  1. who decides if the Jays are a file and trial team? I assume Shapiro? Were they during the Beeston/AA regime? (I think the answer is yes).
  2. Could we assume arbitration in baseball is a little easier than when required for non-sport contract matters? I mean each side is generally going to site previous cases, tack on some inflation, throw in some 'soft' factors and then the arbitrator will make a decision. This isn't some divorce case where one side is going to throw out claims that the other neglected their kids or wasted their cash with cheap hookers or something.
  3. If that was the case (and it was open ended) - they should have settled for $14M, made the Nats pony up the money, split the profit with Storen and used the left over to sign Blanton!!!
  4. What about the Vernon Wells deal? What about getting Travis for Gose? Even getting Marcum for Lawrie was a steal - even though Lawrie never did fulfill his potential (although he did help us get Donaldson). He didn't get the reputation of being a ninja for nothing. AA had his negatives, but he was good at drafting (and finding loop holes in the drafting system) and at making trades. Simple as that.
  5. sign Kratz, call it a day!
  6. Thanks for making me puke a little in my mouth - at work. Great start to my Friday. FWIW - tight body, but I don't find her that good looking either.

  8. Good news is we still have LaCava & Tinnish, who were instrumental in the Jays recent drafting success. When GM's draft, they rely heavily on their scouting department right.....
  9. This thought deserves more discussion. Can someone teach me ffs.
  10. F'ing Dave Stewart - that tranny lovin' SOB!
  11. OK - and so might have a ton of other prospects that Shapiro drafted (which weren't included on the original list posted as they turned into busts).
  12. It's times like these during which I wish I could figure out how to upload a GIF. If I could, I'd upload one of Michelangelo having his mind blown from the most current reboot of the TMNT movie.
  13. The guys I've bolded are nothing at this point. There's a very good chance Shapiro drafted similar guys who never became ML ballplayers; however, since you didn't follow the Cleveland system like you do the Jays - you've omitted them from the list. If you exclude those guys from AA's list - it's not nearly as impressive.
  14. Everyone complains about Syndergaard & TDA for Dickey........what about Archer for Mark DeRosa....peeeeeee-u
  15. Does anyone think the Jays will be reluctant to put Osuna in the rotation based on his inverted W mechanics and the possibility it will prevent him from every becoming a durable starting pitcher?
  16. Does it really matter if you're making as much $$$ and working in LA?
  17. Or given a true opportunity to...
  18. Most teams would be screwed if both the LF and RF had long-term injuries. That said, we probably have a higher probably of getting screwed due to Saunder's missing meniscus and Jose's age.
  19. It remains to be seen whether he's relevant or not... But OK, you caught me.
  20. What the f*** is the point of paying an international scout when every relevant international players signs with the Dodgers?
  21. Yeah my bad. I didn't word that very well. Regardless, I was unaware that there's a lot of Mormon's in Mexico.
  22. Speaking of Stubbs, we should sign him to a minor league deal and invite him to spring training...
  23. Time out....Mexicans are primarily mormon? Mind blown
  24. It's like some of you forgot how he traded Vernon Wells and acquired Josh Donaldson...Jesus.
