    Happ, Estrada, Biagini, Barney, Grilli, and Floyd were all good moves. If Chavez was a starter I think that move would look better than it does. Only real bad moves were Storen and Morales, and I guess now Smoak but that's probably more questionable than it is bad.

    Yep, Gibby will play him everyday at 1B the moment he gets back. Ugh. I'd rather have Lake platoon with Smoak than Mushroom. Lake's OF defense looks like Pillar's compared to Mushroom, and Lake's terrible.

    Dickey with a replacement level or better catcher is fine. With Thole, it's probably worse than the Smoak deal, and I don't like the Smoak deal at all.

    Is the team good? Yes. Good enough to win the division over similarly talented teams (Boston) or a team that seems to win 90+ games every other year regardless of talent level (Baltimore)? That's the main issue. Last year the East looked pretty winnable. Now the Jays legitimately have to be good just to stay within striking distance. I just hope they are either in a good spot or far enough out of it where they can trade vets by the deadline. The latter seems unlikely, but good god, I want to avoid the 83-79 area like this team has always seemed to be in. It's no fun.

    You mean the guy who promoted 20-year old's from A+ to the Majors rather than letting them develop and went for broke in July when the team was .500 had no long-term intentions in mind? Crazy. I agree, AA was gone the moment Shapiro came on board, and probably before that as well. He knew it, Shapiro knew it, and everyone else did. Giving him credit for anything that happened after he left is ridiculous.

    Nice, bring in a reliever who has given up nothing but hard contact all season into a game with a runner on base and no outs. What could go wrong?
  7. glory
    Thole has made over $5m since 2013. All because of Dickey. If Dickey does treat him like a slave, it would be justified.
  8. glory
    As far as Smoak, not a fan of this one. Could have waited until the off season, I'm sure an option as good as Smoak (or Smoak himself) would have been out there for similar dollars.
  9. glory
    Lol, that's ridiculous.

    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.
  11. glory
    Chavez should stay in the game having only thrown 13 pitches, but I'd be surprised if Gibby had that foresight.
  12. glory
    Gibbons values W/L record. Don't take Stroman out while he could still get a win. Redneck Gaston is never going to change.
  13. glory
    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.
  14. glory
    I don't know what's more unrealistic: Dickey declining the QO or a team giving up a pick to sign him.
  15. glory
    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.
  16. glory
    Good god, no. He's a perfectly average pitcher who can throw 200 innings, and that's fine, but no. Just no.
  17. glory
    Steve Pearce makes the most sense to go after.
  18. glory
    Yep. Shapkins won't be trading any prospects. Well, any real prospects. I'd expect moves in the same vein as the Grilli trade.
  19. glory
    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.
  20. glory
    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.
  21. glory
    SRF looking good.
  22. glory
    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.
  23. glory
    Walker is probably fuming at all the K's by Happ.
  24. glory
    Call up Papa Buehrle and see where his head (and arm) is at. Miss that guy.
  25. glory
    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.
