  1. On pace for 67
  2. Both clubs will not be selling at this rate, it can change of course, but it isn't happening as of now. Be real, man.
  3. Why would either of these guys be available?

ArticleMinors Blue Jays’ Yohendrick Pinango Displays Confidence With New Swing The Blue Jays believed in Yohendrick Pinango’s bat speed and exit velocities when they first acquired him from the Cubs last summer, but they also had some ideas for the outfielder. His attack angle was pretty steep. So while he was making hard contact, Pinango often drove the ball low in the air or directly into the ground. So during the offseason, the Blue Jays introduced him to a series of drills designed to adjust his swing plane. The results have pushed the 23-year-old up to Triple-A Buffalo after two months of mashing at Double-A New Hampshire. “His first move used to be down to the ball, now it’s just more in line to where he’s still really quick to fire the barrel, but it’s more getting that bat on plane earlier and that’s just giving him a little bit more time to make decisions,” Blue Jays farm director Joe Sclafani said. “He’s been unbelievable, literally since the spring.” Acquired along with shortstop Josh Rivera for Nate Pearson, Pinango’s progress has suddenly thrust him into a crowded organizational outfield mix featuring several players vying to break through. Pinango first reached Double-A last season, posting a .720 OPS in 88 games between the Chicago and Toronto systems. But returning to New Hampshire this season, he batted .298/.406/.522 with eight home runs and five stolen bases in 47 games before a June 1 bump. Sclafani said that between “the way he competes in the box” and how “the approach has continued to get better,” the Blue Jays believe the success can continue up a level. “You can just see the confidence every time he steps in the box now,” he said. “He’s definitely taking to it pretty well. He’s not chasing just because he’s had a success. He’s not going outside of himself. “His conviction to his plan and approach has been really impressive.”
  5. Wow... derp, lol.

    NHL Thread

    F*cking Leafs could've had the Panthers down 3-0, f*cked that game up bigtime. Also, Leafs gave the Panthers the toughest fight, but they choked it all away. Sad really.
  7. Dave Stieb would be in Halladay's tier, he's arguably the best ever Blue Jays starter. His slider was a video game pitch, lol.
  8. Series win, a sweep would be a cherry on top. I think they do it.
  9. The only way Bo goes would be for a big upgrade in the rotation or OF with control I'd think.
  10. The Angels are 2 games out, no way their thinking of selling ATM, I only see 6 teams that'd be selling ATM... White Sox, Athletics, Nationals, Marlins, Pirates and Rox.
  11. I should've kept reading, my bad, lol... but this is my point.
  12. He's already lost it against lefties, Ernie plays.
  13. And since May 1st he has an 81 wRC+, which is playable with his elite D and decent BSR, I don't see a problem when guys come back at all. They'll spread it out, and will have plenty of AB's to go around.
