    Ship has sailed. He's a reliever.
  2. glory
    Probably. I'm just making a prediction, not saying what I want to happen.

    When I saw his name as a rumored trade option for Texas, I figured Atkins would be all over it. Should come cheap because he hasn't been good, but still young with control left, and the Jays could give him playing time for the rest of this season, and the next two years when Travis and Tulo both take their annual extended DL trips. Not saying I want him, just saying it wouldn't surprise me if Atkins is after him.

    Jose now has a 93 wrc+ and .390 slg. Damn that extra draft pick would have been nice.
  5. glory
    I have a feeling we are targeting Profar. Can cover all infield positions and has two years of control left after this year. Value has gone to hell. Time to load up on failed top prospects and have them get some of that high performance Justin Smoak magic.
  6. glory
    Jarrod Dyson is a free agent. Can play all three OF positions extremely well and is probably a 2-3 war everyday player. Teams don't usually pay big money for defence and he's in his 30's. Might be a reasonable two year contract type of player.
  7. glory
    Ref's defence graded out pretty well in the outfield in 2016, though in a small sample size (158 innings). Doesn't look like much of an infielder but maybe there's some potential in the outfield. It's a shot in the dark but why the f not at this point?

    I don't think there is that much payroll room. Guaranteed deals next year are Martin, Smoak, Tulo, Pearce, Morales, Happ, and Guirrel. For those seven players it is a little over $75mm. Donaldson's arb case alone will take that figure close to $100m, and that's not factoring Stroman, Sanchez, Osuna, Pillar, and Travis in arbitration. Available dough is probably closer to $40-50mm than $65mm.
  9. glory
    Maybe, but he has a 1.2 WAR and 111 wrc+ right now, plus is probably playing through some sort of injury. Aside from Boston there really isn't a contender looking for a 3B either. The timing doesn't feel right to move him. By this time next year if he is back to 2013-16 JD performance, then even for half a season he might be able to get similar value to what he might have now. It's a risk either way.

    Seriously. Dombrowski is AA on steroids when it comes to trading prospects. And the ones he does keep he will promote straight from A-ball Double-A because why the f*** not?
  11. glory
    I think the issue here is that if trading Donaldson now isn't going to give them the type of return they want/need, then what's the point? If you're going to sell JD at 50 cents on the dollar than you can do that next year too. I don't want to look back 5 years from now and say "at least we got 3 s***** prospects for JD instead of losing him for nothing". Dammit, I want a real prospect or two. If you want to rebuild, you'll need to trade for real prospects. Otherwise you can just let them go for nothing and start from scratch after 2018. I mean, what the hell is the difference?
  12. glory
    I can see NJH's logic only because trading JD now would be selling very low and the Jays won't be getting the types of prospects they need in return for him. The question is how will his value look in the winter? If he has a great second half, then that would help, but if not, then what can the Jays realistically trade? I mean, other than the young pitching, they have nothing to trade. It's actually worse than being just old. They are old and have no value. I can see the logic in keeping JD and giving this group one more shot but only if they can't get appropriate value for him now. Seriously, a fire sale with nothing to trade isn't really all that enticing. We ain't getting what the White Sox got in return for their guys.
  13. glory
    Stroman would have so much trade value right now. If the Jays are going to rebuild, he's the guy to move. They could make a killing right now.
  14. glory
    Well, I mean, we had every right to be. He was awful before this season. Amazing year he is having though. Front office had faith in him and it worked out.
  15. glory
    Man looking at the Jays roster, who the f*** can they trade for any value at all? That's the most depressing part about this team. The veterans aren't worth s***.
  16. glory
    Yeah, Bautista picking up his option while the Jays decline it because no one in their right mind would pay him $17mm would hurt his ego more than a trade. At least a trade you can spin it as "thanks for all the great years with us but we're not winning a ring this year so go get one" type of thing. Bautista announcing he will retire at the end of the season is really the only way I'd want to keep him but that's not going to happen. Even giving 2nd half AB's to a never-will-be like Dwight Smith Jr would at least have a tiny bit of upside if he turns out better than expected. But trotting Jose out there as a shell of what he used to be isn't going to get anyone to buy a ticket to watch a bad team.
  17. glory
    Yeah if he can cover 2b even decently then no more Goins playing everyday when Travis misses 80 games next year. Guirrel turning into a big leaguer asap would be great.
  18. glory
    You're bored too?
  19. glory
    Don't care if the Jays win or lose, but dammit I want Estrada to raise his trade value. Become Acetrada again for at least one more week!
  20. glory
    I don't know who the F Gideon Turk is, but he wrote this on BP Toronto. Estrada for Sparkman would be pretty damn funny in a sad way.
  21. glory
    What is Cavan's upside? Utility IF? It would be cool if all three came up and became MLB players at the same time, but Biggio seems like a longshot.
  22. glory
    Yeah they should not sell for the sake of selling unless it is trying to salvage a bad situation (like trading Jose, Marco, and Liriano). Otherwise, hold out for the best value even if it's a year from now. The prospects they get back are more important than the direction of the team. Try to maximize the prospect return.
  23. glory
  24. glory
    At this rate if you could get a Matt Boyd equivalent, you'd have to take it. Low upside, bottom rotation guy who can help right away will have value.
  25. glory
    The only argument against rebuilding would be that nobody wants our s*** (Jose, Estrada, Liriano, Tulo, Martin, Morales, etc), or we would be selling real low and not maximizing proper value (JD). It's starting to look like trading Stroman, Sanchez, and Osuna is the only real way of rebuilding, and you can probably move them next year at this time and not lose out on much value. Otherwise, I can't imagine sitting through another season like this next year. This one is bad enough and it's barely half way done.
