Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Madness the 10th: Melk Man Edition

[Scion]

If D'Arnaud is in the deal you have to figure it includes Davis and possibly Niese as well.

Niese doesn't make sense, unless the Jays plan on re-flipping him or someone else in the rotation.

 

[Woodman19]

I guess Ike Davis can project to be a .800 OPS left handed 1B with lots of controllability.

 

[TieClark]

Davis makes sense though.

 

[King Mapes]

Crazy remembering the Happ deal. We pulled off 2 10 person deals since July, crazy

 

[Scion]

Ike Davis sucks.

Davis absolutely raked from June 9th onwards (265/.347/.565. In 383 PA), and has shown flashes of being an above average 1B in previous seasons. He isn't my first choice, but I would at least be comfortable with trading D'Arnaud if he were included in the transaction, his power likely plays up at the Rogers center as well.

Very interesting article regarding RA Dickey.

The full list of pitchers with an ERA- between 75 and 80 over the last three years: David Price, Cole Hamels, CC Sabathia, Felix Hernandez, Gio Gonzalez, Matt Cain, and R.A. Dickey.

They both suck and one should go.

We have no one close to ready to replace Lind, we have Gose almost ready to replace Rasmus.

Want to repeat 1 thing reported earlier, because important here. 2 people involved in this tell me Dickey will do extension w TOR if traded

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

D'Arnaud + Gose + Buck for Dickey + Davis + Thole

Perhaps?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Oh man, imagine if we got the NL Cy Young winner from last year? It does not happen often where a Cy Young winner from the previous season gets dealt. That will send even more shock waves across the MLB than the blockbuster with the Marlins.

 

[GoHardSports]

D'Arnaud + Gose + Buck for Dickey + Davis + Thole

Perhaps?

eeeew no. If we had to give up D'Arnaud i'd do this:
D'Arnaud+Lind+Buck for Dickey+Davis+Thole

 

[cyris]

D'Arnaud + Gose + Buck for Dickey + Davis + Thole

Perhaps?

Please god no.

Trading D'Arnaud doesn't make sense to me...

Niese doesn't make sense, unless the Jays plan on re-flipping him or someone else in the rotation.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Jays moved Buehrle either in the trade or another one right after if it happened, and then used the extra money money (about 5.5M) to try to upgrade at 1B this year.

 

[William Hylander]

If we are trading d'Arnaud for Dickey, AA is making a huge mistake.

Top 10 prospects provide so much surplus value because of the low salary they are played, if d'Arnaud does go to the Mets we will be regretting it.

We should just stay away from deals with d'Arnaud involved unless we are getting a young and controllable asset similar to him.

I would not be opposed to that at all.

Excellent post.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

The phrase "top-10 prospect" has no actual significance. D'Arnaud is D'Arnaud....whatever that is.

Nailed it.

I will be so heavily disappointed if D'arnaud goes. I haven't been this excited about a jays prospect in a long time, and hes a catcher to boot.

which means we would have to give up more
what kind of extension
he would want scary dollars

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Am I the only one who doesn't really want Dickey, lol?

edit: I mean, the price is ridiculous. We're not in that position to just trade D'Arnaud

 

[King Mapes]

Trading D'Arnaud doesn't make sense to me...

I just don't see AA doing it

 

[Warden of the North]

Excuse the ignorance, but if this happens where does Dickey fit in the rotation?

 

[LV*]

Trading D'Arnaud doesn't make sense to me...

I agree with you, Gose shouldn't go either.

Everybody under the moon has said it'll take 2 years and 20-26 mil to extend Dickey.
