The Jays seriously are just better signing Garza or Tanaka rather than trade EE for David Price. Sure the Jays would add an ace, though then they lose a huge bat in EE. Price is likely going to get a lot through ARB so why not just sign a pitcher like Garza for similar AAV or slightly more and the Jays get to keep EE. That's more rational than trading EE for Price.
I could likely see AA in on Colon if he is only demanding a 1-2 year deal since AA publicly stated that the Jays won't be in on any of the big FA starters like Garza, Ubaldo, Santana (well he's hinted at that).
I wouldn't mind LoMO as a 1B or DH if the Jays planned on trading Adam Lind. LoMo could get on-base at a decent clip and does have some untapped potential. I think he could hit 20-25 HR's playing half his games at the Rogers Centre. He'd be a good buy low candidate.
Roy Halladay is a class act and I feel privileged that I was able to watch him all those times in a Blue Jays uniform this past decade. He was in my opinion the best pitcher in baseball this past decade - no argument.
2005 was the best I think I've saw Doc. Its unfortunate that he got injured that season, though he was unstoppable when on the mound. Definitely would have won a Cy Young award that season.
They are amazing. Usually guys with 35-40 HR power strikeout a ton, though EE's K% is just absurd for the type of hitter he is. EE for MVP next year - book it!
Yeah he had a really good year as a PG last season. Just looked up his stats. Peterson doesn't look that bad as well - averaged 12 PPG not a while ago and was a former 1st round pick - maybe a change of scenery helps him out.
I've always liked his bat, and he'd be a great power bat off the bench. Though he is awful defensively. I'd prefer the Jays to go after Ruggiano who could split DH duties with Lind and at least could play all 3 outfield positions.
Papelbon is making a lot of money which is a deterrent though he's still a very good closer and has one of the best track records over this past decade. I'm sure a team like the Angels, or even the Yankees would trade for him based on those very own reasons.
Don't know the financial details, though on a one-year contract and pitching in that big ballpark, its a good signing for the Mariners if he stays healthy.
