    Reds would most likely want players with plenty of years under team control left and affordable. If the Jays are going to get Cueto they are going to need to dump guys like Norris/Pompey etc. I think JB is going to go to an AL team if he gets traded, he's mid 30s and if he has to he can dh. EE could be a fit with an NL team, but it has to be win now teams for each player.

    I never said they have to trade them for young prospects. There are mlb ready players that can be traded for. That logic that you keep them because you might not develop a prospect is extremely bad baseball business. You trade them because that's what smart teams do if they want to retool and compete when they are faced with limited budgets.

    The Jays would miss out on a huge opportunity not trading either one now. I know JB is having arm/shoulder issues and he's off to a slow start, but he's 34. If some team will give up a top prospect for him, he has to be traded without even thinking twice. EE is 32, he should have a couple of good years left, but now would be the time to trade him, to get the best return back. The Jays don't have the luxury of just buying any talent like the Red Sox/Yanks/Dodgers, they need to make those moves, otherwise this club will always be average.

    not one other BJ even flinched when he said that...

    Firing Gibbons will not change much. AA has to be the first on the totem pole. The astros have rebuilt with a younger, higher upside, cheaper core than the blue Jays did and should make the playoffs quicker. That's on the GM's head if he can't retool and put out a decent lineup with good hitting AND good pitching.

    Does SIERA factor in if it's a close game, like say the Jays have the lead, then they give up 1-2 runs and lose the game vs a game when they give up 1-2 runs and we have a 5+ run lead? Does it account for when a reliever pitches out of a jam like when they come into a game with runners on 1/2nd from the SP (so those aren't their ER on base) and they get out of it vs giving up say 1 hit and costing a run even if it isn't their earned run. Giving up a single with no one on, or a single with a runner on 2nd, can it differentiate the two as someone might score?

    They both need to be traded, it's not even a question anymore. There are some ace pitchers available next offseason, you can trade them for mlb ready pieces now and look to compete in the short term. We just traded for Travis and he's adjusted fairly quickly after having never even played above AA. I don't know if I trust that AA will sacrifice this year and possibly next when his job is on this line and actually do the smart thing. It's too bad, those guys could net quite a package to a contender this year, granted if they start hitting a bit better again.

    It's ok, we have depth

    I hope you have a large pantry, it's going to be a long season. I'd stay stock up for next year as well but beer doesn't last that long.

    There's some sarcasm in my post..I want AA gone
  12. xposbrad
    I really thought Dickey would be pitching until his 50s, like most other pitchers do. What's next, JB is going to regress? I just don't understand.
  13. xposbrad
    no, he's still projected to have a decent war
  14. xposbrad
    it's ok, starting pitching isn't a problem..
  15. xposbrad
    Yes, the Blue Jays will most likely always be a near .500 team, with an outside shot every year of competing in making the playoffs IF everything works out. This year, they are like the Rangers from the early 2000s, all hitting, no pitching. It would be nice to do a quick rebuild, but that would require trading fan favorites. Not sure the Toronto market would be able to handle that. The Blue Jays are run like a business, they know even if they are average they will make X in revenues and X in profits, which is really what matters to ownership.

    our BP is probably the strongest in the AL

    Why does donaldson pump before throwing, I thought they teach you in the majors to not do that.
  18. xposbrad
    That's not exactly smart baseball business. You either hold onto him or you at least trade him for something useful. He's off to a very hot start, already 9 doubles. He's going to have a solid season hitting, I would have held onto him. It was a horrible trade.
  19. xposbrad
    Most likely not, but it sure does make for good internet forum hypothetical talk.

    Meanwhile, Shields has looked pretty decent in SD. I'm not saying that I would have liked it in 3 years from now, but for the short term, this team needed him.
  21. xposbrad
    The point is, what's really the effectiveness in spending all that money at catcher if we have 0 quality starters for him to work with
  22. xposbrad
    Martin = catching WAR , he's really helped with the pitching, like everyone said in the offseason
  23. xposbrad
    6 run lead should be enough now for the BP even if they give up 3-4 we'll still take it
  24. xposbrad
    seemed like the catcher was blocking the plate either way
  25. xposbrad
    + then we only need 2-3 other starters and 2 quality BP arms, and ....anything else?
