Blue Jays Discussion: Almost time for real baseball

[Brown Dog]

I don't think we lost that much power. Morales can crush close to 40 bombs playing 81 games at the RC. 81 games at the RC as opposed to 81 games at Kauffman, that's a big difference.

I can't see Morales coming close to 40 HR. I would bet the under on 30, even.

Keep tepera and send bolsinger down. Nobody will claim him

40 HR is asking too much, not to many players will get that, if no injuries, he'll probably get 25 -30.

He had 30 last season playing at Kauffman Stadium. Why can't he come close to 40? He is getting more than 30 homers if he stays healthy. More games at Yankee Stadium, more games at Fenway, more games at Oriole Park. That adds up to more than 30 homers to me.

I agree with this.

 

[Summer Rose]

It's about that time to get excited for opening day, watch the first 5 games religiously, realise there are 157 more of them, and get distracted by the NHL playoffs instead for a while.

Does that sound about right?

Bolsinger on waivers according to Sportsnet.

Tepera I guess gets the last spot alongside Osuna, Grilli, Loup, Smith, Biagini and Howell. I haven't watched much spring training, so I have no idea how good of a bullpen that is compared to last year.

Good to see some homegrown talent in there though.

Per Buster Olney, the Jays are looking for alternatives to Upton and he won't make the team

Weird turn of events. Coming into the spring it seemed like they wanted to find a way to keep both him and Zeke on the roster, and now it appears they're actively looking for ways to dump Upton. Makes you wonder if he did something during the spring off the field they didn't like.

What's happening with Pompey? Too injured for a spot? Goes with the Jays signing Chris Coghlan to a minors deal today I guess... Provide insurance for Pompey + take his spot in the minors or even a major league spot himself. Although I'd rather have Pearce in LF until Pompey comes back than Coghlan and then just let someone like Goins stick around a little bit longer in the meantime.

 

[Woodman19]

I wonder if that means we are getting Pagan.

Id like this. Then be can lead off or hit 9th. Travis leadoff or 9th. Its like having 2 leadoff batters

Had a concussion 3 weeks ago and we've heard nothing. Presumably he's still not doing anything.

When he's healthy, rehab in Buffalo and probably stay there unless he rips the cover off the ball and forces a callup unfortunately.

Bolsinger searching his name on twitter to tell blogger sites off?



Unfortunately Boldingerz you can't really eliminate a 2 game sample to suit your story, especially when you only have a 9 game sample and more especially when it's the final 2 games before spring when you're supposed to be at your best

That's hilarious, what a goof. His wife/gf/sister sure is attractive though!

you'd have to think there's more to the story but i'm sure any small market team wouldn't mind him at 2 million..

Not to mention that as spring progresses the young kids are gone and your facing more professional bats. Today he faced mostly big league talent and got knocked around.

1 million.

upton stinks. and he's a headcase too.

So pumped!

Interesting about Upton, but won't be sad to see him go

http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?p=130236623#post130236623

Upton made a poor impression down the stretch last year in Toronto, where he hit just .196/.261/.318 in 165 post-trade plate appearances. He followed that up with another weak line, .194/.216/.472, in 36 spring at-bats.

This definitely has to be PT (no interest in platoon) or locker room related
