Completely agree with this... had this thought even without Carrera playing well. Travis with another moronic running of the bases. Jays seriously need someone standing at second base to tackle these guys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could get a nice haul for Bats..maybe a known starting pitcher/reliever and an outfielder....Bats will probably be gone at the end of the season anyway..cant see them resigning him for the money he will command...he is actually clogging the outfield up some...as I say ..Saunders should not be subbed for Carrera..he is in the top 10 BAs in the league.

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) It's tough to trade a guy like Bats in the middle of the season, how it will affect the rest of the team.... I could see it causing a negative effect on the team and I think it's to risky to attempt. Plus I want to see a bat flip in playoffs against Texas Edited June 18, 2016 by ChuckNORRIS4Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, it wouldn't bother me one bit if they moved Tulo along. Barney and Goins both are fantastic at short. The Jays wouldn't exactly be losing anything defensively and their bats are no worse than Tulos for a fraction of the cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) Glad Dickey held them to only 3. But now we've got no runs for him again! Ehh. Looks like they're done. Weaker part of the line up coming too. Edited June 18, 2016 by Tortorella's Rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Was thinking about this a week ago, but was wondering why the offense is never really there when Dickey pitches. I have a gut feeling it's because it's such a slow boring game when he pitches, and the teams minds mentally are just not into the game from boredom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this just me? Does it matter? Travis never plays shortstop and you don't need a big arm to play 2nd. His bat more than makes up the difference, IMO. 1 hour ago, ShakyWalton said: They will stick with Dickey until the game is frittered away and there is no coming back. I just have no confidence in this guy at all. Once again Dickey gets no respect. A quality start and no run support. (as usual) Bases loaded with one out and Smoak swings at three pitches well out of the strike zone. Tulo comes up and is caught looking at a borderline strike. Travis with a bonehead baserunning error that cost the Jays a run and then JD swinging at a borderline pitch, with bases loaded against a guy who was struggling to find the plate... ...but yeah, lets blame Dickey again...

I will agree he had no run support at all today...if he had a quarter of what Sanchez had last night he would have won..it didnt start out that way and looked like what I have seen many times before..Im not a fan of Dickey..never have been ..never will be..I guess that will have to be enough for you.

Personally I'm "not a fan" of a few players, But I understand when they are and they aren't earning their keep. I suppose you and I will have to agree to disagree on Dickey as far as that goes. I remember you and I (and few other CDCers) disagreeing about the value of 200 innings per season. With the impending move of Sanchez to the pen, I wonder if you stand by that assertion? TBH, I worry more about Stroman than Dickey these days. I guess we'll see about that tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny..Sanchez is on pace for 200 innings..he is one of the team leaders I think..if he goes to the pen someone will have to chew up the innings....agree about Stroman..hasnt looked that good lately..TBH he should be the one going to the pen if current stats are any indication..

Sean Monahan Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 To those talking about trading Tulo: he has a no trade clause that kicked in when he was traded to Toronto. I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to get him to waive if you could send him back west, where he's spent his whole life until last year I believe, but it's something to consider and on the topic of Dickey eating innings: I admit he can do that, and at times he can actually be very good, but the same can be said of many other pitchers who come at a much cheaper price tag. That's my issue with Dickey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Well I guess one good thing for today, don't have to worry about Machado getting a hit against the Jays today. I swear he's like the new Ortiz against the Jays always hits against us. Orioles infielder Manny Machado will begin to serve a four-game suspension for charging the mound and punching Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura on June 7. Machado dropped his appeal of the penalty Saturday after getting three hits against Toronto. ''Let's just get this past us already and keep playing baseball,'' he said. The two-time All-Star is batting .317 with 17 homers and 42 RBIs. The suspension will end his streak of 229 consecutive starts, the longest current string in the majors.

Cant say as I am broken hearted..but damn Machado is a good player..Donaldson will have a hard time repeating as MVP with this kid around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) The glut of middle infielders is already filtering down..Barney playing 3rd today and JD dhing so to keep Barney playing...means EE over to 1st...not liking this situation...I really think one has to go.
