  1. Not sure why Thornton is even in this game. He threw 80 pitches in 3 innings. i know we need the SP to eat innings but he is probably already tired.
  2. Since it's the Rays not only will Franco agree to an extension, but it will probably be a 6 year deal with 4 team options where his max earnings will be like $35 million.
  3. Biggio and Vlad walk followed by a Gurriel HR. Damn that looks good on the box score. The pitching for this org scares the crap out of me, but the offence could be solid as early as next season.
  4. The Yankees will get a starter in the next month for Frazier. If it's not Stroman (hopefully it won't be) then it will be someone else. The NY media is in classic spin mode trying to portray Cashman as not wanting to trade Frazier without getting a massive haul, when he's probably hoping to make a trade where Frazier is the only real piece he has to move. The Jays can do better than a defensively challenged corner OF whose offensive potential probably isn't as great as projected to be. Hopefully there are better offers out there, and I see no reason why there wouldn't be. That extra year of control makes a big difference. It probably won't be a great deal, as teams now more than ever are reluctant to move good prospects, but it sure as hell should be better than Clint f'n Frazier as the center piece. If not, then hold on to Stro.
  5. If the Jays deal Stroman to the Yankees, the main piece coming back will be Frazier. That is who Cashman is trying to use to improve the rotation. Expecting anyone significant beyond that is wishful thinking. That's why I hope he's traded anywhere else.
  6. Hell, in the two (?) trades Atkins made with them, he got Diaz for Woodman and Grichuk for Greene/Leone. Apparently could have gotten Flaherty for one year of JD too which in hindsight would have looked good. I'm down with trading with the Cards again, though their system isn't as deep as it used to be.
  7. Edwin is typically not a player who hits the ball the other way. It's a s***** part of the park but both sides will have a chance to hit BS home runs.
  8. For those complaining about the right field porch, you know that advantage is available to Yankee opponents too, right?
  9. Richard is the perfect tank commander. He will be s*** more times than not, but he'll be s*** over 5 innings.
  10. Morales has a -1.2 WAR and 96 wRC+ since the Jays signed him. $33 millon flushed down the drain, although at least we got some international dough out of it.
  11. That would be preferable, but Sanchez is an entitled jackass who probably thinks he's better than that, and we have practically no depth in the rotation. Move him to the pen and I'm fine with that, but at this point I'm just tired of seeing him pitch period.
  12. I'd trade Sanchez for a relief prospect, and it doesn't even have to be a great one.
  13. Yeah, not sure why we wouldn't want an extra year of Bichette by waiting until next April, rather than letting him get a few AB's in a 100 loss season now. It sucks for Bo and the fans, I'd rather have him up ASAP, but I wouldn't get that logic either. Unless Shatkins is sure they can extend Bo long term while Vlad is probably a lock to test free agency.
  14. Did Biggio ever publicly brag about how good his strike zone recognition is? The amount of balls that are called strikes when he's up is ridiculous.
  15. Pretty much. Montoyo is being used for when the team tanks and then will be replaced when they want to win. Same thing thr Astros did with their manager before 2015.
  16. Haha, ok that makes sense. I was looking at Cooper's numbers and was wondering what I was missing.
  17. Damn, I was always holding on to hope that Paulino could be a starter, but dude's arm is not built for it. He needs to be turned into a reliever.
  18. Nope. You guys can believe what you want. I’m not messing with Cashman. Ever. He drafts well, develops well, and never trades prospects that end up biting him in the ass. If Garrett Cooper is the exception (a 28 year old 1B with a .376 BABIP), then not only is that not changing my opinion, but I’ll just bring up Voit who is better and who they got for not much. When Frazier is traded, he will become a bust. I’m sure of it. I’m sipping the Cashman koolaid.
  19. The fact that Cashman hasn’t given him an everyday role means he’s going to suck the moment he’s traded. Cashman never trades a good prospect away. Look at his history. Sheffield turned to s*** the moment he switched uniforms. If Frazier is the return for Stroman we will be very disappointed.
  20. Their bench would probably start for most teams. Such a deep and well put together roster. Can't hate on the Yankees when they are built the right way. They develop talent while winning better than teams who are rebuilding/tanking. Now they'll probably turn Frazier into more rotation help (hopefully not from the Jays unless it is Sanchez going the other way, which it won't be).
  21. I wouldn't have let him start the inning either, but definitely taken him out before facing Betts. I don't think Montoyo is very analytical, but that's probably beating a dead horse considering the other aspects of his managing this season.
  22. Can't wait until the 3 batter minimum. Manfred has that one right.
  23. Not going to blame Teoscar for that since the park is a s*** show, but letting Thornton face Betts in the 7th inning is very un Rays like (4th time through the order).
  24. Thornton has definitely been a good story so far, and seems to be getting better as the season goes on.
