We will start seeing promotions now that short season ball has started.

Wang goes 7, PPD game, Rogers goes 7, Buehrle goes 7. They should be good to go.

Can't wait for Dickey to throw a shutout and that bandwagon fool to slobber all over his Dickey again.

Risk our season? I don't play for the Jays and I don't think anything is being risked at this point.

Hopefully he still has 20 more starts left, lots of time to turn the ship around.

Very harsh. He's pitching through injuries and has gotten lit up a couple times. He hasn't had very many good starts but, for the most part he's kept the team in the game and given them innings that they desperately need.

Luck, pain tolerance, genetics, conditioning, nutrition, fitness, fatigue etc.

Ya nvm, they both hit righties well. Ethier isn't going to happen and it doesn't make any sense.

Phillies wouldn't trade a seasoned vet like Buehrle. The Amaro Jr way is more like Gose for Eithier. No way this is happening though. The Jays staff is in splints and shambles.

Buehrle's or Ethiers? haha I do have to say that Ethier would be the perfect platoon-mate for Lind and that Buehrle is really old and sorta bad. The Jays really need Buehre's innings right now though so no chance this happens.

The easy answer is of course they do. Injuries are inevitable. Over the course of a career they will pile up.

Is Lawrie really missing significant development time? I know exactly what you mean, young players need to play, and play lots, in order to improve while they still can. However, in the case of an uber talented 23yo, whose biggest flaws are on the mental side of the game, is playing time as important as the mental lumps Lawrie has taken over the last couple seasons? You don't have to be a scout to see Lawrie is an excellent defender and already posses the elite raw bat speed and power needed to be a successful hitter in the MLB. His approach is way off and he has too much movement in his swing but that can/should be improved over time as no one has ever doubted Lawrie's work ethic. He needs to learn how to take care of his body, to stay consistent, to stay unemotional on the field and to be professional. Those issues (among others, like throwing equipment at umps) point an immature ball player and to a mental side of the game that requires a lot of growth in order for Lawrie to reach his full potential. IMO the struggles over the last year and a half will strengthen Lawrie and make him a better going forward. Obviously, Lawrie needs to make some adjustments when he gets back. The results haven't been there and pro-ball is all about results and making the right adjustments. We have all witnessed that Lawrie has the raw ability and athleticism to be a force on both sides of the ball. However, the question still remains; does Lawrie have the mental fortitude to make adjustments, stay healthy, get through slumps and maximize his results?

I think the key point here is Lawrie is 23 and is still expected to improve for 3-5 more seasons before he hits his prime.

Shawn Green...

Ya, he's having his worst year (in terms of OBP). I don't think anyone reasonably expects Weiters to put up a sub .320 OBP/wOBA by the end of September.

He's also one of the best, if not the best, defensive catcher in the AL. JPA is a 2-4 win downgrade from Weiters.

Had to check the Jays' Pythagorean Expected Wins, right now they're on pace to win 72 games. Brutal.

Wells, Overbay and Nix finally came back down to Earth.

Bautista is a star on a great contract. He's worth as much as if not morre than Upton, Shields, Dickey, etc

Really good K and BB rates, he plays plus defence at a premium position, is young, cheap and controlable.

No reason to trade Gose for Kinsler, that's crazy talk.

Startinga rehab stint soon, good time to start... It could help keep him healthy too!

You could go Profar SS, Lawrie 2B, Reyes 3B...

Keep Dickey. You aren't getting a Syndergaard or d'Arnaud back and you're going to have to give up assets (payroll or player(s)) to fill those innings anyways. AA needs to add to the core of Jose + Reyes + Morrow + Dickey + Lawrie. If he moves one of the Joses he needs to bring back MLB ready stars.
