i wonder if we can get edwin on a smaller deal since it looks no one wants him.
Baautista in RF again is asking for trouble. I don't think he can throw the ball home any better than a toddler at this point.
Counteract Boston and NYY going with pitching with putting together the most potent lineup in MLB history
Having Joey and EE back on this team at a discounted price I would be all over it. We have the defensive replacements necessary for late innings in Upton and Carrera. Should not be an issue.
And secondively, that might not even be the best Jays lineup of the last three years let alone the best lineup for any team ever.
I'd be very comfortable with that lineup.To be honest with how the market has shifted, Blue Jays management should be taking advantage of this and going to ownership and asking for an increase in payroll as our opportunity to win is the next 2 years with this core.
Anything short of this is bad management by Atkins and Shapiro.
There isn't a market for both EE and Joey. Get a bump in payroll of 35 million for the next 2 years and bring them both back.
Counteract Boston and NYY going with pitching with putting together the most potent lineup in MLB history:
Bautista - RF
Travis - 2B
Donaldson - 3B
EE - 1B
Morales - DH
Tulo - SS
Pearce - LF
Martin - C
Pillar - CF
I can live with that lineup for a 2 year span and our pitching staff.
Seats will be filled every game, and playoffs revenue for the next 2 seasons. What else does Rogers want????
Get it done
For me, we need a good outfielder more than a DH and bringing back EE or Jose means we can't get one.
Eh you can bring one back and still have room for a OF
Bring me a mediocre contact hitting LF (Angel Pagan-ish) and EE and I'm pretty happy.
Am I the only "hipster" who wouldn't take Jose back for free? lol
I don't see how you wouldn't take one of EE/Jose back on a one year deal (obviously Jose in this case).
You don't have an everyday 1B right now (Steve Pearce jajajaja)
You're laughing at his injury history, I assume?
