    Shields will sign for five years. He's the guy to go after if you want to overpay a free agent starter. Otherwise, a cheaper risk on a guy like McCarthy or Liriano isn't a bad option.

    I don't trust Sanchez yet and I don't think the Jays can afford to trust him in the rotation to start the season. It doesn't have to be Lester, but getting another starter would be very helpful. I would say 2B, starter, and bullpen in that order would be the needs. I think there is a lot of potential value in free agency for relievers so I'm not too worried about that spot.

    When did AA turn into a WAR obsessed geek? I love it.
  4. glory
    Good signing. I wonder why he couldn't negotiate a deal with Estrada in the same way.

    I'm guessing Valencia is back-up 3B/1B and platoon partner for whichever 1B/DH option the Jays get (assuming that player hits from the left side). Pillar is likely the fourth OF now. Just need a back-up IF that can play SS and we have all the positions covered on the bench.
  6. glory
    Yep, either Melky is coming back or AA has something else lined up. They pretty much lost all their LF and 1B options with this non tender (assuming Edwin is at DH).
  7. glory
    Something must be up in trade or free agency.
  8. glory
    Dirks, Smoak, and Mayberry non-tendered.
  9. glory
    He was benched in favor of Kevin Pillar in the final month of the season before hitting free agency. He's not going to come back.
  10. glory
    Lawrie, Rasmus, and JPA (last season) off this team is a long time coming.
  11. glory
    Everth would be better than Izturis, Goins, Beckham, and Callapso, though. That's something.
  12. glory
    Yeah, if the Jays get Fowler it will be to play LF. I doubt anyone is moving Pompey out of starting CF except maybe Pillar, but that's unlikely too. I don't think they want Pompey in the minors.
  13. glory
    AA has been after Beckham for years. He will be the new 2B (until Travis is ready), unfortunately.
  14. glory
    They are paying Izturis $4M next season. Unless they get a clear upgrade, just go with Izturis/Goins until Travis is ready.

    I hope someone asks Donaldson how he feels about adultery and/or swinging. Maybe he can set he record straight.
  16. glory
    The A's board had this issue a lot. All the Donaldson related threads turned into sex and swinging discussions. He just has that effect on fans.
  17. glory
    Yeah don't get a DH. Just rotate the main guys in that spot (Bautista, Donaldson, EE, Reyes, and Martin). I'd try to get a guy like Sean Rodriguez on the bench to make it easier to DH guys while having a suitable bench player to play the field.
  18. glory
    Agreed. All four of the players given up could have good MLB careers and I wouldn't care as long as Donaldson was elite in Toronto and the Jays had some playoff appearances (best case a title) in that time. There isn't anything remotely significant about Lawrie failing in Oakland. If he did, so what? If he succeeds over there, so what? The trade from the Jays perspective is about how Donaldson does. If he delivers as he has the last two seasons, then the Jays will be happy regardless.

    I still can't believe Alex pulled this off. He's had an amazing off-season so far.
  20. glory
    Alex using Fangraphs as his official website. Martin and Donaldson in a one week span. Alex, you have redeemed yourself.
  21. glory
    One of the few times the turf actually helps the Jays.
  22. glory
    Rodriguez would be a great pick-up. Versatile, can play nearly every position, and hits decent enough for a utility player. The Jays bench has been terrible for years. With Rodriguez, Pillar, one of Valencia/Mayberry, and Thole (ugh), we'd have a pretty decent bench for a change.
  23. glory
    Bruce has Toronto on his no trade list. Good. Move on to Saunders now.
  24. glory
    Between acquiring Travis and Martin, this has the makings of AA's best off-season if he is finally understanding the concept of value and using free agency as a way to acquire talent. Still a long way to go and he still has plenty of time to mess up, but keeping prospects + making the playoffs should be the goal. So far, so good.
  25. glory
    Saunders would be better and cheaper to get, IMO.
