  1. Hope he has a monster 2016 and then best of luck to him wherever he goes. I've said before, the Jays got his best years at a bargain. He doesn't owe them anything, and the team doesn't owe him anything. Someone else can pay big money for his decline. I just wish he kept his mouth shut and didn't make this a story in spring training.
  2. I see it the same way BTS does. Two straight years in the pen, after a career high 45-ish innings in the minors? He'll need at least a year just to stretch out, never mind actually contribute in any meaningful way as a starter. I guess it's possible he can go from 80 innings to 160, or until his arm explodes, but that type of transition is not easy, and it becomes more difficult the longer he's a reliever. Wouldn't shock me at all if he never starts a game for the Jays. Only way I see it working is if he struggles as a reliever this season and is sent down to stretch out.
  3. Floyd's lines look solid but hard to know what types of outs he was getting. Still, a healthy Floyd (if that even exists) is an interesting #5 option.
  4. Come on Floyd. Win that rotation spot. Would be a cool story if he did. And yes, bat Tulo lead off.
  5. I think Biagini will make the team. Leon is out of options. Considering they traded for him knowing he was out of options, maybe they give him a real shot to make it. Sanchez isn't needed in the pen.
  6. I want Biagini to pan out. Rule 5 picks turning into assets are always nice.
  7. If Saunders is healthy and starts in LF, then I think Lake probably gets the 4th OF spot for platoon reasons. Not like Zeke's defense in CF is any good either.
  8. Yep. it's not about talent with him, it's about his health. Let's see how his knee holds up.
  9. I think Pompey is a good prospect as well. That doesn't mean signing Jackson isn't a good idea. Do you really want to start the season with Pompey in LF and Carrera/Brown as the back-ups? That was basically the alignment last season, which lead to Colabello, Valencia, and Carrera playing LF until they traded for Revere. You still need depth.
  10. Smoak > Colabello in 2016. This isn't the bold prediction thread (if this even counts as one) but I'll go ahead and say it. Gibbons is going to start Colabello so it's a moot point but I think Smoak has at least one good season in his bat.
  11. Man I hope they give Smoak everyday AB's. His ISO was great last season and someone with that type of power plus a walk rate near 10% has potential. Of course if he still looks like crap with the off speed stuff then nothing will change.
  12. Chavez #5, Floyd long man, Sanchez and Hutch in Buffalo.
  13. Man, Floyd staying healthy and winning a rotation spot would be awesome. I don't expect it, but a nice thought.
  14. Bautista making life easier for Shapiro, if anything.
  15. Yeah, I'd wait until the end of the season. Unless the NL getting the DH happens in 2017, the number of teams needing a DH and willing to spend that much for one will probably be limited. I could see him testing the market next winter and ultimately coming back to the Jays anyway, ala Alex Gordon with the Royals. Regardless, I get the feeling Edwin really wants to come back. Maybe he'll work something out that is mutually beneficial.
  16. Devon White batted lead off when the Jays won the World Series. Good athlete with great defense and low OBP. It works. / Buck Martinez
  17. It was a GM on the last year of his contract who just didn't give a f*** anymore. More or less.
  18. I think the FO wants Pompey to start in AAA (evidenced by tendering Saunders and almost trading for Bruce). It's just that Saunders is such a health risk that Pompey might have to start in LF out of necessity. Claiming how he plays in spring training will determine his fate is just window dressing.
  19. Yeah, Osuna was not ready for a SP workload after spending all of 2015 in relief, so it's logical to use him in the pen in a playoff calibre season. On the bright side, it would be pretty darn unlikely for Gibbons to f*** up the pen usage this year. Just use those three backend relievers the same way the Royals use theirs.
  20. Don't know if this was posted already, but Osuna does not want to start in 2016: "I told [management] I won't start this year, maybe next one," Osuna said. "I don't think I'm ready 100 percent to be a starter yet because I don't want to worry about my Tommy John, to put my elbow in a risk again. I prefer to be a reliever for at least one more year, throw more innings, like probably 75, 80 innings in the regular season, and then see what happens for next year."
  21. s***'s getting real now.
  22. Osuna struggles as a reliever, gets sent down in May, and is stretched out as a SP for the rest of the season.
  23. Sounds like Tulo doesn't want to be traded again either, and now he has a NTC. Not that they should trade him right now, but it could be an issue some time in the next five years.
  24. Atkins was gushing over the fact that they were able to get Biagini so they must see something in him. Will be interesting to see if he can make the team.
