Ehjays

Yes I posted this one earlier can't wait for baseball to start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQUuvcCj3NA#t=58

Can't see them backing out of a verbal agreement but there seems to be a lot more players coming out of Cuba, if they ever were to back out.....now would be the time.

Maybe Jays backed out to go after something before July ...........We never know :0)

Guys......listen up the new BASEBALL season is just around the f***in corner and this is one of our newly added threats at the plate and in the field.....let the games begin!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQUuvcCj3NA#t=58

LOL....was just about to say the same.

knowing internally they were going a different direction and benching Rasmus......why did this FO not try to get what little value he had and trade him.....even picking up his contract.....instead of paying him. benching him and getting nothing. I question that.

Wow,they are paying Rasmus 8 and we have Donaldson for 4.3 Thats sweet!!

wtf

First of all you might not need a fifth starter all the time at the start but Yeah you're right.....lets just run this team like a bunch of blind f***in idiots and backload every contract not worry about tomorrow

Why......because 2 months of Buffalo delays his service clock. And gives us 1 full bonus year

If there is one clear area this team needs to improve on its International scouting Presence. Everytime a big free agent is signed from Japan or Cuba AA says we didn't have enough info on him. MLB is a competitive league and you have go far and beyond to get that edge. If you don't have enough info.....you better change your ways because there are 10 teams improving when you aren't.

Im not sure the Jays want to start Norris's service time clock so I see Estrada-Sanchise starting the season and Norris taking over the 5 spot in May

Sheilds will not sign here, he wants to be close to home which is west coast

I agree

Question < Dalton Pompey wasn't even on your top 100 list - or probably anyone's for that matter - last year, yet here he is ranked 42nd and in the mix to be the Opening Day center fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays. How do you explain Pompey's sudden rise through the ranks and what does his ceiling look like? LAW:I think he got a bit stronger and the plate discipline was already pretty solid. He maintained it even though they kept promoting him last year. It's one thing to have good plate discipline for your age and your level and take good at bats, that's great. But eventually you move up to Double-A and all of a sudden that back door slider is a pitch you've never seen located before and it never seemed to phase him, actually. He can play the heck out of center field, he's a good athlete, the swings look good, all the other elements are there. I think you're looking at an above average every day center fielder, probably getting to that level after another year or so. He got to the majors really quickly and I understand there's some debate over whether he'll start the season in the big leagues. At this point, I don't know that he's got a lot left to learn in the minors. I would be willing to let him struggle a little bit in 2015 in the majors if I thought it would advance his long-term development, and I do. That means 2016-17 you're looking at a guy who really is your anchor - a plus defender who gets on base at a great clip and adds a lot of value on the bases. That's probably a top 10 center fielder in baseball once he gets to that peak.

Q: Which pitcher from your top 100 list has the most injury-vulnerable delivery? LAW: Aaron Sanchez. At some point he shortened his stride, and guys who shorten their stride like that end up hurt. Tyler Skaggs blew his elbow out, Taijuan Walker has had a bunch of shoulder issues. Sanchez has stayed healthy - I hope he stays healthy. I hope they lengthen his stride because you can't pitch like that. That's a medical evaluation, not even a baseball evaluation. You ask guys who study injuries, like Dr. (James) Andrews' people, and they'll tell you: it doesn't work. It's amazing that he's kept his stuff but I'm very concerned about his health. I hope he gets back to the delivery he used to have.

Not sure if this has been posted but heres Keith Law chat blue jays related Pompey and Sanchez

you know we\re not in on him because we have deals in place next year

Thanks............Now translate

My post from Jan 24......."I can see Castro make the team in the pen out of spring" Just the way AA was preaching about him gave me subtle hints he was leaning that way. I don't think its wise for reasons already stated I just see AA going with youth.

pass

True or not, i like being pumped up about our prospects

first you say you wouldn't live in an area no one would ever visit willingly........then 45 min later you post this........ Make up your mind

Did they eliminate that stupid rule for catchers blocking the plate yet

Don't feel sorry for me pal, you're the Orioles fan. not me
