Get your popcorn folks. This should be fun to watch.

That is terrible news. We're pulling for you Bettis!

That's jizz tissue material right there!

yikes - that's account deleting material right there.

I'm not saying he has...but most people do mature and grow up as they age. I imagine getting cut from a team may change his perspective a bit.

Let's fill them with the Omar Vizquel and Mark DeRosa's of the world instead - great call. I seem to remember a pile of people on here who were pissed we let Valencia go...

A perfect role model for children? Jesus Christ man - don't reproduce.

I was at the Twins spring training stadium last Saturday. They renovated it 2-3 years ago and the place is gorgeous. It would be amazing if they could make Dunedin look that good. It looks like a s*** hole now in comparison to the Twins, Rays and Red Sox stadiums.

Cecil always seems to start slow...

God he's the epitome of a douche bag...

Yep. I'm suggesting that too. You walk in and like a man and a true leader - you admit your mistake and explain you have an opportinity to improve 2 team weaknesses for about $2M.

What would it cost to sign Lawrie at this point? $1M? Pagan likely costs the same. Shatkins has to be able to walk in and explain that for $2M we can significantly improve the team depth

What's wrong with cutting Smoak and replacing him with Lawrie?

Rumours are out the Jays are interested in both Pagan and Lawrie. Those 2 really would solidify a very deep roster heading into the season.

Shockingly - Zaun's a f***ing idiot. Laurie's worst season is equal to Smoak career season (in terms of WAR). Money is the only reason we wouldn't want to dump Smoak and take on Lawrie. Given the health of JD and Travis - this seems like a no brainer. Shatkins said they wanted to get faster, more versatile and younger. Lawrie checks all 3 of those boxes....although he's a douche.

We'll of course not when we still have Goins around...

Speaking of Gibby I took my 6 yr old son to the Jays v. Twins game on Saturday. We went early to try and get autographs....stood behind the Jays dugout before the game...all set up to get some when the players finish warming up....until the Twins usher guy yells at 15 mins before the game to get in our seats (crusty old f***). After the game we fight the clouds and get down to the dugout only to see Reece M. Sign his last autograph and leave. Unfazed we ask someone where the jays leave the clubhouse and are told the bus is over there in a restricted area but there's a 2nd storey balcony we can see them from. We go over, hang the ball over and watch all the jays ignore us (couldn't hear us over the loud buses + couldn't see us up top). At this point my son is very sad/discouraged and begins to cry a bit. I console him...she of the twins officials try and play with him a bit but he's clearly upset. Finally an officer sees us from down below and tells us to throw down a ball and he takes it on the bus....who else signs it but the skipper himself - Gibby. Made my son's day.

Lawrie and Pagan replacing Smoak and Zeke on our roster would be some excellent upgrades.

Based on this side view...Sanchez may be ready to move up the BJMB hot list next year. Looks like he's really filling out. JD looks like a massive douche who tries too hard. Must be taking tips from Pillar.

Good god - I now have inspiration for my "bold predictions 2017".

I could see Alford's swing from the side today...it looked a lot better then from the pitchers view.

Funny John. I'm just saying his swing and swing path look odd. Anyone else think/notice this?

Alford doesn't pass the eye test for me. I can see why he strikes out so much.

Looks like they want to get a good look at Tellez - he's seemingly playing everyday no? I'll be at the game in Fort Myers tomorrow v. the Twins. I really want to see Tellez, Alford and Urena start.

offside.
