    I don't see any major red flags with Cruz other than his age moving forward. Mariners keeping him as a DH primarily should keep him fresh and should help him avoid nagging injuries. Haven't seen any signs of a major decline with him. I'd prefer to keep Cruz obviously for down the stretch in a perfect world. If I could add another SP that is similar in value, I don't mind rotating Adams and Grichuk in one of my OF or DH spots.

    I would rather pay to see a ball game in San Diego than at the Rogers Centre. Padres suck, though that ballpark is amazing. Hopefully they can field together a good team in the next couple of years. San Diego is a great city indeed and one of my favourites in the US. I'd rather visit San Diego again over cities like Miami, LA, and San Fran.

    Petco Park is amazing though, one of my favourites overall. Great food, great craft beer selection and awesome setting to watch a game. Unfortunately the Padres aren't a good team.

    If only I picked up Mike Zunino when he was a FA. I'll listen to offers on Posey. Probably will be tough to move him, though I'm not opposed to it.

    I'd rather bring back Estrada on a cheap one-year deal as the No. 5 starter instead of Hellickson. Cobb would be interesting though could be expensive especially if he pitches well down the stretch and in the postseason. His K/9 is pretty low, and with him being 29 and already having TJS that could drive down his price somewhat, though teams will pay a high price for starting pitching. If Ian Kennedy got 5 years/$70 million from the Royals last year, good chance Cobb gets something similar.

    How about Mark Appel?

    He has been alright this season (1.3 WAR) and has some decent pop for a MI. Obviously he'll never be an elite player though still would be a significant upgrade over what the Blue Jays are rolling out with right now. Considering that Tulo is on the decline and Travis being injury prone, Beckham would have been a nice fit here in Toronto as a third MI who can rotate between those two positions. I'd rather give Beckham 400 AB's instead of spreading them out between Goins and Barney.

    I bought an Otani jersey when I was in Japan this spring. Also, saw a Fighters/Tigers game as well, though he was injured unfortunately.

    Still shopping Nelson Cruz if any team is interested in a big power bat. As well, could part with other bats like CF Dexter Fowler, CF Eddie Rosario, and 1B/OF Matt Adams. If anyone wants to roll the dice on Tyson Ross, could move him for a draft pick.
  10. jaysblue
    Yeah considering the market for pitching this offseason, bringing back Estrada on a cheap one-year deal as the No. 4 or 5 starter wouldn't be the worst idea.
  11. jaysblue
    Accept.
  12. jaysblue
    He's still young though he isn't one of the top shortstops offensively to own in fantasy as you would have thought when you dropped his name. Has a .750 OPS with only 6 HR's and 9 SB's this season thus far. I don't see him posting better numbers than 2015 or 2016 moving forward.
  13. jaysblue
    Tim Beckham would have been a nice addition to this club. I don't think the O's paid a huge price if I'm not mistaken. Would have been a significant upgrade over either Goins or Barney right now and he's the type of guy you can keep around for next season as a third MI to rotate between Tulo & Travis. Has posted a 1.3 WAR so far this season and would be under control until 2021.
  14. jaysblue
    If Yankees have a full rotation that is healthy and 100%, I would have Gray behind Severino, Tanaka, and Pineda. Gray is a solid pitcher, though on a team with World Series aspirations, he's likely a No. 3 at best.
  15. jaysblue
    They didn't even win a World Series with that rotation which is the funny thing. They didn't have Lee, Halladay and Oswalt in 2008.
  16. jaysblue
    If Morales is still with the team in 2018, Pearce likely is the everyday LF I would imagine (unless he's traded). If Morales is moved, Pearce would become the everyday DH.
  17. jaysblue
    LMAO. I waited too long deciding on whether to drop Doug Fister or not.
  18. jaysblue
    He's arb eligible, but yeah I don't see the Jays paying him $6 million through arbitration. Likely will decline arbitration on him and agree to a less $ figure.
  19. jaysblue
    Knowing how Shapiro and Atkins work, they like to have potential roster holes filled in advance in case they strike out in the offseason. For e.g. re-signing Justin Smoak last August. With LF being a major hole on this team and with Bautista leaving, they figured Aoki at least covers a corner OF spot at a decent price in case they can't make a bigger upgrade earlier in the offseason.
  20. jaysblue
    Funny. I recall last year or two years ago people wanted the Jays to sign Nori Aoki as a possible platoon bat in LF.
  21. jaysblue
    I'm buying a Nori Aoki jersey this week!
  22. jaysblue
    YEs!
  23. jaysblue
    OF Nori Aoki
  24. jaysblue
    Joe Smith likely landing spot: back in Cleveland.
  25. jaysblue
    Probably Teoscar Hernandez if the Jays are kicking in money to get a better return.
