shortstop

not sure I understand this other than they all see the writing on the wall (Gibbons will be gone within 2 years and might as well make extra $'s) and front office doesn't want to be faced with a situation of jays winning & having to terminate/not renew Gibby to avoid the rollover...now, worst case, front office can just let the contract expire... subtle difference (active step vs no step required) but could be the viewpoint Atkins/Shapiro had in mind...easier from a media relations standpoint to let the contract expire worst case... any case, it's a win for both sides if the above is true

Here's hoping Rogers will take action soon if this keeps up - I'd can both gibby & AA together

winning will likely dictate what happens here. My guesses: a) could easily see the jays >10 games below .500 at which point serious thought must go into Gibby/AA getting the axe & the new GM trading at least one or both of Bautista/Edwin. On my end, would prefer Bautista gone as well as perhaps Buerhle, Dickey and Navarro jays stay around +/- 5 games of .500 in which case we get the team going for it. No idea which way Rogers will go with AA. c) jays +5 games above .500, they're legitimately competing for a playoff spot come August/September and they've earned the right to stay together as a group - likely heading into next year as well. AA keeps his job. baseball is funny - I think (a) is gonna happen but odds are ( will happen. Want (a) or © to happen so at least there's a definitive sense of direction vs. being lost in no man's land with (.

jays should consider moving Travis up in the lineup when Reyes comes back

Castro seemed nervous - good experiene for him

Dickey did a quick smile at that framing job.

haha, Martin did frame that amazingly well...it was a ball however but def made it look like a strike Smoak - he's got potential - everyone says that - we'll see if he figures it out - but do like him at first for sure for his defence

Travis with a solid approach at the plate

gonna love watching Martin back there everyday

I'm sure there's a basic answer to this - why did the league schedule a day off Tuesday? I've seen this in previous season(s) as well.

Gibbons will run through a wall for AA for giving him this opportunity. And Gibby is AA's guy b/c he'll do what he wants.

didn't expect this & if based solely on performance, then I was def wrong in thinking he'd be back in the bullpen this year performing well.

Stewart will Prob get a lot of flack if they're losing & the catching situation is a black hole Interesting to see how this plays out

Mlb trade rumours - apparently D-Backs been following Navarro past week...

problem is, assuming Itzuris can play, what to do with him? can't see AA wasting $3M but which is what he perhaps should be doing.
