Blue Jays Discussion: Let the post-winter-meeting, pre-spring-training baseball withdrawl commence!

[Habaneros]

storen wants to be closer right?
the papelbon thing )

Yes ,he request the trade out of Washington ..wasn't happy losing his job

 

[Cor]

Chavez

He'll be the long-man... At least to start

Nothing wrong with that considering Osuna long term is meant to be in the rotation anyway...if they can re-sign Storen

Source: Cash going from #Nationals to #BlueJays in trade will even out difference in salaries between Storen and Revere.

Even better though I am guessing the player to be named later may be an actual prospect.

PTBNL is probably nothing. If it was anything of consequence I'd imagine it would have been announced right now. Nats probably get a choice of a handful of scrubs minor leaguers.

At least I hope.

 

[hockeykicker]

nats fan here, this is a win win for both teams

just keep storen out of the closer role and he should be great. his stats may look confusing but thats cause his confidence is shot based on how nats handled him. just keep him in one role and he will be good

 

[HOCKEYGOON]

Please please please move Dickey!!!

Big part of this trade is how much you believe that Storen's confidence was totally destroyed by the Papelbon deal.

2014: 7.35 K/9, 1.76 BB/9, 0.32 HR/9, 2.71 FIP, 30 ERA-, 74 FIP-
2015 (pre-Papelbon): 11.27 K/9, 2.11 BB/9, 0.23 HR/9, 1.83 FIP, 42 ERA-, 48 FIP-
2015 (post-Papelbon): 10.26 K/9, 3.78 BB/9, 1.62 HR/9, 4.99 FIP, 192 ERA-, 130 FIP-

The 2014-end of July 2015 Storen is a top 5 reliever in the game.

lost his job twice, first to soriano, second to papelbon

 

[p.l.f.]

ok....
travis leads off when he comes back
til then I guess pompey?

 

[mikebel111*]

If Pompey doesn't work out in the leadoff role, I think Tulo will lead off




edit: Forgot about Travis

 

[Cor]

Tulo may need to leadoff until Travis gets back.

Unless Pompey beats out Saunders

 

[Habaneros]

Maybe Osuna stays closer....Storen sets him up..

 

[tp71]

I know it's not the popular opinion, but I'll miss Ben Revere.

 

[p.l.f.]

no not that again lol
wilner would be thrilled

 

[Canada4Gold]

doubt it. I'd imagine they'd want Pompey in the 9 hole. They'll probably just go Tulo, except for the 1st time around you have Pompey hitting in front of the big 4 so it's the same thing except the better hitters get more at bats.

I doubt they want to put that pressure of leadoff on Pompey.

Plus he will be motivated with Free Agency looming.

depends on the kind if March he has I would think

 

[Longshot]

Pretty solid baseball trade. The team is coming together nicely. I assume something that hasn't been mentioned is Jays management believes Saunders will be relatively healthy for spring training and were comfortable parting with Revere.

He won't mind being a setup man?

 

[theaub]

I'm still not a huge fan of trading Dickey unless you find a superior innings eater.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

This likely means Sanchez moves to the rotation id think. Especially if we move Dickey.

Stroman
Estrada
Happ
Sanchez
Hutchinson

Should be Osuna who moves into the rotation, not Sanchez.

 

[Cor]

Tulowitzki - SS
Donaldson - 3B
Bautista - RF
Encarnacion - DH
Colabello - 1B
Martin - C
Pillar - CF
Goins - 2B
Saunders/Pompey - LF

I'm assuming that's our opening lineup.

 

[hockeykicker]

he will be great there. just keep him there if you do. he doesnt do well with role changing

 

[Woodman19]

Tulowitzki - SS
Donaldson - 3B
Bautista - RF
Encarnacion - DH
Colabello - 1B
Martin - C
Pillar - CF
Goins - 2B
Saunders/Pompey - LF

I'm assuming that's our opening lineup.

It looks almost like Martin bats lead off by default to me. The guy takes his walks.

 

[p.l.f.]

if dickey gets traded thole would have to be in the deal too lol
what would be perfect is to get a good setup man for dickey. then for sure sanchez is a starter maybe osuna too
