    Yeah I think Stroman is signable. Sanchez not so much with Boras. Still, you have four years of control left on both. Is there any real urgency?

    Because hating the idea of trading two of your best prospects for a 38 year old knuckleballer coming off a season he had no chance of ever duplicating requires front office know-how.

    They are probably in the 82-85 win talent range. I see it playing out similarly to how depth charts has the standings. Boston, Houston, and Cleveland winning their respective divisions, and the Jays being right in the thick of the WC race with a few other teams. Other than the AAA outfield, the Jays don't seem to have any depth in the minors. That will make health very important to them, especially in the rotation. Obviously if they lose Donaldson for any extended period of time they are screwed regardless.

    Pearce and Upton are better than Smoak and Zeke but the latter may get the bulk of the AB's against RHP, at least early on. It will make some difference.
  5. glory
    Blanton would be a good fit. He might get more than $3mm though.
  6. glory
    They are equally bad against righties worst case, and Upton does everything else better. Start Upton and use Zeke as a 4th of. Best case, Upton goes back to his Padres form and the Jays get pretty damn good value for one year. No upside with Zeke at all.

    Man, if Carrera and Upton are the LF options, then I think we all know who Gibbons will play more. Ugh.

    How about Gregor Blanco? Coming off a down year but solid defensive LF, about average against rhp typically, and a 2.0-2.5 WAR player from 2012-15. Can't be worse than Carrera. Edit: nvm, signed with the D-Backs. Wow, a minor league deal. I wonder why the JAys weren't on that. Well maybe they were but he didn't want to sign. I seriously would take anyone over Zeke at this point.
  9. glory
    He signed with the Royals.
  10. glory
    Smoak at 1B and Carrera in LF against RHP is going to be brutal to watch when Pearce and Upton are better than both of them at practically everything. I still say put Pearce at 1B full time and sign the best value LF you can find that can platoon with Upton.
  11. glory
    It's fairly cheap and a one year deal. Nothing to complain about.

    Ignoring the fact that Fernandez was a generational talent, he threw 135 innings in 2012 with amazing numbers, and then got called up in 2013. Osuna threw 109 innings in 2012, 2013, and 2014 combined, and had TJ surgery. There was nothing indicating that he was worthy of a call up. AA got desperate because he had no money left to pay for a reliever, and he was willing to destroy the development of two of his prospects to fill those spots. I'm fine with how Osuna turned out since there are questions about his durability, but he should have been in the minors being stretched out. Or at least call him up to the bigs as a reliever after he's had a starter's workload in the minors, so that converting him back down the road could have been realistic. Osuna probably had a greater chance of turning out like Castro than he did turning into what he became. That's a credit to his talent more than anything else that he was able to be this good this soon.

    The replica beer can giveaway at the stadium is going to be brutal.
  14. glory
    Promoting Castro and Osuna when he did was idiotic by AA and will remain so regardless of Osuna's success. If you promoted 100 20-year old's in A-ball with the lack of experience that those two had straight to the big leagues, I'd bet over 90% of them would fail. Osuna's success is actually amazing.
  15. glory
    Yeah, why not just have the Cards lose picks rather than awarding them to Houston?

    Wasserman owing Shapiro every Cuban prospect they have because of giving Morales an extra year is fine with me.
  18. glory
    Yeah that seems like a terrible place for Moss to go. Maybe the guy likes pitchers parks that hold back his best skill.
  19. glory
    Didn't Breslow change his arm slot or something? Might be worth a look if they feel it will change his performance for the better. If he's the same old guy, then yeah, I'll pass.
  20. glory
    What years in the 2000's was Law in the Jays org? No wonder the drafting under JP sucked for so long.
  21. glory
    Damn with that repertoire he could be the next Chapman.
  22. glory
    When I saw his name on Twitter a couple of days ago I wondered if the Jays would have interest based on them signing Guirrel seemingly out of no where. Hope it happens. And I still want Carrera's instagram post to be a goodbye to Jays fans. Still holding out hope.
  23. glory
    Hopes dashed.
  24. glory
    The intragram vid shows pics of many different things (winter tour, pics of the playoff celebrations, etc). Does seem weird to post if he's still with the team, but who knows. Don't tease me. Zeke seems like a good guy, but he's not needed in Toronto and Gibby will play him way more than he deserves, so I'd be fine if he was dealt.
  25. glory
    Based on Law's track record with prospects, we should look at his lists in descending order from like 11 onwards. The ones he doesn't value are the ones who usually pan out.
