    I don't think they went into the season with this mentality. However, after seeing that Pompey was about to cry after every failed at bat - they decided he was not mentally strong enough to work his way out of the slump. I'm not sure you can fault the Jays for not being able to know how he'd react during his first slump at the ML level (everyone is different and working your way out of a slump in AA is a lot different than it is in the big show). Let's be honest, he couldn't work his way out of the slump in AAA - what makes you think he was ever going to in the majors? I hope he's working his tail off now and has learned from his mistakes.

    He's got a wRC+ of 34 this year vs. LHP. It was 55 last year. That's tuuurrible. Not useable. I don't see any value in giving up our good assets like Castro, Pompey, Norris, etc. to add this guy. We need pitching.

    Sanchez >>> Nicolino

    As if my HS English teacher didn't catch this before now...wow, I'm duummm

    You mean the daughter didn't come home after a night out with Elvis Andrus and tell her Dad how she took the cock? shocking.

    s*** x 1.3 still equals s***.

    Quintana would be an AMAZING pickup. Get him and Daniel Webb.. Seriously though, Quintana is signed long-term for next to nothing. He isn't going anywhere unless Kenny Williams has lost his mind.

    If it take Norris+ or Castro & Pompey for Reddick I would seriously look elsewhere. I'd move those guys, but it better be for an Ace like Hamels. Good god, the man is a left handed platoon bat. Career wRC+ of 84 vs. LHP, OPS of .664. For all intensive purposes, he's Adam Lind with some OF defense. Barf.

    It makes me barf seeing Navarro Dh'ing vs. RHP and Smoak on the bench.

    People complain AA doesn't know how to put together a bench and finish off the team, but I have to say i really like Valencia, Carerra and Smoak. Thank god he would a way to keep Hendriks (where would the pen be without him) and I even think he deserves credit for CC....depth guy...injury cut his hot strak short last yr... Nobody's perfect, but he's found some good bench/depth guys...even if nobody wants to give him credit

    WAR of -0.1, FIP of 5.19, xFIP of 4.56, K/BB Ratio of 1.05 Best not to just look at one stat and draw conclusions. It's short sighted and stupid.

    (shakes head) - WTF is going on...
  13. Brownie19
    exactly....nobody on here likes Sanchez.

    I tend to agree with this. It was the Mets trade that made me cringe.
  15. Brownie19
    That's Wilmer Flores - he's playing SS for them.

    Are you serious you wouldn't deal Travis to get Syndergaard? Travis projects to be average 2nd baseman at best. Remember we got him for Gose man.

    Because we're in Canada. Also - take a good look at the results of the "big" FA signings over the past 5-6 years. It's not pretty.
  18. Brownie19
    If Travis could be the centerpiece for Samardzija I could live with that. I don't think the Travis we saw to start this season is anywhere close to the player he'll ultimately be (I'm referring the power outburst). I'd sell high if I could.

    Thanks Captain Obvious - you can take the rest of the day off now...

    He was also very cheap at the time ($5M if I recall correctly). They got the best starter available who: 1. fit within the budget 2. was under control for 3 years; and 3. who was available via trade they overpaid because RAD fit these requirements perfectly. It didn't work out. Move on.
  21. Brownie19
    Yeah I think that's a load of s*** too. Same as I think you have to shoot a certain score to professionally teach people how to golf. So stupid.
  22. Brownie19
    I wouldn't extend him right now. I suspect an extension would be something like 2 years, $12M - $14M (Carlos V got 2 yr - $10M from Cubs); but lets be honest, he hasn't been able to "stick" in the rotation during his career and at 31, it's doubtful that will change (he's just on a hot streak). At $6-7M/year - he has to be in your rotation to give you value because he'd have to be a shut down setup man to give value at $6M/year in the pen. He's a useful, versatile pitcher - he's just not someone you want to sink a lot of $ into.

    Is that article written by a 13 year old girl? The term 'star' is relative to you own perspective, but I highly doubt "someone you can pencil in behind A.J. Griffin" would EVER be considered a 'star'.

    Trading for Kennedy based on his peripherals would be similar to last year when the Yanks dealt for Brandon McCarthy (which worked out great for NYY). In general, I like the ideal. My concern is Kennedy's a flyball pitcher who's best suited in a big ballpark (like Petco). I'd be OK with them adding Kennedy at a reasonable price - provided that's not the only move we make...
  25. Brownie19
    Such a disappointment all around. Great god given talent. At the very least, you thought you'd get a GG defense in CF and a terror on the base paths - even if he never hit much. It's amazing we got Travis for this guy.
