Jesus - the 2016 lineup must be awful!!!!
-
I like how you're setting yourself up here. Nobody will call you out if Zobrist falls off a cliff, or if Sanchez rounds into a great young starter...
-
You kind of omit the replacement comes in like 2018...
-
BTW - this makes me wish we could have dealt Sanchez + to the Braves for Heyward and Walden. Pompey gets another year development.
-
Do you guys think it would take Sanchez + to get Zobrist? I mean we got Donaldson - who's superior to Zobrist already - and is under control for 4 more years without having to give up Sanchez. Cards gave up a replacement level pitcher in Shelby Miller (Sanchez had a higher WAR last year in only 33 innings...) to get 1 year of Heyward - who was similar to Zobrist last year, projected to be 1.2 WAR above Zobrist this year and is still on the upswing of his career....oh and they got Walden too - who also had a higher WAR than Miller last year. It seems almost everyone on this board is "down" on Sanchez - but I simply don't see the need to even give him up for Zobrist - given the current market values this offseason. He still has a ton of growth in him and these type of electric arms don't grow on trees...
-
Alomar's ranks #1 in my mind. That was the breakthrough moment vs. one of the most dominate closers in MLB history. For me - it was all about winning their first ever championship. The 2nd one was great - but the first one (and the road to the first one) was THE most important moment in Blue Jays history.
-
One could argue Joe's homerun wasn't the first or second most "clutch" situation in Blue Jays history. Alomar's HR off Eck and Timlin shutting the door for their first every championship ranks well ahead of Joe's HR in my mind.
-
Except you don't even know when that was...
-
Navarro for Randell Delgado? Thoughts?
-
I'm not sure getting more swings and misses than Buehrle should be the bar that Sanchez aims for. Just sayin'
-
What do you mean by that?
-
Really? I know Zob continues to put up decent WAR numbers - but he just doesn't move the needle for me. Great, versatile defense, but he's down to a 10/10 player now. 4 years of Donaldson is the type of player I'd be willing to give up Sanchez for...and we didn't even have to move him to get Josh...1 year of Zob? Pass.
-
AA loves Sanchez. I was at a Christmas party with him in 2011 and he told us Sanchez was his top prospect...over D'Arnaud, Hutch, Syndergaard, etc. despite coming off a very disappointing season (Sickels ranked Sanchez 10th best entering 2012). I'll be very interested to see if AA falls into the GM man-crush zone where they can't let go of what they thought he'd be (if he doesn't suceed initially).
-
New to the board - DDL sounds like it's a keeper fantasy league. Any openings? I run a re-draft fantasy league of guys from the ESPN blue jays message board. We're going on our 8th or 9th year now. Would be interested if you have an opening.
-
Anyone else surprised we haven't signed Gordon Beckham yet? Or was AA's rumoured man-crush on him just a smoke screen? He's cut from the same cloth at Justin Smoak.
-
Do Jays trade Navarro? What do they get back?
Brownie19 replied to Mikeleelop's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
He's always hit much better (in relative terms) away from Safeco. He was a big time talent - I think it's worth a shot.....although I'd prefer if he was one of the only "gambles" we had to take. Good news is - 1st/DH has to be the easiest position to "fill"....if this is our "hole" - it's a great place to have one IMO. -
I find it humourous when Rotoworld says McGehee is coming off a terrific season....
-
Yanks deal Prado and David Phelps for Nathan Eovaldi and Garrett Jones. at 25 years old - I really like Eovaldi.
-
Padres continue to shake things up by getting Middlebrooks for Hanigan.
-
What about when Shields was awful in the playoffs last year? You obviously seem to worry that everything could go wrong - doesn't that worry you too?
-
I seem to remember videos of him and Cecil doing it together....so he must have been doing some of that training after coming to the Jays. I had thought it was the reason behind his success in 2013. Perhaps I was just fooled by the media and TV once again...
-
Is this suggesting he wasn't on it last year?
-
Sure did. Back in the days of Frank Thomas, Jason Bere and his "fosh", One Dog, Ventura, Black Jack, Wislon Alverez and Alex Fernandez...amazing. Over time, I just grew apart and for years have been a die hard jays fan.
-
I met Rios and got his autograph at the big "meet the jays" day they do in spring training every year. He was a douche. I let my 4 year told practice in the front yard with the ball he signed He also plays with the Travis Snider ball I have (which I had in the mint case for years hoping he'd be a stud). Good times.
-
Hey guys - I'm new to the board. Like what I see. I'm a left over from the old ESPN Blue Jays Message Board - former user name was "wsox_fan75". Any regulars here that used to post there before it got shut down?
