    If Blair is the only one reporting it, then the sources that told him about it are likely the voices in his head. Toronto media doesn't scoop anyone. They just Retweet Rosenthal and others.

    AA gained a lot of faith by acquiring Martin, Donaldson, Saunders, and Travis, but the fact that he still has a $5M back-up catcher when he can't even afford to sign relievers to minor league deals is ridiculous. Trade Navarro for a 29-year old non-prospect in A-ball. Who cares. Spend the $5M elsewhere, like the pen or rotation.
  3. glory
    Yes, send Navarro to the Tigers. Make it happen.

    Why is Sanchez ranked ahead of Norris?
  5. glory
    Joel Sherman saying that the Jays haven't spoken to Shields in two weeks. Heyman once again spewing garbage that agents pay him to report.
  6. glory
    Cecil and Loup should be very good, and they seem determined to have Sanchez there, so if he's anything like that season he should be decent over a full season. Then if Estrada makes the rotation like I expect him to, then Redmond is the long man again. Which leaves three spots for high leverage innings between some combination of Delabar, Lopez, Drabek, Rasmussen, Jenkins, Guilmet, West, Perez, Infante, da Silva, etc. It's not going to be a great pen, but I don't think it will be a weakness. The rotation if someone gets hurt is going to be in much bigger trouble.

    Yeah, if I had to guess, I'd say he'll go to San Diego unless the Jays either go much higher on the AAV or add an extra year. I doubt the Jays will do either of those things. I'd do 4/75 for Shields, but I'd be reluctant to go much higher. That's just me talking though. Personally, I don't care how much Rogers spends. Just win over the next two years, and then worry about the consequences later. It's not like Shields on a four year deal will put the Jays in Phillies territory.

    Shields, Dickey, Stroman, Buehrle, Hutchison with Norris and Estada as depth? That's an ideal situation. Trade Navarro for salary relief and give Shields something like 10/20/20/20. He will be hard to trade but not impossible. Trade him after year two when you have to re-sign Bautista and Edwin, but take advantage of the opportunity to win over the next two years at least.

    If it was Kenny reporting it, then I might believe it, but Heyman is a s*** peddler. Only leaks things for agents. Shields would be the best of both world's: win now and keep all prospects. Basically what they should have done in 2013. I'll believe it when I see it. Regardless, do a Miami Marlins deal here. First year salary is $5-10M, then trade him to San Diego a year later during his heavily backloaded years.
  10. glory
    There is an off day after the first game. Starting Dickey in game 1 wouldnt take full advantage of that Dickey Effect. I'd go with Stroman or Hutchison, with the other starting the 3rd game.
  11. glory
    Yep. My ideal scenario is Sanchez and Norris both starting in AAA with Estrada as the #5 starter and Redmond as the long man, but they seem to want Sanchez in the Majors no matter what.
  12. glory
    I agree but it seems pretty unlikely that Sanchez starts the year in the rotation when they didn't sign a single reliever to an MLB deal. I actually hope for the sake of the SP depth that Sanchez starts but I don't think he will. I think they've lined everything up purposely so that Sanchez could close.
  13. glory
    What's the point of stretching Sanchez out in ST if they're going to use him in the pen? We all know he's going to the pen, as much as they try to say they view him as a starter.
  14. glory
    Hutchison threw 185 innings in his first full season back from Tommy John Surgery (most teams cap innings at 140-150 in those instances). Verducci seems to think Stroman and Norris are injury risks due to having an excessive increased workload from the year before, and while stuff like that needs to be taken on a case by case basis, it's still worth keeping an eye on. Maybe those guys keep pitching well, and I hope they do, but you can't bank on it. Adding a Shields type or hell just adding depth in general would have been nice for the event that you do have to deal with injuries. Last season was abnormally healthy for the Jays staff. With DIckey and Buehrle that can be expected, but the more youth you count on, the more risk is involved. That's why, despite my feelings on Sanchez (he's not a starter long-term, IMO), I think the Jays should put him and Norris in AAA, Estrada as the #5, and Redmond as the long man. That way you have both Norris and Sanchez stretched out in case of need, and then the team is 7-deep with some intriguing arms in Double-A that might get promoted quickly (Boyd, Cole, etc).
  15. glory
    SP depth. The rotation has two guys that should throw 200 IP each (Dickey/Buehrle), and one guy who should be able to at least stay healthy (Estrada), but then it's all young pitchers (Stroman, Hutchison, Norris, Sanchez, etc). I'm more worried about injury than I am performance, and if injuries hit, forget it. Depth is minimal at best. That's why if there is a glimmer of hope to sign Shields to a 3 year deal, then do it.
  16. glory
    If Shields is dropping to 3-4 years, then do it. Might look like an overpay in years 3 and 4, but even Buehrle's heavily backloaded deal turned out to be decent value so you never know. If it goes down to 3 years, then I'd even do 3/60. The years are more important than the AAV. Just trim some fat by trading Navarro, Estrada, etc. No way I do five years though, and I'd be nervous with four (would still do it if reasonable though, like 4/60). Three is a no brainer.
  17. glory
    I think Sanchez will be in the pen and Estrada will be the 5th starter. AA clearly has no money left to spend, and that's the most effective way to use the roster he has created. Sanchez as a starter, unless it's in AAA, will be a bust, and I think AA knows that.
  18. glory
    I'm sure Rogers is going to give $80M to a guy they want to replace (AA) so he can sign Shields.
  19. glory
    Possibly. I remember reading that Beane wanted Syndergaard (+ others) for Gio, and AA refused, but maybe I'm mixing that up with something else. I guess Gio was possible, while Latos may have required more going to the Padres since it was too early in Syndergaard's career.
  20. glory
    They made moves to win over a 3-5 year period. How do you expect people to judge these trades? A bad trade is a bad trade but one that helps an overall goal is better than nothing. Cone for Kent is one of the worst trades ever, we just don't harp on it because it accomplished the desired result.
  21. glory
    If the Jays make the playoffs and/or win a World Series with Dickey in the rotation, then the three players we gave up could be HOF'ers and I'd get over it. You have 1 (maybe 2) more years, R.A. Don't let us down. Edit: but the trade itself was bad. No question. That package the year before could have gotten Latos or Gio, possibly.
  22. glory
    As a reliever.... AAA: 3.16 ERA, 31.1 IP, 34 H, 9 BB, 22 K, 1 HR MLB: 0.00 ERA, 3.0 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 5 K, 0 HR (1.80 FIP) Give him a chance. He is out of options and has four years of control left. A lot of failed starters improve their command and become solid relievers out of the bullpen. It's not like the Jays don't have the openings to give him a look. I still have hope. He's done as a starter, though. One inning reliever, max.
  23. glory
    I am sensing Dustin McGowan on a minor league deal is going to happen soon.
  24. glory
    Rogers realized he would cost $1.7M if he made the team and pulled the plug. Wait unil they find out Santiago's salary if he makes the team.
  25. glory
    People still value Law's opinion on prospects? The guy knows s***. Still waiting for Zach Stewart to become the four pitch ace that he was projecting.
