October 30, 20159 yr comment_164767 Cubs have the advantage of having Joe Maddon as manager they both think very highly of each other. Exciting time to be a Cubs fan. Looks like might go hard to get two of the better pitchers on the market and Jason Hayward.
October 30, 20159 yr comment_164771 I expect the jays to offer big. Itd be stupid of the jays management not to see or appreciate what opening their wallets did not just for the on field product but attendence and bottom line. They have a relatively young team, if they have concern about their pipeline, u do whats necessairly to keep this team intact until u restock the cupboards
November 1, 20159 yr comment_165258 IF we can lock up price, with strowman and estrada, we have a 4th option. during the jays/royals series we claimed pitcher pat venditte off waivers who is the only switch pitcher in the majors right now. he could be a solid 4th assuming buerhle and dickey are done
November 1, 20159 yr comment_165260 Estrada is also a free agent so you better get him signed before you start to set up your rotation. By the way i hear AA gave up 20 prospects in all the trades he made.
November 1, 20159 yr comment_165278 They've already announced that Sanchez is coming out of the bullpen to join the starting rotation next year... Fwiw.

November 2, 20159 yr comment_165638 dont have any reason why not, if he sucks maybe he just turns into the new sanchez and is a bull pen player if in fact sanchez is coming to the starting rotation. I was reading up on venditte a little more, imagine having a player that can could potentially pitch 200 pitches a game (wishful thinking but no reason to think you couldnt get 100 pitches left arm, 100 pitches right arm)
November 2, 20159 yr comment_165658 Congratulations KC. What a team. Yes thanks KC for beating the Mets being a Yankees fan i couldn't bare it if the Mets would of won the World Series
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165687 Congratulations KC. What a team. At least we got beat by the best team in baseball.
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165691 Aww they didnt seem all that..... we were beatin...by...the...best
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165753 dont have any reason why not, if he sucks maybe he just turns into the new sanchez and is a bull pen player if in fact sanchez is coming to the starting rotation. I was reading up on venditte a little more, imagine having a player that can could potentially pitch 200 pitches a game (wishful thinking but no reason to think you couldnt get 100 pitches left arm, 100 pitches right arm) I think you're in serious trouble if you're throwing 200 pitches in one game...
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165759 Lol I wouldnt want that many pitches for sure, but the guy can potentially burn one arm then switch arms. Hes much better right handed but his numbers left handed arent that bad
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165760 Lol I wouldnt want that many pitches for sure, but the guy can potentially burn one arm then switch arms. Hes much better right handed but his numbers left handed arent that bad if he's good enough, one thing could be a major advantage in the playoffs... start one game as a righty and then be available the next couple games as a lefty in the bullpen...
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165883 I dont know if it applies to the majors, but he was told he had to declare what hand he was pitchig the batter before they stepped into the batter box in the minors - not being allowed to switch hands during the at bat, but I dont beleve he was restricted from changing back n forth for every new batter. His numbers arent deadly, but he put up reasonable stats pitching for oakland (something like 1.18 era right handed, 2.78 era left) I dont think he ever pitched for the yankees tho despite being a 2008 draft of theirs
November 7, 20159 yr comment_166987 Estrada offered a 1 year 15.8m extention by the jays, has 1 week to accept. reported Cubs are the front runner in offer for price
November 7, 20159 yr comment_167006 Price kind of sucked in the playoffs. Sign Estrada and Jays will be OK with Stroman Estrada Dickey Sanchez and ... ?? Go after Zach Greinke... I'd take him over price any day. Greinke gonna get paid But doesn't small market low budget KC winning proves that you really don't need a price or a guy like that? ?
November 7, 20159 yr comment_167071 Estrada and Stroman both proved that when the game matters most, they are MONEY... Price did not, I'd rather give that money to Estrada than Price that's for sure... Price sucks when it matters most.
November 7, 20159 yr comment_167165 Im on the fence with price, he was money helping them get to the playoffs. but yeah his track record in the post season is pretty bad (like 0-8 now or something?) kinda like the baseball version of Joe Thorton. boy did that guy F up my playoff hockey pools year after year for a while
November 8, 20159 yr comment_167215 Price was amazing during the regular season.... he definitely is worth the... Price
November 11, 20159 yr comment_168091 well its reported the jays are offering price a long term offer, not sure how much, but also going after greinke. that would be huge to get both. some award bs tho, pallard didnt win a gold glove (robbery) and donaldson only a finalist so far for AL MVP (with trout and cain)
November 11, 20159 yr comment_168203 I didnt follow the Rays all that closely (not much at all really) and Kiermaier who won the gold glove over Pillar had a league leading 42 saved runs, but I still think it was robbery. Pillar was a human highlight reel this year defensively. I dont even think im saying that biasedly as a jays fan
November 12, 20159 yr comment_168322 I didnt follow the Rays all that closely (not much at all really) and Kiermaier who won the gold glove over Pillar had a league leading 42 saved runs, but I still think it was robbery. Pillar was a human highlight reel this year defensively. I dont even think im saying that biasedly as a jays fan So was Kiermaier. Not a slight to Pillar at all Kiermaier just as good as Pillar.
December 1, 20159 yr comment_172046 7 years 217 million for price. Red Sox signed him. That's a lot of money for a guy who sucks in the playoffs That's 31 million a year or 658000 a week. Now that is stupid money
