  1. working a lot eh ? you do know that jb has a bonus clause in his contract should the jays attendance reach certain thresholds i also heard a rumor that he is entitled to half of your income over a certain threshold can you please let us know what that threshold is? the reports i have read are a bit sketchy on that point
  2. it is not offensive it can be viewed in a complimentary manner as well you are just reading it negatively i am a huge burrows supporter . ,. always have been posted in the preseason that he needed to play with bo that happened.. and it was all good for a couple months i think if burrows read this post title he would simply view it as another challenge and use it for motivation it is actually a good title when referring to burrows.. since he was so underrated by fans here
  3. Olerud had a brain aneurism that was operated on and as a result his skull was a bit more fragile so he always wore a protective helmet
  4. provided you accept that what you are being told is accurate the counterpoint to the boras view of life is the jays position that an increase was rejected and they were left with no other option boras just wants the jays to do things his way .. and they are unwilling.. that is the conclusion to be drawn.. not that boras' client was being lowballed
  5. i agree with this the contract end of things is just business every team has its own business models as do agents boras is particularly prickly and tries to create emotive reactions from fans to bolster his client's position i find him irritating as he generates a lot of empty noise this stuff should just be dealt with quietly in the back rooms and not in public but that is just not how boras rolls
  6. i nominate skategal to be a mod
  7. yes they have the money but spending it on price was just so unwise he has never been a playoff performer and he proved that again last season
  8. don't be stupid there was nothing to talk about he want 30 million over a long term he is not worth that but some other team thought he was 5 x 20 - 22 million would have been worth talking about but he would have been insulted
  9. i'm pretty content with the new management you think jb is justified in being angry because he should have a say in management? cuz AA was moved on? or what is it you are saying ? jb has done well as a jay financially i still have no idea why he should be justifiably angry at the jays do explain
  10. and the team was correct for refusing to do so and EE (i assume you meant him) and JB were both proven to be incorrect in their views so let's just accept reality now
  11. anger towards managment for what ? they both .. he and management .. signed a contract that contained risk he was unproven still and got a longer term deal for good money he just managed to out perform his contract (this happens less often than it should in my view) if he did not perform to his contract he would not be offering a refund to the team (the failure to perform to the contract level happens more often than it should) he got rich being a jay.. and yes.. could have earned more if everyone could have forecasted the future accurately that does not entitle him to another long term deal at his age and the dollars he was seeking was crazy i do not see any reasonable basis for jb to be angry.. it is just his ego
  12. i kinda would like a jb with a bit more loyalty and a little less "me first" persona so let's see what he dose after this season if he in fact plays well.. ..
  13. i kinda would like a jb with a bit more loyalty and a little less "me first" persona so let's see what he does after this season if he in fact plays well.. .. let's see if he is clear he realistically wants to remain with the team
  14. wow is this the same guy who made the wildly outrageous demands during spring training 2016? i guess he got a rude wake up call during this past off season and maybe grew up and bit and reorganized his priorities would be nice to have jb with a bit less ego oozing out of every pore
  15. not sure about that . maybe someone else knows but he does have attendance bonuses in his contract
  16. i like the moves caps are going to be solid this year better balanced team and good investments in mls proven players too bad about yordy though . was curious to see him play a few games in a row
  17. wow, it's barely spring training season does not start for weeks and you are already overly concerned ? i'm betting donaldson will be starting at third base and fine on opening day take a chill pill he tweaked his calf muscle by all reports
  18. looks like buono and lions are pushing hard to sell tickets by bringing an offensive show to bc place the team is also looking for new ownership.. so the asset has to have a better fan base to attract a better selling price the d really does need some work now not sure how much cap space is left to address that but man .. with our gun slinging qb and the cadre of high end receivers the games will not be boring might be high scoring for both teams if the d remains weak on the lions
  19. i agree why is everyone needing to second guess what is actually going on look at the current trend i think rogers has learned that if they spend on the club they earn it back from fan interest and if they keep this up the jays will become the nations team they have the biggest market of any mlb team if you include the country they'd be stupid to not try to maximize that
  20. you cannot compare the starting payroll this year with the end of year payroll last season.. that is simply unfair payroll is up over 15 million compared to the start of last year the jays will likely add an additional 10 to 20 million in payroll over the course of the season if the team performs well enough payroll is going up fairly significantly year to year
  21. i am not convinced payroll went up again this year and up even more to sign jb just because he was with cleveland where their payroll is more limited does not mean that will be the model imposed on him in toronto
  22. you are a bit of a debby downer sort you expect new management not to work with the existing roster? they have been there for only a bit over a year so it is likely they'd have most of the existing team they really improved the starting rotation. .no luck there i think but go on and be a glass half full sorta guy . . must be a permanent cloud over your head
  23. pretty bloody condescending me thinks why can't you just give them credit for being shrewd they took calculated risks and the starting rotation was excellent you do not know what they saw in those players so you think they are not astute
  24. does anyone know if the fredy montero rumours are confirmed now i thought i read he is signed by the caps an excellent signing if this in fact has happened and if so, i'm happy that finally we have a real striker again
