    What a signing Barney was. He won't keep hitting like this obviously, but he's exactly the type of role player good teams have.

    Shields can opt out after 2016 (and the SP market in free agency sucks this winter so there's a chance he will). Even if he doesn't opt out, he's a much shorter contract and likely far more tradable. Plus, Preller wasn't as derpy this past winter as he was two winters ago. I honestly can't think of one team who'd trade assets and take back Tulo at 4/80 for his age 32-35 seasons. We'll have to find the equivalent of Reyes and take that contract back, most likely. A part II of a Vernon Wells trade would be great, though.

    I mentioned Kemp as a comparable bad contract. I don't want that to happen, nor do I expect Shapkins to even consider it. My point was, Tulo has an awful contract and has little to no value. I don't care how much bigger MLB contracts get, a SS in his 30's who is injury prone and already declining is not valuable. The Jays would need a miracle (or a stupid GM) to get rid of that contract without taking back an equally bad one and/or getting close to Hoffman/Castro back.

    I wonder how close we are to a Tulo for Matt Kemp trade. Seriously, as bad as that sounds, that's the only contract I could see another team willing to trade in order to take Tulo's deal. Horrible.

    I'm a believer. Sanchez proving me wrong and I love it.
  6. glory
    Either that or trade him for a Ken Giles part II package.

    Man, I was going to say Tulo for Melvin Upton, but he's actually killing it in SD now. The Jays could offer Tulo for Upton in 2016 and the other team would laugh at it. That's where we are right now.

    Had to protect that 4 run lead, or whatever it was, two night's ago.

    Donaldson taking the offence into his own hands. Man, Tulo is bad. And this fool has a NTC. Yuck.
  10. glory
    Holy s*** Saunders.

    Traded the team's best prospect, another good young prospect (Castro), and added $52M in salary. The ninja, indeed.

    Smoak playing everyday and doing well. Thank you, Colabello.
  13. glory
    Even if the Jays are in the race at the deadline, Shapkins should try to get rid of that contract. Tulo doesn't look like he'll age well at all. As long as Dave Stewart is a still a GM, there's always a chance.
  14. glory
    Only 5/100 left on his contract counting this season. These five years will fly by.
  15. glory
    Gibbons hasn't taken care of Stroman or Sanchez's innings at all. I guess he's going by pitch count rather than innings. It will be interesting to see how the org views the difference (pitch counts vs. innings). SInce they are both so GB dependent, they can get deeper into games on lower pitch counts, but that brings the IP totals up.

    Martin's contract would have been fine if his decline started in year 3 or 4. Starting the decline right after year 1, after AA heavily backloaded the deal, is going to make that contract absolutely unmovable.

    Selling off all the impending free agent vets at the deadline is the best course for this team. The worst thing that can happen to this team is to keep everyone and not make the playoffs. They really can't afford to add anyone at the deadline since the farm system is s*** and the actual good prospects shouldn't be traded, so it's either keep this team together and hope for a run, or do the sensible thing and try to avoid more years of misery by adding prospects at the deadline that hopefully can help the team out in 2017-beyond.
  18. glory
    Man, almost every hitter on this team aged like Greg Oden in six months. This offense is straight up trash now.
  19. glory
    Yeah, you're looking at a C level prospect at best for Storen at this rate. i guess just saving a few bucks might be beneficial on its own if someone takes his entire remaining salary.
  20. glory
    I know it's baseball and even bad teams win ~60 games, but man the Jays really should sweep the Twins this weekend. They need it to make up some ground.
  21. glory
    The only man who would ever hire John Gibbons to manage a baseball team this decade is in Los Angeles right now. His time is numbered. It's just a matter of when Shapiro wants to pull the trigger.
  22. glory
    Estrada and Happ look like huge assets right now. If the Jays wanted to trade them, given the free agent market next year and their controllability, they'd probably get a decent return. Not suggesting they trade them, but just emphasizing how good those contracts look now.
  23. glory
    Not many on this board (this forum is by far the best one out there), but everywhere else? It is (or was) very pro-AA. I don't see why his faults can't be brought up, especially when practically every big move he made since 2013, other than Donaldson, has been or will end up being a disaster (see Martin's contract). This team is in the shithole it is because of him. I said at the time, no one in 2017 is going to care about the 2015 playoffs if the team is s*****. 2015 is over. Reality has set in. As far as the trades he made last year being ones "everyone would make", false. The Donaldson trade, absolutely. Tulo, Price, etc? It was conflicted at the time, and probably even moreso now.

    When the guy gets treated as a hero when he leaves despite leaving the new president/GM with an old roster and no farm system, it's fair game. If the hero worship/dick riding didn't exist, then maybe people would go easier on him.

    AA valued Gomes so little as a catcher that he had him playing all over the field (3B?). It was Kevin Cash who was in the Jays org, went to Cleveland after 2012 and suggested to acquire him, if I recall correctly. JPA was AA's future CA despite being a s***** hitter and defensive player. Then, when framing started to become more recognized, AA spent $82M to get a catcher in his 30's to do something Gomes (or d'Arnaud) would have done for the league minimum. Now, one year after signing Martin, framing is no longer undervalued, so Martin's deal looks unmovable and his framing numbers are no longer as impressive. The whole f***ing thing is sad.
