Blue Jays Discussion: Steve Pearce: comeback machine

[MS]

Hard to imagine they'd get much of anything for Pearce given the awful return for JD Martinez and apparent lack of interest in Jay Bruce.

My ideal would be to eat some money on Morales and move him and Liriano to Kc. Free up the DH spot for Pearce so he only has to play the field occasionally.

What really is it about certain guys that keep getting hurt? Whether it's fluke injuries or chronic ailments. Guys like Tulo and Lupul come to mind. They keep getting injured. It's strange.

Morales to KC makes a lot of sense if the Jays eat some of the salary,for sure. They're familiar with him, their DH spot has been a disaster, and everyone remotely useful is a free agent after the season, so it would help to have a solid, relatively cheap bat for the next couple years.

I think the Jays are better off hoping he can keep turning things around and increase his value before they move him, but the Royals may be interested in giving up something decent since they know things are gonna be rough in 2018.

Borucki is dealing tonight. He could be a rotation option at some point next year. Maybe even a potential Happ replacement if we deal him next July.

Vladdy singled in his first AB and has walked three times since then.

Two great starts in AA.

And Bo had 2 more hits

Hellickson to Baltimore. That's weird.

Trying to lock down 4th place.

Trying to lock down 4th place.

Knowing them probably. Could also be they just need an arm to fill in innings.

What's nice is the Brewers and Royals were teams interested in him. Maybe they turn to one of the Jays pitchers now.

New York Mets acquire RHP AJ Ramos from Miami Marlins for RHP Merandy Gonzalez, OF Ricardo Cespedes.

Oh man, that Hellickson trade is hilarious.

 

[trellaine201]

Wow I never realized Brandon Morrow was still pitching !!

And in other news Tulo is hurt......once again

 

[frost king]

As much as I like Tulo, he is definitely a piece of glass.

The guy stepped on the 1B foot and rolled his ankle. If he was glass he would have broken it.

The Phillies are trying to make sure they have the biggest international pool to offer Otani, aren't they?

That's an interesting thought. There's been speculation for awhile that they've been itching to flex their financial muscle in some way.

 

[HOCKEYGOON]

lol@The O's

At least our future is better

 

[Mach85]

But but but...they need a starter to "finish out the season."

If it weren't for the international pool money it would be meh. Although I don't know why they never gave Kim more of a shot - dude can get on base.

Looking back, I am now a little pissed at Alex for making that Tulo deal. If he knew that he definitely will not be sticking around after 2015 then that makes that move even worse. Alex knew that he won't need to deal with his contract beyond 2015. Admittedly, yes, I was excited after acquiring him, but definitely weary about his injury history and decline. Was a bad move.

2 years later and all AA's deals except Donaldson kinda stink

Helped with the 2015 and 2016 runs. Also got rid of Reyes. Right now though Tulo is pretty much a waste. Hard to get SS and the Jays needed one.
