Blevins isn't a LOOGY, he's a good reliever who could also happen to be our best option vs lefties.
-
I was thinking it was less, but that's great if true. Spend half or less on a relief arm, bring in one more decent dirt cheap option to compete for the backup catcher job, and save the rest for a bat at mid season if we still need one. Maybe it turns out Pompey hits enough to bring value along with his speed and range, and Upton rakes lefties all year. Could even see a guy like Harold hit his way into the lineup. If not, it shouldn't be all that difficult to find a LF bat

2 years for Blevins would probably be fine, or Wood if you consider him a RP. I'm starting to lean towards spending the remaining budget on a good reliever like Blevins rather than on one of the remaining bats. The way I look at it, our most precious asset is the health and performance of our rotation - and Osuna. Adding another high leverage veteran reliever would go a long way towards insulating those key arms - also gives us some flexibility to stretch Biagini into a long role to prepare as rotation depth.

Another tragic accident, RIP

Usually you tell us who it is haha

The 2017 draft order is now finalized with Trumbo being the last qualified player to sign. We will have the 22nd and 28th overall picks.

Kluber for Cleveland. Plus we're talking top 10 pitchers in the game, it's always going to feel like someone is getting left out (I'm not saying this list is good). -
General 2017 Blue Jays Discussion Thread

Well that doesn't seem to be giving nearly enough respect to guys who have been as good (or better) for a lot longer. -
It's too bad. Regardless of who we should have drafted over him, he was a damn good catcher prospect on both sides of the ball and was worthy of being selected in that range. Now it would seem he's a bat only fringe prospect whose career could be in big jeopardy if he doesn't soon mash the upper minors.
-
Hopefully the bat can still play but this would not bode well for his value at all.
-
Trumbo is staying with the O's on a three year deal.
-
Shining example. We didn't end up with weird candy cane stripes or anything out of the ordinary, could be worse.
-
Pretty much our standard jersey with all of the blue replaced by red. I don't mind it, at least they didn't try to come up with a whole new design and give us something way more ugly.
-
I'm wearing a red Jays tshirt, should I look into witness protection or?
-
It would be really nice if Pompey hits well enough to earn regular playing time, with him Upton and Pillar we should have enough range in the rest of the outfield to more than make up for Bautista in RF.
-
I'm cool with running out what we have for LF options for now, as long as they've left enough enough room for an addition mid season. Maybe it's best to wait and see exactly what we need (just a platoon guy if Upton hits vs an every day player if not), and make sure we don't already have a good option in house with the young guys.

Gose reportedly touched 95-97 as a high school lefty, so he'd have a nice base to build from. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/events/draft/y2008/reports_popup.jsp?popup=yes&content=gose

Someone is a Tiger Woods fan?

A sad day for baseball, a time to share our memories...
Pendleton replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Enjoy your retirement, JP. If you're looking for some activities to help fill all your free time, might I suggest: kayaking, knitting, kiting, kickball, ketchup, knotting, kneading, kneeboarding, kissing.... -
You touched on something there that I'm not sure I've seen anyone mention yet - I don't think it should be considered 100% out of the question that Harold Ramirez hits his way into the conversation for a very early call up and stays if he continues to hit in the big leagues.
-
Recent history has shown that it's not tough or expensive to acquire corner outfield, bullpen and bench help mid season. It's not the end of the world if we start the year with a couple cheaper options as filler for the time being.
-
Bring in Juan Graterol to battle AJ and Ohlman in ST. Between the three we'd have the backup job and both AAA slots filled for roughly the same total price as Iannetta just went for.
-
If we're looking at a ST competition between unproven options for the backup catcher job, we should at least add another name to the list. Juan Graterol was DFA'd by Arizona to make room for Iannetta, he might be better than the options we have in place now.
-
Dodgers and Twins talks on Dozier have stalled apparently, maybe they need a third team involved to help facilitate. We get Puig, Dodgers get Dozier, Twins get one very good prospect from LA and two from us (or something along those lines).
