    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.

    AA has been after Beckham for years. He will be the new 2B (until Travis is ready), unfortunately.
  3. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  9. glory
    Alex using Fangraphs as his official website. Martin and Donaldson in a one week span. Alex, you have redeemed yourself.

    One of the few times the turf actually helps the Jays.

    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.

    Bruce has Toronto on his no trade list. Good. Move on to Saunders now.

    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.
  14. glory
    Saunders would be better and cheaper to get, IMO.

    Lester is a clubhouse cancer for not wanting to eat a slice of pizza with Ramirez. Not the type of guy that winning teams need. /Howarth logic
  16. glory
    Yep. It's all about adding wins/value wherever they can. Martin over Navarro is a good start. Someone like Headley (who I think will sign with the Giants now but whatever) would be a 3 win improvement over Izturis/Goins. Liriano would be a one win improvement over Happ, and so on. You start to increase value throughout the lineup and it will add up. As long as AA does not start trading prospects for veterans then the chance of filling holes internally with young high upside talent will still be there even if they go for it.
  17. glory
    Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Sanchez, but his value should be higher than Bruce's.
  18. glory
    Agreed. Martin is a very good player and was a very sensible signing, but he was never the missing piece. More work needs to be done, regardless of what else Boston does. No need to make any panic type moves. Just keep adding good/great players where possible. Can't control what other teams do.
  19. glory
    Now they give up the farm for Hamels most likely.
  20. glory
    Yep, it's time to get Lester and trade for Saunders.
  21. glory
    Trade Reyes and a prospect for Matt Kemp and then add a real SS. Hanley's value had to go down because of his defense, that's all I can think of. That's a very good deal for such a good hitter. If SS's who can't play defense are declining in value that much, dump Reyes where you can. Come on Friedman, do us a favor.
  22. glory
    Why trade Lind if you're going to trade for Jaso? I guess he can back-up Martin as well as DH, but he's not a good defensive catcher and his skill is exactly the same as the guy you traded a month ago. They can hopefully do better.
  23. glory
    If the Red Sox are signing Hanley to play SS and Panda to play 3B, then I'm not sure what they are doing.
  24. glory
    I will never forget Law saying that Zach Stewart had a front of the rotation upside when most people knew he was destined for the pen even when he was a top prospect (and he even failed at that). If Law says something about a prospect, I usually expect the opposite. When he called Devon Travis a non-prospect, I was thrilled.
  25. glory
    Whether the suspension was justified or not, Keith Law is a douche.
