Jays GM Alex Anthopolous Live Web Chat
Jordan Bastian tweeters (no, he is not actually using a coil suspended within a magnetic field in order to produce a high frequency at the upper limits of human hearing but I feel self-conscious about using correct twitter lingo) that Jays GM Alex Anthoplous will be doing a live web chat with fans over on bluejays.com this afternoon at 4 pm.

Somehow there is something wrong with the idea of a grown man saying tweets or twits or whatever the agreed upon term might be.
Funny story
And I don’t really know where else to put it.
Last night me and my lady friend were going for groceries and I mentioned “Oh, Roy Halladay was traded”
(Girfriend not a baseball fan at all, but I watch enough that she knows the players. She refers to Vernon as ‘the chubby guy’ and likes guys like Brandon League and Marco Scutaro) Anyways, she asked why he was traded and I didn’t feel like delving into contracts, and payrolls and everything else so I just said that they got 3 good players in return. She said, “awww, thats too bad. At least we still have Scutaro”. Ummmm, he’s in Boston now. To which she wailled “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”.
It was pretty funny, she generally hates baseball but was legitamitely upset at Scoot not being resigned.

My girlfriend was devastated with Rios` trading last year
She called him the “one with the cute nose”

Al - How does Brian Doparik fit into your 2010 plans?

AA - Wallace an impact player
there have already been inquiries for a trade for Wallace
I wish people would stop asking him about stuff thats already happened
and ask about the future.

past is prologue, haha

AA -- none of the prospects coming to Jays failed physicals
AA cannot speak to others
Is he still concidered "intermn?"
If not, that’s a weird statement

AA - Chad Jenkins looking great in instructional leagues
no timeline for MLB
Jenkins could move very fast
but no reason to rush him

I hope he answers one of my questions
i asked one about Dopirak and the clog at 1B… his thoughts on trading Accardo, and his thoughts on the lack of athleticism on the team.

AA - Drabek starting in AA cuz that is where he finished last season
AA will elevate Drabek to as high a level as his talent will carry him
I wonder how our farm system would rank
with our new acquisitions. I have to think we’d at least get near the top half of the league, no?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
AA - Jays young pitchers are highly sought and though AA would like to keep them
they could be moved for the right pieces
AA loves greek food
IMHO, one of the best features of Toronto is the great greek dining … Love it
definitely
I’ve had some incredible greek food in Toronto.

AA - Jays could have nine first round picks and the team wants to flood
its farm system with talent
Yuu Huhhhh!!!

AA - in the next draft, Jays will emphasize talent over position
aka, the Dakers argument
you always do in a draft...
can’t draft what a team needs now when the draft pick will take 4 years to get to the team.
AA - Zach Stewart to be a starter
scouting reports project him as a #3
AA - JoBa currently the default leadoff
unless trade up
Maybe we'll see them in September
And then crack the opening day roster in 2011? Or is that a little too optimistic?

I dont doubt we'll see Wallace in September
IF everything goes well this season for him.
Drabek maybe, although again that depends on how well he does this year, and if we have any open spots in the rotation.

I actually think that's reasonable, particularly Wallace
but it will depend on how they progress this season.

I can't imagine the Jays will be redrafting any of their high-profile picks who didn't sign, can you?

Mills wasn’t a very high pick the first time around, though, right?
"Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our closed rooms... The game of ball is glorious." - Walt Whitman
I mean, you can see
the logic in a team re-drafting someone that wasn’t a high-round pick and reasonably decided to go to college before reentering the draft (especially someone like Mills, who went to complete an Engineering degree), and you can see the logic in a team going after a player who they failed to sign once some other team has signed them (like Wallace, since there is no risk of losing them again), but I don’t see a team using a 1st-3rd round pick on someone and then doing it again the very next year after they refuse to sign.
I’ve been wrong before though…

Iguess my point is scouts don’t stop liking their guys
by ayjackson on Dec 18, 2009 5:10 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I definitely agree with that part of it

In other news, "Cubs trade Bradley for Silva, cash"
re: My question to AA - "Al, Please do NOT trade Snyder, thank you"
“We love Travis Snider. No idea where these rumors are coming from. We think he’s going to be an impact middle-of-the-order at bat and in addition he has such a tremendous make-up he could be a great leader on this team one day”
it was Blair
He said it out of the blue on PTS, then decided it was so rich he should tweet it. He’s just trying to get revenge for all the ridicule over the Luge coverage.
