So you think we are going to be able to trade JPA, Lind, Bonifacio and prospects for Joe Mauer? You do realize Mauer is one of the best hitters in baseball right?

I am not saying we have anywhere near as good of a farm system as we did 12 months ago, or that it is anywhere near the best in baseball. However, I don't think you can say we have totally depleted...

Not a chance I would trade DD for a pick in this years draft. He is turning into a GREAT scorer. At the end of last year he even looked comfortable out behind the 3pt line. I think we need to give...

Man, I thought we had pitching problem. 11 starting pitchers over the first 2 months, and calling up someone drafted less than a year ago. The Orioles are more desperate than us it seems.

Dunedin beat Syndergaard 5-3 with 7 hits off of him in 5.2 IP.

Burns: 3-4 with a 2B,HR and 2 SB's (he now has 16)..as as a and a CS and fielding error
Berti: 1-3 with 2 SB's (he is now 23 for...

I don't know if I would call his D "stellar". He doesn't have the chase down speed of someone like Desmond Jennings that we are getting to see this week, and he doesn't have a pistol for an arm...

He has a .303 OBP with 59 K's in 42 games (141 AB's).......Sure he can hit the occasional bomb, but I don't think he has done anything yet to make everyone jump aboard the "Colby train".


Colby...

The thing about FA is, no matter how much money you throw at a player, they still need to choose to come north of the border to play here on a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 20 years. I...

I don't get this move at all... Sierra made WAY more sense. You could put him in the lineup against LHP and DH Melky. Gose isn't hitting much at all, and he really can't hit LHP. Unless we are going...

Schimpf went 2-4 with 2 HR's (2-run and 3-run) and another BB yesterday in NH's 7-3 win over Portland.
Carreno came in to get the last 5 outs and struck out all 5 batters he faced.


Josh...

Davis vs. LHP :

2013: .343/.395/.486
2012: .285/.345/.437
2011: .288/.367/.463

How much better do you think you are going to get then someone who can steal 40+ bases and post an OPS over...

I don't see what a new GM will be able to do with this roster and its current lack of flexibility...

We don't have much cap space, and we most likely won't have a 1st round pick this year. Is this...

We are starting to build some good bullpen depth in AAA with Wagner, Stilson and McGowan all pitching there now.

Wagner has dominated AA hitters so far this season.

17.2 IP
1.02 ERA
0.91...

A few things:

1- I don't dispute AA saying he wanted to build a solid farm system, I simply am saying we don't really know how he planned on using it to maintain a competitive team. Did you really...

The strange thing about JPA is that it is the lefties that are killing him. He has an OPS of .831 against RHP, but a measly .513 with 0 HR's against left handers. He hit southpaw's better then right...

Notable performances from last night:

Buffalo (W 6-4)
Gose: 1-3 with 2 BB's
Sierra:1-4 with a SB
(we already saw Romero's line so I won't bother posting that)

NH (L 4-15)
Pillar: 3-5 with...

Kaepernick, Crabtree and Gore :)

HBP are normally listed at the bottom of a boxscore when they happen, not lumped in with BB's. Pretty positive he just walked 5 times in a single game.


As for Osuna....how the hell is he going...

I don't i would really do much differently at all on March 15th if I was AA. No one could predict that almost our entire staff would be hurt again at the same time. Or that Jose Reyes would destroy...

I think you are assuming too much. How do we know that the strategy was ever to only draft and develop from within? Maybe AA saw how hard it was to get premium FA's to sign north of the border, so he...

yes, all the people that said a platoon between those 2 would work great are all looking like they knew what they were talking about.... :)

strange how the only big on the 1st place team is Davis. There was no 1st team Center. I agree though that JV should have gotten the nod ..

My 5 would have been:

JV
Davis
Barnes
Beal
Lillard

^^ well Ortiz has had 2 solid starts for us so far. not saying it is ideal, but if he can pull a Carlos Villanueva and be our best starter for a month or so that could really help us. His energy on...

I think Wiggins is actually a SF and not a SG. If we do land him while Gay is still on the roster, you play Rudy as a stretch 4 , Wiggins at the 3 and Derozan at the 2.. I still don't see us winning...

In the month of May the Jays are now 5th in runs scored in the AL (one behind Cleveland who has played an extra game). We are 4th in AVG, and tied for 4th in OBP.

Bautista is on fire hitting...
