  1. We're only one game out we could win this year and there's a lot of good free agent pitchers available next year.
  2. If the Jays are ever going to become a good team they need to develop their own talent, we can't sell the farm every time we get in a race. We're not the Dodgers
  3. Just how good is Vlad Jr? He's only 16, so still 6-7 years away. Was it worth Chase De Jong, Locastro and a one year signing restriction?
  4. Navarro had 19 PA last week - Smoak had 2
  5. To this point Colabello's been the better hitter, why Navarro DHs in favour of Colabello or Smoak at first base I'll never know.
  6. I doubt Sharky gets 18 million 7-8 years he's only one really good season. I'd say they both are around 12-16 million for 3-4 years.
  7. If we acquire Hamels and the asking price is as steep as we assume, then we basically need to win this year because we have no depth in starting pitching to start the 2016 year. Maybe we get lucky and Buehrle agrees to a cheap one deal but you can't count on it.
  8. Of course Hamels is better but he's currently 32nd in WAR for pitchers and that's what I'm valuing him at. Next year there's a lot of decent free agent pitching available - I'd rather get have Sharkey and Kazmir than Hamels. Trading for Hamels is like resorting to hail mary's in the 3rd quarter
  9. It's because your over valuing Hamels, it could be shaping up to be another Dickey trade and in my opinion we have a better opportunity next year.
  10. Castro and Jairo Labourt for Sharkey
  11. See where Hamels ranks among pitchers this year: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2015&month=0&season1=2015&ind=0&page=1_30
  12. That's a great list and you can see Hamels value doesn't match his asking price.
  13. If we make trades this year and they don't work we likely shoot ourselves in the foot for next year. If we do nothing we still have a shot this year and go into next year with a better chance
  14. It's probably because AA tries to low ball guys.
  15. I agree with this and even if we acquire Cueto/Chapman or Hamels/Papelbon we might still come up short, but if we wait a year we'll have Stroman back and a lot of money to work with.
  16. Halladay had a team friendly contract though. I'd offer less
  17. Were fourth in the division mate
  18. Really hope Hoffman has a big game - so AA won't trade him.
  19. If he sits on his hands we start 2016 with a rotation of Stroman, Hutchison, Sanchez, Boyd, Norris with tons of money saved from Buehrle and Dickey. If we make a trade we likely lose 2 of the last 3 and again have very little SP depth
  20. Castro, Pentecost, Labourt, Alford and we'll pay the contracts. Papelbon and Hamels have zero value to the Phillies, both are signed to stupid contracts
