    firesale on hold now
  2. Jimcanuck
    I don't see where.
  3. Jimcanuck
    I don't share your optimism about the Jays chances in 2017 and 2018. Bautista and EE are going to be gone most likely, Martin and Tulo will continue to decline. Two more years of control on JD after this season - after which he's not likely going to sign with a losing ballclub.
  4. Jimcanuck
    Jays took the retooling approach from 1995 until 2013-2015 when they decided to gut the farm in an attempt to win it all. Retooling approach can work if you have a good complement of cost controlled and improving youth. Jays do not have that.... Travis, Sanchez, Stroman, Osuna is light compared to other teams. And please, no one mention Pillar.
  5. Jimcanuck
    Of course. But what's the alternative? Do you think the Jays have a chance in 2017 or 2018 to be WS contender? Chance is quite low, IMO. And then JD is a free agent and likely gone. If this team does not turn it around in the next few weeks, best to move assets for prospects. Cost controlled youth is the foundation of a winning team in today's MLB.
  6. Jimcanuck
    Sorry, but I don't see anyway the Jays are contenders during the next few years, unless the budget is increased. They simply do not have enough cost controlled young players and a currently barren farm system.
  7. Jimcanuck
    Getting to the point where I almost hope they lose..... so the firesale to load up the farm system can happen. Jays need to rebuild the Cubs way.
  8. Jimcanuck
    I find it hard to believe you thought a guy coming off a Cy was going to be terrible.
  9. Jimcanuck
    Indeed, Gibby is just a moron
  10. Jimcanuck
    Well I agree with the 2nd part - I almost passed out when the trade came down. But we WERE expecting better than what we got from Dickey. No one was expecting another Cy, but most were expecting No. 1 or 2 starter numbers, not back of the order mediocrity.
  11. Jimcanuck
    Well, we were expecting a guy that just won a Cy Young to be pretty good, and there were excited pages and pages debating the Dickey effect..... and got mediocre and no effect. And yes, Thor, d'Arnaud, and Becerra too (155 wRC in A+ ball)
  12. Jimcanuck
    lol
  13. Jimcanuck
    why Josh?
  14. Jimcanuck
    someone needs to put together a highlight package of bats in RF and convince him to move to 1B/DH
  15. Jimcanuck
    run is all bautista, can't fault dickey here
  16. Jimcanuck
    Great, already getting under the ump crew skin After Texas and Minny, umps are not gonna do Jays any favours
  17. Jimcanuck
    Temperature expansion and contraction of metal and concrete..... likely more to do with overnight low temperatures and temperature differential between inside face and outside face (open to atmosphere) of the materials. Current air temperature not the only criterion. Even in mid June if the overnight low dips to 4 or 5 degrees with daytime temperature in the 20's, may not be opened (or closed) due to temperature differential and warping of material
  18. Jimcanuck
    Never, he's a clown
  19. Jimcanuck
    first the rangers, then the twins better not be a controversy in this yankees series or jays are gonna have a bad rep
  20. Jimcanuck
    Yes, same starting 5 next season. Then by 2018 one of the prospects should be knocking.
  21. Jimcanuck
    A stringbean, needs to get on the Stroman - Sanchez regimen.
  22. Jimcanuck
    Well, that's a stupid theory. So he purposely sucks so he'll get an even smaller payday?
  23. Jimcanuck
    I figure Sanchez is in the rotation until the AS break.... he will have amassed roughly 110 IP, with another ~to come from the bullpen in the 2nd half for 150 on the season Just too bad Jays may have to add a B prospect for someone to take on Storen
  24. Jimcanuck
    Agreed, with Loup returning and Sanchez slated to be moved to the 'pen
  25. Jimcanuck
    RP are volatile is what it means. Large performance variations month to month, year to year. Trying to attribute his performance to "he doesn't want to be here" is bogus
