Vomit

Would be an interesting OF of Pompey, Pillar and DSJ, though I'm not sure hitting single digit homers from all your OF would be a good thing.

Lol CB Buckner. Just f***ing retire already http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-cb-bucknor-experience/

Realy looks like he has a good idea of what he wants to hit and recognizes breaking balls well. Some of the curves in that clip were pretty good and he didn't even give them a sniff

With the exception of. .. Liriano who's worked out nicely. That trade might keep on giving if Liriano has a good year. Flip him again for even more young guys and it's even more of a steal.

It's true, we don't know if they want to resign him, or whether he would even want to resign when at his age, he's probably looking at 1 free agent contact in his career. Lots of players find that a hard thing not to test out especially when you're a great player. However one can reasonably speculate what the management is leaning towards, given their track record from their previous team. My speculation is that the only way they resign Donaldson is if the Jays are: 1) in very good spot for a playoff position by the all star break. And then , only if #1 is true 2) Donaldson is willing to sign an extension in the 4 year/100 million range before the trade deadline this year. And then only if #2 is true 3) they really feel strongly about another playoff run in 2018 #2 wouldn't even come into consideration if the Jays are way out of a spot because at that point Donaldson will be at his highest value to any team trading for him because they would get at least 2 potential playoff runs with him before free agency. There no logical reason to keep Donaldson for 2018 if you aren't making the playoffs this year and he's your best trade chip to kickstart the inevitable rebuild. Yes, he would still have value before the start of next season, and yes he would still have value at next year's deadline, but it's inarguable that his highest value would be at this years deadline assuming he is healthy.

Not much physical projection left... bust.

Yeah, I always stay away from games with rain forecast for that reason, it adds even more uncertainty to an already uncertain situation.

Is anyone named Fries in the pipeline?

Ditto. Had Hill, Hamilton, Seager and Sano put up less than 5 points total and barely missed the points. Not a lot of days where that quartet would put up s*** numbers like that

Man, anyone looking to market the NHL should just show people this Washington Toronto OT tonight. f***ing crazy action

I think I made it this week also

How's Pillar doing? You don't get to take shots at other posters for small sample size thread bumps when you make judgments on small sample size spring training numbers.

Looks like I didn't miss much

Defense is a thing. Theres always room for the best/2nd best defensive CF in baseball on anyones team. But they still have to be able to hit at least in the 10%-15% below average or better for that defense to really matter.

Until tomorrow

Oh god, now he's cursed

I don't think the Jays need to be bottom feeders for 3-4 years straight though to draft at the top of the pile. Trading guys like Happ, Estrada, Liriano, Donaldson, Bautista, Tulo (assuming those last 2 waive their no trades) plus pen arms (and I include Osuna)... should, in theory net more than just prospects. Maybe 2-3 roster players. Plus a few high prospects and they'd already be a few years ahead of drafting and waiting for 3+ years for them to start trickling in. If done right and the guys they get in trade don't all suck, a few strategic signings and the Jays could starting the upswing by 2019, just in time for Vlad Jr to arrive, rather than maybe 2021 or 2022.

2nd straight 0-fer from Vlad. Bust

That's how it works in the US. When you demand money in child support you get to "expect" a certain lifestyle based on the income of the father.
