Blue Jays Discussion: You're a Blue Jay! And you're a Blue Jay! EVERYBODY'S A BLUE JAY! (deadline madness)

[TheTotalPackage]

Nothing like stepping away from the computer for 10 minutes and seeing 10 new pages pop up. Gets the juices flowing thinking you're going to stumble across more good news.

 

[Stats01]

Great deal for the Mets. They needed a bat and they got one.

 

[The Nemesis]

I have seen the future.

AA's upcoming press conference will just be this:

 

[Canada4Gold]

We have a fringe pitcher. His name is Drew Hutchison. We need a number 2 or 3 guy.

we have 5 guys including Hutch, next on the list is Copeland or Wolf. 2 or 3 would be nice but would cost a lot, you'd have to think we need some fringe guy in case someone gets hurt so Wolf's not starting

That's why losing doubront sucks

That was the risk in bringing him up in the first place. If he failed he would be gone. Need someone like that but someone we can stash in the minors

 

[Gargyn]

man people need to leave the poor guy alone

people act as if Hutchison is like 34 not going to improve. he is 24 only

Never said he wouldn't improve, but as of right now, when we are clearly all in and every game counts, he is not a guy that can be counted on.

 

[tml19]

AA better be on the phone getting cheap AAA pitching depth right now. I sure as hell don't want to see Copeland up here.

 

[FreeBird]

Watch Gibby play Colabello over Revere

Gibby has a soft spot for career minor leaguers, after all he was one.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Wow looks like Mets are getting Cespedes.

 

[p.l.f.]

Copeland was a nightmare

 

[Greek_physique]

nice move for the Mets as they are loaded with pitchers.

Is D.Wright ever coming back though?

 

[Gargyn]

Wow looks like Mets are getting Cespedes.

That was said last thread, wheeler the other way

 

[sparxx87]

@SNstats: #BlueJays Ben Revere has as many defensive runs saved this season as #Angels Mike Trout with 3, per @fangraphs http://t.co/I2B7A4kbsf

That's mainly in left though, right? I know he used to play centre.

 

[Cor]

Only two minor leaguers for Cespedes?

Wow

 

[Greek_physique]

Only two minor leaguers for Cespedes?

Wow

Wheeler is a good prospect though.

 

[mikebel111*]

Wheeler is staying

 

[Gargyn]

Only two minor leaguers for Cespedes?

Wow

Rosenthal had tweeted for wheeler earlier, done deal...weird if he was wrong.

 

[Mitchy]

Wheeler not part of the Cespedes deal, apparently.

 

[tp71]

In terms of finding a depth starter ala Doubront, there will probably be cannon fodder out the that AA can grab at any time for a start or two if he needs.

 

[tml19]

WTF, Mets kept Wheeler.

 

[Canada4Gold]

So, how's our top 20 prospects look going forward? Anyone care to list?

my personal list

1. Pompey
2. Alford
3. SRF
4. Pentecost
5. Harris
6. Tellez
7. Urena
8. Vlad Jr.
9. Nay
10. Smith Jr

MLB.com list is here, delete any guys traded today

http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2015?list=tor

They'll start Sanchez

for 2 innings, and then they'll go to the pen because Sanchez isn't stretched out

 

[sabresEH]

Thanks for the info Nem! Much appreciated. I've tried reading the fangraphs articles on all the advanced stats. Hurts my head after a while

 

[TF97]

Rosenthal had tweeted for wheeler earlier, done deal...weird if he was wrong.

I don't recall Kenny tweeting that out. Was it a fake account?

 

[Clark4Ever]

AA killed it this week. He has addressed all of the primary holes in the roster.

 

[tml19]

I don't recall Kenny tweeting that out. Was it a fake account?

Heyman did

 

[Cloned]

Gah it's gonna be agony waiting an hour for more deals to trickle through.

It'd be hilarious if AA had another blockbuster and it's not leaked yet.
