    I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see Travis flashing power like he did last year. It could be the difference between him being a good player and a great player. I love the kid. Love the approach. He's going to be a good one.

    Man I hate the review process

    Poetl isn't going to start or play PF. I don't think the Raps were drafting anyone at 9 that was going to be inserted in the starting rotation - let alone at PF.

    I'm sure that would do wonders for Floyd and his bulletproof arm... I guess my point being that if Hutch replaces Sanchez and the injury bug hits, we're short on depth. Do you just throw one of them to the fire (I think Chavez is probably better suited to do this btw)? It might take 2-3 starts before either could realistically give you 6 innings. That would tax the pen a lot - and might not be the best option when we're going to need every win we can get. Having LeBlanc available to come up for a spot start, without disrupting the bullpen might have been the preferred option. I get the good faith stuff - but surely 32 year old pitchers signed to minor league deal accept and know that's why they were signed? for that very situation? Maybe not and I guess hopefully if this situation arises, there's another journeyman starter in AAA who's throwing the ball well that some other team is going to just gift wrap to the Jays out of good faith.

    I think we need the second lefty. I think Biagini goes back to SF. I don't see anything special that would affect my decision on what is probably a "must win - go for it year".

    There's certainly some truth in this. Norman Powell is a pretty good, recent example. Hard working, meat and potatoes guy who may not have a massive ceiling - but can become a very solid rotation guy in the NBA. Labissiere was that very raw, all upside pick. I kind of thought Davis was a lot further along though - but still with all kinds of upside. I guess time will tell. I was really hoping Brice Johnson would fall to the Raps. I think he's going to be a really good player.

    Outside of Hutch - how realistic is the time line to transition Floyd or Chavez from the pen to the rotation? They'd need to accept a demotion to AAA and spend 3-4 weeks there stretching out their arms?

    I like the Poeltl pick. It was hard to see them pass up on Labissiere and Davis at 27 - considering both were thought to go in the 9-15 range...Both have effort/focus questions, but at 27, it's a long shot anyway and I'd rather bet on talent. That said - a lot of teams passed on both and probably know a lot more than I do. Go get Horford, let DD and Biz walk and trade PP and Ross for a SG.

    The old Crimedog himself - molding the minds of children everywhere. A guy I work with love McGriff and bought an old school powder blue jersey a couple of years ago. It's awesome. Better line up really early to get a towel! I'm going to that game, but won't be waiting in those lines. Welcome to the board. Just don't start new threads or say dumb stuff. haha.

    I think he's suggesting Hutch is going to have to replace Sanchez....then who's the next option if/when the injury bug hits.
  11. Brownie19
    That is so awesome. Gibby may not be the best manager in the world - but between this and the photo op with the rest of the AL managers where he just work an un-tucked dress shirt makes him pretty awesome as a person in my books.
  12. Brownie19
    how broke is this team?
  13. Brownie19
    wat? the Jays can simply give him back to the Giants at any point. He isn't stuck anywhere.
  14. Brownie19
    I suspect either Floyd will have reached his expiry date - or we'll ship Biagini back to SF. He's good depth, but I'm not sure he'll ever be anything special anyway.
  15. Brownie19
    We'd have to send Floyd/Chavez to AAA for a month to stretch him out at this point. The reality is - we have no more depth behind Hutch outside of Diamond (who sucks).
  16. Brownie19
    He looks fine in the commercial. That's probably all guys like Blair see

    That's another great response from Atkins. Someone asked me about Sanchez the other day. It's almost a given we're going to lose EE and Jose at the end of the year anyway...this is the year to go for it and based on the current landscape of our rotation (with Stro and Happ being average/below average) - we're going to need Sanchez in the playoff rotation if we have any chance. It might not be so much about protecting Sanchez long term - but how do we ensure he's in top form come playoff time? We can't afford for him to be completely gassed and ineffective. That should be the goal this year IMO.
  18. Brownie19
    That's a really good response.

    Scary thing is they'll be even better if some of these things happen: - Fielder and/or Moreland start hitting like they did last year - Profar and/or Gallo's prospect status starts to translate in the majors - Darvish gets healthy and dominates - Choo gets healthy and plays like last year Then again - Ian Desmond's going to slow down and their rotation is generally a mess. Good bullpen though.
  20. Brownie19
    I guess the Ruth trade probably does go down as the most lopsided in the history of the game.....never to be approached. I think dumping VDub's contract on the Angels has to be right up there as well (although hard to compare to the JD one).
  21. Brownie19
    I'm not saying it's overshadowed......those are just all things I will "remember" about Jose's career as a blue jay. Its kind of like Machado. Elite, generational talent who I'll always remember as a douche bag.
  22. Brownie19
    meh - it's not fair for you to tell me what I will remember him for Wok. I will remember him as a great hitter. A powerful, patient hitter who in 2010 was must watch TV as this guy comes out of nowhere to hit 54 hrs. In 2011, he was the best hitter in baseball. Then of course I'll never for the flip. After that - I'll remember him as someone who complained about everything and came off as a hot head/jackass who was generally not disliked by the vast majority of baseball (fans & players). I'll also remember his vastly declining defense (especially after hurting his once lethal arm) and the reported stubbornness to move to another position. Finally I'll remember his ludicrous monetary demands and stupid comments about "home discounts". All in all - never one of my favourite players in spite of his success. Here's to hoping there's a final chapter to my memory of one Jose Bautista.

    Does anyone know if there's been an increase in FB% (from hitters) over the past 2-3 years? It seems more hitters realise they do more damage by getting the ball in the air. On the flip side, teams love pitchers with high GB% and we all know slight uppercut swings are ideal for combating sinkers. This is pure speculation on my part, but I'm curious if anyone knows the stats on it.
  24. Brownie19
    misplaying a ball in the outfield? If so, then I'd say fitting. As much as I respect what he's done at the plate, the insistence on keeping him in the OF has been comical....right down to the f'ing commercial this year of him pitching from RF.
  25. Brownie19
    Buck and Tabby just make s*** up way too much. State the facts and mix in a few stories and when in doubt - shut up.
