    Anyone looking for some OF depth - Alfonso Soriano, Seth Smith are available. Would be looking at draft picks for next season or a similar veteran pitcher of value. Also, Tommy Hanson can be had for a 2014 pick as well.

    I think its a good deal for both sides. I dangled around Santana's name for a while and I wasn't that intrigued by the offers I was getting to be honest. Baffled my mind. Catchers are tough to find. I do have V-Mart right now who's starting to turn it around and hopefully d'Arnaud turns out to be solid. As for Santana, he's a solid offensive catcher, though I'm not sure he ever becomes a .900 + OPS bat like a Buster Posey. Still Kev gets a huge upgrade at catcher and definitely this gives him a nice push towards the playoffs. I needed a young outfielder and I'm hoping Myers is a guy that I can build my franchise around. I was looking for a top 5 prospect who was ready to step in and Myers fits the bill.

    Don't forget Jason Marquis as well. He's a big part of this deal. Ugly K/BB ratios and WHIP, though those 9 wins and that ERA!

    I'll go with Rasmus today

    Ah Scott Feldman pitching in the AL East, not to sure I think he's a significant add to the Orioles rotation. I could see him being a decent No. 4 or 5 starter who eats innings, though that's about it.
  6. jaysblue
    I'll go with DeRosa if he's in the starting lineup today. If not, then I'll go with Bautista.

    Not really when you consider his defence behind the plate and the fact that he does have some decent pop for a catcher. He still put up a 2.0 WAR last season despite not having the greatest season offensively. Already this season he's at 2.4 WAR. He's 4th in catchers WAR.

    Nice depth move. He had solid years with Cincy back in 2010 and 2011 as a part timer/platoon role. Better than having a Blanco or Nickeas down in Buffalo.

    I'll go with Lind
  10. jaysblue
    I'll go with Edwin.

    I remember last year or two years ago there were some posters on here that said they wouldn't even trade Lawrie straight up for Stanton. Crazy! Sometimes I find a lot of young players on the Jays are overhyped on these boards. I was a fan of Lawrie and I still think he has enough talent to become a solid player. Though even two years ago, I wouldn't even have to think about trading Lawrie straight up for Stanton.

    They really have to do something about the bullpen. I hate seeing McGowan and Perez just wasted down there - they are useless.
  13. jaysblue
    I'll go with Edwin!
  14. jaysblue
    Last season his .OBP was .317, so hopefully he can get it into the .330ish range which is possible and tolerable with the power output he provides.
  15. jaysblue
    .513 SLG and 19 HR's! I'll take the 30 + HR's this season. Mark Trumbo last time I checked was never a .OBP machine. Also, Alvarez is capable of a Chris Davis breakout possibly in the next year or two. Not saying its a guarantee to happen, though its not out of the question. Both have tremendous raw power and high K rates/low BB rates.
  16. jaysblue
    Alvarez could be made available. Send me an offer.
  17. jaysblue
    Yeah the Canada Day game is sold out. Only singles available on the Jays site. Can get good seats for Tuesday or Wednesday night though haha. I expect weekend games, especially Saturday and Sunday games when the weather is nice, to be close to sell outs or 45,000 per game. I know 500 level seats yesterday were going for $40 each. Weeknights will always be easier to get seats - though if this team keeps this up, I wouldn't be shocked to see 30,000-35,000 + during the week come July/August.

    I'll go with Joey Bats.

    That's a lot of money for any pitcher, especially one entering his mid 30's. The only way the Jays get Lee is that they move Buehrle and they don't give up much in terms of prospects. I'm sure the Phillies are looking for a package of top prospects if they decide to move Lee. I just don't see it happening, and I wouldn't want the Jays devoting $25 million of their payroll towards a pitcher in his mid 30s.
  20. jaysblue
    I think many posters including myself have been saying Chase Utley. According to some sources, the Phillies will shop Utley and Young hard at the deadline.
  21. jaysblue
    I agree, its pointless to move a younger third baseman like Lawrie + or let alone straight up for Headley. Like I said, I doubt a trade for Headley happens since the price tag is likely ridiculous. And its not like Headley is hitting that well this season anyways.
  22. jaysblue
    I think Ackely would be tougher to trade for instead of Beckham agreed. Mariners likely would ask for more. You likely could only flip Drabek + another piece for a struggling young player who has underachieved and has ran out of favour with their organization.
  23. jaysblue
    If the asking price for Headley is crazy, Lawrie + is likely a guy they'd want back since they would need a 3B back (though they do have Gyroko). Likely not worth it from the Jays perspective and I don't think they would do it.
  24. jaysblue
    Right now, I doubt they are sellers since things in the NL West are close. Though if they fall out of it near the end of July, they likely will. I doubt they move Headley unless they are blown away by an offer. Perhaps they move some outfield pieces/utility players or BP arms or a vet starter like Marquis.
  25. jaysblue
    I haven't watched much of Forsythe. How is his defence?
