    Thanks. Everyone, get after Keith on this! I have already, hope he responds!

    I remember a few months back some Rogers exec engaged some fans on twitter regarding spending. Anyone remember who that was? I'd like for him to get his twitter blown up regarding this, hopefully hear an explaination.

    Tangled says the jays should try to manufacture some runs opposed to relying on long ball. Then goes on to talk about hit and runs and being aggressive haven't worked today. Well done

    Vancouver?

    Any update on Roberto Osuna? When will he be back on a roster?

    “I do think being able to play see some pitches just to get the bat going,” Arencibia said. “It’s tough because it’s one of those things in talking to [hitting instructor Dave] Magadan, he told me I had the highest percentage of hard-hit balls. It’s a matter of, just hoping they fall. That’s all you can do." Lol, even when he is saying it's his fault, he goes and blames bad luck. Balls not dropping in aren't your only problem JP!

    JPA victim of the bobbled transfer rule today. Bases loaded, grounder back to pitcher, throws to JPA for the home out, but he bobbled the transfer (though the ball never hit the ground), and the play was overturned after video review. I hate this rule, but I enjoyed the JPA screw up.

    What is so exceptional about "the way he's developed.." ??? He's a somewhat decent bullpen arm. Sure, he could be a SU man, in a very poor bullpen...

    I'm not understanding the 6/150 concept. That seems very favourable to trout, but not to the Angels... I haven't seen this discussed yet on this thread, but do you people remember that he's entitled to like 600k this season?? The contract then, would essentially be 5/149 for the years 2015-2019. 3 of those years are under arbitration, where he is entitled to 40, 60 and 80% of his worth. A $30 mill aav over a 5 year period, where 3 are arb, seems crazy. I'm not saying he's not worth the money, but low salary in 2014 and arbitration protect the Angels check book to some extent... If Trout DOESN'T sign an extension, this is how I'd anticipate his next 4 year playing out in Anaheim (conservatively): 2014: $1 million 2015: $13M 2016: $21M 2017: $30M =$65 million So you're buying out 2 FA years at $42.5M per. Would the Angels not be better served either seeking a much longer term deal, or just playing out 1 or 2 more season?

    Here is a random team that makes sense TO ME to bid on Tanaka: Houston Astros this may seem odd, but Houston apparently was very involved in the Choo talks, so they are willing to spend some money. They have such a low payroll, all of his posting fee and a big first year contract would be easily manageable. Reasons why -Some excitement for a suffering fan base for 2014 -Below market value cost yearly beginning in 2015 -Potential of a 2015 rotation Rodon/Tanaka/Appel/Feldman/#5 is scary, and hurries up the rebuilding process (at a VERY cheap price for YEARS) Haven't seen this connection before, but as Astros GM/Ownership, I'd be very into this.

    He's pitched IN 5 different seasons for us, but has split time in the minors in those seasons as well. You don't accrue service time down there, even if you opened the season on the big league roster.

    This team is going to try to win the offseason....and further entend their mediocrity. No way Cano is exclusive, they'd pair him with some other big move. They could have 3 pieces costing 65-70 mil/year, with little else. Sure hope they don't trade Walker to the AL East...

    The M's desperation I hope is something AA is willing to exploit. They have a GM who NEEDS to win, and a fan base who NEEDS to gain interest in the team again. I have been hoping for dome type of Bautista for Walker/Franklin package. Put the Bau $$ into a FA OF. Having Price in TO would be sweet, but I'd dread that cost. Plus, he's actually scoring good money the next 2 years through arb, so he isn't ridiculously cost effective either. In 2 years, we'd either pay him 23/year, or let him walk. Say NO AA

    You do realize you're the one suggesting trading a decent bat in this thread right? Nice hypocrisy. Also, JUST in case you're not a troll and just an unintelligent baseball fan, I will attempt to spell this out for you...You're right, Lind likely peaked last year and will regress a bit. But please understand, a regressed Lind is MILES better than JPA. In a sport that's recorded stats since the 1800's, your Blue Jays Catcher last year posted one of the WORST batting seasons in HISTORY. So, you're suggestion is to take a catcher who is the worst HITTER in baseball, and put him at a position where his only contribution to the team would be to HIT. Absurd... Annnnd I just gave up a portion of my day to an obvious troll...

    order playoff tickets now/world series here we come/plan the parade route... There are SO overused and tired, seriously.
  16. Vdubfan
    no different than having it on your batting gloves. It's legal to have it on bat handle, it's not legal to put on your hand as a pitcher.

    Last time he was suspended, he was so depressed after he got back on. Sounded so doom and gloom, as if something terrible had just happened to him.
  18. Vdubfan
    I hate myself for how much time I just wasted on that....
  19. Vdubfan
    Why is Hernandez number 2 in your mind like Max is the run away? Across the board, Felix has been the better pitcher this year. Voters aren't so giddy about 17-1 anymore.

    Given that that is how STL fans are, I'm not sure how a bunch of Canadians came to understand the nuances of Front Office Baseball so well. I love it for this board's sake, I just can't believe how much better baseball discussion is had here vs long-time, traditional American baseball markets.
  21. Vdubfan
    Haha, AGM!
  22. Vdubfan
    Ya, he's only one so far that can be argued for.
  23. Vdubfan
    The cardinals board is delusional, and this is supposed to be a baseball town....this really is a strong forum, more appreciated by me when I see that junk.
  24. Vdubfan
    I'm young, would play for dirt cheap and wouldn't come at the costs of players. Can jays give me $60 mil??
  25. Vdubfan
    George Springer sure putting up some numbers this year, impressive.
