I don't know for sure, but here's a guess:
1. Dickey, $10M
2. MB, $18M
3. Romero, $7.5M
4. Izturis, $3M
5. Thole, $1M
6. Navarro, $6M
So, ~ $45M?
Are Bill Caudil, Frank Thomas or BJ Ryan still under contract?
9 teams, and it's because it's a fun league and great team to cheer for. I don't wear mine everywhere, but I wear my Jays stuff everywhere. Is that as weird as f***?
You know, if the Twins were abysmal at this point in the year, I think Santana would have been a nice buy low candidate for us. But of course the Twins are looking at a playoff spot. Dammit.
4th outfielder with lots of playing time. I still think Pompey has a higher ceiling and I want him in CF starting soon. But I hope Bautista, despite his defensive decline is in RF for a few more years and LF for me is still Saunders spot. So, with band-aid Saunders in mind, and decline JB, Pillar as the 4th OF gets lots of time.
I am overjoyed with Pillar this season and his defence has been fun to watch. If he manages to play all season, and keep his WAR between 2-3, then yeah, I would be prepared to offer him a FT spot. Make Saunders the 4th OF (he`s off the books in 2016 anyway, right)
Don't lose your s***, people, but Dickey needs to go to the 'pen. Call up Norris for his spot, and keep up Doubront.
Wow, has this season sort of gone of the rails.
I was thinking the exact same thing. He's been sooo solid for us since the trade. Thank God. Otherwise that trade is an absolute train wreck otherwise.
Yep, 100% agree.
Last year's non-moves at the deadline were deflating to the fans, and it appears the team.
Hamels brings you buzz, and a front-end starter for 2.5 years. And his contract is reasonable. That's golden.
But I'll say again, I want to keep Hoffman. Sanchez and Norris?
That's not true. There will be blue chip principal players in any trade and a few B prospects. You will hardly ever see ONLY blue chip prospects traded for a top tier player. Feel free to prove me wrong.
Oh man, I'd love Shields. And Kimbrel. Would that cost us EVERY single good propect? Hoffman, Norris, Boyd +? The Jays have really started to draft well, to the point where I have confidence in our org to replenish our farm after such a trade. It'd take 2-3 years but man, we'd have a good shot of playoffs for at least 2 years.
Wow, I checked the standing, we're in a playoff spot! With like 5 other teams. I hope the race is tight all the way to the end (with the Jays coming through to win the division of course). Makes for some exciting baseball. Love it.
