OT: The Toronto Blue Jays

[CH1]

I'm not really happy the Jays are building a knuckleball academy. Seems like long odds with the ultimate prize being Tim Wakefield 2.0 I say aim a little higher.

at worst it gives the catchers in the system to practice catching it.

they're building a knuckleball academy becuase they have two 40 year old knuckleballers in the system?

by the way, i guess this is why jpa was driving buehrle nuts early in the year:

Peter Gammons ‏@pgammo 2m
Best thing learned @ Winter Meetings comes from Mark DeRosa:Mark Buehrle has faced 12,021 batters and never shaken off a catcher's sign

Wouldn't it be something if the Jays end up not upgrading at SP or 2B....

Based my post on a clip with AA on Sportsnet. Can't find the clip but more knucklers to come.

Yeah. AA said he wants more. Apparently it's to help Jimenez.

He should just quit if that is the case.

sketchy reports out there that the Cubs have re-signed Jeff Samardzija

 

[Hoss]

I want Garza.... loved what he was able to do with the AL in Tampa... I think he could be a solid two . I'm a bit drunk, and don't know much about baseball like some of you nerds, but if it only takes money for Garza I say you do it.

 

[JohnnyHolmes]

What...is Jamie Moyer not available?

I think it's been debunked.

Hid medicals, loss of velocity, and large contract demands scare the shit out of me

2B Ellis to the Cards. 1-year deal.

such a St Louis move.

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

He would have been a good stop gap.

Cannot believe we are going with Goins. He may have the glove but with his bat, he'll be gone by the end of May.

Urgh, what is going on with this off season.

 

[CaptainBolduke]

I am OK going with:

Reyes, Lawrie, Bautista, EE, Lind, Rasmus, Melky, Dioner, Goins/Izzy

I am not OK going with:

Dickey, MB, Morrow, Happ, XXX.

There are still about 8 weeks left until pitchers and catchers report. I suppose we have sometime to do something. I refuse to believe that losing TDA, Synder, Jake, Henderson, etc. was all for nothing.

AA better have some rabbits in a hat.

 

[leafman101]

Rabbits in his hat? Its December.

He's going to make moves this offseason.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

The entire offseason has stalled because of Tanaka.
