You really dont care who wins? WTF? Why are you even here if you dont care who wins? After saying something like that you dont even sound like a fan. I can understand being against trades/signings etc but to say you dont even care who wins? Thats f***ed.

We would of scored a run. Noone should be happy with that catch.

???? Are you cheering for the Tigers or something?

Hahahahahah

Hahah how much money do you think Johnson has cost himself this season?

Its moreso AA's loyalty to Boni. At the end of the day hes the one whos in charge and can cut or trade a player at any moment.

Sure Boni is to blame but Josh Johnson kinda sucks

So basically Morrow is never going to be consistantly healthy!?

Agreed they've already made their bed and theres no way they wont try a few more big time moves to get this thing righted. It sucks because after this 2-3 year window things are going to look bleak but whats done is done and people should be prepared for more prospects being jettisoned for win now players.

AA has been at the helm what 3 full years now and we still dont have even one cost effective/consistant starter?

Wont be long until Rogers comes back to earth either. This rotation is a mess going forward.

Didnt some Deadpool guy on this forum say he thinks Wang could be a solid #4/#5 HAHAHA

Man Baltimore is going to be a really scary team if they start trading for or signing some decent starters. I'm actually jealous of that roster going forward.

So I just saw that Carlos Perez is at AAA now Whos a better prospect Perez or Jimenez? That Happ trade looks really bad

They traded away 2 very highly rated catching prospects because we had JP and they have invested a contending team on his shoulders. Were paying him half a million because thats really all he can make to this point.

Sure he has injury concerns but as of right now the guy is healthy and mashing and its not like I'm proposing they bring him up and give him the starters role. JPA is currently sporting a .245 OPB or something of that nature. Jimenez doesnt hit for much power and but hes shown a ability to make contact so him posting a similar OBP I think would be realistic. I'm not really sure where the .280 OBP number came from seeing its not even close to what JP is currently posting and his career OBP is a brutal .268. Of course the team is going to say nice things about JPA considering they have basically invested the future position on him. Even if its true that he has gotten better, its like going from downright brutal to now slightly below average. A improvement? Yes but really not something to get very excited about. A catchers job first and foremost is to play D, call a good game, pitch frame etc and just generally be the general of the team and to anyone thats been watching objectively they can see hes just not very good. Does he have good power? Of course but all the other deficiencies basically negate any good that comes from his power. If he was some stud offensively you could prolly look past his shortcomings as a catcher but the guy has shown that his bat is actually pretty bad and hes not exactly a young player anymore so expecting massive improvement is very unlikely.

The only reason d'Arnaud is still in the minors is because he cant stay healthy. Even if his bat is a question mark his D is supposedly already better then JPA's and I bet he could come close to posting close a similar or better OBP then JP. It wouldnt necessarily mean he has to leap JPA. They could go out and get a decent vet and sign him for 2 years and have him catch 75% of the games while Jimenez catchs 25%. I think the smart and prudent thing to do would be to cut bait with JPA and go in a different direction. Funny enough just when I'm posting this Arash Madani is on PTS and says this "Someone close to the orginization told me the Jays would have been alot better this season if they had stuck with John Buck instead of JP". Right there that shows that some people that arent wearing the rose coloured glass's understand just how much JP and his lack of actually being able to catch/hit is hurting this team.

Seemed pretty obvious.

I disagree with the 2-3 years before he can be a contributor thing. The guy is already 23 years old and really should be promoted to AAA within a few weeks. His D is already said to be MLB capable and were currently throwing out 2 guys that are brutal offensively. It's also very debatable to say his value has peaked. Hes just come back from injury and has hit well in a small sample size. You send him to AAA and he continues to hit well and call a good game his value will be alot more 2 months from now. I see no reason why this guy couldnt possibly make the team out of spring training next season.

He was being SARCASTIC!!!!

Tampa is playing Houston

Tampa is playing Houston

Detroit is a really bad road team (17-22) and are 3-7 in there last 10 and playing some real bad baseball while the Jays are red hot at home lately. Sure the pitching matchups favor them but I could see us winning this series.

6 year deal for a role player? Ya dont see that happening.

Meh Bolland is from Mimico. I'm sure if the Leafs want to resign him after next season it shouldnt be a issue.
