Rogers could have...they have access to the means to do so. They just chose not to for business reasons. Can't say as I blame them. Although $16mm per, if that's whats confirmed, isn't what I expected.

Sorry. Cant agree with this ^. MLB, NFL, NBA are multi billion brands and as a business they rely on "court of public opinion" far more than the legal test to protect their brand. I don't blame them for taking action even when there is reasonable doubt. In the same vein its why so many big brands dump celeb endorsements at the slightest hint of negative perception. The athletes benefit from the brand as evidenced by their earning power, and they should understand if they end up perceived to be acting on the wrong side of the league policies they will pay a commensurately higher price. It may not be fair or natural justice in the legal sense, but that's the price of admission into this massive business.

Fair enough. I've just seen too many dumb "AA would have done it all" comments since he left.
-
Yes, and AA + Beeston would have magically signed Price to a 5 year deal too.
-
Is this real life? Betances, Miller AND Chapman. We better hope our offense is good...in the earlier innings. Our pen sans Hendriks and Lowe makes me queasy.
-
You are just young. Dave Henderson was a pretty decent player. Not a household name for a lot of fans in his day. Had one very big hit in the playoffs.
-
That's awesome. Start em young. Waiting for my son to get over here from his mom's house. Got him the JD jersey he has been dying for.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and and an Adam Sandler "Happy Hanukkah" all inclusive good wishes to all on the Board and their families. Stay safe and enjoy some down time with real live people that matter most!

Lol. Clearly the Gov is in favour of Trump"s wall.
-
Definitely. That information takes this to a whole new level of cred for their own personal self assessment of this indepth analysis.
-
Lol. Reading this thread. Some funny stuff. Not that they ever would but imagine the players reading the comments on them..."homeless munchkin" and their mouth breathing lazy eye etc etc. It's Seinfeldian. There is no bottom to the depth of our shallowness.
-
Thanks Spank. I had seen that. I know that initially that's what he will do. I'm just interested to see if his role evolves as the season moves on. I liked that Aussie.

Oh. Well if so my apologies to King. Thx again. Must be getting too senstive in my 50's. Shoot me if I ever start sounding like JaysAllMighty. -

Sent u a PM back but your out of space. -
I thought it was a good deal although I'm interested to see if they try to use Hendriks in a spot start or middle relief role...or see him as a high leverage late inning guy. Something Gibby didn't see in him.
-
Honestly didn't think I'd see this market. A lot of us didn't even want to sign Estrada during last season when it came up, as it often did. Now I'm thankful as fk we did for what we did.
-
Bump. In case Bronson's tweet turns out legit.
-
I used to say that but after this run thats changed quite a bit. I've had many casuals ask me about ST games and locations etc. There's a hunger for ball that hasn't existed in too long. I take my son a lot of indoor ball stuff and see so many new kids into ball and talk to their parents who for the first time ask about ST and how to take their kids to jays games etc. Ont is still the epi center of course but I'd love to see Rogers capitalize on the window 2015 gave them to build on it.
-
Because I live in Calgary and i'm selfish Seriously though, there will probably be 15000 Jays fans at the Seattle games 2016. Lots of Jays fans in Western Canada. I still can't believe how into it so many families and kids got. They have been converted...I hope it lasts.

Gay jokes are just so pithy and original.
-
Whatever it means, I hope it includes a move to AZ for spring training. The facilities are incredible.

Shapiro: Upgrades planned for RC, grass not a top priority
BigCecil replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Fair point. If we play well this year and compete in playoffs, I expect people will soon forget about AA. Just as quickly as they forgot they wanted to fire him last June before the team turned it around. I don't regret the run, but so few casual fans realize the price of it wasn't cheap. -
Hey. I hope you are right and it happens. I'm just not that confident. He had stretches in the pen where he lost a lot of movement when his command and/or control kept leaving the ball up in the zone and giving up hard contact.
-
You can't give up on Sanchez. He just has to be used properly until or if he gains better command. A 3rd pitch might help but his BB/K rate is about more than that. As a starter he just put too many guys on base and was constantly flirting with inevitable disaster.
