So Davidi thinks we are still looking for a starter and possibly an outfielder.

I wonder who were looking at.

 

[SDig14]

I thought Ben Revere would be a great add for us if that idiot in philly is ready to talk reasonable prices.

He can lead off, brings speed, can play CF or LF and gets on base and hits.

Revere
Donaldson
Joey Bats
Tulo
Edwin
Martin
Cola/Smoak
Pillar
Travis/Goins

Dwight Smith, Mitch Nay, & Connor Greene to Washington for Zimmerman (w/extension) and Harper.

Don't watch baseball, who does David Price compare to in the NHL?

Gerrardo Perra looks like a good fit for left.

This won't end well because a bunch of people will tell you that sport-to-sport comparisons don't really work (and in fairness, they don't)

Hockey-baseball comparisons suck but if I had to I would say Lundqvist.

It will end when all of us start responding with: Wayne Gretzky.

Meant Tyson Ross btw

In B4 "you can't compare the two it's ignorant" freak out

For real though it's almost impossible to compare the impact of a starting pitcher who only plays 1/5 games. But if we want to talk about ranking/talent at his position... Carey Price. Unquestionable top 5 at his position in the prime of his career

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Leake would be ideal. Slots in nicely behind Price. Ross is a pipedream but is probably the best pitcher available with team control(I don't think the Indians are serious about dealing their starters). With Saunders possibly back by September and Pompey playing well again, I'm not sure we really need another outfielder IMO. If we do, a leadoff hitter who hits RHP would be ideal.

 

[Gargyn]

Still think they go hard after Ross and Kimbrel. Bring up Pompey. Call it a day.

 

[Canada4Gold]

don't need a left fielder. Call up Pompey. Wouldn't mind a starter though

Have them throw in Jay Bruce and then we can score all the runs in baseball

Toronto's on Bruce's NTC list.

 

[canucksfan]

Twins won and Astros won. Yanks still playing

I think they can get by without a starter if they feel Stroman can help in september. He's the wildcard in all of this. I think AA will look to add a SP with control if a deal is out there but Stroman could possibly be the best "rental" we can add to this group.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Then he can enjoy watching the Jays from his living room come October.

Kimbrel that is all.

I think Angels might fall back to the pack in the wild card chase....Astros look like they are set to take over that division with the moves they made.

Jays are only 4 games back of the Angels.

 

[Shimso]

-We get Tulo
-He gets a home run in his second AB of his debut and we win
-Drake destroys Meek Mill with a photo Joe Carter's WS HR against Philly the day that the Jays beat Philly
-Jays get Price
-Jays win against KC
-Baltimore loses

Pretty good few days, I'd have to say.

 

[TootooTrain]

I don't know why you guys want Bruce anyway. A defensive first option that can hit a little bit should be the priority. In other words, Pompey.

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

You should start.
