seriously....where has this Brandon morrow been hiding....what a sick inning!

holy velocity bump....96, 97 98

I don't think he has a good approach....his bat control is pretty good and he's made some good mechanical changes this spring....he's struck out 6 times and 4 have been looking....he's thinking way to much out there instead of seeing the ball and hitting the ball...it's like he's made up his mind whether to swing prior to the ball leaving the pitchers hand..

I'm going with Lindy tomorrow

well that was no fun

red sox are getting smoked....I like it!

are you saying reyes had a season ending hammy injury..lol. I'm pretty sure he is scheduled to be back not long after he is eligible to come off the DL. This team needs him.

yeah....eddie is turning it around...when is Reyes back..

finally a lineup I like....lindy in the 2 hole...izzy playing too...

The Yanks have good starting pitching....I'm convinced on Tanaka...great splitter. Kuroda is the other guy..solid. I'm not sold on Pineda and Sabbathia is not what he once was..but obviously a solid starter. We'll see how Pineda does over the next month. They are going to need the pitching..because their bullpen has some questions as does their offense..

I can't say Bautista shouldn't be considered the dark horse candidate...he's taking walks and hitting bombs. He's looking like the Bautista of old. Trout and Cabrera are the smart money, but maybe Bautista can hit 45+ bombs and throw his hat into the ring...

Having the ability to spend money obviously helps a team compete. Spending wisely is far more important. We spent on Johnson and it did not work out. We got hit with a ridiculous amount of injuries and things did not work out. That doesn't mean you don't continue to attempt to compete. If the team finishes within a couple games of the playoffs and Ervin has a good year the Jays upper management will have egg on their face just as much this year for not authorizing more pay as they did last year for taking that substantial leap. Spending an extra 14 mil and finishing with 78 wins is a waste of money. Not spending 14 mil and finishing 2 games out of a playoff spot is a massive miss on potential additional revenues that the playoffs could generate. Baseball has way too many unknowns. You never know year to year if you will be healthy, if you will get above average years from guys, breakout years from players. For a team on the fringe competing in a tough division these decisions are not easy. I like what I'm seeing from Lindy, Melky and the rotation. I believe this team will compete without Ervin.

I'm surprised to see Buehrle on the list. That actually makes me happy to see that. It's nice to see your leaders step up. I'm actually looking forward to Buehrle's start tonight.

You got any predictions about Lester, Buchholz, tanaka, kuroda etc...the jays could use the help..lol

i'll take Edwin for the next game

ok...let's get johnson

we have sacrificed a live chicken for the baseball gods...nothing but routine pop ups to centre today.

I don't get those projections for Rasmus...plus arm....he's been tracking balls down all year...he's a good defender.

good call..lol....zaunie thinks Colby and lindy should be in the lineup...I can't say I disagree with zaunie either.

Lind talked about watching film of Robinson cano in the offseason. He talked about sitting back more against lefties. He's made adjustments and did well against lefties in the spring. Lind used to rely on his physical talents. He's now putting the work in mentally and physically to become a better hitter. He's just matured as a player.

Sounds like buehrle and he just had a shutout! I'm not takin cc lightly

lind is evolving as a hitter.....he should be in the lineup against CC.....he got a walk yesterday against a lefty laying off some tough pitches that used to get him. He's faced 2 lefties this year..a hit and a walk...

Edwin tomorrow...he's due

You should go to the Royals message board and see if they are mad that they gave him away for nothing.

Well at least the Jays traded him. The Royals gave him away for free.
