OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Home of the Water-Logged Baseball

[TNT87]

Yeah, the Tigers did good getting that back for him.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Steep, uh, cost for Toronto...but given the age of their core and the fact that they just added Tulowitzki to an already good club...I'd be okay with that if I were a Jays fan.

The Jays are a better team than their record would indicate...but they had serious deficiencies. Tulowitzki & Price go a long way to fix those. It's amazing to have a .500 record and a +100 run differential...they're Pythagorean W-L is 60-42. Price most definitely fills a bigger need as Toronto's pitching is, how do you say...****.

Toronto has scored 538 runs this year
Colorado leads the NL with 453 runs...

Yup, Jays don't really have a choice with that core. + Anthopoulos is also trying to save his job

 

[Penguins23]

They absolutely have to re-sign him to make this deal worth it. Or win the world series. Either one.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Lets raid SD for some arms... Ross and Benoit. Will settle for Shields and Quackenbush.

Napoli had another nice game last night, a homer and double against a lefty.

I'd love to get him, he wouldn't cost much of anything.

 

[ImporterExporter]

I think Napoli for a minor league depth player is fine. We have no 1B option to platoon vs LH pitching and given we'll likely see Bumgarner again, you could do worse.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Another thing to consider is you wouldn't have Cervelli for a wildcard game.

You just can't go into a wildcard game with Chris Stewart and Sean Rodriguez in your lineup.

And you also got Walker in your lineup who doesn't hit lefties.

I would truly hope in a 1 game situation Cervelli would be the backstop... but if it's worked so far this season I wouldn't doubt they would go with the "If it ain't broke..." mentality.

 

[Beauner]

IIRC he's pretty decent isn't he? Curious as to who we may be targeting.

Edit: nevermind he sucks. Carry on.

Who the hell would want that bum?

Aside from a tattoo enthusiast, of course.

There hasn't been a non-hockey related buzz like this in Canada since 1993. Feels good!

Vance has been DFA'd to make way for Joe Blandton

Well...that's...a...move.

The interesting thing is that he's likely to remain in the organization, and almost certainly will be back in September, if not before then.

Robertson!!

Robertson!!

Probably Sale.

 

[TNT87]

Probably Sale.

Maybe something from a garage sale.

 

[Winger for Hire]

White Sox send a tattoo gun and a case of Big League Chew to Pirates

 

[Beauner]

We need to at least get a bench bat or two before tomorrow. Sean Rodriguez cannot be you best bench option.

I like to see that too. The bench is horrendous.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Don't hate on tattooed guys

 

[cheesedanish87]

That would definitly be a big help to the bullpen.
