    Leagues like the NFL makes tweaks to rules and interpretatins every year. Baseball has been much more conservative which is why we're seeing too many changes implemented at once. A lot of this stuff should have been experimented with many moons ago and refined by now. The NFL once had a completely different replay system than the one they have now. That was scrapped and they went without replay for a few years before coming back with the current system that now seems entrenched. Hopefully, the MLB will roll with the punches and continue to make changes to improve the game and refine rules and interpretations as they go along rather than retreat into an entrenched resistance to change. That could be the worst consequence of introducing so many untested changes at once.

    I think I'd rather QO Rasmus then trade him for Ackley. I certainly wouldn't do it unless/until the team is out of the race. At that point, you can afford to cash in Rasmus for an inferior option on which you have more control but again I'd probably just qualify him. Ater the Drew/Morales debacle, there's at least an off chance Rasmus accepts especially if he's weary of possibly landing with another Tony Larusa style hard-ass.

    I thought it weird that he was still a FA long after the post and I kind of wondered what the protocol was in a situation like this. I figured you must have changed your mind but I thought I'd bring it up anyway to bring some closure. I agree with NJH's reasoning. I figure anyone who does this and then doesn't act even when they get their moves back in the next scoring period has clearly forfeited any rights to the player. This is unlikely to happen again in season except possibly around the Super 2 deadline and even that seems unlikely.

    Can someone explain to me what happened here? This was posted two weeks ago but nothing happened. Not only did Dietrich sit as a free agent the rest of that week but the rest of the next one as well. JaysBlue finally picked him up on Saturday but then dropped him again on Sunday and he's on waivers now.

    Nobody wanted Jimenez because he's an ace. People wanted Jimenez because even at his worst he's been a guy who can give you innings. The Jays rotation has looked solid so far but there are still a lot of question marks about how many innings the team can get out of the current 5.

    I really expected Rogers to get DFA'd when Happ was activated given they are both swing men at best and mop up guys at worst. The fact that Rogers just pitched two innings would have made it make even more sense. I guess they will wait until next weekend when Janssen comes back. It seems dumb not to keep your best right-handed bat just to delay the inevitable Rogers DFA but whatever. Now that Kratz is gone, I think I'd rather the team give Diaz SS starts against lefties and slide Reyes to DH than use Sierra as the right-handed DH but that would really cement Sierra's status as dead weight.

    Good call on Eichorn. I remember in the 1992 World Seris being dissapointed when they brought in Timlin and not him to get the final save.

    Covered in Lott's article: http://sports.nationalpost.com/2014/04/12/toronto-blue-jays-set-to-send-jose-reyes-casey-janssen-on-injury-rehab-assignments/

    Awesome.

    Sierra isn't a CF either. Melky is the backup CF.
  11. KingKat
    Yeah that's probably enough of Redmond.
  12. KingKat
    DP!

    Dude gets injured, has to give up an Encarnacion bat even though he's a Jays fan and then gets to watch Edwin make the third out. Awesome.
  14. KingKat
    The usher was just there to take the bat from him. I feel terrible for that fan.
  15. KingKat
    Redmond, outdoors in cold weather, makes a lot of sense.
  16. KingKat
    Reyes is expected to come back next weekend versus Cleveland.
  17. KingKat
    He does look sharp. Looking back it seems like the Jays had a run where they lucked out with good framing catchers before their impact had been quantified.

    Diaz was optioned to the minors to start the season. He's fine. They could send him down although I don't see why they would pick Goins over him at this point.
  19. KingKat
    Anyone remember what Hentgen's best pitch was?
  20. KingKat
    The anti B.J. Ryan was Billy Koch. Guy threw so insanely hard. Harder than anyone in this group. I remember thinking he should be unhittable and yet remarkebly he was very, very hittable. The usual explanation was that his fastball even though it topped 100 was very straight.
  21. KingKat
    Unlike Goins, Diaz probably won't me miscast as a starter. Izturis has re-claimed the 2B role. Diaz will be a backup which is all Goins should have been.
  22. KingKat
    I really like the other side of it. I think that's an outstanding return for Jackson and some picks.
  23. KingKat
    Agreed. Major League is fairly cookie cutter mainstream comedy but the bar is set so low for baseball movies that it's a joy for a baseball fan. The plot is rote but it delivers enough laughs and memorable lines to make it a classic for any baseball fan, especially one that grew up in the eighties.

    You need to watch Sugar. If you still find that one cliché, there's no helping you.

    The only point of creating a list like this to generate debate. If you post it, they will argue. Don't post a list of your top 15 if you don't want to debate it.
