    Instilling some confidence in the pitching staff is way more important than any offensive difference between goins and izzy......goins plays against righties and izzy plays against lefties...
  2. saskjayfan
    I'll bet my left nut if goins has more than 300 plate appearances next year that his k to bb rate is less than 13 to 1.....i'll go 1000 bucks on 10 to 1 with more than 300 plate appearances... what do you say?
  3. saskjayfan
    what are you talking about...k rate...bb rate....he has 114 major league plate appearances....that's not a statistically significant sample size so how are you coming to offensive conclusions? He didn't have a 13 to 1 strikeout k to bb rate in the minors....it was just over 2 to 1.... His defense won't save runs on the bench...put him on the field....see if his offense develops...save the money and put it into pitching..

    A 37 year old ellis moving to carpet..his defensive statistics would have plummeted. Goins isn't just good defensively..he's elite. All of you seem to know exactly what Goins will bring offensively based on his minor league stats or his incredibly big sample size as a major leaguer? If Goins could post a .640 OPS to .670 OPS with his level of defense he would be a good player for the jays who desperately need defense. They have plenty of offense.....I'd rather let goins develop than watch a good time oldy explain what a surprisingly difficult time it was to adjust to the turf..

    I'm glad the fat greek slept in...didn't want ellis anyways...

    The weighted ball program is great for the shoulder...but does nothing for the back....Doc's problem's were not his shoulder as much as they were his back....and back issues are not easy ones to deal with...he's retired...hopefully he can move on to a new fulfilling chapter in helping the blue jays pitchers become better pitchers....

    I wonder what it would be like to face a guy who could throw a knuckleball, but also throw a 95 mile an hour fastball.....is he coming with the heat or the flutter ball....if you can throw it 95 you don't learn to throw a knuckleball.....would be interesting to see though..

    drabek walked 6 batters in 43 innings last year in the minors....I'd like to see him get an opportunity next year...but it seems everyone has already given up on the guy..
  9. saskjayfan
    makes you wonder why they extended utley
  10. saskjayfan
    Doc as a player kept to himself and focused on his game, which was absolutely understandable....but the thought of him going to spring training or working with the likes of drabek, hutch, stroman, sanchez, romero...now as a retired player imparting some knowledge...you don't want him to undermine the pitching coaches on the jays....but surely he could supplement some of his knowledge and experience to what the staff is already doing with the players....it seems like a rather exciting proposition having doc back with the jays...
  11. saskjayfan
    His career OPS away from home is higher than it is at home......last year his ops at home was .909 away was .889....I think he's going to be fine...
  12. saskjayfan
    infante will now get more dollars....probably the most excited person to hear about the cano signing...
  13. saskjayfan
    I think 5 years 13 mil per season extension is attainable for Rasmus......risk on both sides....I'd do it now if I were the jays....
  14. saskjayfan
    the mariners beyond Felix and now Cano don't have a lot of dollars committed...they have cash to spend..a lot of young cheap players there...
  15. saskjayfan
    my initial inclination was no....I would prefer colon just due to dollars and commitment....I like Garza...just not sure about the years and dollars he commands....I'm starting to move towards the Garza camp...everyone else is splashing cash..
  16. saskjayfan
    Jays should have signed colon to a 2 year 12 mil contract a while ago..
  17. saskjayfan
    that's sweet.....but the Yankees have money to spend now..
  18. saskjayfan
    all we can hope is father time slows him up a bit now...but I suspect Kuroda will be good again next year...hopefully not quite as good as the last 2 years....
  19. saskjayfan
    Adam Lind fundamentally changed his approach when he went down to the minors..he's always had a great swing with easy power....He posted an .812 OPS in the back half of 2012 after returning from the minors and a .854 OPS last year in a year where across the league the offensive numbers were down. He's not the same guy he was in 2010 and 2011...Most want to get rid of him, and anyone can be traded, but he has value so I don't see us getting a great prospect and if you trade for a starter you create a hole and fill another. Keep the asset, go sign a starting pitcher...When Lindy hit's 28 bombs next year and has a solid .350 OBP you'll be glad we kept him..
  20. saskjayfan
    colon doesn't strike out a lot, but doesn't walk anyone either...might be a nice change to have a pitcher who doesn't walk a lot of batters...2 years 10 to 12 mil...go get him.
  21. saskjayfan
    well I wasn't sure...and to be honest AJ will likely post an .800 OPS because everything seems to always work out for the yanks and sox..
  22. saskjayfan
    I find it funny how people have no concerns about a 37 year old Peirzynski playing catcher and having regression.....but Dickey at 39 throwing a knuckleball is a massive worry due to his advanced age lol....seriously...you could throw a knuckleball until your 60..
  23. saskjayfan
    I'm sure there are a few GMs scratching their head right now....but I have a feeling there was zero chance Fister was going to be traded to a contending team in the AL....
  24. saskjayfan
    The Rays are no doubt one of the best run organizations in baseball...along with the athletics....but an often overlooked element in professional sports is just dumb luck....each team has probably had a bit of luck along the way...but still have ran very quality franchises.
  25. saskjayfan
    you two should get a room...
