Totally. I feel like i'm one of the only people who thinks that Ruth is wildly overrated.
Ruth probably = David Ortiz if he played today. Which is great, but not close to being GOAT.
Just sayin'... If the jays had tried a suicide squeeze in that Canada day game, they probably would have won. More than a couple times, they had a runner on 3rd with 1 out and a guy like Carrera/Barney/Pillar at the plate.
I got inside the dome at 11:30am, and I sure as hell wasn't leaving until the final out. The game ended at around 7:30pm. I was in the dome for 8 f***ing hours.
Great game, i'd definitely do it again.
Those are exactly the types of moves I'm talking about. First off, Jose and Edwin won't be elite for much longer. Second, the team can be improved in the bullpen/rotation/defense to offset the loss of offense. Having solid defenders at the RF/LF corners would go a long way in offsetting the loss of Edwin/Jose.
Jesus christ, why do people keep saying this? If they don't sign Edwin/Jose, they will be signing/trading for guys to replace them. It's not like Thole, Junior Lake, and Barney will be everyday players next year.
