Carter was the greatest in the most important clutch situation of the Blue Jays history. Being one of the greatest doesn't necessarily mean in terms of skills. It's also about making an unforgettable moment in the fans mind and he did that. Of course skill wise, not so much.
Of course each team has their own list but was wondering if it came down to the crunch if they would listen to outside influences, like being sold on someone that wasn't that high on their own list.
In your opinion, does a list like this have any type of influence with GM's and their trading mentality towards certain prospects?
Or do they even pay attention to it?
That list consist mostly of our Jays that were part of WS winners. You just don't forget these guys. They brought us the ultimate prize.To me, Carter will always be a hero! Watching it live, I was jumping so high in my living room, spilling my beer mug all over the place.
If we need to trade Donaldson in a few years I'm sure we'll get a better package for him then what Oakland got from us imo. A win win situation all the way, unless something tragic happens.
WTF is the big deal about posting a link? It's like a f***ing sacrilege on this site if a thread doesn't meet the approval of a certain clique of individuals.
It's a public forum consisting of people with different levels of baseball knowledge. Can we not just get along and quit attacking each other.
Sure, beauty and brains matter but if you're not compatible, sooner or later it catches up to you.
If you feel happiness, you feel the love in your heart, then you're probably on the right track.
Don't confuse lust with love. It won't last.
I remember back in 1967..... LOL
GOHABSGO #25 coming up. Did the Leafs missed the playoffs last year? kinda feel sorry for them.... NOT http://www.10-78.com/smf/Smileys/oldsmilies/Laughintears.gif
I'm happy AA covered that area instead of being in limbo and possibly involved in a money contest. I'm happy with Saunders and he makes me proud as a Canadian that he loves the Jays.
And how about Smoak, taking 2M less, that's just awesome. I hope he finally lives up to being a first round pick.
I'm all for signing Toritani if the other choice is not to sign anyone else. Give this foreigner a chance, you never know. And he's not a rookie, he has proven himself in Japan.
In chess you do have to make some moves... eventually.
I had some hope for something out of it. Well in all fairness to AA, he did warn us that he doesn't like WM.
