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

[Man Bear Pig]

How about I swap you my Lawrie jersey?

Shit, I have one of those too. At least it's fake and didnt cost much.

 

[Budz]

funny most on here were not wanting to give DJ Lemahieu a 6 year deal but ok with Springer getting 6 years. They are 1 year apart

Ya - 6 years and he’s 31?

[as Pure as Evil]

So instead of him being the one who had to be sold to come to Canada, he's the one who's been doing the selling. Sounds like he'll love it here.

we have our high profile recruiter

Springer is better. Going out on a limb that miiight be part of the reason for that.

And he fills the biggest need positionally for the Jays.

 

[trellaine201]

So good! Glad he wasn't scared off by the Canada factor

money will do that.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I was pumped when Tulo came but his attitude sucked and he was a piece of shit while here.

Tulo was my favorite player outside of the Jays for long time. I was pumped too when AA got him. Then yeah, it was much less exciting. He seems like a dick.

Sign Brantley, sign Realmuto

Trade Gurriel to Reds for Castillo
Trade Jansen + Tellez to Cubs for Bryant
Trade Grichuk and Roark for a bucket of balls

Guys im going to go shower again.

Remain in there until instructed otherwise. When the water inevitably becomes freezing cold... your sacrifice will become even more honourable.

 

[BigBlu]

I know there have been rumours for years that Kendrys Morales and Lourdes Gurriel Jr was a package deal, and I wonder if the Jays and Brantley making an agreement was part of the deal to get Springer.

So was Groshans + Kloffenstein......

Well gamers we made it all the way to page 39.

This is the first time since the OG tweet that chat isnt going at lightning speed.

 

[Cor]

Get in the shower @phillipmike

 

[Cor]

If Jays get Brantley, and it seems like we might be the front runners, a blockbuster with the Cubs for Bryant and Hendricks would make a lot of sense.

It’s going to be fun to compare this years opening day roster to the one two years ago

If the Jays sign another big name I might need to go to the shower too if you know what I mean.

 

[TF97]

I honestly can't wait for his incoming tweet tantrum or passive-aggressive liking/retweeting of old anti-Shapiro and Atkins tweets.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

@phillipmike you're gonna have to hit the showers and turn into Kramer from that Seinfeld episode.

 

[ktownhockey]

How's Brantley's defence? Can Springer play full time CF for the first half of his deal and be a plus defender in CF?

From the now days dreaded eye test, Brantley can still defend at a good level. That being said I'm sure someone will jump on this with some analytics to back this or not lol. I think him being a great bat and being a lefty would help. He's consistent also.

Wrapped my laptop in saran wrap, its waterproof.

Nice story in case anyone was not aware.
