getting close to completion. Big coup for the Mapl...um, I mean the Jays.

[ORS]

That team will be hell on wheels against LHP. Hopefully the Yankees sign Zito.

[example1]

Bah. He's not going to improve Toronto that much, as far as I can tell.

[jacksonianmarch]

They really couldnt use 37HR and 110 RBI, nah, that isnt useful or anything.

[Beckett95]

3 years???

10 million a year??

 

I mean i know he was great last year, but hes going to be 39 and he's not the most durable player in baseball.

[Beckett95]

the A's offered Thomas 2 years at 8 million back in October.

 

He could be a good pickup for Toronto, but not for that money.

I didn't say he wouldn't help them. I just don't think he's going to be the difference between Toronto making the playoffs and not. It's all about pitching.

 

You are a cynical bastard, aren't you jacksonianmarch? :harhar:

[riverside sluggers]

It is scary to think about having to face this 3-4-5: Wells, Glaus, Thomas

yes I am my friend.

 

2yrs 23 mil. LOTS of money there. This could signal the end of Vernon Wells in toronto.

If they get rid of Wells I will be very happy.

So will Josh Beckett

Are you really a cynical bastard Jackson? Well, it looks like I've found by blood brother on this board. You know what, though? I am amazed that the A's aren't trying like mad to keep this guy. Their offensive attack is questionable as it is and will be only weaker if they don't keep this bopper or get one to take his place. Good pitching can only take you so far if you don't have the means to score a few runs for them.

[TheKilo]

Too much money for too fragile a player.

 

JP has gone nuts the last two offseasons.

According to ESPN this evening, Oakland is looking into Barry Bonds.

 

would not have expected that, if indeed its true.

[schillingouttheks]

2 yrs / $18M ? Holy hell.

[BudLight]

Money well spent by the Jays when you consider teams are considering J.D. "DL" Drew at $12M or more per year.
