    Lol come on. If you were so obsessed with Stroman I wouldn't say s***. I just find it funny you have made it your life mission to go on and on and on and on about him.
  2. burlingtonbandit
    why the f*** do we care what Jon Morosi thinks?

    I don't see what you don't get. If you sign a player to a 5 year contract and its worth 20 million per year with an opt out after 2 years. If he puts up 10 WAR the first 2 years its not a good thing he opts out because the production you lose is worth more than the 3 years and 60 million left on the contract. Also if you sign a similar contract and the player is horrible say Pablo Sandoval for example. Well then you just wasted 100 million because he isn't opting out.

    Lets compare Sale to Pedro Martinez while we're at it if we are making useless comparisons.

    Breaking ball command hasn't been much better. To me thats the difference when he's on.
  6. burlingtonbandit
    Defense needs to be better.
  7. burlingtonbandit
    An upgrade over Junior Lake would be nice.

    Your obsession with Stroman and the 2 seamer is the only reason I even post about it.
  9. burlingtonbandit
    Thanos is going to have a stroke. Every pitch was a 2 seamer down in the zone.

    He threw only 20 sinkers last start. Please expand on this joint confusion concept? And without using Pat Tabler since he is one of the worst analysts in baseball.
  11. burlingtonbandit
    I bet Derozan would be pretty good in GS system. Don't think they could handle him and Curry both being on the floor defensively though.
  12. burlingtonbandit
    Espada's start was pretty bad. Didn't strike out a batter.
  13. burlingtonbandit
    Looking to get into the first round of the draft, preferably the top half. Have a few players I'd consider trading Smith, Okposo, Shaw and Vanek.

    Speaking of ownership if they raise the payroll into the 175 range I think management would look into signing 1 of the 2 more seriously. Jays are selling out weekday games and TV ratings are close to 1 million/night. Rogers is cashing in like crazy.
  15. burlingtonbandit
    At his age that would be a pretty big gamble. If he *did* do something like that it would surely be only for 1 year, not 2.

    Ross Atkins says Stroman has done everything they have told him. How is that being stubborn if he's doing what the FO and coaching staff wants? All players have egos anyways if that is more what you are getting at. Donaldson and Bautista have 2 of the biggest egos in the sport and thats part of what make them so successful.
  17. burlingtonbandit
    He has if you were paying attention...
  18. burlingtonbandit
    They explored signing him long term last offseason and didn't. His value has really only gone up since then so I don't expect them to all of a sudden chance their minds and sign him to a 6-8 year deal. From the player's point of view unless they are going to shell out market value there isn't much reason to sign a long term deal either. He's already received life changing money and will be 2 years from FA.

    Doesn't say they feel comfortable about signing Saunders at all. The context is for trading Bautista this year and he's saying that because of Saunders breakout they could handle trading Bautista and still compete for the division (I don't personally agree with what he's saying). Plus Sherman really has no better idea about the Blue Jays plans than anyone else.
  20. burlingtonbandit
    Depends what the wind is like. If its like today I'd rather have the 2015 Stroman.
  21. burlingtonbandit
    lol that wind was ridicuous. Pop flys to LF were leaving the yard. Glad the Jays pulled it out.
  22. burlingtonbandit
    He must have a torn rotator cuff or something. You don't just lost 10 MPH on your throws in a year.
  23. burlingtonbandit
    The mouthpieces are for strength. Bautista and a bunch of Jays players use them. Cecil uses one to get more velocity. When your teeth is clenched you can get a little more strength.
  24. burlingtonbandit
    Storen sitting 93 touching 94 with a 83 MPH slider on back to back days is nice to see.
  25. burlingtonbandit
    Thole better give good signs here. So easy to tell what sign he puts down with a guy on 2nd.
