Re: 2014 Blue Jays
Unfortunately, that's what it looks like. I hope AA comes to his senses and fires Gibbons or at the very least someone from up above makes that a stipulation to AA keeping his job.
In the end though, it looks like status quo all the way through "sigh"Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
Dalton Pompey: fool's gold or something serious?
I've been impressed by the play of this kid. One thing i've noticed is that he has great plate discipline and when he squares up on the ball he can hit it hard and deep. His triple tonight was just beautiful as he had such great balance on his swing, got down and drove the ball to the OF. He also has very good range in the field and could be an excellent defender.

"watches the tumbleweeds fly by"
So there are media reports that the Blue Jays are one of 4 teams interested in former Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long.
WHUT?
If the Jays let Seitzer go and replace him with Long i'll seriously bang my head on the table until I bleed.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
Has anyone told AC about this?
The Dodgers will name Athletics executive Farhan Zaidi, a Berkeley-educated economist, as their next general manager, baseball sources confirmed to ESPNLosAngeles.com Tuesday night.
I don't think he's going to be happy.
It's nice to see just days after the season, AA already brought up financial flexibility as one of the reasons for the Lind trade. It seems like Financial Flexibility should be our team motto.Comment

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
The one good thing? AA unwittingly set things up perfectly for his successor if he's fired/let go after this season as the only big contract that's guaranteed in '16 and onwards is Reyes. The new GM would have a completely clean slate to build the team the way he wants to.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
I'm undecided about whether to renew my 15-game flex pack for next year.
I think about watching Justin Smoak get any at bats and I just want to throw up.
If that's the type of move we're going to make this off-season, I'm going to need a new team to cheer on.Comment

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
You guys are eternal optimists. I think he'll be garbage. He'll hit some homers -- probably solo shots in true Toronto fashion -- and that's about it.Comment

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
There are lots of HitF/X fancy stats to suggest that he might be due for something of a breakout, and he plays 1B. Former top prospect pedigree, and to think this has anything to do with the calibre of moves that will be made this offseason is to be misled.

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
I'm not opposed to the Smoak acquisition as I think he's a guy that's due to break out with a change of scenery. I also think playing 81 games at Rogers Centre will bring his power numbers up.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: 2014 Blue Jays
In reality he'll likely just positively regress to his true talent but it'll probably get labelled as "change of scenery."
Also can't you use that Rogers Centre line of reasoning for anyone? Park factors exist for a reason."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment
