Bluejays cancel State of the French Fries...
glory replied to TheHurl's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
This type of thing is what bad teams do to generate interest in the team. The Jays are coming off back to back playoff appearances, a surge in attendance, and probably a good amount of attendance expected in 2017. No need to do it now. Plus as mentioned the idiots who attend those things will probably boo Shapiro while genuflecting in front of Gibbons, so screw em. -
Isn't Salty a horrid framer? I mean, over the 40-50 games he's projected to play barring injury to Martin it probably won't mean much, but whatever.
-
The only good thing about Salty is that Gibbons wont DH him and bat him clean up. Other than that, he's no different than Navarro. Hope it's cheap.
-
Jays are close to signing Salty. White Navarro. Shi Davidi @ShiDavidi #BlueJays and C Jarrod Saltalamacchia nearing an agreement, per source:
-
Or he can sign with one of many teams that will probably give him the player option he wants and have security in case he sucks. A mutual option is not security in case of failure because the team will decline it in that scenario.
-
I'm not comfortable until Navarro signs somewhere else. I'm dreading his return. Thole was a non factor.
-
Read up on Shapiro's view on players options. Holland's not signing a mutual option, especially when he likely has a bunch of suitors.
-
Holland wants an opt out after 1 year, so that probably rules him out for the Jays. I'd definitely prioritize him over a back up catcher or loogy, though.
-
Oh man, those back-up CA options are awful. Just go with AJ or Graterol and save the money.
-
I like Pearce playing everyday at first. He's already above average there, and it might keep him healthier. Trading Smoak for a LF that another team hates would be a good move but other than Bruce (who sucks on defence), can't think of a logical fit.
-
Travis a non prospect, Zach Stewart a future front of the rotation starter, etc, etc. If Law says something about a prospect, expect the opposite to happen.
-
Edwin is 34, Fowler is 31, Cutch is 30, etc. This team wasn't going to get younger, not with free agency or (realistic) trade targets. Develop some prospects, and the age will go down naturally.
-
Damn. Law is always wrong. Now I'm worried.
-
Bautista with a projected 130 wRC+. I could live with that.
-
Upton does everything better than Carrera. If those two are the LF tandem, then start Upton and use Zeke as the 4th OF.
-
If Pompey comes out strong in spring training, then Carrera can easily be pushed aside. That's really the only benefit I can see to this. I'm sure the front office would love if a young player wins a spot (like Sanchez last year). I'm not sure what to expect out of Pompey in 2017 or going forward but I'd take him over Zeke in a second.
-
Ugh. So I guess Carrera gets the bulk of the AB's against RHP to start the season, he completely craps the bed, and then is replaced/demoted in May. 2016 Colabello minus the PED's: where everyone knows the regression is coming but no one does anything about it. Have to hope Pompey wins the LF job.
-
Agreed. Back-up catchers usually suck. Thole was able to suck worse than suck itself so he's really an outlier. Jimenez could probably provide what most back-ups would for the league minimum. A scrub catcher and Blevins/Wood/whoever over Jimenez and Loup probably won't make any tangible difference. Maybe half a win better? But then you compare Carrera to someone like Moss or Pagan, and it's a real opportunity to add to the team's projected win total.

A sad day for baseball, a time to share our memories...

Remarkable to look back and realize that the Jays traded Mike Napoli (when he was still a catcher), Carlos Perez, Yan Gomes, and Travis d'Arnaud during the time that JPA was starting catcher. They put a lot of faith in him and it did not pay off even a little bit. -
Yes.
-
The options in this deal were designed to impress the people who post comments on Sportsnet.ca (in other words people with an IQ in the negatives). I can't imagine either Bautista's camp or the Jays working these options out while holding a straight face. They should have added a 2020 option which get triggered if Bautista hits 300 home runs from 2017-19, just for shits and giggles.
-
Optics.
-
Any scenario where Bautista picks up the option, the Jays will decline it. And vice versa. It's a one year deal.
-
How expensive is Moss going to be? Wouldn't mind Pagan either, but Moss is younger and should be a better defensive player in the outfield. Get him for 1/5, trade Carrera to save a mil, and good to go.
-
Well, one of those OF's is awful defensively and 36 years old, the other is a replacement level player who is likely to regress (Carrera), and the other is a platoon 4th OF (Upton). I mean, Jimenez isn't good or anything, but at least his position is usually occupied by a s***** player. The outfield definitely should be a higher priority.
