      Hopefully it is good enough. Put a "bandaid" on the problem that is our turf until things get fully fixed up in 2018.

      Once they get real grass at Rogers Centre, wonder how many players won't mind coming to Toronto since that seems to be THE reason as to why some guys put Jays on their no trade list. I mentioned it before,but even RA Dickey hated the old turf we had(when he first came to Toronto,that was the thing he knew about Rogers Centre the most), and he was a pitcher! Jays have a league wide reputation for the horrible playing surface, so once 2018 rolls around, it'll be nice to see that reputation going away.

        Well, Smoak was non-tendered so I guess I won't have to worry about how crappy he was going to be.

        Maybe they'll bring him back on a minor-league contract?

          One thing you can always count on from players: They will find a way to complain!

          I laughed when I read Brett Lawrie's comments/complaints about Rogers Centre. Dude says nothing when he was here but the minute he is traded he complains.
