OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[MyNameIsJonas]

I would've preferred Pierzynski.....but at the price i can't complain.

Like Zeke said his D has gotten better over the past few years and i love the fact he can get on base.

He's also a guy who has that compete factor to him

don't think that's true. poor work ethic has dogged him throughout his career.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Also allow me be the first to say that i very much look forward to the monthly posts zeke is going to make comparing Navarro and JPA, if Dioner struggles

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Zeke and Mike Wilmer will have something in common. Wilmer is already pissing and moaning saying pretty much the same things as Zeke.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Wilner is kind of a tool though

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Not kind of, he is a tool. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[zeke]

hmm, I thought I was being pretty positive.

 

[CaptainBolduke]

I'm not excited or pissed by this.

All in all - i'm glad that the JPA experiment as a starter has come to an end. It didn't work.

Probably how we should feel...and the price seems good.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

At least Zeke can read a defensive metrics sheet...i have no doubt Wilner hasn't a clue.

If Navarro doesn't cry about the media when they criticize him for playing like complete crap then I consider this signing a win already.

gregorMLB: According to @ShiDavidi, Blue Jays will non-tender Arencibia if a trade partner doesn't surface before tonight's deadline.

Glad he'll be gone. Wouldn't be surprised if he has a good year next year with a new team though.

Good being not leading the league in errors and posting an OPS above .600?

 

[zeke]

would be funny to see him destroy the Green Monster next year.

 

[MindzEye]

He could hit 30 Hr's in Boston and still manage to post a .650OPS

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

wow, that's hitting rock bottom

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Yeah, he will catch Dickey and probably get into 60-70 games. Hopefully playing more will help his bat improve.

Twitter is buzzing that JPA will be gone very shortly. Good! Get that cancer off the team.

I still like JPA. It'd be a mistake to get rid of him.

 

[axlsalinger]

Would've preferred a better option, but Navarro is alright I guess. As others have mentioned, he's been pretty hit and miss in his career, when he's been on he's been a decent player.

A concern that he can't stick with a team, and his # of games played over the last 4 years also brings into question how much he will actually be able to play.

2010 Rays - 48
2011 Dodgers - 64
2012 Reds - 24
2013 Cubs - 89

It's risky. But still nice to know that JP won't be back.

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Not sure if serious, LOF...
