  1. I used to think this as well, however after hearing AA go on the radio and claim that the reason we are not playing in the game tonight is due to the bullpen's ERA, I no longer have any faith in him
  2. You mean the same couple of years that brought this club Encarnacion and Bautista Maybe AA is best served to be an assistant and JPR should have been kept GM
  3. The only two big free agents to sign here were during the JPR era in 5 years AA hasn't signed one, unless you count Melky who was discarded by many teams because of PED abuse. In fact AA had the opportunity to sign Darvish and didn't but instead gave that money to Reyes
  4. I would just like to point out that yesterday on TSN radio, AA explicitly mentioned that bullpen ERA was the reason we werent in that game tonight
  5. what was the total Jays WAR this year? And how many wins does a replacement team allocated?
  6. Man guys I just don't see how this is not a .500 team next year
  7. You can't have Dickey without Thole so o think that is a sure thing I also think Happ is a sure thing even if you just take the option and move him for a b prospect
  8. you mean the ALDS, they start Thursday? I thought tommorrow. In any case, I am hoping for some Oriole Magic
  9. Os start playoffs tommorrow, Normally I want them to do terribly, however just to spite you. They are my playoffs team Go Os Maybe if they get in to the world series you will stop talking negatively about them.
  10. I dont think people think he is the problem They think he is one of the problems. Quite the difference, between an aspect of the club being the reason we didn't make the playoffs, or being one of the many small reasons why we didn't make the playoffs. No one who watches this baseball team can disagree with the oft errors that he made throughout the year, many of them errors of foresight
  11. Why spend money, when you can trade assets like Lind, Burly etc. Lind will be traded for a reliever this off season. Book it.
  12. well Gibbons was a very good framer If Kratz is worth $75 Million, Gibby is worth at least $25 Million
  13. But we had a $75Million dollar catcher,
  14. I dont think any of those dreams are coming through. Based on history with AA, combined with budget restraints, and a focus towards improving the bullpen, I think Pillar will definitely be starting next year.
  15. 5 90+ wins seasons
  16. It means that at least twice he was considered to be the Top manager in the American League In fact in his resume he has had several seasons of 90+ wins. In 7 season now, Gibby has yet to break the 90 win barrier Anyone wonder why Gibby was sitting at home since 2008 just waiting for the Jays to call
  17. Nope didn't mention anything about a 2nd baseman. Just said if you look at our bullpen we were 11th in the league, if we were somewhere even average, we are in that game tommorrow
  18. Yep Pillar is just as effective. Failure to replace Melky means the current lineup as follows Reyes Lawrie? Bautista Encarnacion Lind Navarro Pillar Gose Izturis Lol
  19. AA was on TSN radio claiming that if the Jays had an average bullpen, it would be us playing that game tomorrow. LOL
  20. Didn't see this posted anywhere but AA was on TSN Radio today, and insinuated that Melky had rejected an offer made during the all star break Furthermore Jays and Melky were miles apart and had different ideas on a contract Pretty much safe to conclude that Jays wont be resigning Melky
  21. But how do you want to judge General Managers Just pick any metrics. I mean isn't it about wins at the end of the day, and being 14 games under .500 for 5 years, plus never finishing higher than 3rd, isn't that bad?? I am just trying to understand the logic. So I cant judge AA on past performance, and I cant judge him on future assessments. Just give me some Key Performance Indicators. Should I judge him on the number of late night Papa John's orders?
  22. I am and he is 396-414 in 5 years, never finishing above 3rd in his division. In fact, his best year was his first year when he inherited a team built by JPR. He also has the worst record in his division during that time span Is there any other metrics we should be using?
  23. I thought the general manager of a baseball team was virtually paid on his ability to assess and predict future performance of players. Isn't that what the general manager does?
  24. Pretty sure Navarro is penciled in and we need Thole for Dickey, so I can see Jimenez being traded this offseason for nothing Not trying to be negative, it is what it is. This team has their two catchers penciled in.
