    That much?

    First, I'm not sure MB can be traded without this team eating salary. So say it costs 4m, and what do you think Lester or Shields will cost? Add about 4m to that and you can guess why MB is not going to be traded. This team has no vision, unfortunately AA is here for another year, and I highly doubt a GM on the last year of his deal is going to look to rebuild a team that desperately needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. The way this team is constructed right now, it needs another 20-25m in payroll for it to have a chance next year. That's assuming JB doesn't decline a lot as most players in their mid 30s tend to do. The biggest trade this team could make would be swapping front offices with another team.

    I'm hoping we can work out a deal with Melky. That 40th overall pick will not help us next year or the following, and I think Melky won't be asking for absurd amounts of money. Plus, the hitting will take a pretty big hit without him in the lineup.

    You think Casey Janssen will get 4/44???? lol He'll most likely get a 3 year 18-22m deal. I still don't know if your post is serious or not, if we should QO Janssen for ~14m.

    Red Sox will be back, they have good prospect depth, are going to bid on some IFAs (which the bluejays don't believe in and that's one of the reasons they will never win anything), and the Yanks have major payroll coming off the books. This was the year to spend that extra 15-20m and get a legit #1 pitcher + infielder through trades or FA.
  6. xposbrad
    not realistic, he's not worth 22, but he's def worth 13-15m on the open market

    of which half were arguing about xfip and how some people weren't even watching the game but just analyzing stats as if they were
  8. xposbrad
    It's not as if that suddenly means the Blue Jays will be successful on the field. There's still other management and owner issues still present. Not to mention, the new GM will have a full plate, with veterans near the end of their contracts, not much top end hitting in the minors, and owners who aren't willing to add to payroll.

    Well, in their defense, they probably don't play sports and don't understand sports consist of more than 1 stat. Otherwise, there would be no need for scouts or anyone to even watch the game.
  10. xposbrad
    in all fairness, good players cost money, and the blue jays don't have that right now
  11. xposbrad
    this team will definitely hit the postseason with Ryan Goins in the lineup
  12. xposbrad
    lol no, but he was amazing, him and Brad Fullmer. My first name is Brad as well.
  13. xposbrad
    No clue, I was stressing the fact we could beat them. One of the top 2 hitters on this team is out.
  14. xposbrad
    With EE/Lind/Lawrie, the Jays are better ..IF they come back
  15. xposbrad
    The Jays could beat those dirty angel arabs ...
  16. xposbrad
    Remember when some 'posters' here wanted Hammel. Check out his stats with Oakland since the trade.
  17. xposbrad
    hahahah that's right on...were the jays in on Abreu too?
  18. xposbrad
    Not really, you have to factor in team control and salary for the full picture.
  19. xposbrad
    They traded their #2 prospect. I don't think they had such a strong farm to begin with though. Still a good return for the Red Sox.
  20. xposbrad
    It doesn't matter on who they focus, they won't make the post season. The Yanks already caught up, and the Rays are not far behind. They will send their only top prospects for a 1-2 year rental, won't make the playoffs, and then be in a worse spot after just so AA can try to save face and possibly not get fired.
  21. xposbrad
    he's one lucky SOB, man that girl is smoking
  22. xposbrad
    The yankees really don't care, they signed Solarte as a FA, and have quite a lot of infielders they signed recently. Solarte can be replaced, but Headley I'm sure they want for a push for this year. I think they see the freefall the BJs are in, and still think they can hit the playoffs.

    Ya Cliff Lee is only 35, so this fits with AA's plan of targeting old vets for young prospects. Lee basically has 2 more years following this one under team control. His 2016 - $27.5 million club options ($12.5 million buyout) - 2016 club option guaranteed if he has 200 IP in 2015 or 400 IP in 2014-15 and is not on DL after 2015 with left elbow or left shoulder injury. Now, WTF did they not bid on Darvish if they are prepared to pay those kinds of numbers on a 35+ year old pitcher. Man, if this club only had a plan.
  24. xposbrad
    Bang on, wtf was that malakas so fixed on a late 30s knuckleballer? At the time, TDA and Synd were highly regarded prospects. The shape of this team could have been entirely different had AA targeted a young #1 or #2 stud.
  25. xposbrad
    Several top 20 prospects, along with always signing the top IFAs and so glad we outbid everyone on Puig/Abreu/Tanaka/Davish. Since we're playing the sarcasm game!
