    They would certainly be selling high on him, but we should be able to get him without breaking the bank.
  2. a700hitter
    I bundle them all together. They are all overpaid knuckleheads. It is just a matter of degree.
  3. a700hitter
    Don't take it so personally. I have little regard for any of the overpaid FO knuckleheads in MLB. Anyone with some business savy can eat their lunch.

    I agree. I think we can land a #4/5 pitcher, maybe a couple of them without mortgaging our future. We supposedly have such a deep farm of prospects. We should have enough chips to get it done. I am not looking for them to get Price and Tulo. Rich Hill or Pomeranz would suit me just fine.

    They are the team for us to beat in the second half imo. Their offense is just starting to get rolling. Bautista will be back from injury and they have better pitching than us.

    My only point was that if the Jays could land 2 premier players and an All Star reliever at the trading deadline, we can land a # 4 and #5 without mortgaging our future. I am not interested in excuses by the FO if thy don't get it done. As for the Jays, they are probably the strongest team in the ALE. Dickey has put up solid and consistent performances over his tenure with the Blue Jays. Yeah Noah looks like a stud, and I hope that he will be a stud, but that one trade will not undo the Jays. He has been experiencing a dead arm and he has bone spurs in his elbow. So, who knows how long he will last. Here's the scoop on d'Arnaud. He had better step up the offense and learn to play another position, because he couldn't throw out that 103 year old woman that ran the bases in Toronto last week. Swihart is Johnny Bench compared to d'Arnaud.

    It was more of a horror show before the last few years when they tried to build with prospects and didn't want to mortgage their future. Their fans were waiting for the future for 20 years.

    The overpays for Dice k and Lugo were extreme.
  9. a700hitter
    Babe, anyone in pinstripes is Yankee trash. Ortiz is becoming overly sentimental in his final year.
  10. a700hitter
    And if the twits in the FO to your suggested negotiation approach with this twat, I have no doubt they he would already be signed. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe DD has some balls. The last 2 GMs wold lose a negotiation with themselves.

    These guys are so desperate for drama that they dramatize everything. After a while, we realize that the drama is not all that dramatic. Sorry Joe. You suck and Smoltzy has no business being in a national booth.
  12. a700hitter
    Yankee trash Betances may blow this game for the AL.
  13. a700hitter
    Now you have lost me.
  14. a700hitter
    LOL! He must have been tough in school.
  15. a700hitter
    How many seasons has he pitched complete second halves?
  16. a700hitter
    Tha CYA narrative gets rolling at this time every year. They will whine about the cost. They always do. I'm not interested in their excuses. The Jays added Tulo, Price and an all star reliever last year at the Trading Deadline.

    Didnt Henry's hedge fund go broke. A dead person could run a professional baseball team and make money today -- no particular business acumen is needed. What they have had are some good baseball people that have helped bring the championships.
  18. a700hitter
    But there will be excuses nonetheless.
  19. a700hitter
    That's what the discussion was about for me. That is why I identified the biggest shortcoming on the team in need of correction. He is not A problem or THE problem. I have stated that we can win with a spotty Price. Also, if we fix the 4th and 5th spots, but that we cannot win if the 4th and 5th spots are not fixed even if Price pitches like Koufax. He is not THE or A problem for this team imo. I am getting tired of repeating myself. Has he had some troubles or problems? Yes. But he is not A problem or THE problem for this team. I stand by my opinion regarding Price and the 4th and 5th spots. You can declare victory if that makes you feel better.
  20. a700hitter
    The important thing about Buch is that even when healthy, his stuff is now diminished. He is not the same guy that he used to be.
  21. a700hitter
    The key is that they were half seasons. The team has to play a full season. So, performance is usually not measured in half seasons.
  22. a700hitter
    The question is who do you want to hand the ball at the end of the game, no numbers needed. Right now, I am leaning Kimbrel, but not by a lot.
  23. a700hitter
    I did not move any goal posts. I have repeatedly said two things: 1.If Price rights himself and we don't fix the 4 and 5 slots this team will go down the tubes regardless of whether Price wins the Cy Young award. 2. If DD fixes the 4 and 5 slots and Price continues to be spotty in the second half, this team will still make the playoffs. Hence, my conclusion that Price is not THE problem. I have always said THE problem meaning the critical problem. Those have been my goal posts. They have not and will not move. I never said that Price has been great or perfect, just that he is not THE problem. I repeat it and stand by it. The problem is the 4 and 5 slots. I am not engaging in a blame game which is really just a lot of whiny. I am calling out to the FO for the solution to a fixable problem, not whining that our ace has had 3 or 4 bad outings in the first half.
  24. a700hitter
    Not in the slightest. Just clarifying your misunderstanding.
  25. a700hitter
    You are playing some blame game if you identify Price as a problem. As I said earlier, the FO can't play any role in fixing Price. It is up to him whether he rights his ship. He is not going to be dropped from the rotation either. I identify problems that the FO can fix. Price is a top talent and I am pretty confident that he will fix himself. If you want to play the blame game, there is plenty to go around. Everyone has had a few bad games. Talent will find its own level. Stat heads are big on that ...no? There are no statistical projections for our #4 and 5 slots that give me encouragement, because we have nothing there.
