    Yeah, f*** the 5th starter debate. The Jays need Tulo.

    Yeah I don't think Floyd cares about an innings limit. Either he will pitch the whole season or he'll get hurt. One more major injury and his career's probably done anyway, and he's gotten hurt pitching far less in the last three years, so what does he have to lose, really? Just go out there and pitch as best as he can and whatever happens will happen. The team will have to be careful with their younger pitchers because they have more long term value, but Floyd is a different story.

    Yeah seriously, as long as he's healthy, have Saunders lead off, at least against RHP. Pillar leading off and Saunders batting 8th is straight up Ned Yost. Come on, Gibby.

    One more good season as a reliever and then trade him. Given the market for relievers and his age, sell high.
  5. glory
    Osuna doesn't want to start and Sanchez doesn't want to pitch out of the pen. Soon Pillar is going to say he doesn't want to play center.

    Hutchison: actual MLB success as a SP, no one bats an eye that he's starting in AAA. Sanchez: s*** as a SP for five years, yet some people consider it an insult if he starts in AAA. Craziness. Let both start in AAA and call them up when a need arises. Make that Straily trade already, too.

    That's why I'm not overly concerned about Pillar hitting lead off, even though it is a really stupid decision. If Pillar has 2 bad weeks, and Saunders (as an example) is scorching hot to start the year, I could see him making that swap by mid-April. On the flip side, if KP starts the season blazing, then all bets are off.

    My only solace to this news is that the last two managers to represent the AL in the World Series have been John Farrell and Ned Yost. Maybe there's a hidden advantage to having incompetence in the managerial spot. The 2016 roster is pretty much dummy proof, and he still found a way to do one really stupid thing already (Pillar leading off). At least I would hope his bullpen usage, which was atrocious last season, will be a lot more efficient with Osuna/Cecil/Storen at the end of the games. I mean, that's hard to f*** up, right?

    Osuna doesn't want to start this season and doesn't have enough innings to do it anyway. My guess is when Storen and Cecil leave next season that Osuna will just be kept as closer.

    Rotation: Stroman, Dickey, Happ, Estrada, Floyd Pen: Storen, Cecil, Osuna, Chavez, Straily, Biagini, Loup (or whichever lefty takes his spot) Expose to waivers: Delabar, Leon Keep in AAA or lose: Choate It's doable. BUt yeah, in that case, you have to either put Sanchez in the pen as a full-time reliever (while losing Biagini) or in AAA as a starter.

    Looks like he's out of options and is on the bubble as far making the Astros roster based on some articles. Makes sense that theywould be looking to move him in that case as I can't see him passing through waivers. Getting him for Jimenez would be a good deal for the Jays if it were to happen.
  13. glory
    Interesting.
  14. glory
    "I'll go down..." Maybe he's already been told that the minors are an alternative if he doesn't win a rotation spot.
  15. glory
    Shapiro is awesome. I don't mind Sanchez in AAA on a long shot that he develops something reasonably close to a swing and miss pitch, but if the goal is to make the 2016 team as good as possible, then he should be in the pen. Then if a need arises mid season you can put him in the rotation in that scenario (although he should be behind Floyd, Chavez, and Hutch on the depth chart).
  16. glory
    AJ Jimenez is being showcased for the Astros today according to some Houston writer on Twitter. Wonder if they have another JD Martinez they don't appreciate.
  17. glory
    Not as long as Gibby is managing. He loves him some Cola. With Edwin's timetable messed up, they might be playing both to start out with, though.
  18. glory
    He will start in the pen and then move to the rotation mid season when Floyd's arm explodes or needs arise, is my best guess.
  19. glory
    I think Ceciliani has a better 4th OF skill set. Looks like a good defensive player and base runner. Only issue is there won't be anyone to platoon with Saunders, but if they intend on playing Saunders everyday then it's irrelevant. Only thing holding Ceciliani back is options. He has options, while Lake/Carrera don't. We will see if that plays into their decision making.

    I wonder if Buck's thoughts in written form sound just as drunk and incoherent as his words. That might be the only reason to buy the book, to test that theory. Or to use as a coaster, whatever's less painful.

    The Jays got a bargain on JB/EE's primes, and now they are expected to give them market value for their declines. Isn't this the perfect time to cut bait? Try to win a WS with them in '16, and then whatever happens, thank JB/EE for their time, and move on after the season. Worst case the team is out of it at the deadline and maybe the players are more willing to waive 10/5 rights (especially since it removes draft compensation for them). There is no downside to waiting. An extension makes no sense for the team right now.
  22. glory
    He got that by eating 7 meals a day and increasing protein, bro.
  23. glory
    Floyd will be the 5th starter and Sanchez will be in the pen. That's my best case as I have heard nothing about sending Sanchez down, and it doesn't make sense to have Floyd and Chavez both in the pen. You want to win in 2016 without demoting Sanchez? Then he's in the bullpen.
  24. glory
    Need to hear that interview. There hasn't been a peep about Sanchez starting the year in Buffalo, so I don't know if that's an option they are discussing.
  25. glory
    I said before it wouldn't shock me if Edwin tests the market, sees that he's not getting the ridiculous numbers others are, and comes back to the Jays at a reasonable price. He seems sincere when he says he wants to come back, and I think if the Jays offer is relatively close to the highest bidder, he'll come back. Boston may need the DH spot for one of their existing vets, and if the NL doesn't have a DH by next season, then Edwin's options won't be as big for a player of his calibre. Wait until next off-season to see what happens with EE. For Bautista, I wouldn't mind a shorter term deal that is Cespedes-like, but it would have to be on a higher payroll. Even $30m/AAV on a $150m payroll is pushing it considering DOnaldson, Tulo, Martin, Happ, and Estrada will be combining for a shade under $85m next season. The payroll would have to be way higher, around $175-180m.
