just have to figure out where to play everyone without killing the D.
Lind to first and Overbay gone maybe?
no, cannot move Overbay
so I would platoon Ruiz with Overbay and Lind has to play OF on days where Overbay plays and then Ruiz is DH
so against righties Overbay and Lind play the field and Ruiz DHs
and gainst lefties Overbay sits, Ruiz plays 1b and Lind DHs and Bautista plays (if he is still around)
Snider, Lind, Wells, Edwin, Hill, Vespa (if still here), Ruiz should bat everyday IMHo
Snider is started to look better with a glove, IMHO,
yeah, I just don't think an outfield of Lind, Snider and Wells will be good
for such a young pitching staff
I cannot argue that point against you … but we have to work with what we got
it will put a lot of pressure on Wells, but he is ok … and Snider is, at least as I have observed, seemingly much more comfortable out there
Lind still makes me sweat everytime a ball is hit his way
Bautista, if still here is ok
i think you are going to lose a lot fewer games from a not-stellar outfield than you win with good bats, but yep, it is a liability for sure
AA has a lot of decisions to make, I really got the sense that
Halladay is gone, especially after listening to him yesterday, if so I say let Marco and Barajas walk. Then I hope AA can be agressive in the darft go over slot and actually sign the players
if no Halladay, no shot at competing IMO, so take the draft
picks, rebuild, maybe try and get a ss in the Halladay trade
the Halladay situation, well it is just a business matter at this point
if Halladay is committed to FA, than the Jays should move him in order to maximize his value to the team
if Halladay will stay, than they should keep him
he has pretty much indicated he wants to go, so really the the decision is made for them
fair enough, I just think if Halladay is dealt, they
won’t likely add payroll as it will be tough to compete in 2010 without him, so why not take the two draft picks and look to the future.
That makes good sense too
Which is why I’d make a terrible MLB manager… too sentimental towards players I like.
Tigers just won, Rios grounded into a double play for the last play of the season.
And it looks like the Twins are going to win so we are looking at a 2nd year in a row with a one game playoff
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
yankees must be loving this, tigers had to burn a Verlander start before the playoffs and
can’t even start him in game one now if they beat the twins. The yanks are going to wax whoever wins the central. Winnign the east is a big advantage this year.
anyone know how the draft order works where teams have the same record?
I ask because the Jays could end up with the same record as Oakland and San Diego
hard hitting johnny mac up
come on … 2nd tater of the game
holy cow Laval is getting beat inthe 4th quarter
that is a hellacious upset
Game saving play by Hill
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Terrible throw on that bunt by League
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Two consecutive terrble throws on bunts by League
to lose the game
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
