Like 10+ years of an absolute monster at a position that's surprisingly tough to fill. No regret will be had.
-
I think this is very wise.
-
All the more reason to sign Jackson. Junior Lake is awful.

To get a feel for how important it is to have depth beyond the 4th OF, you really just need to have been paying attention to this team. 2015 pre-season Top 4 = Bautista, Pillar, Pompey, Saunders time in OF for Pennington, Tolleson, Valencia, Carrera, Goins, Diaz, and Colabello = 182 games, 1118.2 innings * team had to trade for Revere mid-season 2014 pre-season Top 4 = Bautista, Cabrera, Rasmus, Sierra time in OF for Encarnacion, Mayberry, Reimold, Diaz, Tolleson, Gillespie, Gose, Mastroianni, Glenn, Pillar, Pompey = 202 games, 1247.33 innings 2013 pre-season top-4 = Bautista, Cabrera, Rasmus, Davis time in OF for Bonifacio, Gose, Sierra, Pillar = 150 games, 1037.32 innings We're talking about over 1000 innings per season being played by guys who weren't in the opening day 4-man OF rotation. Someone gets hurt, and the carousel of replacement-level garbage revs up. As things stand now, those innings are going to Junior Lake and Ezequiel Carrera. There is going to be plenty of playing time for Austin Jackson this year.

Guys, the OF depth chart right now is: 1. Bautista 2. Pillar 3. Pompey (probably fine, but 23 and has 146 MLB PA) 4. Saunders (just had his meniscus removed and missed pretty much the entire season) 5. replacement level trash The team is one injury away from Saunders being forced to play every day, and the 4th OF being some combination of players from the 'replacement level trash' pile. There are only four outfielders in the org that are any good, and two of them will have huge error bars on their 2016 projection. OF is not an area of depth right now. It is very likely that a group of players that isn't currently in the top-4 gets at least 300 PA next year. Giving them to Jackson instead of Junior Lake or Ezequiel Carrera adds wins.

Can you imagine the fan backlash if Shapiro waxes poetic about his top priority being to keep Price, and then Price's agent says publicly that they never made a competitive offer? Shapiro would (rightly) be crucified by the Toronto media.

ITT: we learn that casual fan reedjohnsonfan is seriously butthurt that the mean man didn't bring back his fave player.
-
It works exactly like that.
-
Jackson is a perfect fit.
-
One is decidedly more manly.
-
I don't pick until 40. You can send it to me if you want.
-
Clayton Kershaw!
-
McCutchen second round!?
-
omg
-
You must have been so f***ing giddy about dominating that league as the first round was developing.
-
He's about five picks too early for me to dream about Cano being in play for him.
-
Hey guys, remember when the BBDL let Giancarlo Stanton fall to like 16th overall for JFaS?
-
connorp can still give us what we want here
-
Well, he didn't f*** it up.

-

-
Spittin getting cold feet?
