Didn't the whole twitter exchange start because Wilner said he didn't like Revere hitting leadoff?
-
In which era was it a bad idea to get your best hitters the most at bats again???
-
If you follow Pillar you'll notice he has massive hot and cold streaks. He was hot at the end of the season and into the playoffs...
-
We're going to have to - as they are likely both gone in 2017.
-
Exactly. Take the money up front, invest it and watch it grow. Compounding returns are awesome.
-
Because math. $26M > $16M
-
This discussion on whether Pompey can play CF are fascinating. I never realised there was so much doubt about it.
-
And Chapman could blow out his arm...
-
screw you guys.
-
I don't disagree one bit...guess that's why the Jays get paid the big bucks. Personally, much like AA - I prefer targeting players with multiple years of control.
-
It all depends if you think the adjustments he made last year were sustainable. If they are - JBJ has massive value.
-
Except Pompey could give us 3 wins as a fulltime player on a $500,000 contract, which is like $23.5M surplus value + 5 more years of control. I agree he's likely who the Reds would want, but given the uncertainty of Jose beyond this year and his god awful defense & the possibility Pillar has a massive regression....I think you want to keep Pompey around.

2015 Minor League Free Agent List
Brownie19 replied to Corporal Valdal's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I see Justin Jackson the list as well....oh those days. -
I'm not advocating the signing of Colby Lewis at all, but he did post a 2.6 WAR last year and Steamers puts him at 1.1 WAR in 2016. Estrada is coming off a 1.8 WAR season and Steamers puts him at 0.8 WAR in 2016.....yet people want Estrada back, possibly on a multi year deal, while others suggest Lewis should only be offered a minor league deal. That seems odd to me.

more anger - you're quickly becoming my favourite poster.

I rode that horse last offseason and everyone acted like I was on a donkey.

Only on this board would this become a thread. It's awesome. -
Trading a power bat might be the solution
Brownie19 replied to jawadh's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I love the anger in this very solid post...bravo. -
Yeah but Plouffe is solid defensively at 3rd. If they insist on getting Sano into the field, play Sano at 1st, DH Park.
-
ummm you have Sano and Plouffe reversed there...
-
That pretty much sums it up (although you're assuming Mauer can still catch well). Hicks is a great get for the Yanks (unfortunately). I wish the Jays had him.
-
You realise how "good" our offseason would have to be for this to happen?
-
That's why they traded for Trumbo...

Brownie19 replied to jawadh's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Massive assumptions you make include: - The thought that top FA pitchers actually want to sign and play in Toronto - Travis will be healthy, avoid the sophomore slump and be well above average with the bat (despite having a wRC+ of only 126 in AA in 2014 as a 23 yr old. - Goins can be an everyday player - You can give up Tulo without taking on salary in return (otherwise you can't simply add $20M to the "pot" of money we have to magically attract all the best FA pitchers)....this is extremely unlikely...and well, flat out dumb. If anything, we'd want major league players back in return for Tulo. Tulo posted a wRC+ of 141 and 170 in his past 2 seasons in Colorado. He was blindsided and adjusting last year. We want this guy on our team... -
Reports say he may split time at catcher next year because he's made of glass...
