Official JaysTalk with Mike Wilner Thread
oakville69 replied to GD's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Wilner's defense of Coco Codera last year was inexcusable. -
Since Wilner was suspended in June 2010 for arguing with Cito, he has become a Rogers apologist. He rarely criticized Farrell despite Farrell's poor bullpen management. He is googly eyed for Gibby. On the plus side, his play by play calling is improving. I suspect when Jerry retires. it will be Hayhurst & Wilner doing Play by Play.

Garfield the cat is happy. Game winning HR!
-
I would agree with DFA Blanco , & hopefully he accepts assignment to Buffalo. Jays need some better at bats with Thole. Thole has experience catching Dickey & could be used in more games as a pinch hitter etc... JPA in cleanup position cannot be a long term solution.
-
+1.This was a much needed win. I expected Buerhle to fall apart against the red sox.
-
I totally agree with you. If Lind was facing tough lefties, he would be failing again. No point for the Jays to spend 7 milion on a bench player for 2014.
-
I think Lind is better this year. He takes walks . He is starting to hit for some power. The problem I have with Lind is that he needs a platoon partner which this year is Rajai Davis. So you have to add Rajai Davis salary + Adam Lind. Lind can't run, so he needs a pinch runner as well. If lind was hitting 290 with OBP 330, & 25 HR +, I would tell AA, go ahead & resign him. Unfortunately, it will make more sense for AA to pay $2 million for the buyout & find a power hitting DH. Morneau? Someone else? It's sad because when i started following the Jays, Lind was a star in 2009. He bragged that he & Aaron Hill carried the team in 2009.

I had the pleasure of meeting Casey Janssen at the Blue Jays Camp out at Rogers Centre in May 2011. He was very friendly & said they were doing everything possible to get JoJo Reyes his first win of the year. Casey has been incredible as a closer . Jays fans have had to suffer bad closers with Coco , John Rauch , bad BJ Ryan, Kevin Gregg etc.. When Casey is on the mound my blood pressure goes down.
-
I doubt AA picks up his option for 2014. He still can't hit LHP. Can only play 1B on defense. Jays need a better DH for 2014.
-
LOL!.Morrow has never had 30+ starts in a season. It's the first time I can recall him having back spasms. My new goal for 2013 is to be happy if the red sox don't make the playoffs. I hate the smug John Farrell & Red Sox Nation. It would be hilarious if the Yankees made the playoffs with the Jays B squad.
-
Fans should be happy that Buerhle had his first excellent start of the year.
-
Would we rather have Izturis at SS & Bonifacio at 2B every day. Kawasaki is the best the team can do until Reyes get back.

Official JaysTalk with Mike Wilner Thread
oakville69 replied to GD's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
OK, I didn't see the other Wilner thread. I love it when Wilner corrects corrects the callers grammar. -
This is a thread to discuss the latest comments from Mike Wilner's Jays Talk. Jays Talk can be hilarious after every loss when fans call up to complain & Mike shots them down. Mike like to confuse some fans by cherry picking stats & being as optimistic as possible about the Jays. I like Mike but sometimes he gets desperate to efend his point of view.
-
Beeston was interviewed yesterday on FAN590, & he said Rogers is patient & there will not be a fire sale . Having Bonifacio in getting regular playing time in the OF would be a mistake. He isn't as good an OF as I thought.
-
Hi Gordie, Yes I post a lot on drunkjaysfans.. The comments section on DJF has some technical issues , so it's hard to reply directly to comments.
-
Hi everyone.I am very impressed with the quality of discussion on this board. I am a former Expos fan that became a die hard Jays fan in 2008. I used to post regularly on the bluejays message board with over 7,000 posts.

You make a lot of good points. The Jays would look better with Jose Reyes playing 150 games a year. Josh Johnson has always been an injury risk. I think the Jays had to get Buerhle as the price for Reyes. It's funny that everyone was happy he was coming to the Jays because he could throw 200 innings a season without getting hurt. Of course, if he keeps it up, 200 innings at 6+ ERA would be historically bad. I think he should improve. The Dickey trade was confusing. AA never struck me as someone who would like a "gimmick " pitcher. I suppose it looked good on paper getting a Cy young winner. I think that better days are ahead for the Jays but playoffs are almost impossible at this point.
