Blue Jays Discussion: 2.5 Games Back.... *heavy breathing* - Jays Acquire Cliff Pennington

[dredeye]

A minor league deal, sure. Wouldn't want him anywhere near the mlb roster. I've never liked Norris, he walks tons of hitters and gives up a ton of hits. He also doesn't strike anyone out. Just a disaster all-round.

Well no I wouldn't give him a spot of the big club. That's for sure. I wouldn't mind a minor league deal and see if our staff can change something in his delivery to make him better.

those are good
but i dont see it anywhere at this time

Likely after the Os, Angels game.

Arms are a crapshoot, guys get released all the time. Drabek is now a off speed thrower in the minors and he was the key piece for Halliday.

wow lowe is wicked

I like the Jays lineup in Anahiem and Camden yards,

 

[Loosie]

me too.

So how are we now?

I know we're 2.5 back of the Yankees.
are we #1 in the wild card too?

Yes 2.5 back of the Yankees, and if the score in LA holds up yes we will be #1 wild card.

Series against the Yankees next week is going to be electric!

 

[garce]

Great call got it right

 

[Daisy Jane]

Yes 2.5 back of the Yankees, and if the score in LA holds up yes we will be #1 wild card.

thanks, Loosie!

Thank goodness I didn't do an avatar bet on this Blue Jays-Yankees series. Otherwise, I'd end up having the latter image as my avatar.

 

[Dingers]

They haven't announced September yet Jays/Yanks in New York on the 13th is a thing for sure

I just hope they don't **** the bed on National T.V. ala Raptors

Also worth noting Arizona is retaining all of Pennington's salary... yeah, AA has zero budget room confirmed, if the Revere trade didn't already do so.

I'm pretty sure that's why Valencia was DFAed.

 

[tamle]

Game is replaying right now on ESPN (yes broadcast). Look up Zeus for kodi for the channel.

 

[Swervin81]

I'm pretty sure that's why Valencia was DFAed.

Yeah, I'm with you. Especially since he'll command at least $3.5M in arb the way he's going and his "versatility", while Cola isn't even arb eligible for another 2 years.

It's possible that he has a bit of wiggle room and is just trying to save everywhere he can to keep his options open.

 

[King Mapes]

We're full.
