    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    I think Gibbers is the best poster. He puts idiots in their place! 900th post YAY!
  8. jaysblue
    They should be. Who allows this stuff to the press?

    Mamma Mia!

    Possibly, I see them as the only other team willing to fork more for him.
  11. jaysblue
    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?
  12. jaysblue
    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
  13. jaysblue
    Nice veteran bat off the bench.
  14. jaysblue
    You think he'll do that again?
  15. jaysblue
    20 million per season for 7 years? Not going to end well.
  16. jaysblue
    I can't think Choo gets more than that offer. What was he thinking?
  17. jaysblue
    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...

    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.
  19. jaysblue
    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.
  20. jaysblue
    The funny thing is John Buck would have been the Jays best catcher last season lol.

    Well AA needs a plan and to be honest it doesn't seem like he has one. He either tries to add to the core he has, or he sells of pieces like Bautista, Rasmus, Reyes, Buerhrle, Dickey etc. If the Jays stand pat, there is no point in keeping the same roster around since they aren't good enough to begin with to contend in this division with the Rays, Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles. There are still some solid FA's out there - and all the would require is cash. Also, there are plenty of 2B upgrades available (Ellis, Roberts etc were on the FA market) and there are some options via trade (Mariners need to move Franklin or Ackely; Daniel Murphy could be available; Brandon Phillips; Danny Espinosa) all whom would be upgrades over Goins/Maicer. Also, AA needs to strengthen this bench - a bench of Maicer, Thole/Kratz, Sierra, Gose would be awful.
  22. jaysblue
    And who says Danny Salarzar doesn't end up in that group as well?
  23. jaysblue
    I hope so too. I don't want to see wasted starts on guys like Esmil Rogers, Tomo Ohka, Josh Banks, JA Happ etc. Lets see what Hutch and Stroman can do if they have great ST's!
  24. jaysblue
    I don't mind rotation spots given to Hutch and Stroman out of ST if that's the worse case scenario. However like you said, other areas especially 2B need improvement.
  25. jaysblue
    Or even Espinosa lol
