  1. I also think that AA said that JP was his guy as a way to keep his trade value up during the off season. If I remember correctly, it originally was JP that was going to the Mets, not d'Arnaud. It wouldn't surprise me if AA has tried to trade JP throughout the year, it just so happens that he has seemingly gotten worse throughout the year.
  2. Exactly. If you're on a boat and your boat suddenly springs a few leaks, you try to fix the leak that's causing the most flooding first because it's causing the most damage. After you fix that it's easier to deal with the remaining leaks.
  3. I'm sure he has read up on it on some medical research sites, but don't expect any links for them.
  4. True, but I kinda viewed that post as the Phillies won't overpay to keep him so they will allow him to see what his market value is.
  5. For what it's worth, Ruiz is incredibly popular here in Philly. It would be hard for the Phillies to let him go just on the PR aspect.
  6. There might be a chance he asked to be dfa if he thought a team would pick him up for a month in the majors instead of going home
  7. He'll need more twitter followers for that to happen
  8. I wouldn't mind Doc as a back of the rotation guy either. He couldn't be worse than some of the guys we've been trotting out there and maybe his presence would add a little bit of accountability to the team
  9. We should have a little game to see if Pillar can get more hits in a month and a half than JPA has walked all year.
  10. "I'm so sorry for the mistakes I've made in the past. Blah years ago I took injections of blah blah in order to boost my performance to get a massive contract that would set my family and I for life. It was selfish, and I want to apologize to the my teammates, the blah organization, Major League Baseball, but most importantly the fans. I'm going to use this opportunity to teach up-and-coming ballplayers that they should play the game the right, clean way."
  11. I don't blame him for being upset, I would be too.
  12. I wonder why he did that. At least then the Blue Jays would pay for his medical care.
  13. I think everyone wants a bunch of guys in their early to mid 20s making absolutely nothing (comparably) who put up all star numbers so we can build a dynasty for years to come. However that's pretty much impossible to do. I really do believe that the key to success is what AA was trying to do: build a farm system, use great farm system to supply players to the Blue Jays from call ups or trades, repeat. I think we just got unlucky with the Dickey trade.
  14. Melky doesn't need his respect. He's a better player.
  15. Yes. Lie. Lie big. JPA has been one of the best catchers in the league for the few years he's been in the bigs. Lind has been one of the top 1st basemen in the American League since 2006. I understand that nobody likes to be criticized but if they didn't want to be in the spot light they should just retire from playing and start coaching or something. Or analyzing I'd be interested on what they would say about a catcher who can't hit or provide decent defense or a first baseman who has underperformed much of his career. I'm going to guess that they'd say the same thing has Zaun and Hayhurst.
  16. I wish I was living in his world. Make believe land is so much more fun than reality.
  17. Haha I know. It just seems like it's all over the place today.
  18. Does anyone know where this strikezone begins and ends?
  19. Why should he? In his mind he's the perfect catcher.
  20. I could care less if he can hit the ball far. As long as he controls the strike zone, can hit for decent contact, and plays better than average defense I'd be all for giving him the job. We have a catcher right now that all he has is home run power, and pretty much everyone wants to get rid of him.
  21. I'd guess it's because Bautista came out of nowhere, where as Davis was a fairly highly touted prospect (just like someone above said). So when Bautista figured it out it seemed more likely that he had to have had help because he came out of nowhere.
