What "c'mon man"? Unless you were making a bad pun about his name, he's right about everything he said. He's just trying to create some objective discussion, something that is too much of a rarity on this forum, especially with new users.
I agree with everything you said; Gose does deserve to stay, but now that they've got Reimold, Gose is that much stronger as a depth option ready and waiting at AAA in case someone gets injured. An outfield of Melky, Colby and Bautista with Reimold off the bench and DH'ing against lefties should be more than adequate for a team trying to win.
In the infield, not only should the Jays pursue someone like Headley, they need to have the balls to move Reyes off short. I don't know why Lawrie at short is never mentioned as a possibility, but he's got good range and a wicked arm and it's worth a shot; he can't be any worse than Reyes. An infield (once healthy -- if that will ever happen) of Headley-Lawrie-Reyes-Edwin should be better than satisfactory as well. Tolleson and Francisco then gain value for being bench guys as opposed to starters.
Kratz should be called back up as the backup catcher; he's good against lefties, great defensively, and the team shouldn't have to suffer for four days because Old Man f***tard needs someone to catch his s***** knuckler once a week.
OF| Melky-Colby-Jose IF| Headley-Lawrie-Reyes-Edwin C| Navarro DH| Lind
BENCH| Kratz, Tolleson, Francisco, Reimold
There's enough defense, offence, power, and platoon splits there to be able to be "in it" in every game. With Gose in Buffalo as an injury replacement, you shore up the OF. Ideally you cut Navarro, but we know they won't do that, so catching is essentially "set" as well, with the less-than-desirable options of Navarro and Thole. All that really needs to be worked on beyond the above lineup is getting one good infield replacement to sit as depth in AAA (like Gose), a starting pitcher, and an extra relief arm.
If Headley is possible to obtain; good. If it's possible to add Kennedy to that, then great. If it's possible to add Benoit on top of all that and still make a reasonable trade, then excellent. They can fill all of their holes in one trade and get back to focusing on winning.
And if not, then they need to stop f***ing around with their tail between their legs and start a legitimate firesale. Enough of this ******** "hovering in the middle" garbage that has gone on 20 years too long.
