    Doubt the Dodgers move any of those pieces for Navarro. I'm sure they'd swap Crawford for Reyes however straight up.

    I'd rather get Turner and Van Slyke over Gordon - you're getting tremendous value. They likely view Gordon as a young, cheap, controllable middle infielder with blazing speed, which in their eyes is probably more valuable than a guy who had a career year like Turner and a OF bat who crushes LHP.

    Don't think so either, though he should still be a nice piece and would be a huge upgrade in comparison to what the Jays were rolling out there at second base this season, and doesn't cost much in terms of salary. I'm fine with Guerrero or Turner to be honest; Guerrero has more upside and is younger - whats his defense like though? Turner is probably a safer bet. I think Van Slyke is a must as well - perfect platoon partner with Lind and can play all three outfield positions and first base which is valuable. I don't mind Crawford - I think he'd be a solid replacement for Melky in left and if I recall Crawford always loved hitting at the Rogers Centre. The Jays would have to go out and sign Drew or Cabrera to play SS (Drew preferably). They solve their questions in LF, 2B, DH all with this deal, and replace Reyes at a reasonable cost.

    If I'm the Dodgers, I'd probably ask for one of the Jays young starters if I moved Gordon. I don't think it makes sense for them to move him in a deal for Reyes - its more of a lateral move and the Dodgers get older and more expensive with Reyes.

    If the Jays could get Turner and Van Slyke in a deal along with Crawford for Reyes and another piece, that would be sweet. Then go out and sign Stephen Drew or Asdrubal Cabrera to play shortstop. LF Carl Crawford RF Jose Bautista 1B Edwin Encarnacion DH Lind/Van Slyke 3B Brett Lawrie SS Stephen Drew 2B Justin Turner C Dioner Navarro CF Anthony Gose BN Danny Valencia BN Josh Thole BN Maicer Izturis BN Scott Van Slyke That's pretty solid. Obviously I'd try and add a better bench piece or two, and I'd try to upgrade on Navarro/Thole (though not sure it happens). Overall, LF is solved, the Jays add a platoon bat with Lind with huge pop and who could play all three outfield positions, they make a significant upgrade at 2B and replace Reyes and don't lose much value with Drew at SS.

    f***, Crawford posted a 7.4 WAR in 2010!

    Thing is Crawford is making $20 M and Reyes $17 M until the end of 2017. Reyes > Crawford. I'd still rather have Reyes over Crawford right now considering salary, age and position played. It really depends on the other part of the deal and what the Jays would get back. I don't see the Dodgers trading Dee Gordon in a deal for Reyes. Crawford is still valuable - posted a 2.5 WAR this season in limited playing time and last season posted a 2.9 WAR. He's easily a 3 WAR player, similar to what Reyes could produce.

    They wouldn't trade Dee Gordon in this deal after the season he had. I could definitely see a Crawford/Reyes swap intrigue them, and possibly the Jays get someone like Van Slyke or Turner as well for another piece, making it a 2 for 2.

    Bumgarner starting Game 3 - Nats are in trouble.
  11. jaysblue
    Many extra innings games for sure. Still every October has been great - no complaints
  12. jaysblue
    Jeff Goldbum in Jurassic Park was the best haha
  13. jaysblue
    I know there's a card show in November at the International Centre and if they had cards of Harper, Strasburg in Expos uniforms I'd definitely pick up some haha.
  14. jaysblue
    Is this a real card actually?
  15. jaysblue
    Agreed. Bumgarner doesn't get any love compared to other elite pitchers in the league.
  16. jaysblue
    If the Giants win today, series is over with Bumgarner pitching Game 3. Madison Bumgarner is f***ing amazing!
  17. jaysblue
    I prefer the Giants as well, have always been a fan. Though I wanted to watch a postseason game somewhere this October and it looks like teams like Detroit and Washington are on the outs.
  18. jaysblue
    So far most of the cities we were looking at might not be in it for the CS or WS.
  19. jaysblue
    You just wanna punch Steve Simmons in the face!
  20. jaysblue
    Having two Bautista's (one playing RF and one playing 3B) is definitely unbelievable
  21. jaysblue
    An outfield of Bautista, McCutchen and Marte! Edit: Also forgot Polanco lol. So I'm assuming Bautista would move to third or first. http://reactiongif.org/wp-content/uploads/GIF/2014/08/Fap-GIFS.gif

    It's always good to have a person to bounce ideas off of. I always bounce ideas off a couple of people sometimes, even on the board here for other leagues. Getting other opinions and input I think is very valuable.
  23. jaysblue
    My bad thought it was a fan asking Elliot a question. That's hilarious that it was AA.
  24. jaysblue
    Is that what Elliot said? lol
