  1. I don't think people are advocating trading him because he's a bad player... just that it's something to talk about given the emergence of Biyombo in these playoffs, the fact that there's no chance they could keep them both, and whether the downgrade on offense from one to the other is worth the defensive upgrade, the potential money savings, and the possible return of a very valuable asset that could make the team better. I don't know what I would do, to me it looked like JV was emerging defensively prior to the injury (not on Biz level mind you) and he already has the offensive game and ability to shoot free throws. Problem is, Biz is a free agent after he declines his player option, so you could possibly lose him for nothing. Raps dont have his bird rights so they have no advantage over any other team in signing him. It's worth having the conversation if the Raps are better with Biyombo starting with Nog backing up plus the potential trade return for JV, or JV and Nog with Biyombo just gone.
  2. Interesting. Not sure why you'd bother trading him at what's likely the lowest value he'd ever have.
  3. I really don't like the non existent movement without the ball by the Raps right now. Lowry drives, gets double teamed and there's nobody moving to pass to
  4. I enjoyed the ambience and the incredible experience outside Fenway, but theres a lot of atrocious sight lines all over that park. Great history but it's time as a relevant park has come and gone.
  5. Ive been to AT&T. I can't imagine a better place to watch a game. That being said, I've never been to PNC...or Safeco which I hear is amazing. I'll be crossing off Wrigley and US Cellular field in July. I would be crossing off Safeco in 2 weeks but unfortunately they're on a road trip when I'm there
  6. I know what you mean. There no way this series goes to 6 games.
  7. Man, if Biz ever develops an offensive game....
  8. No way the NBA/refs let that happen.
  9. Wow, lowry body checked during a shot, no call.... then they do call the next one but a non shooting foul when he was clearly shooting. .. 5 vs 8
  10. Oh look, smith wide open again....
  11. Guy is draining 3s like crazy and he's wide open every time. Demar can f*** off anytime
  12. Who the f*** is guarding smith? Oh wait... Demar is. of course.
  13. Lol, how dare anyone try to block Lebron.... gonna be a foul everytime.
  14. I don't think the downgrade on defense from Goins to Travis is even remotely close to the massive upgrade on offense. Travis was a positive defender in his time last year before the injury and there's no reason to expect him to be suddenly below average. He's not elite by any stretch, but he's not a brick-handed moron either. Travis had made 6 times the contributions to the Jays in 238 PAS than Goins has made in 861. It's not close.
  15. Forgot to put in the "about to be" part. Even so, the 3rd time through the order Happ is very hittable. .. opposing OPS near .800. It's the perfect time to have taken him out and let the pen work 6 outs with a 2 run lead.
  16. It is justifiable in the old way of thinking when youre talking about pitch counts... and stuff like the manager wanting his starter to "get the win" ... but when you look at pitchers tendencies to get hit harder the more they see hitters in a game(Happ is not immune to this), and it becomes even more defensible to get him the f*** out of there before the s*** hits the fan. He was going through the order the 4th time, regardless of the pitch count he should have been taken out, thanked for his great day and let the pen work the last 6 outs.
  17. That great, but it was also the 4th time through the lineup. Theres mountains of data that shows hitters have the upper hand the more they see a pitcher. It's not always about pitch counts.
  18. Hate to keep harping on this with Gibbons, but that's another late hook, waiting until the damage hapens to make a move.
  19. The short season leagues don't start until after the amateur draft in June. June 17th is their first game this year. To your second question.... no not really. They'll get a few guys from Bluefield and maybe the GCL from last year, a couple of international FAs, and a few holdover from last year but the majority will be newer college age draftees from this year's draft
  20. Game 45 Pillar (7pts) - Donaldson (2pts) - Deadpool Bautista (2pts) - Jonn Edwin (2pts) - Tulo (3pts) - vdub Smoak (5pts) - Johnhavok Saunders (4pts) - Martin (7pts) - Thole (10pts) - Goins (10pts) - Carrera (10pts) - Barney(10pts) - Burns (10pts) - Paredes (7pts) - o2
  21. It was the headline's fault, I just copied it. I nearly choked when I read it
  22. Harris suspended for PEDs. http://m.milb.com/news/article/20160520179234674/blue_jays_harris_among_four_suspended Don't worry, it's not the good Harris
