  1. Yup better signing players like Choo and Beltre than trading top prospects like Profar for that offensive production. They are a great organization.
  2. Agreed. If the Jays still had d'Arnaud as well, would you place d''Arnaud as their No. 1 prospect or Synder?
  3. That's what makes this an interesting debate. I think each opinion (Sanchez or Stroman as No. 1) are both valid. I slightly place more value on prospects who are closer to the Majors and who could contribute right away more than a prospect who's 2-3 years away. Sanchez has the higher ceiling no doubt; though since Stroman could step in at anytime this season and contribute I'd vote him since he has a higher floor and still could attain No. 2-3 starter status.
  4. I'd go with Stroman since he could make an impact this season at the MLB level; whereas Sanchez despite the higher ceiling comes with more risk and is still a year or 2 away.
  5. OT question: in a 30-team dynasty league with salary cap, would you trade Jonothan Niese ($7.75 M until 2017) and Alexi Ogando (ARB 2017) for Billy Butler ($10.75 M? for 2014 and 15)? Thanks.
  6. I think everyone on this board expected this team to win between 85-90 games. Its unfortunate how things played out; but if lets says Josh Johnson stayed healthy and pitched like his former self; Reyes didn't miss all that time; Melky played like he did in 2012; Dickey pitched like his second half; Bonafacio was at least half decent; Morrow was healthy and realized his potential - likely looking at a differ scenario. Still I'm not a fan of what this team has done since its backfired huge, though a lot of bad luck happened in 2013.
  7. A lot of stuff needs to break right if this Jays team wants to contend. Basically a healthy Morrow who makes 30 starts would be huge; Lawrie staying healthy and having a breakout year; Rasmus building off his strong 2013; Dickey pitching like he did in the second half; someone like Stroman or Hutch step up during the season; Reyes stays healthy and plays 150 games; Melky plays like he did in 2012, and the list goes on. A lot to ask for, so I'm not getting my hopes up.
  8. Yeah sounds good. Maybe catch a Team Canada hockey game since the Olympics will be on. Gibbers is a huge hockey fan so I'm sure he'll be pumped haha
  9. I'm going to Australia in January haha, though I'm good anytime in February or even now in December since I'm off for the Christmas break.
  10. I have a great place for our next GM winter meetings for beer and food. I won't say on these boards, because I consider it Toronto's best kept secret haha
  11. I think Gibbers is the best poster. He puts idiots in their place! 900th post YAY!
  12. They should be. Who allows this stuff to the press?
  13. Possibly, I see them as the only other team willing to fork more for him.
  14. So I guess Felix Hernandez reminds him of Happ as well, since didn't he only win 12 or 13 games when he won his Cy Young lol?
  15. That means Jeff Locke must be an elite starter if we are using ERA to judge pitchers. Shocked his name wasn't mentioned by that poster lol
  16. Nice veteran bat off the bench.
  17. You think he'll do that again?
  18. 20 million per season for 7 years? Not going to end well.
  19. I can't think Choo gets more than that offer. What was he thinking?
  20. I wanted Ruggiano so badly. Would have been a great 4th outfielder and platoon bat with Lind at DH. Marlins were willing to trade him for anything...
  21. JP locked up Halladay to those team friendly extensions, when at the time I'm sure Halladay as a FA would have cashed in huge.
  22. The 2008 pitching staff was amazing, though the lineup was terrible. For crying out loud, guys like Shannon Stewart, Kevin Mench, Brad Wilkerson got way too many AB's that season.
  23. The funny thing is John Buck would have been the Jays best catcher last season lol.
