    Re: 2013 Toronto Blue Jays

    What is this Atlanta-Toronto alliance? I'm partially interested since most of my friends are Braves fans from Mississippi. I don't know if I could sell them on Steve Delabar... seeing as they might still not know who he is even after that 4-game series.

Picking up 2 wins in 2.5 months is not impossible, especially if they actually win the games in the division they need to, those extra wins might not be needed. And the way we've played against Texas, a one-game playoff against them sounds good to me!
        We were so bad today against Minnesota (6-0 loss; Reyes getting picked off, Izturis getting doubled off first on a terrible read) I've given up hope. I just don't see us getting out of the AL East basement. I thought we would get a big boost when Reyes returned but it hasn't happened yet.

        I was at the game today and after Dickey allowed the double in the seventh inning, he was at about 94 pitches. I was like that's a decent outing (6 IP, 3 ER), I guess he's gone now. I look in the bullpen and realize no one was warming up. They started warming up after the double. Dickey walks the next batter and I think it was Izturis who walked over to the mound. I figure they're trying to buy time for the bullpen. I thought there is no way, he pitches to the next batter. Sure enough he pitches to the next batter and Dozier launches the home run. No idea what Gibbons was thinking.

        By the way it was so hot at the stadium today, I could have cooked a hot dog on my forehead.

            Good win by the Jays today. It was nice to see the offense explode after getting shut out yesterday.

              Jose Reyes and Rajai Davis hitting bombs. Is the end nigh?

              I'm surprised by how much pop Reyes has. He's on pace for 19 per 600 PA, fwiw.

                Reyes had some pop in his early/mid 20s with 19, 12, 16 HRs between '06-'08 so i'm not that surprised by the power especially since he's playing in a hitter's park.

                  People talking about if Jays should be buyers or sellers, I think they shouldn't really be either.

                  While this season has been huge disappointment so far,we know the problems with the Jays, so just work on fixing the problems the Jays have instead of just completely blowing things up. What would it say to the fans?
                  "We've been rebuilding for ___ years, then got rid of many prospects in order to compete right now, but after a few months we changed our minds, so now we're rebuilding again for another ___ years and you fans can just wait another __ years to see this team possibly be playoff contenders..........But still come to our games."
                  I'm not saying trading away the prospects in offseson was a bad move. The thing that would make this past offseason seem horrible would be to just give up on them halfway through an injury filled season,trading away guys during a time when many guys are worth less now than during most of their MLB career. Buy high,sell low....that's exactly what Jays would be doing if they think about blowing up this team.

                  Doesn't mean we shouldn't trade anyone, it does mean though that if Jays do make trades, it should be addressing the issues we've encountered this season. It's been said many times before, this Jays team is just to good to be doing bad. On paper, this is a great team, but things just haven't been clicking consistently. I think it'd be much better/smarter to fix our current problems, then rebuild for future and encounter new problems.

                    If we don't sign a stupid amount of pitching this offseason, I dunno what to say. It's an obvious weakness. Ramon ****ing Ortiz started how many games for us?

                      Re: 2013 Toronto Blue Jays

                      SP,C,2B are really the main focuses Jays need to address in offseason(in that order).

                      Dickey,Morrow,Buehrle are ones I'd keep, hopefully Happ can recover and go back to normal, and our other injured SP could get shots too, but Jays should still be prepared like crazy. Have a MLB worthy rotation in AAA!


                      On baseball central they talked about moving Lawrie back to 2B. I wouldn't mind that, but only if it's because it's much easier for Jays to get a starting 3B over a starting 2B. Would be funny if Jays could sign Cano,but no way should/could anyone compete with Yankees in bidding war.

                        Great read on the Jays' prospects, although Barreto and Osuna weren't included for whatever reason.

                          I don't see Cano leaving the east though.

                            Lawrie will be playing 2B for Buffalo.

                              Anywho, I think the Jays need to get tons of pitching in the offseason, as for the trade deadline they should make what amounts to lateral moves that have a long term benefit but if AA can go all ninja on a GM then I say go for it.

                              At least starting this offseason EVERY pitcher will be on the weighted ball program and the couple of guys who have been on it already for the Jays are doing quite well for themselves injury wise so hopefully that'll help.
