Really? Damn you learn something new all the time in baseball. Been watching baseball 12 years and I never heard of this!
But why is it against the rules?
What about Chase Utley from the Phils? He plays good defense at 2B and the Phils will most likely be sellers at the deadline. Plus he wouldn't cost too much, prospect wise (I would imagine)
Exactly, at this current rate, the AL East winner (whoever it will be), will probably get destroyed in the NLDS. Jays need a new bat and a new arm before trade dealine, and with Bautista and Lawrie back, they will be hard to beat.
Before the trade deadline, this team needs:
1- A bat to replace Lawrie that could also be helpful against lefties (Could also use this bat off the bench when Lawrie comes back)
2- #1 or 2 starter.
I would love to have Dan Murphy on this team, I wonder what would the Mets want in exchange.
Man, Bautista and Lawrie out of the lineup is really starting to hurt us big time. We dealt with it pretty good in the series vs Yanks but it's catching up to us.
