  1. Pictures of your sister or it didn't happen. lol, sorry...i had to. That's pretty cool though.
  2. I think it has more to do with quality over quantity. As you pointed out we have extremely good depth. That's something that crushed us last year. Now we just need to get someone that is likely going to be above average. 2/3 type. My preference would be Garza at this point. Not sure how realistic that is though. We might have to settle on Jiminez.
  3. 4 years and 60 million is probably realistic with how so many teams value their draft picks. He's probably the most realistic target. AA probably could get all the Dominican guys to convince him to head north of the boarder.
  4. I'm not a huge fan of any of the remaining free agent with the price tags their rumored to be looking for. I think i prefer to keep both Sanchez and Stroman at this point. Since Jiminez is attached to draft pick compensation i think he's the most likley to sign for a reasonable contract. I would probably still sign Garza at this point and then find a way to trade for Ackley or Franklin. Might have a shot at playoffs with those 2 additions if we somehow stay healthy.
  5. I really really doubt Jiminez and Santana sign for 4 years and 50 mil. It's also extremely unlikely to think they both will receive QO offers at the end of their next deals.
  6. lol @ 20 per year + giving up a draft pick. No wonder he's still unsigned.
  7. Well Earned. Congrats, Chris.
  8. lol you refer to Asia like it's a Country. No Chinese, Korean, ect are going to give a s*** about a Japanese baseball player.
  9. I was going through some old magazines when i found sportsnet mlb preview that has Melky, Reyes, Joey B, Lawrie and JP on it. I don't know how to post images but if someone could post it. Melky looks 30 lbs lighter then what he was playing at during the season. It's f***ing weird. http://www.sportsnet.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/JAYS_PREVIEW_SN.jpg https://www.google.ca/search?q=sportsnet+blue+jays+preseason+magazine+cover&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=hofBUqT_M7GayQH_gYH4Cw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=645#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=xdk64jm3TS-KoM%3A%3BcvAtDCn7XdEq1M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252F3.bp.blogspot.com%252F-q3DrrxbchR0%252FUWIBmVvOUJI%252FAAAAAAAApW0%252FMm4ByEyzcp0%252Fs1600%252FRSCN0121.JPG%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.bergerbytes.ca%252Freimers-best-hour%252F%3B768%3B1024
  10. Fire Beeston. Let AA operate without the Boras and "selling entertainment" restrictions. No Beeston and the Marlins trade (and then ultimately Dickey trade) Never happens.
  11. I didn't know about the injuries. It's a moot point....the Nationals aren't trading him unless they clearly "win" the trade. No team is going to do that after last year.
  12. I don't understand the love for Espinosa on this board. The only appeal he has is as a very buy low option. Problem is if that were the case he would have already been traded. Washington won't just simply let him go for nothing. This is a guy who's projected at 0.2 war by steamers. He was wRC+ 23 in a small sample at the major league level and then was JP Arencibia bad at AAA with the bat. Why give up anything of value to land him? If the Nats want to give him away for nothing of value? Sure...why not? Shouldn't give up anything of value for him though.
  13. Really? You would have paid loney more then the Rays did?
  14. I'd do the same. We have a limited window to compete. Trading Lind doesn't make sense unless we clearly win the trade. Aka Walker.
  15. The one thing that could make this board a lot better is if we somehow could attract knowledgeable posters of fans of opposing teams. Unfortunately, they will probably find the old board and think that not only is Toronto's Mayor is on crack but it's baseball fans are as well.
  16. Since there is no prize i think the winner should be able to ban a member of their choosing for a week.
  17. So. Um. Yeah...Off topic much? How about that guy Tanaka? Heard he's alright.
  18. I had like 47 thanks until that thread got deleted. So it did....but whatever. lol
  19. I thought it was legit for a few days. lol. Btw, What happened to the other thread? I lost a lot of "thank you's" Trying to keep that posting quality rating up.
  20. After reading Shi's book about 2013 i like AA alot more. The Marlins trade was s***. Clearly AA didn't have a boner for it since he called it off since the Marlins wanted Jeff Mathis (lol) but Beeston forced the issue since their "selling entertainment". Once you make that trade you need to go for it. Yeah, he grossly overpaid for Dickey.....not alot of other options and we clearly still needed pitching. (especially in hindsight) He tried for Sanchez and the book seems to show he try's to use the FA market more then we give him credit for. We all thought Baltimore had a lucky season. The Yankees were s***. Tampa didn't have the offense...and the Red Sox just finished last place. Beeston Gambled and he busted. AA is a decent GM. Maybe not top 5....but I'll take him.
  21. Can we please trade Happ for salary relief and use the $$ for a FA Pitcher. Trade Casey for a prospect or two also...that's like what? 9 million in savings right there.
  22. Whoah. I didn't realize Brandon Belt put up a wRC+ 139 last year and a 365 wOBA. s***, that is a good lineup.
  23. The fact that we're top 10 by bat and top 5 by bullpen shows that we desperately need to upgrade our SP. Sign Garza dammit and keep Sanchez and Stroman.
  24. What do they have the Jays? (By Bat)
