Geez why did you get thanks for that comment when mine was better!
-
Yeah I'd rather give Cruz $50 M to DH rather than Melky $50 M to play an awful LF. -
lol, but yeah in terms of what AA and Beeston have said about not going more than 5 years on FA's, then Melky is the type of bat I could see them resigning based on those very reasons. We've seen AA before lock up guys like Bautista, and EE since they had success here and were great fits for the organization. Not saying Melky is on those levels as a player obviously, though I could see the Jays willing to go that extra mile on Melky since they are familiar with him and probably think he's a great fit with their current core. Whether its the best baseball decision or not, I'm sure they'd rather resign Melky over another FA outfielder at just a slightly cheaper rate and who might not be as good. I'm sure resigning Melky would be more of a PR play then anything - to show fans the Jays are willing to keep their good players etc.

I don't think years will be an issue with Melky. Won't demand anything more than 4-5 years so he fits the Blue Jays policy of signing free agents. The Blue Jays made him a decent offer and if Melky said he'd consider a hometown discount to stay in Toronto, then $39 M vs. $45 M shouldn't be a huge deterrent. Not sure he'd get $50 M - risky play there. What the Blue Jays offered was fair - even include some club options + performance bonuses if they have to sway him.

Yeah pretty ironic. I guess since Miguel Cabrera didn't get those RBI's, Trout had the advantage!
-
This should have been his third MVP but oh well. It's about time!
-
I agree with Spanky's analysis for once!

He wasn't the only one. -

Yeah I like the trade as well but reading some posts on here it sounds like AA just traded for an all-star second baseman lol. It's nice how AA brought in someone who could compete at 2B, though lets not get out of hand here. -
Long day downtown, only running on like 4 hours of sleep today. Made the change, thanks!
-
Was his girlfriend heavily under the influence of alcohol as well? If she wasn't, then she should have used her common sense and not get in the car and prevent OT from even driving.
-
Sad if this is true. I can't tolerate people who drink and drive - they risk putting others at danger which really annoys me. Like seriously, if you are a sports star/movie star and plan on getting drunk one afternoon/night, then use your brains and book like a personal driver/limo. Money isn't an object with those guys. Same thing when Jonas got caught last April - just foolish. You live downtown, have all the money in the world - if you plan on partying one night, then just hire a limo.

Great news on hearing Kluber winning the Cy Young. He deserved it! I'm a huge King Felix fan though I'm glad the voters got this one right.
-
I think we all knew V-Mart wasn't coming here lol. I doubt he produces the same type of numbers he did this season moving forward.
-
How was his pitch framing before? I know durability would be an issue with him playing behind the plate. He'd likely have to rotate between 1B/DH and C however. Doubt though he wants to catch again.
-
Will V-Mart play behind the plate lol?
-
What do you think the Mets would have to give up?
-
He should probably sign a one-day contract with the Mariners and then retire. If he wants to play again for one more season, sign with the Mariners and then call it a day.
-
I saw the Sens last Saturday in Boston. Ugly game though. I hate the Leafs as well!

Pablo Sandoval's agent to meet with Blue Jays in Phoenix
jaysblue replied to Spoonovic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Sandoval ends up back with the Giants. Sabean will likely overspend and outbid anyone just to get him back. -
Nice deal by the Yankees signing Chris Young. Can't go wrong with that signing.
-
Imagine Ichiro, and Kawasaki on the same team! The marketing this team could do!!!!
-
That's why I refuse to trade him!
-
Acta is into advanced stats, correct?
