    This is a good deal if he pans out--I mean, despite the low average and K issues, he's also getting on base a lot (.333 OBP). Many teams would've likely offered him quite a bit of money in this awful free agent market lacking in depth.. Next up, the Jays need to lock up Saunders and one of EE/Bautista.

    Oakland's pen is going to run out quickly at this point--thanks to injuries, all they have after Dull is Madson and two kids (Schuster and Triggs, who suck).
  3. jaysfan2014
    Damn it Tampa--can't you score one damn run? Another O's win.. neither Boston or Toronto can gain ground.
  4. jaysfan2014
    "John" Donaldson LOL...
  5. jaysfan2014
    Not over yet--Miller just doubled. Tying run at 2nd..scratch that, 3rd now. C'mon Longoria..
  6. jaysfan2014
    No Jamie Campbell either--guess he and Buck took the same vacation time.
  7. jaysfan2014
    That's my concern. Of course, this is Dombrowski--a guy who traded 3 good pitching prospects to Seattle for Mark Langston (a deal that hurt the Expos, especially consider one was HOF Randy Johnson--high risk that this deal ends up a similar way if Espinoza pans out. As for Pomeranz, shoulder injuries are a serious risk.. and considering he's in uncharted territory in innings pitched and throws a lot of curveballs, he is at high risk to get hurt.
  8. jaysfan2014
    And losing Ortiz is going to hurt, as nobody can really replace him--and don't assume EE signs with Boston. Other teams are expected to be in the mix along with the Jays, and the Pomeranz deal will drain any funds that could go for EE, as he's arb eligible for 2 more years and expected to command a large raise with his breakout if he keeps it up. Remember, Boston's payroll for next season after the Pomeranz deal is already approaching $200M projected (with benefits), limiting flexibility. This isn't the Dodgers--Boston has limits, and may actually cut payroll next year to offset the overspending this season on Ortiz's retirement. And of course, JBJ, Betts and Bogaerts begin to get expensive next year.. And Boston's farm is hardly stocked--after Moncada, Devers and Benintendi, there are significant question marks, with many of their farm guys projected as org. depth. Most notably, they have very little pitching depth above A+ ball.. and Espinoza being dealt thins it even more.

    Holy, the Royals lineup looks like a mess without Cain and Moustakas.. though it depends what version of Dickey we get tonight.
  10. jaysfan2014
    Get someone in Cleveland $1M!(referencing the old VTech contest the Blue Jays used to have, just like the old GM car that used to be in CF where hitting it won a car) Rajai Davis has hit for the cycle!
  11. jaysfan2014
    Not yet. He's not even on the 40 anyway..
  12. jaysfan2014
    Cecil expected to return tomorrow, and possibly Morales as well. Tepera and Schultz are expected to be sent to Buffalo (AAA). And boy the Jays pen needs it.. and really never wants to see Coors Field again, where pitchers get destroyed regularly on either team..
  13. jaysfan2014
    AL East will be between Toronto and those O's. Boston will be out of contention by the All-Star break due to shoddy pitching, and I expect Houston or KC to take the 2nd wild card, while either the Jays or O's get the first one.
  14. jaysfan2014
    EE is slumping.. he really needs a day off soon. If only Smoak was healthy..
  15. jaysfan2014
    Roberto Hernandez, Scott Diamond, Chris Leroux, Jeremy Gabryszwski (who's likely to get a promotion to Buffalo soon), Luis Santos.
  16. jaysfan2014
    D-Backs are much, much worse at home.. the desert air is really awful for their pitching staff.. it's why Corbin pitches like an ace in northern climates, East coast, etc, and a #5 guy in Arizona.. his ERA is absolute sh*t when he pitches at home.
  17. jaysfan2014
    Or maybe due to the fact they've played Baltimore twice since he came back? Plus, Corbin, as I just mentioned, has much better numbers outside of Chase Field.
  18. jaysfan2014
    Kansas City just lost. No change in the standings. So this game is basically a mulligan.. come back tomorrow and clobber Ray (whose numbers are not even close to Corbin..)
  19. jaysfan2014
    Tulo didn't really hurt the team.. Corbin is just a good pitcher outside of Chase Field (3-1, 2.66 ERA, 1.114 WHIP). And if you think we're whining, imagine what's going on in Red Sox Nation--they just blew another game vs. the White Sox, meaning the Jays don't lose any ground to Boston, and Kansas City is about to lose.. so no changes in the standing. And seriously, F*** Baltimore.. really hope San Diego comes back in that game.
  20. jaysfan2014
    What offense? He's barely been hitting over the Mendoza line since May.. only good for walks.
  21. jaysfan2014
    Didn't you guys see Arizona's road record? They're a decent team outside of Chase Field.. the problem is that the ball carries a lot in Arizona, just like Colorado, screwing up their pitching staff. Home ERA: 5.28 Road ERA: 3.46 Plus, Corbin was firing a ton of ground balls.. he was good. Not completely the Jays fault.. thought the lineup really needed Smoak in it.
  22. jaysfan2014
    Too bad they can't play all their games outside of that bandbox in Arizona..
  23. jaysfan2014
    It's not gonna make any difference--Boston and Kansas City are losing tonight. So nothing's going to change.. except Baltimore continues to dominate the AL East instead of Boston..
  24. jaysfan2014
    The last time I saw anything D-Backs in Toronto was July 22, 2007--D. Baxter visited Toronto, along with a bunch of other mascots to give away Ace's bobblehead--wish they'd do something like this again. For the team, on the other hand, this is their first appearance at Rogers Centre since the Delgado days (2004).
  25. jaysfan2014
    No Machado tomorrow or the next three games after that--he will serve his suspension tomorrow. So we might have a chance tomorrow, depending on Stroman..
