    If we could get Drew and Santana on 1-2 year deals do so. We need the starting depth this year and we need anything better at 2B.
  2. Sorrow
    You just knew that when he came back last year that ankle was 50% healthy at the absolute best.

    The only issue I take with the Sniderific diet there is that it would not, based on science, cause diabetes. Diabetes would be caused by your high carb, high glycemic index based foods like breads, pasta, etc. Basically just eating sugar.
  4. Sorrow
    Snider is up there for me, Stewart as well. For a while it looked like we'd be seeing Drabek and Stewart in the rotation together.

    I feel like I'm optimistic about the Jays making it to 83 wins this year. They're a good team, they're not a playoff team. Frankly pony up and bring in Jimenez, Drew and Santana (should've been Garza) and then tell us that you're putting forth a team that may contend. Last off-season was a gigantic mess of horrible ideas, the only ways to clean this up in my mind are re-tool (moving guys like Bautista, Happ, etc.) and promoting from within (which we cannot do since we have no depth), fire our front office and re-build or blow the payroll even more and bring in pieces that we should never have had to do to try and salvage this "three year window".

    It would be nice to sign Drew for 2B, both Jimenez and Santana as well as Baker. If you're going to contend, and go all in put some money into it. Hit $180M with front loaded contracts.
  7. Sorrow
    Hey JFaS where did you find out Santos slider is unhittable basically? I was interested in doing some looking into that there area.
  8. Sorrow
    It would be nice to see the Jays bring in someone like Matsuzaka or Hansen on a minor league deal. Hansen at one point was a serviceable starter, who knows if he'll ever figure it out. Dice-K wouldn't be a terrible depth signing. If it means ditching Happ and freeing up 5M I'm on board.

    I really liked the Seitzer interview. He doesn't seem to believe in pulling the ball because it leads to you cheating the zone and striking out because you aren't able to protect the outside. I like how he wants everyone to feel like they're both a lead off hitter and a clean up hitter depending on the count/outs/area of batting order/runners on base. It's a nice breath of fresh air to be quite honest.

    If he comes cheap there is no negative to this. It keeps Stroman, Hutch and Drabek in AAA to start the year, at worst you eat salary and dump him after a month. Dickey, Morrow, Beurhle, Rogers/Maholm/Happ is better than we currently have penciled in. Add someone like Jimenez and you throw Maholm on the back, can't argue too much outside of the cost.
  11. Sorrow
    I can see 15-20 teams bidding 20M. I can only see 5-6 teams willing to pay 6-7 years 100+ million. I see Yankees or a surprise team like Houston (with a massive contract) grabbing him.
  12. Sorrow
    I can understand them doing it to guarantee picks like Springer and Appel. I can see the Astros by 2015 being back around 85-86 win teams again. You have a lot of talent coming up and adding to some interesting pieces already at the MLB level.
  13. Sorrow
    When he started landing more upright (post shoulder issue) he started getting some weird arm drag. I'd say he has some issues, it's also what folks like Law were mentioning during his AFL time.
  14. Sorrow
    Martin, Andrus, Choo, Beltre, Fielder, Rios, Moreland (?), Soto/Arencibia, Profar That is one terrifying line up.
  15. Sorrow
    I'd say Stroman is OneA and Sanchez is OneB. Stroman is pretty much as sure a thing as exists in the minor leagues. #3 starter upside, high leverage reliever floor. Sanchez does have more upside but if you worry about Stroman's mechanics you see even worse with Sanchez. He is so far from a sure thing that it's exciting to watch and terrifying to imagine how poorly things could go.
  16. Sorrow
    I'd sign Ellis and hope for the best, see if you can bring in Brian Roberts on a minor league deal and see if you can catch a fluke of health for the first time in what feels like a decade.
  17. Sorrow
    Jays board circa 2003-2004 was a VERY fun place. It's hard to believe it's been a decade since I started posting there before the move here.
  18. Sorrow
    Woops, meant Christian Colon their MIF prospect.
  19. Sorrow
    With the Royals signing Infante does that make Colon expendable? I'd be interested in Rasmus for Butler and Colon if we were able to get a decent prospect from the Pirates for Lind.
  20. Sorrow
    I feel like infrequent posters are around my level of posting. 150ish in 9 months? Holy s***, 95 in 9 months.
  21. Sorrow
    Obviously we need to increase the attractiveness of the team. After losing Escobar and JPA we're left with... Morrow?
  22. Sorrow
    I could see this being a Rasmus extension.
  23. Sorrow
    It was throwing the hard knuckle ball high that was the issue he said, he stopped doing it in the second half.
  24. Sorrow
    I voted Stroman, he may be near his potential ceiling but he's at least going to hit it. Sanchez, Norris, Smoral, Osuna all have that higher ceiling but outside of Sanchez they're all so far off. Sanchez may never get there if the delivery concerns are legitimate.
  25. Sorrow
    If I can get all those pieces so Owings, Perez, Cahill I send them Norris, Cecil and Stilson plus something like Sierra/Pillar in terms of prospect value if it gets the trade done. Owings is a legit prospect that fills massive positional need for us, Perez is an intigueing option and Cahill would provide back end help and eat a lot of innings.
