Yeah, and Pompey was never handed the starting cf job because he was black. Alford will bust the door down eventually. He's a good looking young player.
Kevin Pillar isn't old and he's controlled at reasonable cost for 3 more years. You're not doing a partial rebuild if you deal Pillar. You're blowing it up if you trade Pillar.
Estrada has a 2.18 ERA in the playoffs for the Jays over the past 2 years. I think you would be surprised what an aggressive team in the playoff hunt might pay for a guy with ice in his veins who's performed well in the playoffs each of the past 2 years.
thought it was a dumb trade too...I loved Lindy...I still like him as a player, but Estrada is gold. I taped the documentary...had to spend some time with the wife being that it's mothers day and all. I'll watch it later.
he had harper who was without a hit until the 9th. 2 out in a 4 to 4 tie and a runner on first and Bryce hit a 2 run bomb. Should have walked him and the streak would be over!
There were times I didn't think Goins was a big leaguer. I don't think he's an every day player, but he's definitely a big leaguer. He's a solid utility infielder.
