jtworsley Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Mets have signed Michael Cuddyer and will forfeit the 15th overall pick to the Rockies What a stupid move, Cuddyer is 35 and hasn't played in 140+ games since 2010. Last year, he only played in 49 games. Typical Mets move Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLocker10 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Cuddyer also won't be playing half his games at coors. I'm a Russell Martin fan but man the jays went way overboard there. That type of contract to a 32 yr old catcher is a mistake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Pumped about Russell Martin! Not only is he Canadian but you have to understand 1) The leadership he brings to the clubhouse which we need 2) The Jays have a phenomenal young staff and more young arms on the way i.e. Sanchez, Stroman, Hutchison, Daniel Norris...we need a vet catcher that can handle all these guys. It's a huge signing for us. We already have Navarro at catcher who is pretty good. Martin will play alot of DH and maybe even first base with Lind gone.

jtworsley Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 $60 million at ages 34-36 I think it was a bad move by the Braves to trade Heyward too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtworsley Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Giancarlo is making $68.5K PER DAY for the next 13 years And oh yeah, he has a full NTC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLocker10 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think it was a bad move by the Braves to trade Heyward too I didn't mind the trade because it seemed unlikely they would be able to resign him, so at least they filled a need and got a guy who's controllable for the next 4 seasons in Miller. I don't get the rumors about trading Upton though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtworsley Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Nice trade for Toronto, if they get some pitching they could have a pretty serious team in 2015 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLocker10 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 Nice trade for Toronto, if they get some pitching they could have a pretty serious team in 2015 They already have a lot of pitching. I agree, it was a good trade. Donaldson is a top 5 caliber 3B at a prime age. I think once Billy saw the deals for Sandoval and Seager, he decided to begin moving Donaldson because he knew he wouldn't be able to keep him at that price.

Guest Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Love the Donaldson trade. Nice trade for Toronto, if they get some pitching they could have a pretty serious team in 2015 Dude you must be unfamiliar with our young arms. Marcus Stroman - top half of the rotation pitcher - 2014 MLB stats :11-6 3.65 ERA - 23 years old Aaron Sanchez Future #1 Ace - 2014 MLB stats - 2-2 - 1.09 ERA - 85 strike outs in 100 innings - 22 years old Drew Hutchison - Middle of rotation - 2014 MLB Stats - 11-13 - 190 innings - 4.50 ERA - 24 years old We also have prospect Darnell Nurse who is a top Baseball America prospect. These guys join vet starters RA Dickey, Mark Buerhle and JA Happ. There's a good chance Sanchez will remain our closer since there is no room for him in the rotation. We are crazy deep in arms.

jtworsley Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Love the Donaldson trade. Dude you are totally unfamiliar with our young arms. Marcus Stroman - top half of the rotation pitcher - 2014 MLB stats :11-6 3.65 ERA - 23 years old Aaron Sanchez Future #1 Ace - 2014 MLB stats - 2-2 - 1.09 ERA - 85 strike outs in 100 innings - 22 years old Drew Hutchison - Middle of rotation - 2014 MLB Stats - 11-13 - 190 innings - 4.50 ERA - 24 years old We also have prospect Darnell Nurse who is a top Baseball America prospect. These guys join RA Dickey, Mark Buerhle and JA Happ. There's a good chance Sanchez will remain our closer since there is no room for him in the rotation. We are crazy deep in arms. Dickey is 43 and as the team's ace had an ERA of 3.71 Mark Buehrle is 36 and opponents had a BAA of .287 against him last year, granted he logs 200 IP per year JA Happ is awful, you seriously want to consider him a worthwhile pitcher? Darnell Nurse...do you mean the hockey player? The team lacks a legit ace, which was what I was referring to. I'd love Dickey if he wasn't the front man in my rotation, but he is in Toronto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I think you're a better baseball fan then to think every competitive roster needs to have 3 Ace's. Mark Buerhle can pitch in pretty much any rotation he wants because he;s a guaranteed 200 plus inning guy who is good enough to be your 4th or 5th guy. Dickey is a knuckleballer (age is no factor), another massive innings eater, and a former Cy Young award winner and a top 3 guy in almost any rotation. JA Happ is a LH that everyone needs and went 11-11 last year as a starter with a 4.22 ERA and can pitch in almost anyone's rotation. Granted we don;t have a David Price #1 ACE type guy...that is hoped to be Sanchez. He has all the stuff and make up. We might have had David Price if we would have traded Aaron Sanchez . However it;s also possible we keep Sanchez as our closer. Sanchez throws 98 and has a wipeout breaking ball and throws 5 pitches well. 22 years old. In the end, on paper, we have one of the best, deepest rotations in all of MLB and I think you're just too caught up in star power and not realizing the young talent on hand. ...and if the Jays are as competitive as they should be you can guarantee we'll be in the market for a top arm come July/August if we need one. Look out for the Jays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Darnell Nurse! Hah! I actually meant Nolin but I screwed up twice because he went the other way with Laurie. Nolin has the potential to be a top half of the rotation guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 What about Stroman? Dude has all kinds of stuff, goes 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA as a 23 year old, and you already can say he will never be an ACE? For the record i don;t see him as #1 guy either but a great #2 or #3 guy. He';s going to win 12-18 games every year and be a sub 4.00 ERA guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
