    Well, Infante still isn't close to being an MLB pitcher yet.. he may throw hard, but he isn't fooling anyone..
  2. jaysfan2014
    That error hurt.. game's tied at 2 now after Ruiz's 2-run single.
  3. jaysfan2014
    Stroman throws it away.. runners at the corners.

    Looks like a trip to Lehigh Valley is in Severino Gonzalez's future.. he has no business on a MLB roster, especially facing a near backup/AAA roster today..
  5. jaysfan2014
    Severino Gonzalez sucks.. lucky thing the Phillies won't see much of him this year.

    Good AB for Pompey with a BB.

    Someone's tuned out--Travis is out until May or June due to surgery. It'll be a combo of Goins/Barney/Izturis until Travis returns.

    Low-risk move. Could be high reward for the Jays if he rediscovers his form. Nice to see Atkins/Shapiro building up depth--AA would never do this.

    Considering our history with the A's, good chance Nolin ends up back in Toronto. I mean, he won't cost much at this point..

    Especially when it sounds like it's exploding due to high pressure.. the noise bothers me. At least they still had manuals last season--whether they're still there in 2016 is another question. We'll have to wait and see in April.. I've got tickets for the A's series in April..
  11. jaysfan2014
    At least it'll look more attractive.. Tropicana Field wouldn't be so bad if it were a retractable roof stadium.. that catwalk-supported roof wrecks the game and it looks awful on TV.
  12. jaysfan2014
    Basically, depth for Buffalo. Next!

    Humberto Quintero is on a NRI with the Jays, if you're wondering about a veteran catcher.

    This isn't affecting the Blue Jays, but there are some layoffs going on in Rogers' TV, radio and publishing division, due to the upcoming changes with cable/satellite bundles, and declines in traditional media--the Jays success is the only reason Rogers Media didn't lose money: http://www.bnn.ca/News/2016/1/25/Rogers-Media-to-cut-200-jobs-across-TV-radio-publishing-divisions-.aspx Bell also laid off people recently--it isn't just limited to Rogers. It's more due to cord-cutters.. it's also the same thing that's causing huge layoffs at ESPN. Without Sportsnet and the Blue Jays, they'd be in trouble.. traditional media is dying because people are switching to online services like Netflix and/or cheaper bundles such as what's coming in March due to changes in cable/satellite rules.

    Zip it. You realize that oil companies are cutting back exploration and production budgets, right? That will lead to a huge dropoff in production.. it's been said that the US is already having to import more Canadian oil because their shale production is falling like a rock..
  16. jaysfan2014
    Bogaerts too. And considering their performance, they'll likely be getting significant raises.
  17. jaysfan2014
    You left out Venezuela, Russia and Libya. And talk is that they want production cuts NOW and significantly higher prices than currently.
  18. jaysfan2014
    Especially considering the Chinese (and possibly the Saudis) are selling US treasuries to try to defend their currencies. Sooner or later, investors will demand higher rates on US debt, which will lead to a plunge in the US dollar.
  19. jaysfan2014
    Going back to baseball--he's likely heading back to the Mets or the Nats anyway. Nobody else seems interested.
  20. jaysfan2014
    Which equals a 90 cent to parity dollar within a year or two. This is exactly what I've been saying.. no production is viable at $30/barrel. Plus, the US dollar is likely to fall significantly as well.. especially if oil countries start wanting their own currencies instead of US dollars for oil--some countries are already wanting Yuan for oil instead of dollars for oil being sold to China..
  21. jaysfan2014
    With all the talk of more stimulus and QE worldwide, $20 isn't happening. And because of low prices, shale bankruptcies will be coming very soon as the banks start cutting off debt-laden shale oil producers. Once supply drops off, prices will soar. And FYI, exporting oil will actually send prices surging when supply/demand becomes more balanced. And the dollar's already back over 70 cents since a few days ago..
  22. jaysfan2014
    Production will fall off a cliff on shale wells at this level.. plus there's a risk of supply disruptions in the Middle East. Any sign of this could cause prices to surge..
  23. jaysfan2014
    It's going to start recovering sooner or later--oil can't stay this low, and the US Federal Reserve will likely not raise rates anytime soon, and may actually cut--CME odds currently project no rate hikes at all this year--if they cut in the US, their dollar will plunge. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html
  24. jaysfan2014
    Of similar concern is the chance the Fed in the US cuts rates and does QE4--with the recession risk (if they're not there already) down there, it's looking increasingly likely, which could send our dollar soaring as well and send the US dollar plummeting due to lack of confidence in the US economy and their central bank. There's huge debt in the shale industry down there.. if production drops significantly by mid-year, $50 will easily be attainable, if not higher. I mean, the odds of rate hikes in the US have dropped significantly in recent weeks.. and their dollar has stopped rising vs. the Euro and Yen.. the only currencies it's risen against recently are the British Pound and commodity currencies such as ours. And betting money on that--are you referring to the oil price? I expect it will be much higher than the $28 it is right now.. especially if OPEC decides to cut production, as current levels are causing cutbacks in spending on new production..
  25. jaysfan2014
    According to that one analyst at Macquarie Group.. that's a BS prediction. With oil likely to rebound to $40-50 by season's end, our dollar will be back in the $0.73-75 range by year's end. The current low dollar is due to oil being at $28/barrel and people acting like oil is a majority of our economy (which it isn't).. not economic factors. You can't produce oil at these levels--production will go down, reducing the current supply glut and boosting prices.
