Chris Collabello last year had a good start with the Twins and then regressed big time. Also, remember Juan Francisco for the Jays last season - casuals were thinking he was the next Bautista or EE.
I'm a fan of Collabello and I hope he remains successful this year. Maybe he's the Jays version of Steve Pearce this season, which would be a huge plus. Otherwise, just enjoy what he's doing and don't get your hopes up as him being the next Bautista/EE.
14 straight seasons of 200+ innings is quite remarkable, though doubt MB gets into the HofF as much as I like him. If he pitches until he gets 300 wins, then sure though doubt that happens.
Randal Grichuk currently has a slashline of .292/.320/.604 through 18 games and is CF eligible. Teams looking for CF help, let me know if you're interested.
Carlos Beltran, Brandon Phillips, Mike Napoli are available. As well, some arms like Adam Warren, Chris Tillman, Wily Peralta.
Also, looking to package Avisail Garcia or Starlin Castro for a starting pitcher.
Looking to move Avisail Garcia in a package for a starting pitcher. Additionally, could move some veteran bats like Carlos Beltran or Brandon Phillips for a similar valued veteran starting pitcher or closer.
Also, if anyone wants to take a flier on a True Cardinal in Randal Grichuk, he's a nice young bat who displayed some pop in the minors and might gain CF eligibility.
This team has been awful when it comes to adding decent inexpensive FA players or pitchers for depth/insurance purposes in areas of weakness. Its frustrating.
I know there are only 9 teams in the CFL, though its funny how the Argos have been the most successful team in Toronto over the last decade or so, winning two Grey Cups (2004 and 2012).
Oh great, all of the Leafs fans have now awakened and now think this team will make the playoffs next season. People will start hopping back on the Leafs bandwagon and will continue to pay astronomical prices to go watch a hockey game down at the ACC. I hate Leafs fans.
Why would you bring Sanchez back after 98 pitches in the 8th inning in a close game, especially since he's prone to lose it? Then when Hutch is at 98 pitches, they don't even bring him out to pitch the 7th. Ugh.
Happ was just a 5th starter though...I don't have a problem dealing him especially since he wasn't anything special on an upside bat like Saunders. The Jays needed a LF since Melky left anyways, so it made sense.
Isn't the hybrid roster out? I downloaded a decent roster with the top spects in the game. I made some changes obviously though it was pretty decent. I couldn't wait so late to start my franchise haha.
Yeah at the time of our deal, many people weren't that high on the arms I moved (Odorizzi & Heaney). Seems like now Odorizzi has taken that next step forward, and Heaney has been pitching well down in the minors & is on verge of a callup soon. I obviously still prefer Marte, though the deal wasn't as lopsided as many people made it out to be.
