I still think Valbuena's the guy - simply because it eliminates Smoak from the equation. I'm cautiously optimistic that Upton is going to play better for the Jays this year. If you take the last 2 partial season in SD, he was a 3 WAR player. He'd seemingly returned to the player he was in Tampa (and not the hot garbage he was in Atlanta). Of course when he got to Toronto, he was back to being hot garbage, but I think we underestimate how difficult it is to change teams mid-season. We saw this with Tulo as well. I think there's an outside chance he's able to give us a league average bat (wRC+ of 100) with above average base running (something we could really use) and solid defense.

Does this what the Joe Blanton market will look like? if so - lets get in on it.
-
Wow - this is significantly more money than I thought he'd get. Good for him.

Understatement of the day.

Is that picture current?????

I thought there were reports that Pagan's hair was in decline?
-
yeah - I don't think that's restricted to Toronto. People are dumb everywhere.

I'm just busting your balls - enjoy Chicago. Last time I was there I did the Wrigley Tour (it was after the baseball season), Boat Tour and a Bears game (for $250 a ticket). I didn't have to pay for the hotel, but with the flight and some quality dinner + a night out at Second City I'm sure I spent $1,000. If you have time - the Second City was experience was awesome. Highly recommended, as is the architectural boat tour.

Trumbo - 2.2 WAR in 159 games (667 PA's). Valbuena - 2 WAR in 90 games (342 PA's). Valbuena is a significantly better target.

Yes. Absolutely.

How much money do you guys think we have left to spend? I fully expect we see a combo of Pompey/Upton/Zeke in LF, but given what seems to be a weak market - I'd love to see us sign both Valbeuna and Moss. It appears you should be able to get both for $15M or so. Cut your losses with Smoak, option Zeke to AAA and leave Pompey in AAA as depth. Bats RF Donaldson 3rd Morales DH Tulo SS Pearce/Valbeuna 1st Travis 2nd Moss/Upton LF Martin C Pillar CF That's a deep, solid lineup. One capable of winning the World Series IMO. It doesn't appear Shatkins is going to chase expensive relievers...but would we have cash left to get Moss & Valbuena + a solid reliever?
-
This is good news, but why does everyone want to move him to LF? I thought we concluded that LF gets a lot more action/attempts than RF. I'd leave him in RF.
-
He seems surprised by it at least...anyway, it was just a joke.
-
f*** - one too many jokes about the eligibility in the WBC!!!
-
What would you want for the Ward one? My kids need an endless supply of balls to hit in the front yard so we can take the others off your hands too! hahaha. I let my kids use my Travis Snider signed ball last summer when we seemingly lost all the other ones.
-
Oh...NO DEAL then. Thanks for being honest.

You're surprised Airbnb is more expensive than a Hostel???
-
Why do you laugh at the Kevin Brown autograph btw? (looks like there's a personalized message on it?) Kevin Brown was f***ing awesome. I'd buy that one off you.
-
It also sets a precedent that the Jays FO isn't going to f*** around and play games. That's an approach I like.
-
It looks like Joe Carter forgot how to spell his name on the black one... You're a Jays fan - keep them for yourself. In 30 years I suspect a fan like you will cherish them more than any amount of money you'd get for them today.
-
All 5 correctly found the Netherlands on the map and thus qualified to play for them. I agree though...it's fun to watch even if it's pointless

my bad. Post made sans morning coffee.

Let's not feed the troll... -
Russell Martin is Canada's starting shortstop. Just f***ing pull the shoot boys. Pull out of the tournament

The answer to your question is no. Not in his case. No idea how you can prefer Hoffman over him personable
