Blue Jays Discussion: Trades for Troy Tulowitzki .. And some other guy named David Price

[mikebel111*]

And why are some people saying LF now? Just call up Pompey!

Another BP arm would be nice but not sure its really needed.

Though there might be more coming

I would look at getting a lefty specialist for the BP.

 

[Gargyn]

Well good news is they must have money to pay for a top starter in the off season so even if price walks, they will be throwing money at someone.

 

[SDig14]

I think AA at least got the blessing from ownership to pay him.

But that doesn't mean he will sign.

Orioles hangout after an Orioles loss.

here is a recent gem from there

At this point, making the playoffs is secondary to me. I just want to finish ahead of the Blue Jays and keep them out of the playoffs. Price will walk this offseason and Tulo may spontaneously combust playing on that turf. Meanwhile, they don't have anyone left to field minor league teams.

In what world did the radio crew think bringing Zaun on to talk prospects/front office stuff was a good idea? Zaun being Zaun and sounding like a moron.

 

[TootooTrain]

I would look at getting a lefty specialist for the BP.

Would be nice. Both Loup and Cecil have reverse splits.

Wilner is such a clown. He has no sense of humour. Knows everything. Is rude. I could go on.

These guys trying to lighten Wilner up on TV. He's not playing.

He's the ****ing worst. I can't stand Wilner.

 

[Stats01]

I want Kimbrel or Chapman now.

Funniest thing about this is that the Jays got better, AND their system still has more depth than the Os.

 

[mikebel111*]

Zaun shut up please.
When it comes to prospects, he has no clue

 

[Sokil]

something the downers are forgetting is that if the jays collapse and this team cant win with this group, SELLING is an option and that's one way to refill the cupboard with young talent / prospects to rebuild

the odds of giving up, letting everyone expire, and rebuilding from scratch is slim because it should never get to that point

 

[LaCarriere]

LF isn't an issue, even with Pompey in AAA. Bullpen isn't an issue either, they have a league average bullpen, and they suddenly wont be working nearly as much without that scrub Doubront who can't even go 5 innings. They have inning eaters in Price, Buehrle and Dickey.

At this point Valencia should be starting LF instead of Colabello or Carrera as long as Bautista is healthy enough to play RF.

Their biggest need is still SP.

 

[The Nemesis]

I would look at getting a lefty specialist for the BP.

Don't need one. Hawkins, Tepera, and Schultz all have very good #s vs lefties. And are solid vs righties too. Better to have pen flexibility.

 

[Bad News Benning]

I would look at getting a lefty specialist for the BP.

that's Loup....Gibbons just needs to use him as such.

 

[theaub]

We could still use a top end bullpen arm

 

[TootooTrain]

Don't need one. Hawkins, Tepera, and Schultz all have very good #s vs lefties. And are solid vs righties too. Better to have pen flexibility.

Glad you had those numbers handy. Wanted to search it up but I'm multi-tasking as is. Either way one more reliever wouldn't hurt.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

we really need to get a closer. we're all in, might as well take it another step further. even if we don't get a big name like kimbrel, i really hope AA gets us a closer.

 

[Joufreau]

I have got to stop buying personalized jerseys. Schenn, Blake, Cujo (pre-Detroit), and now Norris. What a waste.

is that blake as in Jason blake? aha you bought a Jason blake jersey??

 

[tml19]

Don't need one. Hawkins, Tepera, and Schultz all have very good #s vs lefties. And are solid vs righties too. Better to have pen flexibility.

Then replace loup. Imo hes the only blackhole in that bullpen.

 

[Longshot]

Their biggest need is still SP.

Bullpen should be better with Sanchez down there and Hawkins now.

Sometime you just gotta roll the dice:

1992 - Blue Jays acquire David Cone for Jeff Kent and player to be named later. Kent went on to have a stellar career, and Cone left after the season, but...the Jays won a World Series.

1993 - Blue Jays acquire Rickey Henderson for Steve Karsay and others, none of whom distinguished themselves in the years to come. Rickey also left after the season but...the Jays won a World Series.

If any of the guys that have been let go turn out to be as good as Jeff Kent (and that's a BIG if) but the Jays win a series in the next 2 to 3 years, it's still a win.

GO JAYS GO!!!

All your 2012 cy young winner are ours

No matter what AA does, the Jays will again fall short of the playoffs.
