    Nope. Just like when everyone was calling Bautista a superstar after his first monster year. Even in hindsight I think fans put that extra notch on a guy. They call stars, superstars, very good players stars. At the time Dickey was acquired I would've tabbed him a #1 at best, but more realistically a very good #2 with an unknown future based on age and his goofy medical history.

    I never considered him a true ace. Ace to me involves durability, Dickey had 3 years to that point in his career of durability and being a quality pitcher. And two of the years prior to his CY I'd say were a #2 or a stretch a #1. His CY year was his only true ace year that I'm seeing. Syndergaard and d'Arnaud wouldn't have topped the package the Pads got for Latos. And Latos wasn't an ace at the time. But I'd definitely take Latos over Dickey any day of the week as a pitcher. Let's face it, everyone got enamoured with the trophy Dickey was lugging around.

    I still don't understand the emotional attachment/relationships with the team & fans GM's place on players and being unwilling to trade them. OMG, we can't trade this guy, he's the face of the franchise. Give it a few weeks and the tens of thousands of tears on the idiots faces that pass through the turnstiles will be dry and memories faded on missing Bautista in RF or at the plate.
  4. GeorgiaPeach
    Exactly.
  5. GeorgiaPeach
    Okay, he was brought in to be a #1, but no one in their right mind should've thought this emotionally fragile, trick pitcher, who had a couple nice seasons nearing 40 years old is gonna be this dominant force for years to come. Even Syndergaard & d'Arnaud a stupid return for Dickey wouldn't have been even close to enough to land a #1 or true ace. It was all ridiculousness that most fans and for whatever reason the Jays FO bought into thinking Dickey was this dominant pitcher.
  6. GeorgiaPeach
    It's a shame he didn't have the pedigree of a #1. I'm sorry but a couple good years don't do it for me.
  7. GeorgiaPeach
    Why?
  8. GeorgiaPeach
    Remember when Halladay was here? Boy those Jays teams were dominant with a true ace anchoring the rotation.
  9. GeorgiaPeach
    He'd be one of the first. But with the direction the FO took, and the fans love for overpaid, ex-stars there's little chance any of the guys on our 25 man are traded.
  10. GeorgiaPeach
    Yeah. They've been 2013 Josh Johnson awesome.
  11. GeorgiaPeach
    So basically Alex has gone from unconventional GM to a GM who pretty much any fan can predict the areas he's looking to address. Sounds like a man with a simple plan for a team years away from contention. Woohoo!!!!!
  12. GeorgiaPeach
    Without trading good prospects from the farm, who do you suggest we move?
  13. GeorgiaPeach
    Why not just try and upgrade anywhere? I don't understand Alex's fascination with only tending to weaknesses.
  14. GeorgiaPeach
    Expect a pretty big regression if he makes the show.
  15. GeorgiaPeach
    It's not really a drop for nothing. You're paying the penalty and most teams are ultra tight to the cap.
  16. GeorgiaPeach
    Go back and watch some of his starts that are archived on MLB.TV
  17. GeorgiaPeach
    He's turning 27 in a few months. You'd think 8+ years of coaching and instruction in pro' ball would've sunk in, on top of what he already threw before going pro.
  18. GeorgiaPeach
    Wow, you went out on a limb there.
  19. GeorgiaPeach
    Why would a projection system have Chavez in the 'pen?
  20. GeorgiaPeach
    Why couldn't Beeston have been on that Malaysian plane?
  21. GeorgiaPeach
    I can't remember an instance where an outfielder was playing close to the warning track let alone the fence. And if Lombo's on 2B, the guy that knocked him in after while on 3B, would've had Lombardozzi sitting at 3b. The Rasmus observation is like JPA refusing to alter his hitting approach with 2 strikes and continuing to try and hit jacks, its stubborn, selfish & stupid.

    A player's arm strength is one of the least valuable tools of all the tools in baseball.
  23. GeorgiaPeach
    You've misinterpreted me caring so much to overreact about the Jays and posting an observation.
  24. GeorgiaPeach
    Well aware of that. And in Tampa they even showed Gibbons trying to get Colby's attention to shift and he didn't. They then panned back to Gibbons and he was shaking his head. It's a lot easier coming in on a ball than chasing it down. And when you play deeper you're cutting down on angles of balls into the gaps.
  25. GeorgiaPeach
    It definitely isn't elite. I'm watching him get beat pretty much every game. So if the Jays are content with doubles and triples opposed to singles and doubles, that's great.
