Paul Sporer.

I have no qualms with fake tits.

Reyes' best defensive asset is his arm strength which would be wasted at 2B. It would also be terrible business practice to ship out one of the teams most valuable assets out because Ryan Goins is capable of playing SS. Reyes will be a Blue Jay for the duration of his contract. Maybe they try to get him in LF in 2016 but that will only happen under a new regime. AA doesn't have the balls to make him. He's his favorite player and is probably the entire reason the Marlins trade happened.

That's a good kid right there. In before the "omg cruelty" or "he has a small penis" statements.

Would not give up BA's #10 Jay's prospect, but would give up 11, 12 and 13. Do you see the logic fail here?

Good man GD.

The reason people are jumping on him is because of his hypothetical scenarios that go something like this: Lawrie could hit .280 with 20 home runs. Graveman and Nolin could become a solid #3/4's and Barreto could be a top 25 prospect. Donaldson could die in a plane crash tomorrow and we would lose all surplus value. Great trade by the A's. Holy f*** man, obviously all of those are within the realm of possibility. We don't need him telling us that. I try to look at things objectively without my blue shaded glasses on. It's the type of trade that the A's are built on, and will probably work out nicely for them. Lawrie provided them with a 3B to replace Donaldson who will end up being much cheaper, a couple guys to chew up innings and a SS prospect to replace the void filled from the Russell trade. The Blue Jays acquired an elite player by only subtracting Lawrie from the big league roster. He parades around here acting like he was the first one to realize the trade wasn't a heist. Anyone with half a brain on the forum as acknowledged this from the beginning.

You're kidding, right?

Saying that people underestimate the chances of Donaldson collapsing is ridiculous. He probably has one of the safest floors in the league due to his defense at 3B and being an MVP level hitter at the Rogers Centre.

Please fill me in on the chances Donaldson collapses and the Oakland trio of Lawrie, Graveman and Nolin break out.

Not only a magician on the field, but a magician behind the scenes too.

Can you guys believe he's smiling? Unbelievable. DFA plz.

Also, I would like to see the quotes where anyone said Lawrie, Graveman and Barreto suck.

There is value in 4 WAR coming from one player as opposed to coming from three. Not to mention, that 4 WAR player being arb eligible.

Guys if you weren't reading the old forum 5 years ago please, please just leave!

Understandably so what? Giving extended playing time to another replacement level hitter? The Jays need to do less of that, not more.

Why?

When will the gifting of playing time to Colabello stop?

Base paths my friend, base paths.

My mistake. You never know on this board, there are lots of people who honestly think Hoffman could be in the rotation in September. Regardless, Hutch has proven himself to be at least a league average starter. If two of Gray/Sanchez/Norris/Hoffman/Harris became the same that would be a success.
