I'd do the JD trade every day.
Tulo trade I didn't like, not hindsight, I just expect 1, maybe 2 of the pitchers moved for Tulo to provide a lot of surplus value
Price trade was OK, was not impressed with the kid with the van
The cupboard is quite barren. It will take a couple of years to restock the farm and a few more years after for it to bear real fruit (Syndergaard type fruit). 4-5 years is actually a bit optimistic for the Jays to have the makings of a WS contender.
And no, I haven't been brainwashed.
If Bautista gets moved, Jays would be wise to get 3-4 talented guys in the lower levels (eg. recent international signings) as opposed to 1-2 in the upper levels.
Even if the Jays get to the PS, I have serious doubts about how they stack up against the PS competition. Another month to go before decisions need to be made.
Smoak is fine as a fill-in during the 4-5 year rebuild (retooling isn't an option - Jays have to take the bottom up Cubs approach). And I can see Smoak continuing to improve.
