    TDottttt205 - from the old ESPN blue jays message board right? What's up man from wsox_fan75! nice to see a familiar face on here. I know personally I wasn't giving Hutch enough credit...
  2. Brownie19
    Ya? Kind of hope you're right.
  3. Brownie19
    For all he'll be needed, Caleb Joseph will be fine in that role. At least he knows how to frame a pitch.
  4. Brownie19
    Make Tinnish GM.
  5. Brownie19
    I will literally denounce my allegiance to the Jays if they deal Hoffman - or anyone significant to get DD, who has absolutely no experience in the role. This story is completely out of hand.

    Jeff Blair is a utter buffoon. I'm OK with moving Navarro - but why would Baltimore want him?
  7. Brownie19
    That crossfire motion interests (and worries) me more than his beard, cooking habits and musical tastes. Does anyone have anymore info on it? Was it perhaps the root of his control problems prior to last year? Have the Jays worked to eliminate it?

    Would be interesting to know who much Houston values him. Their offseason signings kind of suggest they don't have any faith in him as a late inning reliever. Surely to god they aren't fooled by his mid 4 ERA? Maybe they are just trying to mimic the Royals...

    Anyone think we could pry Josh Fields away from Houston? 11.5 K/9, 2.8 BB/9, 3.15 xFIP, 2.09 FIP last year. He was aided by an unsustainably low HR/FB and I'd rather him generate more GB's, but there's a lot to like here. What would it take?
  10. Brownie19
    Do you guys think the Jays were taking Giolito in that draft he the Nats didn't? I meant to ask Tinnish that last I spoke with him, but forgot.
  11. Brownie19
    That obviously wasn't Norris's best curve ball. I never noticed it before, but in the AAA .gifs above, you can see Norris lands on the first base side quite a bit, causing him to throw across his body. This is something they really tried to correct on Hutch...just an observation. Stop surfin', start fixing that man!

    Given our obvious need at 2nd base, I'm not sure how anyone can't be at least happy with the deal for Travis
  13. Brownie19
    I love how quiet and repeatable his motion is...he certainly passes the eye test...I expect him to have a major impact this coming season
  14. Brownie19
    I think this is spot on. Another point to add is that Dickey had been gaining velocity on his knuckleball year after year and with increased velocity came more strikeouts and better success. I agree the Jays took the risk that they had something very unique and very special on their hands. Given their financial situation, he really was the perfect storm opportunity. Unfortunately, the velocity dipped 2 MPH in 2013 and he hasn't been the ace they'd hoped for. However, he'd been a very good #3 pitcher at a reasonable cost. Syndergaard and TDA have been absolutely nothing to date - so even though Dickey hasn't turned out as well as AA thought he might, the deal still hasn't been a disaster. I don't blame AA for taking the risk, just like I don't blame him for taking a risk on Morrow, Santos, Gose, Delabar or Lawrie.

    Lind married the girl from The Mindy Project? Who knew.
  16. Brownie19
    Clutch stats...that's funny
  17. Brownie19
    I agree it's not the only way to judge a talent, but he's so far ahead of Happ there's really nothing else to debate. Btw, you haven't really explained why you don't like him or why you like Happ more. Repeating you just do doesn't really make for a riveting message board debate either.
  18. Brownie19
    Buehrle needs the calls on the corners...Martin is the best bet to maximize those. That's my reasoning.
  19. Brownie19
    Porcello is 25th in the majors total WAR overall the past 4 years. Happ would have to be paying you before you'd take him over Porcello
  20. Brownie19
    Lay off the crack sir. Porcello's been basically a 3 WAR pitcher for 4 years now (which is about 30-35th best in baseball annually). He's a very solid pitcher and light years ahead of Happ. He's also young with room for improvement. I'd he was on the Jays you wouldn't have the same opinion.
  21. Brownie19
    But he can't be expected to catch more than 120-130 games a year. His game calling and framing skills are better utilized catching traditional pitchers. Why waste him catching Dickey and then have to sit him when Buehrle throws?
  22. Brownie19
    Helps to have confidence the guy is gonna catch it when you throw it...
  23. Brownie19
    Again, Martin is going to need rest regardless. Wouldn't Martin's framing skills and game calling skills be best utilized catching the traditional pitchers? And thus wouldn't it be best to have Thole catch Dickey once every 5 days?
  24. Brownie19
    Is Pearce the next Bautista?
  25. Brownie19
    Wilner didn't say "the Jays were never interested in Aoki" man.....he simply said they aren't really in a position to spend money on depth. That seems like a logical and likely a very accurate view. You seemingly call Wilner a maroon based on some fictitious notion that he was suggesting that without a doubt, the Jays had no interest in Aoki.
