Of course. Just less wrong than the Jays FO has tended to be when it comes rounding out the 25 man roster.

Replace Sanchez with Goins, JPA, Thames or Sierra. More often than not, internet consensus has been right and the FO has been wrong when it comes to situations like this.

Now that I think about it, recent guys who the forum had a consensus "plz don't do this" opinion about: Thames, JPA, Goins, Vizquel, Sierra, Thole DeRosa is one of the only players I can think of that we didn't want, and who actually played well.

I'm pretty sure that when it comes to opinion on preseason 25-man decisions, the 100+ IQ bluejaysmessageboard.com posters are way ahead of the Blue Jays front office.

your dumn

People keep posting about everyone 'giving up' on Sanchez. What does this even mean? The biggest pessimists on the forum as far as Sanchez is concerned are skeptical that his skill set will translate well to the rotation, and would prefer he work on a 3rd pitch and hopefully dominate at AAA, or get traded if some other GM values him higher than some of his red flags dictate that maybe he should. Nobody is saying that he should be discarded.

Allow me to be the first to tell you that nobody but you gives a s***.

Votto is like 55% better than Phillips offensively.

lol ang

Brandon Phillips is a f***ing idiot lol

"I don't do that MLB Network on-base percentage (stuff),'' Phillips told USA TODAY Sports. "I think that's messing up baseball. I think people now are just worried about getting paid, and worrying about on-base percentage, instead of just winning the game. "That's the new thing now. I feel like all of these stats and all of these geeks upstairs, they're messing up baseball, they're just changing the game. It's all about on-base percentage. If you don't get on base, then you suck. That's basically what they're saying. People don't care about RBI or scoring runs, it's all about getting on base. "Why we changing the game after all of this time? If we all just took our walks, nobody would be scoring runs. Nobody would be driving anybody in or getting anybody over. How you going to play the game like that. People don't look at doing the things the right way, and doing things to help your team win. "I remember back in the day you hit .230, you suck. Nowadays, you hit .230, with a .400 on-base percentage, you're one of the best players in the game. That's amazing. I've never seen (stuff) like that. Times have changed. It's totally different now. "But that's just me. "And I don't give a damn what people think about me.''

You sonofabitch

I'll probably nab him in the waiver draft next year as a late-week SB play.

Ziegler for Navarro makes is so obvious that you have to think it was one of the first scenarios discussed when the teams chatted. With Arizona's black hole at C and glut of relievers, I'm assuming Toronto isn't interested in Ziegler.

Hamilton. He's going to keep throwing 2-3 win seasons on the board as long as his legs hold up, and he could BABIP his way to some 4-5 win years.

I kind of feel like D-Backs fans would be laughing at us if they saw us discussing Navarro for Inciarte. 1 year of a $5M replacement-level catcher for 5 years of a 1-3 win OF who is a plus defender at all 3 positions and only makes 500K this year. I don't think they're in the same hemisphere value-wise.

Lol

lmao

Anyone else remember Luke Prokopec?

It's 1:20 PM...

Yeah. I'll be surprised if Navarro isn't DHing at least 3 times a week. Bleeding runs at 1B to get that 100 wRC+ bat in at DH!

Yup.

Bolsinger getting the spot would really take away from the fun we're all having with Boxy in the LOD.

Yeah. And they save like $4M by cutting him now. I'm sure there were no takers for the $5.5M he was owed.

I think he might go top-10 now that I think about it. Who goes ahead of him? Trout Cutch Harper Goldy Stanton Kershaw Puig/Abreu/Tulo/Posey?
