I'm down for Pompey in LF. Carrera has done a solid job as a depth option, but Pompey has the defense and upside the Jays need in the second half, and Colabello has done about as much as he's ever going to do offensively (no where to go but down).

Jays Claim 1B/OF Chris Colabello of Waivers
glory replied to SantosLHalper21's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He has power, draws walks, and play defense at first. It's ok if you are not in love with him as a player, but he shouldn't be benched for Fatty and Colabellol. He is a better option than both of them, and still has enough upside to possibly be more than he's shown. -
I wonder how long before people realize Navarro is not being showcased, and even if he was, do you know how ridiculous that would be? "Let me play a s***** back-up catcher over far better player so I can get a middle reliever in return for him in a trade in case a team has a catching need in a month". Teams that showcase replacement level players do not deserve to be in positions of management.

Am I the only one who expects Norris, Boyd, Castro, and a returning Sanchez to be the only pitching help the Jays get this summer?
-
Gibbons likes Navarro and Goins. Even at the expense of the team.
-
Navarro gets a rest day. He will be back and ready for Thursday's game.
-
Smoak: 0.5 WAR Colabello: 0.4 WAR Navarro: -0.1 WAR Gibbons playing his best players, as always.
-
Yep. It's amazing how getting rid of Dickey and Navarro would probably improve the team (Norris or Doubront > 2015 Dickey, and without Navarro on the team Gibby might actually play the back-up catcher seldomly like a normal manager would).
-
Valencia and Navarro should not have hit in the 9th. Pillar I could live with since he's on a hot streak, but Valencia can't hit righties and Navarro can't hit period.
-
Because I can.
-
The Jays aren't going to win. I know this because Baltimore and Tampa are losing, and gaining ground on the rest of the teams in the East is not something we like to do.
-
I remember last season in a game against Boston, Stroman had a no hitter going into I think the 7th inning and I was so relieved he gave up a hit because lord knows how high his pitch count would have gone if he didn't. Poor Marco Estrada wasn't given the same luck. He threw 250 pitches in two starts unnecessarily in an attempt to accomplish something that ultimately would have been meaningless even if he achieved it. Now we have to suffer through the "post 130 pitches" meltdown.
-
Guys, Navarro is not being showcased. He's a back-up catcher that the manager and GM both like way too much, and this is what we will have to live with the rest of the season.

Bowden: Jays Early Front Runners for Jeff Samardzija
glory replied to SantosLHalper21's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Wiping your ass with Bowden's opinion would be an insult to your ass. Bowden is trash. -
Is Gray arbitration eligible after this season? If so, Beane might move him. Just because.
-
I could see AA doing Norris, Pentecost, and filler for Hamels. Fits right in with the Marlins deal.
-
Never. As long as Gibbons is wobbling around the Jays dugout, this thread shall live on.

Jays Claim 1B/OF Chris Colabello of Waivers
glory replied to SantosLHalper21's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Smoak is a better long-term piece than Colabello. Don't let a hot streak fool you. -
If you play inferior players then your chances of success drops. Maybe not in a single game but definitely over the course of a season. Gibbons routinely does this. Wanting a manager that knows who his best players are is not much to ask for.
-
Dickey/Greaseball was the one game I felt uneasy about in this series. Jays should aim for the next 2/3 (obviously 3/3 would be better but trying to be realistic).
-
Well, he did bench Rasmus last September for no real on-field reason.
-
Is it realistic at all to acquire pitching at the deadline while shipping Dickey to a 3rd team for salary relief? Boyd and Norris are better than Dickey already.
-
Goins in LF. Boxcar approves.
-
Hamels to the Jays for DJ Davis, Aaron Sanchez, and Matt Smoral. Sabermetrics, by Ruben Amaro.
-
My hypothetical for Reddick was if they traded Edwin for Strasburg, so including a young pitching prospect for a very good hitter to replace EE in that scenario would be fine with me. Not a fan of trading for Reddick with the team's current needs, though.
