JPA batting 7th--now if he could be batting 10th, the Jays would be a better team.. he wouldn't be killing rallies with his K's.
-
Not happening, especially considering Freese may be moved instead due to the emergence of Matt Carpenter.
-
Porcello and Smyly aren't prospects, Rondon is too raw, Crosby is trash.. and don't be fooled by Jose Alvarez--he's not a prospect.
-
Boy, are they going to be a shell of themselves when they come to Toronto next week if those injuries require DL stints.
-
Yes.. Porcello or Smyly would be a strong option. The Tigers don't have a lot of pieces on the farm.
-
Nope. One of the worst farms in the majors with just Nick Castellanos, Avisail Garcia, and a bunch of weak prospects.
-
JJ to Texas might work as well--Colby Lewis isn't ready yet, and Matt Harrison is out until rosters expand. And they'll need to shut down Tepesch and Grimm eventually due to innings.
-
Let's trade Zaun for a decent analyst.. he's an idiot. However, I can see Johnson, Izturis and Rajai(and Darren Oliver) being traded. Buehrle is unmovable due to his contract, Lawrie's still young, and who knows on JPA.

Rangers media talking Bautista / Profar trade..
digiblader replied to gruber92's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Bet the Angels would've done that in a heartbeat--considering their ownership is pretty stupid(see Pujols, Hamilton) -
Their current pace is unsustainable due to a poor pitching staff. Boston I do not expect to collapse--their success is legit. But they could be in trouble if Buchholz or Lester regress or get injured.
-
Not out of the question. Their pitching staff is actually worse than the Jays.. and their current rotation of starters is unsustainable. And don't get me started on Freddy Garcia. Kevin Gausman, their top pitching prospects, needs to go back to AA.. and yet we sent Sean Nolin back there after only 1 start. And they don't have Wei Yen Chen back yet. Don't forget the Yankees as well--their offense is near the bottom of the AL(even with Cano, and a healthy Tex and Youk), and the starting pitching has question marks(Sabathia's velocity, Hughes' gopherball tendencies, Pettite's age/health, Kuroda, and whether David Phelps holds up a full season in the majors. Let's not get started on Ivan Nova. And we're waiting on Pineda as well.)

Rangers media talking Bautista / Profar trade..
digiblader replied to gruber92's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Hard to say. But the Rangers need to give up more than Profar if they want Bautista. They also will need to give up some of their young pitching as well(Tepesch, Grimm, Perez, possible relief prospect Wilmer Font, Neil Ramirez, among others) It won't come cheap--AA's not giving up Bautista for nothing. -
Like the Twins, however, pitching will be a major need if either team wants to contend long term. Pitching is a major weakness in both the Cubs and Twins organizations as it stands. The Twins need guys like Gibson, Meyer, and May to pan out if they expect to contend long term, especially as the Tigers face paralysis from a coming Miguel Cabrera contract(likely $25-30M a year) and the risk their owner passes away, and they get sold to someone who slashes that team's payroll significantly due to the economic woes of Detroit. As for the Cubs, they need rotation help--Jackson is a bust, Garza's gone at the deadline or at season's end, and Feldman will be trade bait to try to get young pitching, which is a weakness in the Cubs organization.

Difficult to call. I see a decent chance we can get on a run when Jose Reyes returns next week and the schedule starts to ease up in difficulty.

Blue Jays/White Sox 6/12 postponed
digiblader replied to digiblader's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Expect SN to put the Red Sox/Rays game on in its place.. and don't forget the Yankees/A's game coming at 10pm tonight on SN1(I think) -
Game has been postponed due to inclement weather. Off to Texas we go..
-
It's fog. It's not very nice there.. and it's a problem at Wrigley as well.
-
One more week. Then Reyes will be back.
-
Empty seats galore tonight! Things must be bad in Chicago..
-
Has the Hawk had a breakdown yet after Paulie fails to drive Rios home(a common theme this year..)
-
Can't wait to hear Hawk freak out when a bad call goes against the White Sox.
-
What a dump US Cellular is! And the empty seats make it worse.. they'd rather go to Wrigley, and I don't blame them.
-
No need for Johnny Mac with Kawasaki around and Reyes due back within 1-2 weeks.
-
And Lackey hands 2 runs back on 2 HRs.. 6-2 Red Sox.
-
What the heck is wrong with Cobb? First Moore, now this...
