  1. This is what I want! Also fear if the Canucks have him go back to junior next year he just sticks it out in college and signs wherever he wants. He could either sign with Vancouver after his third year of college or he could play one more season and sign wherever he wants as a free agent. He's ready for pro just sign him and Boeser once their seasons are done.
  2. This might be the best bidding war player that should be on the market! I don't think you'll find a better bang for buck player at the deadline and he's also locked up for next season. If Hansen isn't moved it would be another huge fail.
  3. Rumour is the Mets are aggressively trying to move one of Bruce or Granderson. Might be able to snag either one in a Liriano type deal where we get some prospects by taking on all the salary. I like the idea of something like this. Maybe something around Smoak for Bruce and propects. Then sign Bats for first base or even Saunders and collect the compensation pick on Bats.
  4. Maybe the Jays include Smoak in any sort of deal and sign Bautista to a 1rst base DH role and Pearce takes most of his reps in the outfield.
  5. Due to the lack of exposure I feel like after these world juniors Liljegren will be looked at on everybody's list as a top 2 in this upcoming draft. Unless we're picking Nolan Patrick if we have the chance to take Liljegren and pass on him I'll be very sad.
  6. I'm just wondering if the Canucks find themselves at a spot where Liljegren is available and they pass on him because now our weakness for prospects is a top end centre.
  7. Its really tough to point fingers in any direction over the EE situation. Jays brass set their deadline early so that they wouldn't lose in a bidding war over EE further into the FA signing period only to find that all other viable options (Morales) had been signed as well. On the EE side of things I thought the market for him would surpass the 20 million average as well. Just sucks how it all played out because I loved EE. However at the end of the day with how the salaries play out Morales and Pearce over EE isn't too bad at all and we get that 1rst round compensation pick.
  8. Kids got dangles! Some very encouraging highlights seeing the offensive upside.
  9. Well there were two sides. But there were some fans that said they'd rather have Baertschi.
  10. The averages are weighed down because to start the year Sutter was there and Vrbata was in the top six. It took maybe a third of the season for Vrbata to just get moved out of the top 6 entirely and Baertschi was used on the top 2 lines with decent PP time.
  11. This better be the game plan here. I can't stand seeing kids you want to develop into offensive stars lose their confidence and development playing 8 minutes a game playing on the 4th line.
  12. I suggested flipping Baertschi and a 2nd or 3rd round pick for Drouin when he was at his lowest point and got flamed hard. Flamed hard in thinking this was a terrible deal for the Canucks.
  13. Like I said before the season started as good as Baertschi looked on the puck last year he wasn't very effective production wise. Was mostly used in the top 6 and he produced at a 33 point rate over an 82 game season as a 23 year old. Don't be sold on Baertschi as a sure fire top 6 player in our future.
  14. Boeser is gonna look great next year on the Canucks playing beside Nolan Patrick :p!
  15. I want the Cubs to win. The Jays didn't play up to their potential and to have the team I feel they could and should have beat win would suck. At least if Chicago wins I can think "well they probably would have beat us too".
  16. Hopefully management can move a couple of the veterans to make room for some of this youth.
  17. Been absent from the forum for awhile but how about OUR JAYS!
  18. Smoak in the lineup tonight. I'm not looking forward to watching him strikeout 3 times tonight haha.
  19. Yeah I'm with you. I wish all the bats didn't go cold and now theres a chance we might not even make the wildcard. Its really frustrating seeing our starting pitchers play so well only to lose because everybody is striking out trying to crush a home run. Only to return next at bat with the same approach making average pitchers look elite. I'm scared for what Jays show up even if we make the wild card.
  20. Baltimore is finishing their season off in New York with the Yankees just having swept Boston. Hopefully the Yanks take all three against Baltimore.
  21. Would really like to see Gibby put Dickey in a couple games out of the pen for an inning or two just to see if he could be an effective option.
  22. With our 3 best pitchers on the mound. Meaning next series Dickey is gonna have a game :S.
  23. We got the wrong Upton. I'd rather see what Pompey can do for the rest of this game then keeping Upton in the game.
