  1. a joke btw, border guards can refuse entry for any reason....
  2. oh i know Haren is not a #1 pitcher any longer. he'll give the same number of wins for the best offense in baseball that a Hamels will for an average offence. what i am really questioning is do the jays need to trade 3 top prospects for an ace..... what difference does it make if they win 8-1 or 8-4, a win is a win
  3. why funny.... many teams have won using a strong offence and average pitching.... ever hear of the Big Red Machine? jays don't necessarily need an ace to win
  4. ah he might have border trouble.... f***
  5. Mike Leake is ideal, high GB% perfect for RC
  6. It means rather than overpay for an ace with your top prospects, keep them and get a Haren for a couple of B prospects. With Jays offense, a No 2 or 3 starter can provide No 1 starter results.
  7. with jays offense don't need Hamels..... Haren would do
  8. No, not Alford. His first full pro season and is turning heads. Use someone else.
  9. Hutch 1st game, 8 hits, 5 ER in 5 innings. Good thing the jays didnt send him back down
  10. Where did i say stroman for a rental? Just pointing out that if the objective is to win now, moving an injured player like Stroman who is unlikely to contribute this year, for the missing pieces would be in play. I didnt advocate for it.
  11. With the Jays offense do they need to overpay for a high end starter? What about guys like Haren, Cashner, Hughes that could be had for a lot less? E: or Leake from the Reds ~60% GB%
  12. There is no clear separation between the two when age taken into account.
  13. Not true. At 20 yrs old: Archer (A ball) 8.27 K/9, 6.55 BB/9, Sanchez (A ball) 9.66 K/9, 5.08 BB/9 At 21 yrs old: Archer (A ball) 9.83 K/9, 5.45 BB/9, Sanchez (A+ ball) 7.82 K/9, 4.17 BB/9 Sanchez actually better.
  14. Oh I like Sanchez and see him as comparable to a young Chris Carpenter, who turned out ok. Also, you can envision it, to the tune of 2-5%
  15. no i don't and no its not obvious
  16. Can injured players be traded? Stroman is fantastic, which is why the return would be huge. If the Jays are going to be moving top flight talent to win now, can expect an injured Stroman to be in play....
  17. In your earlier post you said you can't see any scenario where Sanchez becomes a top of the rotation starter, which is what I took issue with, and a short time later you give odds of 2-5%. Contradicting yourself.
  18. doubtful you'd be able to tell the diff from two glasses of water at the same temp.... one tap, one Brita
  19. http://www.businessinsider.com/miami-marlins-toronto-blue-jays-2015-6
  20. Roughly 1 in 10. What are your odds? My eyes are open. I'd trade anyone, including Sanchez, for the right return.
  21. A) is wrong, is correct. It was a good trade without factoring in salaries, which the great majority of casual and die hard fans don't pay much attention to.
  22. Brita = placebo effect You only think it tastes better.
  23. There were far more than 3%, more like half the board. Casual fans loved it. My first comment was 'we just became the oldest team in baseball'
  24. He's 22 yrs old with a good arsenal of pitches. He has the time and talent to be a front end starter, but he needs to make a number of improvements. And he has been improving. There is a scenario.
