if needed. JJ Hardy would be my top choice, but I have a hard time seeing AA being able to lure him to Toronto. 2B is really thin for options, but SS has some decent ones which I stated above. For 3B Chase Headley would make a lot of sense and we would lose nothing defensively at 3B over Lawrie and 2B would also be strong with Lawrie there. There are some other options like Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez, but I would steer clear and I doubt they would come here anyways. I'm probably missing a couple, but there are some options.
  10. We need EE back in a big way. Hopefully they can win the next two and keep things close until we get our elite cleanup hitter back.
  11. Trading both Dickey and Buehrle is suicide. I can understand moving Buehrle at his price tag in order to address other needs, but Dickey is being paid a fair salary for what he gives this team. Both eat a ton of innings and while neither is a frontline guy, they serve important roles in this rotation. Even if AA flips Buehrle he will likely have to eat a big chunk of payroll. Maybe he saves $10M? I'm not really sure it's worth it. I'd rather let all the FA's walk and not touch any of the options, only bring back Melky. Then focus on acquiring a 2B or 3B, followed by addressing the pen. Upgrading the rotation is last on my list when we have Sanchez, Norris, and Nolin all ready to contribute in 2015 along with a guy like Redmond in the mix. I just can't see AA shelling out a huge contract nor can I seen him trading away the farm for a SP. Anything is possible, but addressing the other needs on this team and letting the young SP mature will likely help this team take another step forward to being a true contender in 2015.
  12. Don't like the infield playing in here even if it is Felix. It's early enough that I'd rather get the out.
