    Chavez throws 14 pitches in 1.1 innings with 2 K's and he's taken out because the 7th inning is Cecil's inning. Stroman kept in to die because if he got through 5 innings he'd get a win. Once the game got tied, and the chance of a win was no longer there, the pitching change was made. I'm glad this was a West Coast game and I didn't have to watch the whole damn thing. Unless the Jays are blowing teams out, the managing is unbearable to watch. Old school managing needs to go away.

    Chavez should stay in the game having only thrown 13 pitches, but I'd be surprised if Gibby had that foresight.

    Gibbons values W/L record. Don't take Stroman out while he could still get a win. Redneck Gaston is never going to change.

    Pomeranz is good. If he continues pitching like this for the next 2.5 years, the Red Sox got a good deal. Pretty steep price to pay, though. No surprise with Dombrowski. Dude hates prospects as much as AA does.

    I don't know what's more unrealistic: Dickey declining the QO or a team giving up a pick to sign him.

    Backup catchers don't have to be great, but would Thole even be in baseball if it wasn't for Dickey? He's not a very good catcher in general and can't even hit minor league pitching anymore. Dude is done being a MLB quality back up and has been since 2011. Even a replacement level backup catcher would be better than Thole.
  7. glory
    Good god, no. He's a perfectly average pitcher who can throw 200 innings, and that's fine, but no. Just no.

    Steve Pearce makes the most sense to go after.

    Yep. Shapkins won't be trading any prospects. Well, any real prospects. I'd expect moves in the same vein as the Grilli trade.

    Not keeping track, but is Quintana on the team? If not, he should have had priority over Sanchez. But again, other than the Jays players, I have no clue what the team looks like.

    Upton has a 1.5 WAR right now. He's a pretty useful player again. Not sure the Padres have to dump him anymore, but he would be a nice fit for the Jays OF if the Pads picked up a chunk of the tab. I don't think they would though.
  12. glory
    SRF looking good.

    As much as I would like to add someone like Gray, the Jays don't have the prospects to pull it off, nor can they afford to trade prospects at this point. They can upgrade without losing meaningful prospects this trade deadline. They just need a competent outfielder/first baseman and another reliever.

    Walker is probably fuming at all the K's by Happ.
  15. glory
    Call up Papa Buehrle and see where his head (and arm) is at. Miss that guy.

    Gray would be a good pick up but the Jays system is kinda weak at the moment, especially with Alford and Greene having poor seasons so far.
  17. glory
    Well, not someone who comes as borderline free as Grilli did, but someone who won't cost much to acquire because of age or performance that could improve. I don't expect Shapkins to be trading any real prospects, but I hope they target an OF, preferably someone who can cover RF. Smoak is not taking advantage of his playing time at 1B, and Bautista in RF before the toe problem was bad so I don't want to see how bad it is after.

    Who is the Grilli equivalent of an outfielder that might be available? Trade for him, puts Bats at DH/1B, and see what happens.

    Reyes at age 31 had a 3.5 WAR, 104 wRC+, and .287 average (since BA was brought up by the smart poster who called everyone else stupid). The following season he fell off the face of the earth defensively and offensively. Tulo is clearly better than him, especially defensively, but age does not discriminate and Tulo's been average to below average offensively since the start of 2015. Now, if this hot streak is legit and he can carry it over to the 2nd half, then that changes things, but right now, I don't think it's fair to say "he is back". He could be, but hot streaks happen. I'm in the camp that wouldn't mind trading him after this season, but a SS replacement has to be there (not Barney). With CWS's love of vets, maybe Tulo for Anderson is possible.
  20. glory
    BBref says Barney has one more year of arb after this one, so I think he's still under team control after 2016. Not a game changer or anything, but as a utility infielder, he's a good guy to have around.

    The team Shapiro left and the team Shapiro is on. Sportsnet comments section in shambles.
  22. glory
    Thole would be working at Wal-Mart if it wasn't for Dickey.
  23. glory
    Still pissed the Jays couldn't win this match-up in Game 4.

    Get Trevor May. Keep him in the pen the rest of the year and then stretch him out next spring. The Twins are like Pete Walker, they love dat "pitch 2 contact" philosophy, and May is not that type of pitcher. Buy low.
