  1. if they sign Bats that will be it for position players...except for a backup catcher which will be a nobody on Thole level....and a few Pitchers for the pen....I doubt they address the leadoff position outside of the organization...look for more of the same next year.
  2. yes...talented dude..The James Gang and of course one of the most underrated LPs..."The Smoker You Drink the Player You Get"

      I don't blame him. I get the feeling that whenever he joins in a game of pick up with regular people he's targeted by people trying to get their 5 min of fame. No doubt it gets tiring 

  6. has to be something better out there than some guy pitching 15 innings in the last 2 years..2 innings last year..I guess because he is a lefty. Its obviously someone Atkins and Shapiro know about from their Cleveland days
  7. Here come the bargain bin relievers.... The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to sign left-handed pitcher T.J. House, according to a report from Darren Wolfson of ESPN 1500 in Minnesota. The 27-year-old House pitched just 2.2 innings last year, and 15 innings over the past two seasons with the Cleveland Indians. House had a solid 2014 with Cleveland, finishing with a 3.35 ERA in 102 innings over 18 starts and one relief appearance. House has battled a shoulder injury and astigmatism in one eye the past two seasons. House posted a 3.98 ERA over 72.1 innings with Cleveland's AAA affiliate in Columbus. Looks like Bats probably wont be back either... Free agent slugger Jose Bautista might have to accept a significant discount if he fancies a return to Toronto. In fact, he’ll likely have to accept an offer he had previously rejected. The Blue Jays brass has reportedly informed the free-agent slugger that the one-year, $17.2 million (all funds U.S.) qualifying offer he had rejected after the World Series is as high as the club is willing to go, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports. Toronto has reportedly remained in contact with Bautista’s agent as the two sides had met during last week’s Winter Meetings. After initially seeking a reported five-year deal in the neighbourhood of $150-million, Bautista was reportedly willing to accept a two-year deal with Boston before the Red Sox opted to sign 1B/DH Mitch Moreland.
  8. Sam Gagner  bargain basement pickup at 1 year- $650,000...3rd star of the week.

      After all that time in Edmonton I can't help but feel happy for him, he could have been better if he'd started elsewhere. Good for him.

      Don Maloney blew him out of Phoenix...said he wasn't an NHL caliber centre..and Philly didn't resign him  ...Making them all look wrong

      Mhmm, I'm hoping he can keep it up. He'll get a deal with term if he can, I just hope he can string some productive seasons together and shut everyone up.

  9. yes and I even forgot Revere..although all of this is hypothetical..food for thought
  10. maybe its time to play Bats at 1st if he comes on board..he is a pretty good fielder...that would leave pearce for the OF..,,,I think they are going to have to trade an OF or 2 and Pillar might have to sit a game or 2 like everyone else...it pisses me off that he plays every game and all the other OFs alternate.....it could become far to crowded....Bats..Upton...Zeke..pillar..Pearce..Pompey Revere
  11. I tend to agree..that lineup and when you factor in Upton and Pearce should be a playoff team...we need a capable back up catcher and a couple of BP arms...I wonder if they are holding off on a catcher because of Pentacost...but they would need to sign another for insurance...you cant bank on a rookie.
  12. I would say its just a matter of signing...If the Jays sign Bats and a leadoff guy..ie...Revere..I would be extremely happy...of course we need a few more pieces..but it would be a solid statement.
  13. Jon Morosi Verified account ‏@jonmorosi José Bautista's agent, Jay Alou, spoke with #BlueJays GM Ross Atkins on final day of winter meetings; sides have remained in contact. @MLB
  14. I dont feel as hopeful as you...I think its just to much pop leaving ...last year they barely made the wild card...but a true leadoff guy would go a long way....which they didnt have all of last year and as for whinning ...I just dont really want to accept the party line so if my posts come across as such its because ill need to be shown the Jays have done well in the off season but Im not a Rogers shill and wont give them credit for basic moves that I think are all money oriented.
  15. I understand all this ..but what Im getting at is just to get to a basic non playoff roster there is work to be done..
  16. OUT IN Brett Cecil Pearce Morales Oberholzer R.A. Dickey Joaquin Benoit Jose Bautista Scott Feldman Edwin Encarnacion Dioner Navarro Michael Saunders Darwin Barney Gavin Floyd Chris Colabello Josh Thole Still need a back up catcher and relief help...not exactly setting the world on fire.
  17. not a fan of either team..but I wont lie..I was hoping Seattle in the shootout bigtime.
  18. NEW YORK — Lamar Jackson was trying to remember the last time he cried. He was pretty sure it involved losing a little league football game. On Saturday night, Louisville's spectacular sophomore quarterback found out winning can get a guy choked up, too. Jackson became the first Louisville player to win the Heisman Trophy, beating out preseason favourite Deshaun Watson of Clemson despite some late-season struggles. Watson, who finished third last season, was a distant second. Baker Mayfield finished third and Oklahoma teammate and fellow finalist Dede Westbrook was fourth. Michigan's Jabrill Peppers was fifth. I was pissed Browning wasn't even a finalist..playing in the PAC12 has its drawbacks.
  19. Im with you..if there arent anymore QUALITY moves...this team is fooling itself...or better yet ..the public.
  20. from what I see its supposed to rain later today and tomorrow .... all next week with warmer temps and sunshine...Ill believe it when I see it.
