Blue Jays Discussion: Off-Season Pt IV | Ah the waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos

[AllDay28]

You literally said on multiple occasions that they would get no one and we would be disappointed and they would settle for backup plans.

ya other than Springer. You guys have this all new UFA team on paper. this will be it almost certainly.

 

[Emerica]

I don't have the time to go through your post history but you know what you posted lol. Good night my friend, enjoy the singing!

 

[canucksfan]

Currently, where would you put Springer in the lineup?

 

[EpochLink]

Stacked lineup, let’s go!

Oh, so the "other than Springer" part was just implied. Cool.

This is what we call moving the goal posts. We all saw what you posted lol

Leadoff

I'd like to go on record saying once again that i disagree with the notion that we're too clogged in the corner outfield to get Brantley. Most of our position players have multiple position capabilities.

Also why not try for Bauer at this point. They've got the money!

Brantley would be terrific. Gives us more lineup balance and allows us to move an outfielder for an arm.

The added value of this deal, of course, is that it perks up the ears of all the other free agents and makes the jays suddenly much more attractive.

 

[Hoverhand]

Remember that scene in Moneyball where Billy calls Shapiro and says "I get the impression the market for Rincon is softening."

I would like Shapiro to call Trevor Bauer's agent and say those exact words.

$150M is steep but it's great to get a big FA.

Hey do I get props for believing in your post back then?

Can't like this enough.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Can we get Bauer now please?
3 headed monster of Bauer, Ryu and Pearson along with this offense should offset the average defense which still can grow to be better.

Happy days. The future is very bright

 

[AllDay28]

I will say sorry that I know someone and you guys probably dont. I wont say anything about it going forward. I saw the heat ChuckWoods got.

Oh, so the "other than Springer" part was just implied. Cool.

you have this condescending way to how you talk to people for someone whos constantly incorrect on things. I feel this is the best time to let you know that.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I mentioned it a few days ago, but I’m glad a rule like no more than 5 years as Beeston set out is not carried over and standing in the way of landing your prime target.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Currently, where would you put Springer in the lineup?

I would hit him 4th but statistically he hits best leading off.

 

[habamillions]

Leadoff

I agree. Thats where he has had his success. Then have biggio 2. Bichette 3. If you have a guy like hernandez 7 and tellez 8. Thats a great lineup. Now need a few rotation arms

 

[phillipmike]

Good value

 

[zeke]

Stick the vet at #3. Take the pressure off the kids.

Bichette
Biggio
Springer
Vladdy

 

[TMLeafer]

Wow!

 

[Cor]

Now get us Paxton, Brantley, and trade Grichuk for an bullpen arm.
